First, the host, Anoja, was very friendly, and we had a very nice conversation. Second, the place was spotless, felt homey, and it gave me a sense of comfort the second I walked in. The 360 view where you can see the whole city, including Kandy Lake, is unmatchable. Lastly, I was offered a Western or Sri Lankan breakfast but ended up going with a fusion of both, which was excellent on the porch with a little bit of sunlight. I definitely recommend this place.

The house is very nice and everything is very clean. The people are very nice and helpful. The place is located on a hill which means it has a wonderful view onto Kandy. The walk down to the city center is easy and fast. For the way back up, we preferred to use a Tuktuk :) We definitly recommend the accomodation.

We liked everything and following are just things for travellers to consider, but for us it was not problem at all: - it is true that it is up to the steep hill, but that is a price you pay for the beautiful view and you can take always tuk tuk. -The deluxe room is little bit humid, but it might have been caused by lots of rain while we stayed. If you need to dry clothes, you can ask Anoja to put it out for you. -Take earplugs, because at 5:30 you will hear a lot of music from mosque and buddhist temple, but I think that is issue for many places😃 With earplugs the sleep was good😃

The house is amazing, Anoja great and incredibly kind host with big patience. Room was super clean, Anoja was helpful and sweet and she prepared great breakfast combination of western and Sri Lankan. She also found for us driver Tushar with whom we spent 2 days and it was definitely highlight, that we can recommend too 🙂 The room is on the top of their house, but we did not feel unwelcomed or that we would be disturbing anybody, so it was not an issue at all 😊

Nothing. It was amazing.

Amazing stay! We booked the room at the top of the house, on top of the hill, with 360 degree views. It was stunning. Comfortable bed, desk, kettle, tea and coffee making facilities best view from the loo (!) - go! Breakfast was included and Anuja made us traditional delicious Sri Lankan food and beautiful fruit. It is on the top of the hill so yuk yuk up, walk down to Kandy or Big Buddha.

Quite hard to drive to if you have hired your own tuktuk due to the hills - but worth it!!

Beautiful home with large room amazing views of Kandy. We were lucky to catch sunrise (photos) which were breathtaking. Anoja was a super friendly and warm host, ready to make your stay special. She also gave us a lot of recommendations to make sure we got the most out of our short stay in Kandy! Beautiful breakfast in the garden provided.

Not a criticism of the property but if you like to walk in the morning, evening this isn't the place for you. Having said that, the town is a short tuktuk ride away.

Great property if you are looking for peace and quiet. Anuja went out of her way to help. She makes excellent breakfast and has great banter and chat. You won't be bored.

The posting on booking.com mentioned that there's a room with two double beds but unfortunately this is a mistake as there's no such room available. But the host quickly remedied the situation my giving us two separate rooms. However ideally we wanted one room with two beds so this is the only issue we had. If you are a couple or a single person looking for one room (with one bed) then this is the perfect place. However it should be noted that there's no such room with two double beds; so it's better to message the host and verify beforehand if you are unsure.

The host Anoja was extremely nice and we had a very good stay here. The breakfast each day was marvelous, the location is perfect if you are looking for a chill time.

We had a lovely stay at the Views Kandy! The host family was so nice and welcoming. They gave us many ideas what to do in Kandy, organised drivers and met all our needs. The breakfast was lovely arranged in the garden and even through the curfew due to presidential election we got a delicious fresh cooked dinner because all the restaurants were closed. The view from the private balcony of our room over the city was stunning. If we are returning to sri lanka one day, we'll definitely come back to the Views!

Anoja was a fantastic host - nothing was ever too much trouble. The house was beautiful, in amazing surroundings - a peaceful haven outside the busy city centre of Kandy. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. The view from our room was excellent.

Stayed in August 2024

Our hosts were so lovely and kind and the accommodation was spotlessly clean with a very comfortable bed / lovely shower and magnificent views. We arrived after a very long, delayed train ride wishing to find somewhere for dinner and we were touched by the help we received to find somewhere nice. The breakfast was also superb and we left feeling very refreshed. On arrival it seemed the house was quite a long way out of the city centre in a very peaceful location but the following morning we walked into Kandy centre - it didn’t take long and was a nice walk.

Stayed in August 2024

Our stay at the View with Anoja and her family was wonderful. The room is exactly as described online. The view is excellent, the bed is very comfy and the shower is great. The location is also top notch as it allows you to escape the heat and craziness of Kandy city centre. Anoja's house has a great garden and terrace which can be enjoyed at all times. She prepared incredibly delicious breakfasts for us every day, kindly provided tea whenever we asked and helped us navigate the city and organise activities. It is a true homestay, so if you're looking for an impersonal hotel experience, this is not it!

Incredible views overlooking Kandy. Book if you want somewhere quiet and peaceful. Anoja and family are so friendly. I really enjoyed my stay here. It's a tuk tuk into town or about 15mins walk down and up hill. Best place I stayed in Sri Lanka Thank you

That I had to leave :(

The 360º room in the top floor is stunning: breathtaking views of Kandy and surroundings, everything was super clean and modern and great AC. Sunrise and sunset from the room was priceless. The only thing even better than the room and views was Anoja, the lady owning and managing the house. She is the most lovely and charming person I’ve met in Sri Lanka, we chatted for hours and she was really inspiring. She also cooked a delicious breakfast that I enjoyed in the porch! Definitely a great place to stay and rest from the hustle and bustle of Kandy. Don’t doubt to book your stay here because not only you will not regret, but it’ll be one of the best experiences you’ll have in Sri Lanka.

This is an exceptional location.High on a hill overlooking Kandy.The upper floor bedroom has a wonderful panoramic view and is comfortable, spacious and clean. We received a warm welcome from Anoja, a sweet, attentive owner who also provided, at additional cost,an excellent breakfast. "The Views" is to be strongly recommended.

Nothing, all good.

We had a very friendly warm welcome and interesting chats with Anoja. We felt very much at home and well looked after during our stay. Really beautiful house and amazing location with spectacular views.

There was nothing we did not like:) the place is a bit high up in the mountain, so the tuktuks had some difficulties getting up there. But you could walk or get a car to drive you.

Great views, big and clean room, friendly staff.

Stayed in January 2024

The property is high on the hill ( hence the views), but the GPS signal is poor. Suggest you put the location in to your map in advance when you have a good signal, as our sat nav got confused. The owner gave directions, so okay in the end. Suggest you use a Tuk Tuk to go into Kandy and particularly on the return, as it is a steep climb.

The views over Kandy and the area are fantastic. It is very quiet above the city noise. The host was very helpful and pleasant. We chose a Sri Lankan breakfast option, which was very tasty and enjoyable.
