We liked the owners, very warm people, maybe even a bit shy but very eager to help with everything extra we needed. The rooms were very big, clean and quite modern. The location is a 5 min tuktuk drive from center, which is actually a good thing, cause the center is very crowded and noisy. Good value for money, would definitely recommend.

This pristine two-story house is very spacious with a flight of stairs leading to the bath, bedroom and sitting area. The ceiling fan was adequate on most nights. The bedding is very clean and the bed comfortable. The large kitchen has everything you'll need to prepare meals. The location is in the town of Kundasale, a quiet, residential area, about a 20 minute drive to Kandy, depending on the traffic. There are an assortment of shops and restaurants about a 10-minute walk from the house. There are tuk tuk transport drivers available near the main road. Buddhi is the consummate host taking great care in giving excellent recommendations in Kandy and Kundasale. You'll be safe and in good hands at Liv House. I highly recommend this property.

Oh wow, wjere do i even start! This gem of a villa is hidden through the tea fields of Hanthana, super close to Kandy. Sanjaya, the host, has done an amazing job in building this villa and does an even better job at being the nicest host ever. He welcomed us, gave us a lift with his own car a couole of times and even brought us breakfast twice and lunch once. 10/10 experience, would def come back!

Loved the space! Great living room and the bedrooms were clean and comfortable. The balcony was also great. The hosts were lovely and we paid extra for the breakfast which was delicious and totally worth it. We also liked that it was a little outside the main area of town- very quiet!

We had such a wonderful time during our stay, and that is entirely thanks to the incredible hospitality of Sadaruwan. He was extremely kind, helpful, and attentive throughout our visit. He always went out of his way to ensure we had everything we needed, offering great local advice and making us feel truly welcome, like family. If you are looking for a place where you will be treated with genuine warmth and kindness, look no further. Sadaruwan is an absolute gem! Thank you so much for everything!

This hostel was really great and beautiful. The staff is really nice and helpful. They organise a lot of activities. I had a really great time here. A bit outside of the town but with a tuk-tuk, it was easy to go to the city.

Of all the locations in Kandy, this hotel is fantastic. A tiny walk from the entrance to the Temple of the Tooth makes it ideal for a tourist stay. Very affordable. Rooms are small. Kind Sri Lankan service as was experienced throughout the whole country.

I wanted to let you know that a very tasteful entrance which led down to the room we had booked. I would like to add this was the last room they had which was a budget room with twin beds. The room was spotless, breakfast was amazing and the staff were very attentive. Wonderful gardens in a quiet location
