The real value of this lodge is the staff, really helpful and kind. The room was spacious, clean and the terrace really nice. We had a great Sri Lankan breakfast, but also continental option is available. The staff helped us to plan our trips around Kandy and points of interest nearby.

From arrival the hosts were super friendly - we were given a cold orange juice to sip on balcony with a beautiful view of Kandy. Our room was clean and bed very comfy (with lots of pillows and duvet and AC in room), bathroom was also nice and had soap/toilet roll! The breakfast in the morning was delicious - highly recommend getting if you stay (Sri lankan food and fruit / tea & coffee). The owner also drove us in tuk tuk to train station next day. Great price and a beautiful view from the location, with some really nice restaurants nearby

This place was such a treat! it felt good to be here and I felt cared for by the host. I loved the chilling area with the bean bags, I spent a lot of time there. The atmosphere is super pleasant. Maybe I was just lucky, but during my 4 days, mostly considerate and friendly people stayed here.

Very clean and new! Very big room with balcony and almost 360 view just from the room! You can literally see both sunrise and sunset! And there is a rooftop with tables and chairs. And monkeys sometimes. Great shower! Hot water, good water pressure! Very big and comfortable bed! There are AC and fan! There is kitchen because the owner lives here as well. He is very kind and always seems happy. He would message me to let me know when the monkeys come to the house 😂 He also offered washing machine for me to use because I stayed them for 4 nights! Location is out of busy town center, but only 10 min by tuktuk within 300lkr. Or you can also walk 5 min down the street to catch the local bus for 30lkr. There is a good restaurant “the chef corner” just 2min walk and the food there is really good! Next to it there is a fruit store and a bakery. Very convenient. I also found an Ayurvedic doctor in the area and got a massage. If you are going to Sigiriya by car, you don’t need to go through town.

I had an incredible experience staying here. The host and his family were absolutely amazing—so warm, friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout my stay. They went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable and well taken care of. One of the highlights of my stay was the delicious Sri Lankan food they served. Each meal was a delightful culinary journey, full of authentic flavors and prepared with so much care. The rooms were cozy and comfortable, providing the perfect retreat after a day of exploring. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully arranged, making my stay even more enjoyable. Overall, I absolutely loved my time here and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a welcoming, home-like atmosphere with exceptional service and fantastic food. Can’t wait to return!

The house is like a flower vase, surrounded by a beautiful garden, which is maintained adorably by the owner. Architecture and interior inside the house is something amazing. The serenity, specially if u seat quietly in the balcony at night, is mesmerizing. The owner is very welcoming and cordial. Breakfast was good too.

I extremely recommend this place. The rooms were clean and the food was so tasty. The owner Sandy super friendly and helpful with everything you need. She helped us to find a TukTuk for really early in the morning although there was elections and more important she had some private issues, I hope this was not our last time at Kandy Living Villa & Homestay.

Of all the locations in Kandy, this hotel is fantastic. A tiny walk from the entrance to the Temple of the Tooth makes it ideal for a tourist stay. Very affordable. Rooms are small. Kind Sri Lankan service as was experienced throughout the whole country.
