Evergreen

Nous avons adoré l'accueil : Mme.Senna nous a accueilli avec un café et une collation, nous avons pris le temps de discuté de notre vie, de la leur c'était très agréable. Et ensuite la chambre est très spacieuse, très calme avec une très belle vue ! Le petit déjeuner préparé à votre convenance ( sri lankais ou occidentale) copieux et pris sur la grande table de la salle à manger comme à la maison ! C'était très bon et nous nous sommes senti accueilli avec beaucoup de bienveillance. Merci encore mr et Mme. Senna!

Les hôtes ont été aux petits soins pour nous. Nous nous sommes sentis comme à la maison. Ils parlent tous les 2 très bien anglais et ont pu nous fournir des explications sur le Sri Lanka. Très bonne expérience

お母さんの用意してくれるご飯がとても美味しく、部屋がとても綺麗に掃除してあります。 高台にあり、夜は星空とキャンディの夜景が見え、朝は鳥の囀りで目が覚めます。

I had such a great experience staying here and felt completely at ease the whole time. Ranjini and Sena are incredibly warm and thoughtful people who go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. I especially appreciated the little moments, sharing tea, having relaxed conversations and learning more about local life and culture. I felt like I‘m part of the family. The location is slightly outside the busy center which I actually enjoyed. It’s peaceful and comes with a lovely view, while still being easy to reach by tuk-tuk or public transport. The room itself was spacious, spotless, and well-equipped. The food was another highlight, fresh, varied, and clearly prepared with care. I told them about my vegan diet and that was no problem at all. All in all, it was a place I truly enjoyed staying at and leaving wasn’t easy. I’d happily recommend it to anyone planning a visit to Kandy.

I had a wonderful time during my stay. The accommodation is located in a quiet area, just a few minutes from the center by tuk-tuk. The hosts are very kind and helpful, and we had some great conversations. The breakfast is delicious and plentiful. The view over the city is beautiful.

Great location away from the noisy city center but not too far either so access was easy by tuk tuk. Clean rooms with shared balcony. Delicious breakfast and the host was very welcoming and friendly!

Sehr saubere Unterkunft, sehr nette und hilfsbereite Vermieter, außergewöhnlich gutes Frühstück und Abendessen. Schöne Aussicht und Garten.

Sena and Ranjini were amazing! They made us feel so at home. The views were spectacular from our room and Ranjini made us a wonderful breakfast. The room was great, very clean and cool. Ranjini and Sena even helped us get a tuk tuk into town which was super helpful. It was so great to learn about the history of Sri Lanka from Sena too! We had a fabulous stay and would recommend this home stay to all!

Les hôtes sont très accueillant et chaleureux. Ils veillent à ce que tout se passe bien pour nous. Nous avons partagé le petit-déjeuner avec eux, c'était très chouette d'échanger avec eux. Ils parlent très bien anglais. Le petit déjeuner était typique et très copieux. Comme il n'y avait personne après nous, ils nous ont permis de laisser nos sacs dans la chambre, le temps des visites.

Rarement nous avons rencontré des personnes si gentilles et si accueillantes. Nous avons eu des supers endroits chez l'habitant mais celui-ci était notre préféré. Vous serez accueillis comme des membres de la famille. Un immense merci de nous 5.

Evergreen completely exceeded my expectations! The hosts Ranjini and Sena are really accommodating and kind. Many times they offered me a cup of tea, and I received thoughtful recommendations and learnt about Sri Lankan culture as they were both always up for a chat. It feels as though you are a part of a family when you are staying at Evergreen. Although a bit out of town, you have a beautiful view of the city and can easily get around with PickMe or by bus, plus it only takes around 30-40 minutes to walk into town. The rooms are spacious, clean and the WiFi works very well. The breakfast was a big variety and Ranjini's cooking was amazing. I was sad to leave because I had such a pleasant stay! I would recommend to anyone visiting Kandy.

I was treated like family. Great view

Really really nice people. The room was super clean and comfortable and the breakfast very tasty. We got there by tuk tuk. Quite hilly, but manageable. I would really recommend this place

Super süßes Ehepaar, dass uns aufgenommen hat wie ihre eigenen Töchter. Schön war auch, dass wir familiäre Fotoalben anschauen durften. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Es gab ein ausgiebiges, leckeres Frühstück und sogar einen Willkommens Tee mit Snacks. Wir kamen mit einem Tuk Tuk, das ist zu empfehlen, da es nicht fußläufig zum Stadtkern ist. Die Aussicht ist dafür aber auch grandios.

