Kan̆du

Very comfortable bed Clean room Hot shower Breakfast was okay Owner was very nice and let us borrow his umbrella and also arranged taxi for us Good WiFi Bottle of water in the room when we arrived

On checkout, paying for the accommodation (including breakfast) he also charged us a service charge for the breakfast. We have only booked accommodation including breakfast during our month in Sri Lanka and haven’t had this ANYWHERE. It wasn’t much, but we were leaving Sri Lanka after checking out and only had the amount of money we needed for payment of accommodation and taxi, the 1,500 service charge was going to be tip for our taxi man but sure then we had no cash for him. And he seemed to linger for a tip after dropping us. While I appreciate and seen in a lot of restaurants etc that service charge is a thing, when you’re paying already for breakfast in your accommodation price it feels weird to be then essentially made give a tip on checkout

Very good breakfast with good food and good service

I like tea pot egg appam

Очень приятный хозяин. Все чисто и аккуратно, наконец-то впервые за путешествие по Индии и Шри-Ланке в бюджетных местах полноценная огражденная душевая, а не одно сплошное помещение 😄

Aardige eigenaar die alles goed uitlegde en tips gaf wat te zien in de stad. Rustige omgeving in een drukke stad. Ontbijt was lekker en uitgebreid!

The staff’s kindness. Location. Bedroom.

Nothing

L emplacement car en dehors de kandy mais pas loin non plus pour les visites. Au calme

Peut être la douche a revoir

Yataklar rahat, oda geniş, banyo tuvalet temiz ve bakımlı. Personel yardımcı ve güleryüzlü, otel sahibi çok ilgili. Güvenlikli bir otel

Cheap and Good.

Difficult to find the accommodation.

So gross war die Wohnung zu viert, dass wir gerade jubelten nach den Unterkünften in einem Zimmer! Wir konnten uns wiedermal nen Film gönnen. Klimaanlage, Dusche mit Durchlauferwärmer, gute Betten… alles war tipptopp! Wir waren in etwa zwanzig Minuten zu Fuss in Kandy! Der Gastgeber war ein feiner lieber Chef und das Morgenessen war wunderbar!!!

Really nice staff, felt like coming home.

Nothing

There’s nothing to like about this place.

Bed is not comfortable, toilet smells so bad, cockroaches comes out of the drain, dirty mats, AC in the room was not working. we asked to fix the AC and the owner Mr Vickram said he will send someone to fix the next day, no one came and we asked again, and he said he forgot, he will send the next day. This wasn’t fixed during our stay. We booked this place ‘kandu’ for 9 nights starting from 25th April to 4th May. Yet we came from Colombo on 28th evening. We had no issue in paying for the 9 nights we booked. Breakfast was optional and we didnt choose breakfast when we did the booking. But when we arrived the place the owner Mr Vickram asked if we want the breakfast and we agreed. We had breakfast from 29th April to 2nd May total 4 days. As Breakfast was not worth the amount we had to pay, we decided not to have breakfast for the last 2 days of our stay (which is 3rd and 4th May) so we informed Mr. Vickram on 2nd evening around 1800hrs. The funny thing is we were charged for 8 days for breakfast, when we only stayed this place for 6 days. And he offered us to take to see some places in kandy in his car, as he was free and at the end we were charged 5000Rs which he didn’t mention beforehand. He dropped us to a buffet restaurant for lunch which cost 6000Rs for 2. And mentioned us to taking to gem stores which we rejected. And he was not happy about it. He always starts his conversation saying he is not a money minded person, but this whole experience tells a-lot about this person. Before check out we mentioned about these extra charges he started to blabbering and as he is an old man we didn’t want to argue or to do so. We did our part we paid the amount he billed. But this is not how you give services to your guests. Be more hospitable! WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!

Nice spacious room with air con and yummy breakfast

Its a little far from the centre and many of the attractions tho you can walk all the way along Kandy lake to get there and its a nice walk

This was the best place we have stayed so far on our Sri Lanka trip. Vicki was very helpful and even drove us into town and told us how to avoid traffic when going to attractions. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. It is walking distance to all the attractions in town but is quiet for sleeping.

The host lives in the house with his caretaker. We stayed in the 2 bedroom family suite which has a living room but the place was not clean at all. I had to ask them to clean the bathroom as there were hairs and mold in the shower but found out later there was more hair next to the toilet. Even the caretaker came to clean but didn't do a good job. It felt like an abandoned room with dust and spiderwebs everywhere. It seemed like it wasn't cleaned before we checked in. There were many foot mats that looked like never cleaned before. I had high expectations because of its high ratings, but the only good thing about the place is the size and the location.

