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?)

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!

    Couldn't recommend enough. This is a wonderful Home Stay with the most welcoming family. We felt right at home. We were welcomed with tea and the onsite bar was a lovely touch. The host was so helpful and would be a great guide for any tourist experiences. The chalet had everything we needed and was very comfortable. We had breakfast dinner and part took in a cooking class. Wonderful time, wonderful family. Must stay

    Discover the hidden gems of Mawanella through the warm hospitality of Anushka and his lovely family at their enchanting homestay 🌿 This place is so wonderful I extended my stay and will definitely be back! Everything was perfect, the food was delicious, the hospitality, the room, the pool to cool down on a hot day, great location making it easy to go to other parts and also lovely to just sit and relax surrounded by nature reading a book or writing. Plus, Anushka really knows the island and is a great tour guide!

    This boutique hotel has an amazing history, it used to be a private residence 100 years ago. Most of the flooring tiles are original, the place has been beautifully restored, the rooms are incredible and very cozy, their beds are comfortable. I don't want to give away the story behind the beauty of this building but do stay there and ask them for a little tour around. It's absolutely fantastic.

    Absolutly a place to visit when you are looking for the real SL life. The homestay is running by lovely family. Hospitality is great. Prashan took us to the waterfal, the Bible Rock, elephants where we were almost alone. Local food dishes were served at the tree house. The bathroom is like a jungle. Go there!!
