Habitación espaciosa y cama muy cómoda, todo muy limpio. La casa tenía unas vista increíbles desde la terraza, donde sirven el desayuno, que también nos gustó mucho
La ubicación aun que ofrece cosas positivas como mucha tranquilidad y unas buenas vistas, obliga por otra parte a depender de un transporte para todo. Así que dependerá de las necesidades de cada uno.

El lugar es una sorpesa. Aquí no se cuenta que este hotel fue una de las primeras obras de el más reputado de los arquitectos singaleses Geoffrey Bawa. Sigue un estilo minimalista que te acoje en todos los sentidos. Nosotras viajamos sin expectativas y al llegar, ninguna de las fotos le hacía justicia. El único sonido en toda la casa és el de los pájaros y cantos de mantras por al atardecer y al amanecer. Una maravilla que sin duda querré repetir. Sólo diré que cuando llegamos nuestra habitación estaba ocupada por una persona que había realizado reserva para un día y alargó la estancia hasta 6 más. Nos alojaron en la mejor de las estancias por ello, sin duda habríamos alargado nuestra estancia igual que nuestra compañera.
No hay comentarios en contra.

Kamer was heel groot en schoon en het hotel heeft een mooi uitzicht over de stad. Ontzettend aardige en behulpzame eigenaar. Hij regelde voor ons een tuk tuk taxichauffeur die ons de hele dag naar alle highlights van Kandy heeft gebracht voor een leuke prijs. Het ontbijt was ook goed!

Kandy ist laut, bisweilen auch nervig. Deswegen liegt das Buena Vista genau richtig, da es ruhig ist und - wie der Name schon sagt - eine schöne Aussicht hat. Davon lebt das Hotel. Das Frühstück auf der Terrasse war außergewöhnlich gut.
Die tolle Lage hat natürlich seinen Preis. Einfach Mal so in die Stadt ist schon ein Stückchen zu laufen. Im Grunde braucht man immer ein Tuck Tuck.

The view and the accommodation were amazing.
Its a little far from the center, but the view makes this place so special that distance is not a problem.
Really comfy beds
Floor of the shower was smelling weird.

4.0 / 5.0
Great staff who were very attentive and provided invaluable advice on what to do in Kandy.
Room a very good size.
Wifi decent
Breakfast portion very generous, perhaps overly so as we struggled to finish it which felt wasteful
No soundproofing, although outside of city centre room very loud from 5am onwards. Noise from a tanoy somewhere especially prominent, I'd guess it was coming from the train station.
Lots of bugs in the shower tray each day, easy enough to clear by running the water but not very pleasant all the same.
Had better value stays in Sri Lanka
4.0 / 5.0
My mother and I had a really good time at this place. Really quiet a really good place to rest.
The room is big and the bed really comfortable.
The staff take good care of you with a delicious breakfast and organise everything for your to get around Kandy if you need. I highly recommend this place!
Wifi sometimes doesn’t work in the room.

Die gepflegte Hotelanlage liegt erhöht über Kandy, wodurch man von den Zimmern und vom schönen kleinen Garten einen atemberaubenden Blick über Kandy hat, ohne im Grossstadt-Trubel zu sein! Von der City bis zum Hotel sind es c 10min mit dem TukTuk, ich würde nicht empfehlen zu laufen, da es doch recht steil nach oben geht.
Die Zimmer sind riesig, das Badezimmer funktional und ordentlich ausgestattet.
Das Personal ist extrem freundlich und organisiert einem TukTuk für die Stadt und zurück. Insbesondere hervorheben möchte ich Rathnasiri, der mich sowohl ins Restaurant gefahren hat, als auch am nächsten Tag nach Sigiriya. Das besondere an Rathnasiri, er ist nicht nur authentisch freundlich, sondern auch sehr engagiert, auf dem Weg liegende Sehenswürdigkeiten vorzuschlagen, anzufahren und auf mich zu warten, und all das ohne aufdringlich zu sein! Ich hatte zahlreiche TukTuk-Fahrten in Sri Lanka, aber in diesem TukTuk mit Rathnasiri habe ich mich absolut wohl und als Gast gut aufgehoben gefühlt, ohne das Gefühl zu haben , als Tourist nur eine Ware zu sein.
Alles war perfekt
4.0 / 5.0
De locatie was lekker rustig. Comfortabel bed and fijne douche.
Het ontbijt was ronduit karig: taaie oude toast met alleen jam en een eitje. Een stel naast ons kreeg een uitgebreid ontbijt, wat blijkbaar tegen betaling was maar niet aan ons was voorgesteld.
5.0 / 5.0
The views alone were a reason to stay. Clean, comfortable, good breakfast. Was perfect for our night in Kandy.
It’s not walkable into town so a tuk tuk is needed to get back however the views from being high up the mountain make it worth it.

