This felt like the perfect place to rest in busy Kandy. Even though it’s slightly far from the center, it’s super easy (and cheap) to access by bus or tuktuk. The room was super comfortable, good shower (above average), free laundry (amazing) and a kitchen very well equipped, with some books available as well. Yama is very nice and helpful! Really recommend this place

We were welcomed with a very delicious welcome drink (best juice I had so far one the whole trip!). The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The family were very friendly and helpful. Over the delicious breakfast we always had a chance to engage in a great conversation with the host and get some tips / recommendation. The host was also quick to reply to messages. The breakfast itself as said was delicious and best about it there was variation not always the same! We were also given the option to book dinner. The garden was lovely too sit in, to just have a moment to relax. The guest house is a bit out of town, however, when you book a Tuk Tuk via one of the apps it was only 350 Rupees to town (as of Jan 25) so really nothing to comment about ;)

Edwin was an exceptional host! He was incredibly thoughtful, especially with our infant, and ensured milk was arranged in advance as requested. He provided excellent guidance on activities to do in Kandy, making our trip even more enjoyable. The breakfast was delightful, offering us a wonderful introduction to Sri Lankan cuisine. The property itself is charming, with a lovely garden that attracts adorable birds and squirrels, adding a touch of magic to the day. Edwin was highly responsive and quick to address any concerns, ensuring our stay was both comfortable and memorable.

  • The Change Hotel

    Guest House in Kandy
    Avg. price/night: US$60.50
    Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.9
    Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 113 reviews
    It's a very very charming boutique hotel. It has an Italian design. The manager speaks good English and knows what hospitality is. He organised everything for us, was genuine interested and made us feel very welcome. The breakfast is also good. And it's easy in this hotel to also meet other travellers (with families). The views from the hotel are stunning, it's a little bit out of the city center but therefore also nice and quiet.

    Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 329 reviews
    The lake view and quiet location are delightful in the morning. The guest house thrives primarily due to its two fantastic hosts, who took excellent care of me. Enjoying a beer and discussing politics with them was a warm and welcoming experience. The recommended dance show is truly worth attending, even though the audience is predominantly white.

  • Villa Arunalu Kandy

    Guest House in Kandy
    Avg. price/night: US$80.64
    Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.7
    Exceptional - What previous guests thought, 218 reviews
    Our two hosts were remarkably friendly, attentive and helpful. While the accommodation is located on the outskirts of Kandy (and is thus very quiet - a big plus in our opinion), the city centre and all the major sights are easily reachable by tuktuk. Our corner room with a balcony had a beautiful view over the river and the surrounding countryside. The breakfast - especially the fresh fruit - was delicious, varied and more than we could eat.
