The accomodation is located close to the National park. The room was clean and the host was kind and arranged everything for us. He organised a tuk tuk and a Safari and we got a good dinner at the accomodation. It was a perfect stay with a perfect host and a beautiful safari.

We had a very good stay! The host helped us with the busses (there are busses from Ella to the place and to Sigiriya). They also cooked very good food and we had a stunning safari organised by the host. Highly recommend!

“Great host, great location nearby the nationalpark, clean and comfy rooms.”

Great place right in the heart of Wasgamuwa, excellent location if you're doing a safari. The owner was lovely and spoke excellent English, he welcomed us with a delicious drink and we had a chat. In the evening we were cooked an amazing dinner, super tasty and very cheap as well. Can highly recommend this place to stay, it's incredible value for money!

Fantastic stay after our visit to the National Park We stayed here for one night after visiting the National Park, and we can wholeheartedly recommend this place. We were traveling with two children and had a wonderful stay. In the evening, we had a long and pleasant conversation with the owner outside, after which he surprised us with a delicious à la carte dinner. The next morning, a generous breakfast was waiting for us — beautifully prepared down to the smallest detail. The interior also deserves a special mention: tastefully decorated, full of atmosphere, and with great attention to detail. Not your typical, plain hotel room, but a warm and charming space with beautiful furniture. Everything was also spotlessly clean. We honestly couldn’t have wished for a better stay in this region. The owner sometimes also offers guided tours through the National Park — definitely worth asking about! In short: highly recommended!

“Great experience”

The hosts were really friendly and made us feel like home. We also did the safari with them, was a lot of fun! We would recommend staying in Kandyan Rest!

“Fine budget accommodation for a safari trip”

Although the staff could not speak English very well, they were very friendly and willing to help us. We could order dinner and breakfast (at 5.15 AM) at the accommodation which was very nice and cheap. We arranged safari trip via the accommodation which was a great experience! The staff (with the owner as translator per phone) helped us in catching a bus to Kandy. Also there is a shop next to the accommodation to buy drinks and snacks.

Family owned guest house with good common areas both inside and outside. You can order food here which is good because there are almost no restaurants in the area.

Little hard to communicate but everything went well

“Nice facilities but staff way too ‘pushy’ when trying to sell”

Nice facilities for the price, friendly staff although way too ‘pushy’ when trying to sell you stuff. Kavishka was very helpful. Cleanliness was good, though there were quite a number of ants on one particular wall of our room. Unsure whether this is due to the hot weather but not a major issue. The safari in the park is good to see elephants, birds, and monkeys in their natural habitat. we were the only ones in the safari so that was pretty good too.

“Booking.com info is all wrong and misleading.”

Breakfast was not included but web site said included. We paid for it.

The room is really clean and the bed is comfortable The food is amazing and really affordable! I do really recommend this place.
