Lovely balcony view and super spacious room, English-style breakfast was a real treat (since we have been having local style breakfast everyday for a long time), Helpful staff, and we enjoyed the property is a very walkable to the lake. Although the property seems to be high up, actually it is very pleasant for us to walking especially taking a stroll after dinner around the lake …

Sudesh and his family truly embody what hospitality is all about! 🙌 Our first stop in Sri Lanka was Kandy, and I remember calling my family back home to rave about how amazing our host was. From the moment we arrived, Sudesh and his family made us feel incredibly welcome. They were always there for us—whether it was arranging a tuk-tuk (sometimes even for free if someone else was going in the same direction), offering great recommendations, or treating us to a delicious spread of authentic Sri Lankan dishes. Communication was always easy and fast, and Sudesh was available by text or phone call anytime, which really made us feel safe and at ease. The room was so comfortable, the washroom spotless, and the air conditioning worked perfectly—everything was just spot on. But let me tell you about the food! If you stay with Sudesh, *do not* miss the lunch! I can't stress this enough—it was honestly the best meal I've ever had, and I might have gone into a food coma afterward. Sudesh’s mom went above and beyond, making extra dishes just for us, and they were so excited to share their cooking. It felt like visiting family who are eager to spoil you with their best recipes. The complimentary breakfast was also incredible—I've never seen such a generous spread! Unfortunately, we were only able to stay for one night, and I really wish we could have extended our time there. I absolutely recommend staying here if you're in Kandy. It’s peaceful, beautiful, and you'll be taken care of by some of the kindest hosts you could ask for. 100% would stay again!

It was a lovely stay with a very cosy room with great view. It's like staying away from the busy town, but still be only 10min away from it. Perfect experience. The terrace wad great, enjoying the cool evening seeing the lights of Kandy and Sunset. The hospitality was amazing. Thanks so much!