J’ai été super bien accueilli lors de mon passage à Evergreen. La chambre est d’un propreté irréprochable (assez rare au Sri Lanka) et la chambre était vraiment confortable. Eau chaude, énorme petit déjeuner et délicieux! Je recommande +++

From the moment I arrived I was welcomed like one of the family. Ranjini is an incredible cook, a lovely person and always made sure I had everything I needed. Sena gave me lots of useful information about travelling in Sri Lanka and how to spend my days. The room was perfect and the bed was extremely comfortable. The location was just a far enough away from the town to feel like an escape, but still walking distance (around 30-40m). I would recommend this place to anyone coming to Kandy.

ご飯が美味しい。お部屋がすごく清潔。オーナーご夫婦が気遣ってくださり安心、リラックスして滞在できます。 朝の鳥の声、夜の星空、朝晩の爽やかな気候。 去年に初訪問、一年でまた遊びにきました。また滞在したいです。

なし！

Sehr nette Gastgeberin, Lage ein wenig außerhalb dafür wunderbarer Ausblick und dschungeliger Garten. Frühstück sehr reichhaltig, auch Kekse und Kaffee/Tee zum ankommen, sehr nett.

Toilette hat am Abfluss getropft

L’accueil et la chaleur des hôtes. Ils font tout pour que l’on se sente bien, comme dans une famille. Très bonne communication. Situé au calme, sur les hauteurs de Kandy, à 10-15 minutes maxi du centre ville. On nous a permis de changer de chambre pour une autre, plus grande et plus confortable.

Forte humidité et décoration / ameublement mériteraient un sérieux rafraîchissement.

Thankyou for a lovely stay , helpful advice about catching train to Ella , and accomodating my breakfast Take care xx

It’s all about the people. Come and you’ll truly understand what it means to experience a different culture — gentle and intelligent people

Very hospitable hosts room was spotlessly clean and the breakfast was simply amazing

it’s on a hilltop of Kandy, place was very comfortable & clean, hosts are really kind and will make sure you feel right at home. breakfast prepared by Sena was also very delicious, with a lot of love.

We're still travelling around Sri Lanka, and yet to find the kind of food we had at Evergreen. Breakfasts and dinners came with a mouth-watering array of side dishes - endless fruits and curried delights! Also, Sagreet, the son was a great help, driving us round to various locations in his free time, including to their doctor to sort out my cough!. If you are looking for the best Sri Lankan cuisine has to offer, then this is definitely the place!

I stayed at Evergreen for a total of 3 nights and was warmly welcomed by Sena and his family when I arrived. The accommodation is in a quiet location and is a welcome change from the vibrant city. My room had everything I needed, it was comfy, clean and I had a good night's sleep. There are also seating areas outside the guest rooms with beautiful views of Kandy and the mountains beyond. Breakfast and dinner prepared by Senna‘s wife were always freshly made and absolutely excellent. I always felt welcome, everyone was so helpful and caring. We had many nice conversations. The guide they arranged for me for a hike in the Knuckles mountains was very good, I had a wonderful day. The Evergreen is my first choice in Kandy and I can thoroughly recommend it.

Absolutely lovely people. Couldn't have been more welcoming. The hosts had also arranged transport for us with Indika (who incidentally was a very charming man who provided a professional service). Food provided was great, really enjoyed our chats. Would absolutely recommend Evergreen.

Nothing

Very nice contact with the hosts. They are a lovely couple who enjoy to get to know their guests. Breakfast was amazing. I would definitely go back. You definitely need a tuk tuk to access the house. We had a driver, so this wasn't a problem.

I really liked the place, it was very nice and peaceful whereas we are in Kandy! There is also a very nice view and we feel directly welcomed, with tea and biscuits ! The people are very nice and they exchanged a lot with us, very interesting talkings and nice family. I enjoyed breakfast very much, one of my favourite in Sri Lanka! I had asked for a Sri Lankan breakfast it was just delicious.

I wish we could have breakfast outside, but I appreciated to be welcomed in the house.

