I loved everything about my stay at Hanthana Jungle View HH. The room was spotless, the bed was comfortable and there was a lovely outdoor sitting area to enjoy the serene surroundings. I also enjoyed morning walks up the road. I had spent a few days in the busy city of Kandy and was happy to come here to relax. I loved getting to know the family, who were so welcoming and helpful. I ate both breakfast and dinner there and the food was delicious and plentiful. There is also drinking water, tea and coffee in the shared kitchen so guests could help themselves.

Very clean. Looks brand new. Views amazing, right next to the giant hilltop Buddha statue over Kandy. Which thus an easy walk, up the stairs of the statue for even more amazing view of Kandy. Family very friendly. Included one free tuktuk drop off or pick up per day. Easy to communicate via the son thru whatsapp. The father understands some English & google translate. Easy walk to town in daylight hours. Nice breeze, in mornings i turned off a/ c & open sliding balcony door for cool fresh air, while watching sunrise.

It’s a superb, family-owned place—beautifully decorated with great taste and lots of charm, yet wonderfully quiet. The pool is a big plus, and the hosts were genuinely warm and kind throughout our stay. Breakfast was simple but delicious, and the location is ideal: about a 15-minute walk to Kandy’s busy center for temples, culture, and all the buzz. Truly one of the highlights of our Sri Lanka trip.

Staying at Eye Catch was like being in a beautiful Kandyan aerie with stunning views, birds galore and monkeys too! But what made it most special was our new friend Dayan who works at the property. He took such incredible care to ensure we experienced the best of Kandy! His kindness, attention to detail and knowledge of the city made our visit priceless. He’s awesome! 😄

The house is clean and fresh, a home away from home. Raj is a gem of a man! Knowledgeable and helpful in your needs. You could say he's sweeter than the sweetest tea. 🍵 The location is away from the busy centre which makes for a relaxing retreat. The housekeeper he has is friendly and the breakfast is served with a smile and is finger licking good. If you need anything like you're laundry doing then the team are happy to help. I arrived drained and I left mystified! ✨️

Looking for a guest house?

Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travelers who prefer laid-back accommodations with a personal touch.

It's a very very charming boutique hotel. It has an Italian design. The manager speaks good English and knows what hospitality is. He organised everything for us, was genuine interested and made us feel very welcome. The breakfast is also good. And it's easy in this hotel to also meet other travellers (with families). The views from the hotel are stunning, it's a little bit out of the city center but therefore also nice and quiet.

The lake view and quiet location are delightful in the morning. The guest house thrives primarily due to its two fantastic hosts, who took excellent care of me. Enjoying a beer and discussing politics with them was a warm and welcoming experience. The recommended dance show is truly worth attending, even though the audience is predominantly white.

Our two hosts were remarkably friendly, attentive and helpful. While the accommodation is located on the outskirts of Kandy (and is thus very quiet - a big plus in our opinion), the city centre and all the major sights are easily reachable by tuktuk. Our corner room with a balcony had a beautiful view over the river and the surrounding countryside. The breakfast - especially the fresh fruit - was delicious, varied and more than we could eat.
