Unser bestes Homestay auf Sri Lanka

Reviewed By RedHead2017

Wir waren als Familie bei Siraja und Ihrem Mann ca. eine Woche Gäste und haben sie ins Herz geschlossen. Zusammen Sylvester feiern, kochen, reden... Es war wie in der Familie zu sein, Siraya hat so lecker für uns gekocht und sich wie Mama um uns gekümmert. Die Zimmer waren hell und sauber, die Lage schön: abseits von Stadttrübel und mit Tuk-Tuk in 5-10 Min in der Stadt. Wärmste Emfehlung von uns!

Great view and kitchen, but bathroom issues

Reviewed By Unamiga

We have spent one night here during our weekend trip to Kandy. The best about this hotel is good kitchen with European food (beef steak for example was good) and a restaurant on the top with stunning view. Room had AC and beds were comfortable. However, in the bathroom there is no wall or curtain on the shower, so water is all around the bathroom, and also in the morning there were no hot water. And in the middle of the night we were woken because of loud sound the pipes make - they seem to be old. Anyways I would still recommend for a short stay on weekend if you only need to sleep one night and leave it is good value for its price I think.

A decent and quiet stay in Kandy, value for money!

Reviewed By Cheernee

The host and staff were friendly and accommodating. We booked a twin room and a triple room. The triple room is big with lots of window. However, both rooms are without air-conditioning. The host was kind enough to offer an extra fan in our rooms. The guesthouse is about 10-minute walk to Kandy lake and 15 -20 minutes walk to the nearest shopping area. The host offers day trips and excursion with in-house driver at reasonable rate. The driver they recommended is the best driver we met throughout our whole trip in Sri Lanka. He stopped for us to take pictures as requested and brought us to a local restaurant for lunch. He even helped us to order local food. He is a bonus to our trip!