It’s a luxurious villa with good price, the owner is enthusiastic and friendly.

Host went out of his way for us and was very lovely. Picked us up from the train station and booked transport for us. The house was a lovely style and nice location. Breakfast was great. Host, Viki (not sure of spelling sorry), couldn’t do enough for us.

Shower not very clean, and lots of dust under the bed. But host open to feedback and was receptive and wants to improve on this. Kitchenette in the family room could use a clean and some utensils and crockery like cups and spoons ☺️

Viki, the owner, was incredibly helpful and welcoming. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and stylishly modern, offering excellent value for money. Nestled in a peaceful location, it provided the perfect balance of comfort and convenience.

the house is so beautiful, and the room is big and comfortable. We enjoyed the view of the balcony. The host is very friendly and welcoming, we talked a lot. the breakfast was also great

The host was so nice!

The owner is really friendly. The property was so far the best we stayed in (it’s better than on the pictures). It was really clean. Good value for money. The property is located near the lake, we walked to all the famous attractions.

Very nice host! Nice and Spacious rooms. Especially nice was the room With the balcony.

Everything was Good.

We really enjoyed our stay. Quiet location, nice owner who allowed us to check in even if we arrived late Gives tips for the stay

Laundry service could be improved

It was such a good experience. Super clean and comfortable room. The best host you can imagine.

Everything was great.

The host and his kindness.

Entering was great.

Really excellent host and place. Many thanks for all your support and it is pleasure to meet you.

Nothing

Everything was super, rooms are very clean and we were a group of 6 that took the house so we felt like home. The owner is so helpful and staff are friendly

It is on a steep hill but close to the main street that we used to walk

The room was spacious, well-ventilated, and had all the amenities we needed. The caretaker was super nice—he even greeted us with a welcome drink when we arrived, and we really enjoyed chatting with him. The location is fantastic, very close to Kandy Lake and other key spots, which made commuting super easy.

The checkout experience was a bit upsetting. We witnessed a heated argument between the property owner and the caretaker. The owner lost his temper and started shouting at both our cab driver and the caretaker because the cab was parked at the entrance when he returned from his morning walk. While the owner was friendly to us during our stay, this incident left us feeling a bit insulted and left a bad impression about him and the property. Other than that, the stay was smooth and enjoyable.

We highly recommend this place. Quiet neighbour, close to the city center. Breakfest was very good, staff and owner very kind and helpfull.

WiFi not working in our room

Very welcoming rooms were nice clean and comfortable

Nothing

Workers are very helpful

Walls are thin and voices are easily heard

Hot water, fresh bed sheets and additional blankets, water supply, breakfast, Big room

Parking - to use it we had to always bother the owner to open/close the gate, no mosquito net - there were mosquitos but we were told there is none, the key to our Room was not working

Best location, v convenient

The agreed one was the family suit with combines two large double beds. But we had to stay in some other room at the same price without facilities available in the family suit. The two beds in the family suit can not be combined and if this was informed to us earlier definitely we could have gone for some other option.

The owner is quite friendly. Breakfast was very good, portions were larger and the room was comfy.

The bathroom could be a bit cleaner.

The hosts were very nice to us and breakfast was nice and fresh.

A few too many mosquitoes in the house, a mosquito net would have been nice

This property is unbelievable. It’s about about 5 minutes walk to the lake, which a stunning walk. It’s the perfect location as you are a perfect distance from the city without being too busy. There is plenty of food options within a short distance of the property too. The staff were so friendly, and gave us advice. The property itself was one of the nicest we stayed in while in Sri Lanka, definitely newly refurbished. Our stay in Kandu was as amazing, and we couldn’t recommend this home stay enough.

Nothing

We could walk to Kandy City Centre within 20 minutes. The hosts are extremely friendly, we were able to park out tuktuk on the property and the rooms were nice and big.

An astoundingly clean and well-maintained property.

Anyone who could find a complaint about Kan̆du is not being genuine.

The excellent host, comfortable beds and wonderful breakfast

Nothing

Host Wickrama was a true gentleman & nothing was ever a problem. The breakfast was superb & the accommodation was all we could have asked for. Great value for money.

We arrived later than expected & took a little to find, tho more a Google Maps error than Kandu’s.

Rooms are spacious and comfortable, hosts helpful, breakfast tasty and hearty.

Room wasn't 100% clean and it was difficult to understand how to take shower

The guest house was immaculate. The owner and his assistant were very attentive, kind and generous with not only their information but their time. They made extra effort to make me feel at home as well as advise on places to go and what to watch out for. The breakfast was delicious with a bit of Sri Lanka meets Europe vibe. The guest house is located very near to Kandy lake, +-10 min walk down the hill with plenty tuk tuks around if you’re not feeling energetic. I had a wonderful stay & highly recommend this property.