Ranjini and Sena are a very kind and caring couple and made me feel instantly at home after two long days of travelling. Ranjini is an amazing cook and prepared amazing breakfasts and dinner for me and the other guest. They are very well informed and are happy to provide recommendations for activities, restaurants and other practical matters in the area. The house and room are located on a hillside with plenty of green, a beautiful view over Kandy and sufficient shade to provide some cooling on the hotter days. This place exceeded my expectations and made me feel very welcome in Sri Lanka. Great value for money

I liked everything.

This place is offered by very kind educated retired couple who really care about the details. The rooms and bathroom are clean and shiny, which is not common in Sri Lanka’s homestays. The villa has a nice view and very quiet position. Unfortunately we couldn’t stay longer than one night. The breakfast is exceptional Thank you very much 🙏

Nice place.

We as a family of 2 adults and 2 small kids stayed at Evergreen homestay. It is a cozy homestay nestled between nature. The hosts were really welcoming and very friendly. They opened their doors for us to make our stay comfortable and our kids also felt very much at ease! They arranged a very friendly tuktuk ride who took us to all the sightseeing places in Kandy. He spoke English very well which made it very easy to get around. The son in law of the host himself drove us to Nuwara Eliya with nice sightseeing stops along the way! We had an enjoyable stay and would recommend to everyone who would like a personal homely touch to their stay!

I had a great time at Evergreen! The room was very clean and cozy. Most of the time I had to work, so they provided me an extra table that I could be on my laptop and enjoy the great view at the same time. Every wish was fulfilled and I regularly received delicious tea, of course at no extra cost. The hosts are just great and interesting personalities! They speak very good English and I enjoyed our conversations. I highly recommend the breakfast! I could always choose what I wanted to eat and even my favorite fruits were provided. The portion is fantastic, it was usually enough for me until dinner. 10/10!

Best hospitality experience in Sri Lanka, with a welcoming family in a beautiful location.

Every single thing, the place, the hosts, the food. Everything was just top notch. If you are someone who like staying far away from the noise of the city and want to spend time with local people then this is the place for you. I talked for hours with Mr and Mrs. Sena, listening to stories of time spent in Sri Lanka. The location was so good. You can see the complete the city from there. Rooms were quite good. Wish I could have stayed longer.

The most helpful and caring hosts! Very nice and clean room and a wonderful view of Kandy City. If you visit Kandy, stay at Evergreen!

The hosts were amazing. Thank you so much for the kind hospitality and the lovely tea. The homemade cake was delicious thanks again.

Very small bed but other than that it was great.

The property was clean and calm wirh great views + the kindest hosts I have had in Sri Lanka. Cannot recommend this place enoigh.

Wifi wasn’t working very well in the room itself.

Evergreen is a homestay hosted by a very nice couple. It's a beautiful family house at lush green location in Kandy . The surroundings is just amazing. Our host Rajini ji served us a really delicious breakfast . A very peaceful house and stay .

The location is quite far from the city centre Kandy lake for those who wants to be in the city centre . So every time you need to go for site seeing around you need to get a scooter or book pick me . Also the bathroom is pretty small congested. Otherwise the family house stay and people are amazing .

I came back to this place because everything is so nice here at the Evergreen Homestay. The place is clean and there is a great view to the city and into the trees. The bed was very good, the shower has hot water. The breakfast was excellent. But most than all : The owners are so nice and caring people. I felt like at home and can just recomand this place.

Beautiful, clean place with delicious food and dreamy view to the mountains. Kind and friendly owners who recommended places in the city and told me about the history of the places, gave me a feeling of comfort and warmth of home. Highly recommend to stay in that place, you will enjoy every moment!

Breakfast was delicious, location close enough to Kandy Central but removed enough to enjoy the beautiful suburban surroundings and the peace and quiet. I really enjoyed my conversations with the hosts, and they shared a list of all the best things to do in Kandy with me

The owners were sooo friendly! Sena knows everything about the history of all the places, it was a plesure and an honor to listen to him. His wife was the perfect host and gave me everything i needed.

There was no Wifi in the room, and you need a tuktuk al the time you want to visit places. That can get a bit expensive when you stay longer.

