Offering a garden and inner courtyard view, Mystay is situated in Mawanella, 18 km from Kandy Royal Botanic Gardens and 23 km from Kandy railway station.

I was happy to return to Mystay Homestay to continue exploring Mawanella and to enjoy the neat rooms, lovely meals and wonderful hospitality. 😊 This time the bedroom floor was given a fresh coat of paint. A clothes rack has been added to further the comfort of the guests. Mystay has the best coconut pancake in the world for breakfast. The pancake skin is thin and luxuriously soft with a generous amount of grated coconut in jaggery. The dhal curry is delicately spiced with well-balanced ingredients and is most agreeable with the stomach. 😋 Even the other guest asked for a second helping of the dhal curry. There are now 3 dining areas comprising of 2 open huts and the treetop dining loft which is in popular demand. This time round, the host Prashan brought to a relatively unknown temple Mawela Raja Maha (Kadugannawa) with nearly 2000 years of history and architecture. Though small, the carvings and secluded room of Buddha, and easy walk to this site is worth it.

The best accomodation! Really friendly staff. Everything was clean. Beautiful terace with jungle view. They also provide breakfast/lunch/dinner if you want to. You can do the laundry there. We planned to stay one night, but in the end we stayed for two instead! There is a lot of shops and restaurants nearby, so everything you need is there!

Set within 34 km of Kandy Royal Botanic Gardens and 39 km of Kandy railway station in Pinnawala, Green Land Guest House features accommodation with seating area.

Very clean, good hospitality, large room. Excellent location, which should be promoted! ——— Negatives: facilities: Difficult to initially get hold of owner. Flat screen tv not working, no toiletries (except small bar of soap), no hairdryer, no Wifi: had to request: easily resolved. Electricity/power cut, no generator back up. Noisy wobbly ceiling fan. A/c didn’t switch off: too cold all night (battery of remote control flat?)

Located within 2.8 km of Kandy railway station and 3.5 km of Bogambara Stadium in Kandy, Feel Home offers accommodation with seating area and a kitchen.

The accommodation is a ten-minute tuk-tuk ride out of the hectic city center and is a quiet hideaway. The terrace is magnificent - you have a great view over the city. Everything is very clean and the bathrooms are very spacious. On top there is a big shared living room and kitchen in which you can brew a tea anytime you want. The place is true to its name - Feel Home! Next to the nice accommodation you will get amazing support from the owner. Fazly is very nice and offered us great help to find ourselves around the city - what to do, what to eat, and also how to get around. He even organized us a day trip to the lions rock and we saw several temples on the way (highly recommended). That made our life easy and we enjoyed every bit of our stay.

    We stayed in Mawanella at Mystay for just one night, however we wish we could stay longer! A spacious, comfortable room with multiple areas in the room and outside to relax. Friendly, accommodating host family, made us delicious food, and showed us around town.
