“Amazing, highly recommended.”
+Best place I’ve ever stayed in. From the views to the rooms and the people. Prashan and his family are the kindest and most hospitable people ever. I loved their food. Prashan helped with guidance and for a very small fee showed me around the city and places I wanted to go. Highly recommended when in Kandy.

“HOME AWAY FROM HOME!”
+I think I can give the view a 10/10! Especially Prashan. Oh god, how can one person be this hospitable? The stay was just another home in a different country. Things could not have been more better, istg.

“Wonderful.”
+Prashan was an amazing host and was always available whenever we needed anything. The room was clean and comfortable, and the view was absolutely stunning. Breakfast was excellent as well. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this place.
−The Wi-Fi connection was not very reliable during our stay. The location is also a little tucked away, which made it somewhat difficult to get a PickMe from the property.

“Amazing escape with uninterrupted view of the valley and mountains beyond.”
+The pictures don't do it justice--the house as well as the view.
−There was nothing I didn't like. I'd say it might be a bit off the beaten path, but that's exactly what I wanted and the hosts are very accommodating and helpeful when it comes to finding it.

+We were lucky to get an authentic insight into the real Sri Lanka and the local culture. Our host Prashan was incredibly warm and welcoming - we can highly recommend this accommodation! The accommodation: The room was clean, well-furnished, and equipped with a fan and mosquito net. The small private pool was a real highlight - and all of this at a very fair price. The food: The food was delicious, freshly prepared, and full of flavor. There was a huge variety, and always more than enough. The host: Prashan speaks perfect English, which made communication very easy. He is extremely friendly, helpful, and always there to support with advice and assistance. He really caters to the wishes and needs of his guests, and shares fascinating insights into nature, culture, and everyday life in Sri Lanka. His hospitality is truly impressive. The activities: We went on a TukTuk tour together and visited a breathtaking waterfall, went on a beautiful mountain hike with spectacular views, explored a riverbed, and watched giant bats in the evening. It was a one-of-a-kind experience that we’ll never forget! We felt safe and well taken care of at all times, as Prashan accompanied us throughout and ma

“Another wonderful stay 😊”
+I was happy to return to Mystay Homestay to continue exploring Mawanella and to enjoy the neat rooms, lovely meals and wonderful hospitality. 😊 This time the bedroom floor was given a fresh coat of paint. A clothes rack has been added to further the comfort of the guests. Mystay has the best coconut pancake in the world for breakfast. The pancake skin is thin and luxuriously soft with a generous amount of grated coconut in jaggery. The dhal curry is delicately spiced with well-balanced ingredients and is most agreeable with the stomach. 😋 Even the other guest asked for a second helping of the dhal curry. There are now 3 dining areas comprising of 2 open huts and the treetop dining loft which is in popular demand. This time round, the host Prashan brought to a relatively unknown temple Mawela Raja Maha (Kadugannawa) with nearly 2000 years of history and architecture. Though small, the carvings and secluded room of Buddha, and easy walk to this site is worth it.
