The room was super clean, with large and very comfortable beds. The bathroom was excellent, with its own shower tray and glass screen – not the typical Sri Lankan style where the whole floor gets wet. This made it much more comfortable for us as Europeans. The staff were very friendly, and the breakfast was delicious. The only small point is that to reach the city center you need to take a tuk-tuk, but that was not a problem for us.

The owners are super kind, they helped us in managing different requests. Room had a cozy balcony and the room was clean and comfortable. Delicious homemade breakfast. The swimming pool is definitely a plus. I recommend to stay at Villa Olde Ceylon, if felt like home.

The bed was really comfortable and the bathroom was AMAZING! If you don’t mind a bit of a walk (or cheap tuk tuk) up the hill to the place it’s well worth it.

Hosts made us feel very welcome and at home, we spent quite some time together. The food was delicious, we stayed also for dinner two nights. The property is a little out of center, on a hill, which turned up to be good as the main streets and center are quite dusty and loud. Here is more quiet, but still at the reach. Very well equipped and spacious room.

Staying in this place makes you understand what it means to be in a Sri Lanka guest house, surrounded by kind people who fulfil the whole experience. The house teleports you into a timeless place, excellent to chill and rest from the noise of the city. It has an incredible view. It has an excellent location and is at a walkig distance of many landmarks. Very good internet and hot water is a great plus! [There is a lovely cat living there]

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.
