I had stayed at one of his places before, and booked this on an emergency, he was very helpful and accommodated all requests even those were last minute requests. I highly recommend the place. Caretaker Selvam was friendly and helpful too. Place is very homely and good to relax and stay in peace. We really enjoyed the stay.

ECO Canal Suite

ShakiraRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Jayathissa's place was big and spacious ands we felt comfortable and at home. The facilities were great and the air-conditioning and fans were especially welcome. It is a short tuktuk ride to the town and restaurants and you can also walk asking the canal and even swim there. Jayathissa was very friendly and helpful and even shared his breakfast with us. His coconut crafts are also very beautiful and we bought some as souvenirs.

Mulberry Cottage, by a stream near Kandy

TuvaRating, 5 stars15 months ago

Just to be clear: this is a simple living type of cottage and the road to get there is tricky (we’d strongly recommend a car with good clearance if you’re coming by car). However, once you get there it is well worth it! The view and tranquility of the place is amazing. Jerry and Sally are super friendly and welcoming and make you feel at home – the door to their neighbouring house (main house) is always open, and you’re welcome to use the pool in their garden, or just hang out and have a chat with them in the living room. They also offer breakfast and dinner (there’s a basic kitchen in the cabin if you want to cook yourself), and this was for us both convenient and very nice – we had some good talks with both Jerry, Sally and their other guests. This was a good starting point for the first (and second) stage of the Pekoe Trail nearby (15/20 min by tuk tuk). We highly recommend!

My entire stay at Edgar Mansion was truly exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the thoughtful attention to detail in the decor. Every corner of the house exuded a sense of elegance and warmth, creating an inviting and aesthetically pleasing atmosphere that made me feel right at home. I would also like to extend my deepest gratitude to Chef Reggie and his talented team. Not only did they prepare extraordinary meals that delighted the senses, but they also went above and beyond to attend to all our needs with genuine care and professionalism. Their dedication truly elevated the entire experience.

Panta-Rhei : Suite ONE

Luca MarieRating, 5 stars1 month ago

The place is incredible and looks exactly like the photos. There‘s a lot of space for two people. The stuff is very friendly and helpful. It is peaceful but you do need a tuktuk to get to the city center because the way is long and the streets are steep. But if you like the nature, this place is made for you.

A spacious bedroom features a large bed with crisp white linens, flanked by two bedside tables. Large windows with yellow curtains provide natural light and offer a view of the surrounding landscape. A neatly rolled towel rests at the foot of the bed.

We booked Cheshan's place in less than 12 hours before arriving. The host quickly replied to our questions. He and the caretaker were very helpful and agreed to take our luggage for storage before checking in. The place itself is lovely and within walkable distance to the center and the lake. The apartment is in the new building with underground parking and a pub nearby. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Highly recommend this apartment for fellow travelers.

Ifti Holiday Home 2

DennisRating, 5 stars75 months ago

Nice place. The Host Iftiquar and his family are super friendly. We enjoyed staying there. He even arranged upon request a scooter with which we drove two days throught the Knuckles. Good place to start Knuckles-Trips because you dont have to drive through Kandy for its located a little outside of Kandy. We felt very welcome all the time and recommend the place.

Sobasee Holiday Bungalow

FlorianRating, 5 stars2 months ago

A great apartment within easy walking distance of the lake and temple. The hosts were super friendly, and the accommodation was very clean—we felt right at home and spontaneously extended our stay! Due to the thin Styrofoam gaps at the top of the walls, we occasionally heard some noise from traffic, monkeys, or between our own rooms. That said, we had no issues with mosquitoes or cold air, and we would happily book another stay with Lakmal and his wife!
