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! ✨️

Dananjaya was so good, nothing was too much trouble, there was water available to top up bottles and the breakfast was massive! It was situated just out of the city centre therefore making it nice and quiet at night. Although everything was within easy reach. Huge room with comfy beds, really clean and tidy.

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.

Definitely the best stay we had in Sri Lanka. An idyllic and beautiful place we’ve only seen in the movies so far. The hosts are super lovely and recommended us things to do and places to eat at that are authentic and charge local prices. Definitely drive with the host’s go-to Tuk Tuk driver Gehan. He is super sweet and careful of your safety in Kandy plus you won’t find any cheaper Tuk Tuk anyway. All in all 10/10.

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.

Very nice house with swimming pool, great location outside the city, very quiet. You have to take tuk tuk or bus to go to the city. The host and the family are very helpful, organized for us ticket for Kandy dance and transportation. Very good breakfast.

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.

Simple guest house, but very new with (for this price) good bathroom. Great location, near the lake, 10 min along the lake to the city center, tooth temple and so on. The owners and staff are super friendly young Sri Lankans, who help you with your travel plans and gave me the best tip on how to get reservation tickets for the crowded train to Ela (without using the black market!).

- clean rooms with moskito net and AC and complimentary water bottle. -warm water in the shower -friendly host - nice view from the balkony -the hotel is on a small hill upon Kandy, so it takes about 15min by foot in the city centre, but therefore the area is less crowded and quiet compared to other locations closer to the city
