Smoking friendly vacation rentals in Gampola

eranga and his brother is the best host during our entire stay in sri lanka.view from the balcony is beautiful. room and living room is spacious.rooms are clean

We loved staying so close to nature! We spend almost two weeks here. It’s situated right on the edge of the Udawatta sanctuary, so monkeys visited us quite a few times which was nice to see! It’s not far from the city but when we went food shopping we took the tuktuk back and it cost us around 200 LKR. So if you want something private, calm but also walkable to the centre, this is it. Just mind that it’s close to the forrest and not much light goes in through the trees. But on the other hand the temperature in the apartment was nice due to the location. There’s no need for AC but there’s a fan if you need it. The kitchen has some amenities like rice cooker and smoothie maker. But it could maybe use a bit more cutlery like a new wooden spoon, but things like pan and pots were really good. The WiFi was perfect, no problem with that.

Fazly is truely an exceptional host who went above and beyond throughout our stay. The accomodation was spotless, and those balcony views just stunning. We ate delicious breakfast and dinner made by his wife on the balcony which saved us having to go out. We were really made to feel at home, more than any Airbnb previously visited. 10 out of 10, if you are visiting Kandy look nowhere else.

I stayed at Riverside for 3 weeks and it was a great stay. The apartment is situated a few km out of Kandy in a small village, which is great as you get to experience real Sri Lankan life, I found the villagers very friendly, often stopping to chat to me. The bus to Kandy is just 10 mins walk away. The apartment is lovely, very spacious and with a wonderful large balcony perfect for eating and working. There's an outside plug so you can plug in your laptop. Hiran and family are lovely, Hiran is happy to help with any problems and the breakfast cooked by his wife is delicious and different most days. I'd definitely recommend this apartment and I'd stay again also being a solo woman traveller I felt safe at all times.

Stay here if you: 1. Want to stay with polite and helpful host 2. Want a well-equipped place to stay - large room, 2 beds and bathroom 3. Want a safe neighbourhood Mr. Dilan's place is nice and comfortable. The accommodation is on the 2nd floor with separate entrance. It has a little unconventional layout - the entrance is through the kitchen and the large room and bathroom are on either sides. All equipment were functional and spaces were clean. The room is large and comfortable. The house is in a quiet residential area and surrounded by mango and avocado trees :) You also get a good view of the sunset from the balcony. There is a walkie-talkie available for you to interact with Mr. Dayan, the host's representative. He is very helpful, polite. He and Mr. Dilan helped us place a food delivery order - may look like a small gesture but a big help when your app doesn't work at night! Overall, we had a happy stay at this place.

Thank you Prasad for having us at your beautiful house. It was a pleasure working with Prasad. He was always responsive and was easy to communicate with. He made sure we felt at home and all our needs are met. The house is beautiful and spacious. The security was also very nice and helpful. If you’re looking for a safe and cozy place, this is it. I would recommend this house anytime. Thank you Prasad for everything.

We rented this place for 2 weeks and it was amazing. Hosts were really helpful and friendly. Place is very clean and all interior and furnitures were very comfortable. Situated in a very clam place perfect for long holiday with family

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!

We really enjoy their it’s more feel like home. We stayed there for two day but it’s very peaceful and beautiful house even we mention this villa on our YouTube channel as well you can check on privitravels my wife love to shoot that place… they are not ready to leave the villa because of that calmness and beauty… thanks to owner he is very nice person who gave his place to experience the beautiful villa in Kandy. We love it ✌️😊

A great stay in Kandy. About 20 minutes walk from the lake and about 10-15 minutes to the city. Very lovely and nice hosts :) and a super delicious breakfast! For tips in the area, the super nice manager Nimal is on hand and the housekeeper who lives in the house tries to make everything possible to make you feel at home. Thanks very much! Stuti! I'm sure we'll be back if we visit Sri Lanka again. Best regards from the whole family :)

The apartment is really beautyful, well equipped, clean and comfortable. Located in a very rural neighbourhood, yet really close to Kandy it's a good base for exploring the city. Drivers beware that you need strong nerves to get the car into the Garage on a very steep slope.

Clarence's place is just wonderful! It is very spacious, airy, light, comfy and beautiful. All our family enjoyed staying at Clarence. He is a great host, always responding quick and making the best to please his guests. The other members of Clarence's family must be mentioned too. They all are very polite, friendly and hospitable. The balcony, which better be called a terrace, is huge and the view is stunning. Everything is great, highly recommended for families and people who prefer tranquility over a busy city. To call a taxi we used "pick me" app. It is very cheap and useful.

We had a really nice experience in this AirBnB. The owner and his brother were really kind and helpful! It’s even bigger than on the photos and has a nice view and very calm. You should know that there can be some insects like ants or mosquitos since it is directly surrounded by nature, which was no problem for us :)

Hashitha was a perfect host. Check in was quick and professional, but also personable. My host was in easy reach, if needed, but I was allowed my privacy. The whole experience was brilliantly enhanced, by being able to sit on the veranda and take in the fabulous gardens. All in all an experience to hold fond memories of.

The place is very spacious, clean and not to forget the amazing, expansive view. The Garden area is refreshing. The best part of the stay has to be the Host Achala and his lovely family. They made us feel at home, helped us with all our queries, and took care of all our needs. It was an unforgettable stay. Will definitely come back

Lovely hosts, a clean and comfortable room, and a great location. Felt like a home away from home. Would definitely return!

Beautiful place. A bit older than expected but nice. did not like the installed videocamera that covers the kitchenarea...

Spacious, clean flat with a balcony overlooking the river and some lovely furnishings and art work. Responsive host and lovely caretaker. We especially appreciated the assistance with transport to Kandy from the airport, the solid breakfast, and the late checkout. Within tuk tuk distance but mercifully removed from the hustle and bustle of the city center.