Great accommodation with magnificent view to the city center. The manager was so kind and helpful all the time. The room was clean and cozy. Thank you, we enjoyed our stay!

Rooms were very spacious and clean. Staff was very good. The view is beautiful!
Loc Location is ok. The entry road to go the property is very steep and narrow. Very difficult to travel without a vehicle. Major issue we faced is privacy issues. They have a very very narrow balcony with every rooms which are interconnected. The guest are allowed to use that as a passage to reach their hall and main gate so if one takes a Mountain View then pls be ready to be a loser as with people moving around in the balcony one cannot enjoy their private space and the Mountain View. We had to put the curtains all through. We have given this feedback to the care taker. Guest should use common passage and not balcony passage which disturbs other guests. Very pissed of with this as it was our anniversary trip and instead of having a relaxed holiday we ended up having an experience which is not so pleasant. I am a frequent traveller in booking .com but for the first time I came across such a bad experience. ation is ok. The entry road to go the property is very steep and narrow.

Hospitality, location, service and food. Needless to say it is what it shows in the pictures. We had booked a small double room, but they upgraded to us as there was another bigger room.
Greeted with a welcome drink, and nice conversation. Worth it over all. Let them know if you have a food preferences.
5.0 / 5.0
Our stay here was truly magical because you get to enjoy the most beautiful views of kandy without being right in the busy centre. It’s high up on the hill, so definitely a tuk tuk drive to and from. However we always enjoyed a walk down the hill into the city. The breakfast was the best we’ve experienced in Sri Lanka, with a good mix of both Western and Sri Lankan dishes freshly made. The hospitality you’ll experience truly feels like 5 star service. The Buena Vista is a beautifully built villa and our room was very comfortable, AC was powerful. Would highly recommended staying here for a piece of tranquility in the busy city of Kandy.

Everything. The location and views were outstanding. The bungalow is beautifully designed,furnished and maintained .Mr Punvesh took excellent care of us- made arrangements for a lovely dinner although we arrived late. Really wished we could have spent a couple of days more just relaxing on the balcony with trees all around and panaromic view of Kandy in front. Extremely reasonable rates for such an accommodation and service.
Can't think of anything.

4.5 / 5.0
The level of service, attention to detail, and overall hospitality provided by the staff truly made my visit a memorable one.
From the time we stepped into the hotel, we were warmly greeted. The room we stayed was impeccably clean and to mention, we loved the view from the room which is the main reason for us to choose this place.
Throughout my time at the villa, we noticed that a great care had been taken to maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and comfort. I must also mention the outstanding dining experience we had. It was the best breakfast we could ask for.
Also, we hardly went out of the place, as it was such a peaceful place to stay put. I will not hesitate to recommend Buena Vista to friends and travelers who are seeking a remarkable stay experience in Kandy. I look forward to returning to Buena Vista again.

View was good
Property is not at all maintained by the owner. Full of mosquito and ants. We even found a snake in the WC of the toilet. When asked the staff said it is not venomous. Food is extremely costly, per head 2500/- LKR for dinner, even for small kids.