The hosts are very friendly and knowledgeable, and helped me organize my 3 days around Kandy. They can give you info on sri lankan history and best activities, which sights to see, hired drivers, etc. Plus the fantastic local style breakfast and dinner on demand! (extra fee but well worth it) Cozy and clean room separate from the house means you're independent if you wish. You can trust them with your stay!

Everything was great

Very nice hosts. Helpful family for discovering Kandy

No complaints

Absolutely great homestay, with super lovely owners and fantastic food! If I’ll ever come back to Kandy, this will always be my choice.

Nothing

Very friendly and hospitable hosts!

Amazing view, amazing garden. All was clean and private. The hosts went above and beyond to makey stay in Kandy am unforgettable experience. The breakfast was amazing and very diverse. I had to leave early in the morning and the host packed me a breakfast that I had for the whole day (breakfast, lunch and dinner). I absolutely recommend staying at Evergreen. It's pure bliss.

I made the best choice with Evergreen and I am very grateful to meet such a great and educated people. Dr. Sena and his wife Mrs. Ranjini are the most hospitable people I met in Sri Lanka. Inspiring long talks with great tips for trips, perfect breakfast and dinner, quiet room with stunning view… I found here everything I needed (and even more). I can only say that the bar was set very high at the beginning of my travels… I will never forget the best omelette from Mrs. Ranjini, if you like spicy food, it is a must.

Nothing at all. Everything was perfect.

I had a wonderful stay at Evergreen. It’s on a village on the outskirt of Kandy and from the moment I stepped out of the Tuk Tuk, I was greeted very warmly by my hosts and felt very welcome. They very kindly offered me some Tea and cakes which was a very nice touch and I really appreciated it after a long travel from Ella. I had dinner there as well and had some fantastic food prepared by Ranjini. I have really enjoyed how attentive Ranjini and her husband were to make my (short) stay in Kandy worthwhile. They helped arranging a tuk tuk and an itinerary to see the main sights of Kandy in a record timing. I also really enjoyed the great discussions with my hosts (Ps : I made it to the top of Lion’s rock :)) I’d really recommend for anyone looking for a home stay, fantastic experience. Many thanks for my stay with you!

the owners are adult couple of very intelligent people, who were speak fluently English who you can discuss various things with and they werevery kind to me. they own gorgeous garden with big trees, that is why the place called Evergreen. it was really a pleasure to stay there and the only sad is cause i didn't have more time to stay there and that i had to work the only day i had in Kandy. i definitely recommend this place for those who want to stay in a quite comfortable house. owner is a friend of the closely located restaurant where you can have nice dinner by very affordable price.

WIFI is not ideal, was breaking all the time, and loosing signal.

This has been my favourite accommodation so far in Sri Lanka. The owners are the nicest people, so friendly and helpful and really made my time in Kandy. They made me feel like I was part of the family and welcomed me into their home, I ended up extending my stay because I loved it so much. The breakfast was delicious everyday and I was lucky enough to have a vegetarian feast cooked for me which was amazing! Highly recommend staying here!

nothing, I wish I could have stayed longer!

It's been a real treat. I made a reservation at the last minute and they opened their door with an open heart and a big smile. Incredible welcoming and plenty of good recommandation whatever you want to do in Kandy. They spoiled me with tea, biscuits and ice cream on arrival. I had also great talks with the couple. Moreover, fantastic value for money. The omelette in the morning is the best I had in Sri Lanka. So, if you want to stay in Kandy, go and stay with this family. They are just wonderful. Many thanks !🙂

I should have stayed longer !

We have greatly enjoy our stay at Evergreen. What to say we felt like home, a part of family. We have been constantly offered a tea or a snack, and the breakfast was indeed luxurious. Very good connection to WiFi. The owners are very lovely people, always happy to share advice about the locations of interesting places or for intriguing chat. We have greatly enjoyed their warm-welcome and hospitality. Highly recommended and we definitely will come back.

We loved our stay at Sena’s place. It felt like we were at our relatives’. Unfortunately we stayed for a short period of time but Sena gave us a lot of useful information about getting around Kandy and helped us organize a scooter which actually made our trip possible and let us leave the bag during our ride. Thank you dear friend ❤️

I enjoyed the 4days authentic staying with Dr Sena and Ms Ranjini. A very kind and helpfull couple who give good tips in and out Kandy. Try defenitly the homemade evening meal and get to know a bit of Sri Lanka bye them.
