“Highly recommend, we loved our stay in Kandy and the apartment was a big part of this.”
We loved the apartment, location and host family. Private apartment but with breakfast and hosts on hand if needed. Very secure and safe, only 10 min walk downhill to Kandy centre and Temple of the Tooth. Easy to get lift back via pick me. Great views out to ancient forest and hillsides. Grand Kandyan hotel next door has rooftop pool with day pass available for reasonable price.

Warm and easy-to-communicate hosts made the stay very comfortable. The Sri Lankan breakfast was delicious. The location looks far on the map, but it’s actually within walking distance to shops and the city center—just keep in mind the walk back is uphill.

“Spacious home feeling apartment with view”
The apartment is very spacious and clean with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Very nice balcony and enough amenities. Rishi’s mama prepared great breakfast with varieties for us every morning with generous portion and fresh cut fruits! We loved it so much. The apartment is located on the hill (that’s why great scenery). If you don’t want to walk, it’s a cheap and 5-min Tuk tuk ride down and up to down town area. Will definitely return and recommend to friends!

“Fabulous hosts, great location”
Hosts were amazingly hospitable - very helpful and accommodating to our needs. Location was great, only being a 15mins walk into the heart of the city. The place was very roomy and the beds really comfortable. They served us up a delicious breakfast that kept us going for a lot of the day. Due to a change in our plans, we could only stay one night, but we would have been very happy to have stayed more

Wonderful location with exceptional view. Close to the main streets but far enough that it’s very calm and quiet. Extremely nice and helpful hosts, who wanted to make our stay the best in every possible way. They asked what we would like to eat and made a delicious breakfast.
