“A perfect home away from home with incredible hosts and breathtaking views.”

Having lived in Sri Lanka for the past five years, I was excited for my father and brother to experience the country for the first time on their two-week holiday. We originally booked this apartment for just two nights but loved it so much that we extended our stay to four nights. The three-bedroom apartment exceeded all of our expectations. It was spacious, comfortable, spotlessly clean, and offered breathtaking views across Kandy. Waking up each morning to the scenery was a real highlight of our trip. What truly made our stay special, however, were the hosts. Their hospitality was exceptional from start to finish. They kindly drove us into town, helped arrange local trips and activities, and made us feel completely at home. The traditional Sri Lankan breakfasts were absolutely delicious and the perfect way to start each day. Overall, this was one of the best places we stayed during our travels in Sri Lanka. We would not hesitate to return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kandy.

Most amazing host, lovely property, you can see entire city from the house, so wonderful breakfast options and variety, very clean house, all the facilities were top notch.. must stay in this property..

The hosts welcomed us warmly and helped us to get to property in rainy weather. The size of the apartment exceeded our expectations and the view was just amazing

Great having our own apartment! Fantastic view and the staff were very friendly and helpful and gave us lifts with no charges! Breakfast was also the best we have had so far in SRI Lanka :)

“Great place with great value for money”

Rooms were very spacious and clean host was very kind. breakfast was very tasty.

Owners extremely kind Breakfast Huge apartment

“Recommended!”

We liked absolutely everything! The apartment was very spacious with beautiful view. The breakfast was really tasty with a lot of choises. The best we have had in SL

“Service and property was good.”

The breakfast was good and location was also good but road is not good. It was too high to reach and had no sign board and for that reason, we had to take time to find out the property.

Beautiful apartment with absolutely incredible view. It is located quite high up the mountain on a steep road. The owners are fantastic people, very helpful with everything. We stayed longer than we planned. 100% recommendable!

“Our host Lakshitha picked us up from the station and was super helpful during our stay. His family provided a beautiful”

We loved our stay at Jaya Tomodachi! The view from the apartment is stunning and the rooms / beds were very comfortable. It was well furnished and while we were only on a short stay, we felt at home straight away. The main bedroom is a generous room with ensuite. The property is away from the noisey main part of town and on a very steep hill but accessible by Tuk Tuk and our host was happy to drop us in town. Breakfast included was superb with both sweet and savoury options and varied each day. This was wonderful home cooking and hospitality. It’s a tranquil apartment and would recommend it.

Very clean and huge, comfortable place to stay with my family, Mr. Lakshmi was very kind and helpful person from arrival time, he offered his best and my family enjoyed everything there, very kind and excellent hospitality services was provided with them, highly recommend thank you.

“Kandy Jaya Tomodachi”

Lakshitha and his Family gave us an excellent stay at Jaya Tomodachi. Breakfast was very good. The view from the house is amazing! Lakshitha also provided airport pick-up service and a visit to Dambulla and Sigiriya. Strongly recommended as a place to stay in Kandy.

The amazing view, lovely helpful staff and delicious breakfast with many different options.

“Great vale”

Spacious, clean and comfortable apartment with great hosts. A nice experience staying more residential but still close to city. Amazing breakfasts. Nice views. Great value.

“Affordable, authentic place on a steep slope with a great host”

This accommodation is affordable, authentic, local and worth staying. Rich and tasty local and European breakfast. We adored all kinds of served fruits such as avocado, banana, mangosteen (♡), papaya, pineapple etc. We also felt really welcome and fully taken care of. For example, my husband had diarrhea one day, and they made one big bowl of rice immediately! Finally, we really appreciated talking and communicating with the host for common issues that bridge different people together.

Hi, host are very helpful for our journey's. Breakfast was excellent variety of food. Special thanks to our host. We will visit again.

Really good breakfast and awesome view!

We HIGHLY recommend this property! From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome and looked after so well. The apartment was spacious, spotless, and had everything we could need. There was a full kitchen, comfortable beds, an iron and ironing board, 2 bathrooms, lovely decor and the most BEAUTIFUL views. Our host, Lakshita, was extremely accommodating. He took us to town on arrival to look around, and on a day trip to Sigiriya the next day. His lovely parents were also so warm, welcoming and helpful, and his mum's cooking for breakfast each day was amazing!! There are food and shopping options within walking distance, and the town centre is a short tuk-tuk ride away. Overall, a wonderful, cost effective, and memorable choice to stay whilst in Kandy. Thank you to Lakshita and family, we hope to be back one day!

Lovely home cooked breakfast with plenty of variety. Host and his entire family were lovely, friendly and helpful people.

“Quiet view over Kandy”

Jaya Tomodachi was the ideal choice for our three nights in Kandy. The apartment is very large and spotless, equipped with everything you could possibly need. Our host was incredibly friendly and even went the extra mile to get us tickets for the Perahera Festival, which we really appreciated. The location is a major plus—tucked away in a quiet area outside of the busy city center. While the road is a bit steep, it's easily manageable. Plus, having a supermarket for essentials right nearby was incredibly convenient. We were so happy we chose to stay here!
