+Will not hesitate to book again and wish we had stayed longer! This was the best place we stayed in Sri Lanka and we miss it already. It was exceptionally clean and thoughtfully furnished, you'd find everything you would need for a cosy and comfortable stay. What also really stood out was Kanil and his family, who are just the most hospitable hosts who made us feel even more at ease. Their home made breakfast was also very hearty and delicious!

“This place is absolutely excellent.”
+I cannot speak highly enough about both the facility and the manager. The apartment is very well appointed, clean, comfortable, classy, and beautiful. We booked an extra night as soon as we could just to extend our time there. The manager, Kanil* is an absolute gem as is his family. I wish them all the best and I recommend this place to anyone and everyone.
−The location is a bit out-of-the-way; this is not really a "bad" thing as the location is intentionally secluded and outside of town; this contributes to the cozy and nature-y feel. But just know that you will need transport into town (but it is only like 7 minutes or so). Again, not a negative, just something that naturally comes with choosing a place off the beaten path. The plus side is that the place feels so tucked into the hills and river and so local and charming.

“Superb stay in the middle of Sri Lanka!”
+If I could rate this 1000/10 I would! Kanil was an exceptional host who goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great time. He also takes additional steps to make sure that you arrive safe. It’s a very peaceful hideout and perfect if you want to live in a more secluded area. Facilities are all clean and in top condition.
−I recommend arriving by car/tuktuk as it’s a but secluded

“Great place to stay, it is a cozy appointment with all the amenities. Ten on Ten!”
+We liked about everything in this stay..The host Mr.Kanil offered a pickup from bus station and dropped too. The property is located in a very scenic place, Comfortable living and bedroom, cozy kitchen and a cool balcony with a great view. Rooms are super clean, spic and span the decor is tastefully done. Well placed indoor plants adds a charm to the room. We have cooked our dinner. The host has kept variety of authentic Tea for tasting. There is a washing machine and cloths stand too. An unforgettable stay with a great host. We are sure to stay here in all our trips to Kandy hereafter.

“Home away from Home 👍”
+All were better than expected. Hosts were exceptionally great - their hospitality and attention to details were remarkable and made our stay a memorable one. We wanted to experience the local Kandian lifestyle and we got exactly what we wanted👌
−Distance from the CBD location can be challenging for some travellers but we knew this before we got there. The host- Kanil picked us at the main train station and dropped us off. So, we did not experience any difficulties. Pickme - the local Uber style transport was readily available to travel as much as we wanted.

“great hospitality”
+It was a wonderful two days. The room was both large and very comfortable, and the room was in a very quiet place. The view is so beautiful. I'm not an early riser, but I wanted to get up early and enjoy the view. Everything is more beautiful than the photos. Kanil and his family treated us like new family members. They tried to complete every shortcoming of ours. We were very grateful. We will undoubtedly stay here next time we come. Thank you very much again.

“If it’s free, book it. You’ll thank me later.”
+I loved everything about it. A large apartment, with living room, kitchen etc. Everything was clean. You could see that a lot of thought was put on every detail. To top it off, Kanil and his family were super kind and extra helpful. I cannot recommend it enough

“Exceptional”
+Lovely host and amazing view in a very comfortable room! Kanil and his family were super friendly and helpful. They‘ve picked us up in the city and brought us there again when we left. Kanil even helped us to get into the correct public bus. We highly recommend getting the optional breakfast, as it is homemade and really good! The room is very cozy and clean. It was an overall amazing experience and we‘d definitely stay here again!

“My best accommodation in Sri Lanka”
+It was my best accommodation in Sri Lanka. The flat is amazing and felt like home from the very first second. It has everything you need plus a small balcony with an incredible nature view. By far it was the cleanest place I’ve visited in Sri Lanka. Everything was perfectly organised by Kanil. He is very honest and helped me with everything during my stay. His mother cooks delicious food and has the loveliest smile. Their hospitality was outstanding and I would always come back to Kandy even just for staying there.
