The view from the terrace and the food which can be ordered separately. Lady of this house should open a restaurant with fine Sri Lankan food. Honestly I’ve been in Sri Lankan for three months and her food was mind blowing.
Lack of AC in the bedroom, but the fan was okay. Internet was acting out a bit and not working in the room.

The owners Shiva & Ayesha are amazing, super friendly, funny and welcoming. They told us a lot about Sri Lanka and their traditions. Ayesha cooks the best food we had in Sri Lanka, don’t miss dinner and breakfast :) The room was very clean and modern and the view from the balcony was outstanding. It’s a beautiful place near by Kandy, where you can relax. Very unique and 10 out of 10 (!)
Nothing.

The owners are very very kind and helpful (and speak good English!), they allowed us to check in early, greeted with sweets and tea and helped with the train tickets. The place has an amazing view and the hot water works fine. I recommend getting a dinner with them (also because there is nothing else really in vicinity) because it was delicious and plenty.
It’s a bit hard to reach on foot (possible but along a busy road).
5.0
The view from the room is very peaceful and greenery. The room is spacious, even the sofa was fit in. I would like to thank for the hair dryer. Not everywhere in Sri Lanka I had it.
The bed is big and comfortable with a removable anti mosquito net.
There was also a kettle to make our own tea and coffee.
Shower with good pressure and hot water.
The owners are super friendly and welcoming. We had a very interesting conversation and found out many details about life in Sri Lanka.
For those who travel by car: we could park our car on property’s territory. No problem with a road to the house neither.
The dinner is home made and served with lots of local sweets. Very tasty and plenty, we couldn’t even finish all. It costs around 7$ per person.
In the morning we were served tea and my husband received a special medial help as he had some cough during the night. Thank you for your hospitality!
Maybe the price is a bit high. But I didn’t really compare with other hotels in Kandy. We found this home stay very fast, 1 day in advance.

Хозяева! Очень душевные!
Сам гостевой дом чистый, номер просторный и светлый. Завтраки просто как шведский стол! Хотите шри ланкийский - будет остренько, хотите английский- там и тосты и яйца и панкейки. Все очень вкусно. Шива - хозяин дома угостил мужа пивом) Очень много и душевно болтали с ними за ужинами. Ужинать в отеле, т.к. рядом (да и вообще в Канди) негде нормально покушать. Ну нет вкусных кафе. Один раз ходили в кафе Огненная тарелка чтоли называется, так ждали там в очереди, чтоб за стол сесть. От стола воняет грязными тряпками. В общем не советуем. Отель расположен достаточно далеко от Канди, но нам это было на руку, т.к. мы хотели посетить всего 2 места - Королевский Ботанический сад и Башню Амбулувава. И обе достопримечательности находятся недалеко от отеля. Так что советую 100 % этот гостевой дом!
Не было горячей воды. Ну она была, но не горячая, а теплая. Но это проблема всей Шри Ланки. Поэтому мы отнеслись к этому спокойно и с пониманием.

Ayesha and her husband are very hospitable and make you feel at home. They serve delicious home made food and the house has the amazing views of the wild forest
The house is around 1 km away but Ayesha's husband drove us to the supermarket for grocery shopping

It was just incredible.From the warm welcome to the house itself to the food the night the drinks....a one of a kind homestay experience!
Aysha and Shiva are the loveliest people we had the honor to meet on our whole trip.
On top of that the food was just beyond our expectations.
Incredible!
We would have stayed a week but I dont think our fitness coach would approve 😂😂😂 Again thank you Aysha and Shiva for everything!😘
I didnt like that we didnt stay longer!

I wish I could rate this higher! This place is the most gorgeous place we have ever stayed in. From the second we arrived we were welcomed by the loveliest hosts Shiva and Ayesha! They treated us like we were their family, and welcomed us with the tastiest passionfruit juice on the incredible balcony with the most gorgeous views. We only stayed for 1 night but wish we could have stayed for many more. We were on our honeymoon and Ayesha decorated the whole room with flower petals, candles and a gorgeous towel decoration, we were so overwhelmed with their dedication and commitment to making our stay so memorable. They gave us a tour of the rest of the building and it is just stunning, cannot wait to see the upstairs finished. This holiday home is just breathtaking and we couldn’t stop staring at the view, waking up to the views out of our own balcony was insane. The small touches like offering to take us to locations, the offer of dinner (which after breakfast we wish we had), fantastic recommendations of things to do in Kandy that we definitely would have missed and even having medicine when my husband felt a bit poorly and bite cream! They supplied binoculars which made my husbands day as he loves watching wildlife and birds!
We stayed up talking and chilling with the amazing hosts on the balcony for a lot of the evening, they honestly couldn’t have made us feel more welcome than they did. The bed was extremely comfortable with a mosquito net and a fan provided. Tea and Coffee were offered constantly and they genuinely couldn’t be more inviting. We woke up to an incredible spread for breakfast, hoppers, coconut filled pancakes, chicken, dahl, eggs, chapatis, selection of fruits, teas and coffees. We were so impressed that we didn’t want to leave. The location is a little out from Kandy, but the views and area is absolutely worth it! Thank you Ayesha and Shiva- we cannot wait to see you guys in the near future.
absolutely nothing!

the hosts were very welcoming, we came late at 10 pm and they served us with tea in the evening and we had to go really early next day and hosts served us a great sri lankan breakfast. It was so calm there and cool at night so you don’t need any AC in this area.

This was my soul hospital. Shiva and Ayesha are incredibly kind and accommodating hosts. I felt genuinely cared for.
I lived in a corner room with large panoramic windows and a spacious shower room. Hot water was always there, the pressure was good. You will have a mosquito net and drinking water. Any need you have will be fulfilled. The common area has a balcony with a great view where you can sit to work or have a cozy chat with the hosts and guests, or just enjoy the beautiful scenery. Ayesha is an amazing cook! My best meals in Sri Lanka. Shiva took me on a tour and told me a lot about Sri Lanka and its people. I am very grateful and happy to have met such wonderful people, it really warms my heart.
I would love to come back next time with my husband and stay longer! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

The most welcoming hosts you will ever meet! Other than that: clean room, a stunning view and a great dinner and breakfast. They went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and helped us by buying the last train tickets to Ella. We were lucky to stay here.
Can’t think of anything! It was very good.

Perfect little place to start our train journey to Ella. Ayesha was lovely, and her husband. They went above and beyond to help us with anything we needed, her husband even organised our train ticket for us and ayesha dropped us to the station in the morning. The house is beautiful, so peaceful. Comfiest bed we had during all of our travels. Ayesha cooked us a lovely breakfast the morning we left, she gave us so much food we couldn’t eat it all. Thanks for having us ❤️