Nil, was great.

Beautiful and very clean room, friendly owner, great breakfast

Nothing

I liked everything very much. We stayed with a family of 2 adults and 2 children, wonderful hosts, delicious breakfasts. Recommend!

The accommodation was beautiful and quiet. We had the best sleep of all Sri Lanka's other accommodations. The gentleman who is the owner really makes sure everything is perfect and his assistant is a really great person who we loved talking to!

A lovely host so very helpful Our room large and very comfortable with nice ensuite. A lovely breakfast was provided I would highly recommend Kandu Hotel.

It was very nice house and the family room was large. The owner was very friendly. Breakfast was tasty but very basic although.

There could have been basic things like shampoo, hair dryer. As there was kitchen also then tea/coffe and cups, plates could have been useful. The location is not far from centre but it still is 2km not 500m.

Good Breakfast

Good value for money, very nice room with good bathroom, conditioner and balcony. A very helpful host and personal. Highly recommend

A little noise once in a while from a pump (I presume) fortunately not at night.

Exceed expectations.

Clean, comfortable, amenities were great.

The property exceeded our expectations! Our room had an amazing balcony with lovely views of the mountains. It was spacious and clean with all amenities we required. The host also provided an exceptional breakfast and was on hand to assist with any queries we had about our stay and also about Kandy itself. The property is located just a short walk away from Kandy lake in a safe and secure area. We will definitely be returning to Kandy again and staying at this property. Highly, highly recommend!

that we couldn't stay longer

Vicky was the most kind and lovely hoster! He made the most delicious breakfast for us, he gave us a better room for the same price and helped us a lot. Highly recommended!!

Quite from the loudy center (20-25min walking) but it's a nice walk around the lake and the place is very quiet. It's worth it!

Nice room, clean linen, friendly staff

Mentioned room charge together breakfas on booking.comt but owner charged again for the breakfast. No matter pay money but dislike about false information

The most beautiful place we have ever stayed in Siri Lanka. The owner Mr. Wiki is extremely kind, friendly and helpful; customer satisfaction is sincerely important to him. The place and the rooms were spotlessly clean. We would recommend it to anyone who is traveling to Kandy. I hope we will stay here again one day.

Nothing

Room is very clean and spacious. Host is attentive and nice. Jaya is very friendly and always smiling. Makes a very good breakfast. Bed is comfortable. Ac works well. Good value for money. Has a mini gym

A little tricky to find, signs very small. We needed tuktuk to help with transportation to and from city as up a small hill. We had to do some research to find things to do but host suggested finding us a driver if we needed

Host very hospitable and couldn't do enough for us. Breakfast was exceptional. Room was lovely size and very clean. Short walk to the lake.

We had some really interesting talks with the owner. Lovely spacious room. Good bed. Shower with hot water seperate.from rest of the bathroom. Lovely breakfast. Washing service. A great place to explore Kandy. It felt very comfortable and.easy going.

There was actually nothing we could complain about.

Nice and comfortable rooms. New furniture with good design. Owner is very positive and has good English.

The owner is a very kind person but it may be better if the guests can feel a little bit freer. You need to come to hotel in a certain time at night because he lives downstairs and locks the gate, you need to ask for TV remote, kettle or soap etc to get them and his helpers are around you in breakfast because they serve. Personally, I like being free.

made to welcome, friendly staff will do anything for you.

The rooms were clean and the hosts were super nice. The breakfast was very good.The owner lets you experience typical Sri Lankan food. If you want, there is also a Western Menu with Egg Sandwiches or Jam,Butter and Bread. You can use the laundery service they have. The owner was geneorous enough to offer some tea and coffee for free.

Nothing much to say. Everything was perfect😎

Cozy, clean and spacious. Me and my girlfriend loved our stay here. Was a much needed break from hostel hopping, nice place to relax and unwind with comfy beds :p Btw don't pass on the traditional home made breakfast!

Absolutely wonderful place in a good, quiet location. Perfectly clean and spacious. Comfortable bed, nice shower. Breakfast was very delicious, I enjoyed it a lot and I was glad to talk to the owner who is a very interesting and intelligent man.

Amazing host! Wickrama helped me figure out activities and things to do in Kandy. Clean and modern facilities and very comfortable place to relax. Short walk to the city and really nice, safe and quiet neighborhood!. Great homestay/b&b experience. Lovely local breakfast too! 😊

A little hard to find but they were very helpful in locating it!

The house and room were very well maintained. Location was great. The host was very helpful in suggesting nearby landmarks to check out and places to eat at. Had a great experience, overall.
