We didn't have a good experience. I don't recommend it and it's not worth the price.

The breakfast was good and the staff was friendly

The place is close to the center, but we had an hard time getting there with our own tuktuk because it is at the top of a very steep street. The biggest problem we had was related to the cleaning and maintenance of the bathroom: As soon as we entered the room we noticed that there was a dirty towel on the floor (see photo). We placed the towel in front of the room door and notified reception, but it was not removed until our check out the next day. The bathroom situation was horrible: it had a bad smell, the shower doors were broken, the ceiling was sagging and had several mold stains, the main light had so many cobwebs that it looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months, the shower was clogged and without pressure. The sheets had a smell and we found hair on the pillowcases. There was a large broken lamp inside the closet that made it impossible for us to store our things inside.

We had a 6 day tour in the country and this is the best place we stayed.

Cleanliness is at its best and the service is exceptional. Room and the balcony is very spacious. This is one of the best examples of Sri Lanka’s famous hospitality. Jungle view from the balcony is relaxing and the internal artistic atmosphere is generating a calm vibe.

Loved my stay here, very wholesome experience with very hospitable

I loved my stay here, comfy beds and spacious rooms and a really nice “family feel.” The breakfast was absolutely amazing and the staff could not have been more hospitable and helpful!

There were only two showers and one toilet for 8 people and there was tons of ants in one of the showers

Great hostel with a beautiful view

A very nice and lovely host. beds were decent to sleep. staff was really good and they make really good food at kitchen. View from outside was really nice in morning/evening

The hostel is situated at an elevated location, and far from convenience stores. bit difficult to get on foot. but tuktuk are available via PickMe/Uber. could use some cleanings to remove spiderwebs off the beds.

great view, very, very unclean

The downstairs area is excellent - welcoming & friendly. Clean bathroom & toilet facilities. breakfast food was great & generous serves.

The bedroom was filthy. Disgustingly dirty: saw a cockroach run across the floor as I walked in, pillows smelt of people, fingerprints all over the mirror, the toilet was unclean, shower filthy with no shampoo/soap etc, floor was gritty & the worst part was that the roof was full of black mould. I understand the humidity would have an impact on this, however I believe cleaning it & spraying it would do it justice. The fan was super loud, so couldn’t use it- the AC didn’t work, the bed sheets had marks all over them. I wonder if they were cleaned at all after the last person slept in it. mattress had a big burn-mark in it. plus- the foyer was very loud & echo-ey. I wonder if other rooms were as bad, or if I coped it badly.

I did not enjoy this accommodation

I mostly stayed in dorm rooms, but I decided to take a private room to take a good rest. The room was overall dirty. Many hairs in the shower, in the sheets, on the pillow and on the bed. Shower was broken and the bathroom was just dirty. I told this to the staff and I wanted my money back and leave as I just arrived. However he suggested that I moved rooms. The other room was with less hairs, however there were still human hairs in the bed. And also this bathroom was not clean.

Solo female traveler's feedback: The staff and owner of this hostel really make the place. I thoroughly appreciated the owner taking the time to give me very useful information regarding my stay in Kandy and even for the rest of my trip in Sri Lanka. He was even able to give me his honest feedback when I was given a price for a trip or an activity within the city. He is a kind, caring person with a lively personality, that will make you smile and feel at ease. The staff is also very diligent and always ready to make you feel confortable. Real hard workers, I have a lot of respect for them. They also serve big, yummy breakfast and good food throughout the day. The hostel is a nice building, close to city center (it's a 3 minutes tuk-tuk ride) but outside of the hustle and bustle. Quiet place, beautiful view. Bathrooms is alright, room was spacious. Definitely recommend this place with pleasure!

The wooden beds are a bit dusty, but I did not feel like the place was dirty per say, overall.

The staff was extremely kind and helpful, they really care about you having a good stay! The place is located in the hills above and outside the inner city which is a good thing because Kandy can be noisy and smelly. The food prepared in their kitchen was good.

It could be cleaner. I stayed in the dorm room and the floor wasn't clean (dust/sand), the stairs leading up to the room also haven't been cleaned in a while. Bathroom was clean, but the tea sometimes had insects in it and a bottle of water which I got from the kitchen was full of insects too. Bottom line: in general hygiene could be better (but it wasn't off-putting either).

The place is far from the busy part of the city. I had to check out really early to catch the train, but the host managed to make me an amazing breakfast anyway.

Hight of the area, exhausted to clime there. Not even every tuk tuk can make it :)
