Featuring a garden, Jaye's Homestay is located in Kandy in the Kandy District region, 1.4 km from Bogambara Stadium and 1.5 km from Kandy City Center Shopping Mall.

We only stayed for a night but this Homestay had everything we needed. Check-in was smooth, the room was clean and spacious with good views. Shower had better pressure than ours at home! WiFi and aircon worked well. The breakfast comes at a small cost but was plentiful and delicious. Really enjoyed chatting with Jaye, he was a wonderful host. Location was only a 5-10 minute walk to Kandy but we preferred staying away from the noise of the city centre. Highly recommend staying here

The view from the balcony was amazing. Only sounds of the jungle. The staff is so friendly, they will help you with everything you need. We travel with a 1,5 year old girl and she also fell in love with the accommodation.

Offering free WiFi and a terrace, Villa Arunalu Kandy is situated in Kandy, 3.1 km from Lakeside Adventist Hospital. Sri Dalada Maligawa is 3.7 km away. Free private parking is available on site.

Our stay in Villa Arunalu was one of pure joy. Its not just an accomodation (fantastic), view from the balcony (stunning), breakfast and dinner (one of the best in the country) - its a whole package including amazing family which runs the place, their obvious passion for what they do, genuine interest in people and sincere desire to help you all the time. We had the most interesting conversations and learned a lot about local medicinal plants. Thank you for the soursop fruit, guys! It was delicios. Keep up with your amazing work! We recommend this place wholeheartedly!

Green View Holiday Resort has a variety of rooms, each with its own private bathroom. Free WiFi is available in the resort’s common areas. Facilities include an outdoor pool and restaurant.

I had a great stay! The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The breakfast was delicious, and I really appreciated the free refillable water, the lovely pool, and that both the air conditioning and hot water worked perfectly. There’s also a laundry service available. The location is very quiet and peaceful—just a bit further from the city center, but definitely worth it for the relaxing atmosphere. Would highly recommend!

    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.

    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.

    The guesthouse is a beautiful house in a great location. You can easily walk towards the centre in less than 15 minutes! the room was comfortable and had a wonderful view. during night its cool and quiet. The owner is very kind and helpful. Breakfast was also very tasty, since he‘s a former chef. :) If you feel lonely, theres always the cat which loves to cuddle. I felt very peaceful and at home, highly recommend!

    The best place to stay in Kandy! The room is spacious and very comfortable, one of the best beds we’ve had in Sri Lanka! Breakfast is delicious. As the accommodation is located outside of the city center, it is very quiet and peaceful. The host is great, he took care of all our pick-ups in and around Kandy and gave great advice.

    Great hostel in Kandy. The staff was very attentive and friendly, kindly looking after us after some of the group fell sick after eating some bad food outside. The room was comfortable and clean, and the property is in a great location within walking distance to the temple and the downtown area.

    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.

    Lovely guesthouse with an absolutely charming and helpful hostess. We were warmly welcomed and felt comfortable right away. The accommodation is a bit outside the city center (about 10-15 minutes by tuktuk), which we really liked because it's peacefully quiet, and the huge balcony offers a wonderful view of the city. We opted to have dinner outside, but there were options available on-site as well. The breakfast was good and plentiful. If you want a short stop in Kandy without staying right in the city, this is the perfect place.
