Our hosts were the kindest people. I felt like I was at home with my own mum I was so well looked after. We had a delicious breakfast every morning and they even invited us to sit and have a drink with their friends they had over one evening. They provided so much information and helpful advice throughout our stay. This stay is a must if you are looking for somewhere that feels like home.

Great location not far from town centre, bus station, railway station etc. nestled in a leafy area away from the chaos of town. We watched the squirrels and birds from the balcony while eating breakfast. Siraj was a fantastic host. Best pancakes and fruit platter. He was very friendly and helped us answer our questions about Kandy. PickMe and Uber work well here too.

From the moment I set foot in The Grove, I knew I was in for an experience that was unparalleled. Nestled atop a hill, the property exudes a serenity that's hard to find in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The design and architecture are nothing short of stunning - a delightful fusion of modern touches with traditional elegance. Uncle and Aunt, who manage the property, are the heart and soul of The Grove. Their warmth and humility are truly a rarity, making guests feel not just welcome, but like a part of their family. The stories they shared, the laughter that echoed, and the hospitality they extended made my stay unforgettable. The Grove's staff are its unsung heroes. Always wearing a bright smile, they are attentive, efficient, and ever so helpful. Whether you need guidance on local sightseeing or just a chat about life in Kandy, they're there for you, making sure every moment of your stay is comfortable and joyous. The Grove's pièce de résistance has to be its breathtaking swimming pool. Positioned in a way that seems to merge with the horizon, swimming here feels like floating amidst the clouds. Offering views that are second to none, this pool is a slice of paradise where the water mirr Now, let's talk about the breakfast. In a word, it's spectacular. The flavors, the presentation, the freshness – everything was spot on. Waking up to such a scrumptious spread amidst the cool hill breeze and a panoramic view of Kandy's undulating landscapes is a memory I'll cherish for years. Though The Grove is a tad removed from the city's chaos, that's precisely its charm. The tranquil ambiance and the breathtaking hill views serve as a perfect antidote to the frenzied pace of urban life. In conclusion, if there's one place in Kandy where luxury meets nature and warmth meets wonder, it's The Grove. I wholeheartedly recommend staying here; it's worth every penny, and then some.

This stay was lovely. The accommodation was very comfortable with a great view. The hosts were really kind and approachable and helped us get a ticket for the Kandyan dance and he gave some suggestions on where to go in Kandy. Breakfast was really nice and the host was chatty and made us feel very comfortable during our stay.

Marvel Hills exceeded our expectations. What a truly lovely homestay. The owner went out of his way to help us out with luggage storage and extra night there. Location was fabulous as the local bus stop is very close and cheap to use and frequent. We had a room with balcony overlooking Kandy hills. The room was very spacious with kitchenette on balcony and fridge/freezer. The grounds and garden were immaculate. We will be recommending this gem to family and friends and will definitely be back one day soon. 10/10

Extremely comfortable and good value in a great location. This is an amazing old house in a great part of town near the lake. The host has lived here for many decades, and it really feels like an intimate homestay in spite of the several rooms. The room was large and lovely, with a beautiful view over the hillside. It is not luxurious, but really comfortable and full of character, and the included breakfast was very good as well.

I had a fantastic stay at Roo Lanka Homestay Hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. The rooms were spotless, and the hotel is conveniently close to Kandy city, offering a peaceful retreat. The Sri Lankan food was delicious and authentic. Overall, a great experience with warm hospitality, cleanliness, and a perfect location. Highly recommended!

Nestled in the picturesque hills of Kandy, this tranquil homestay is a must-visit destination. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by two exceptional hosts who went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The authentic, plentiful meals they prepared were a true delight. The accommodation itself was elegantly appointed and immaculately clean. Situated on top of a small hill on the edge of the woods, the house lies approximately 2.5 kilometers from the center of Kandy.

The host family was so nice, hospitable and helpful in making sure that we enjoy our stay in Kandy, Mr. Leslie proactively offered tuktuk from railway station for advantageous price and provided a lot of other really valuable advice. Breakfast as well as dinner were rich and tasty. There is a kitchen available for making tea or coffee, as well as drinking water. A lot of common room (dining room, terraces) where one can meet other travellers.
