My best stay so far in Sri lanka. Truly lovely owners, who know how to make you feel at home and look after you. I love Sri lankan food and was more than happy with all my meals and spiced it up for me. Dinner on the rooftop, can't beat it, great view. Room was spotless and comfortable. Location was fabulous tucked in the hills surrounded by nature. We all deserve a great holiday place and you will not be disappointed. 11/10 for me. Sincerely thankyou for a wonderful stay.

The shower had inconsistent hot water. Sometimes, it was completely cold. It's not a problem if the temperature is warm, but we stayed during the rainy season and needed a warm shower at the end of the day

Peaceful spot overlooking the jungle. Monkeys down below the house were entertaining. The room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was excellent. Hosts were very helpful n arranged a tuktuk tour for us at a reasonable rate

Great view of the forest. Clean with everything you need!

Not a drawback, but be aware that the last stretch of the road is only wide enough for one car. Tuktuks get there with no problem

Nice views, very pleasant hosts. The hotel is on a small hill with an incredible view. Location is convenient, not too far from Kandy city but still far enough to be away from the noise of Kandy. Nothing too fancy about the rooms, but very good value for money. We didn't try the breakfast. Rooms had toiletries and air conditioning too.

We let us pick up by the host from the airport which worked well. The stay was perfect, very nice host, great breakfast and great appartment / location. First thing I saw from the balcony were some monkeys. The next day even more monkeys super close, as they were climbing the buildings next to it. Also we got a ride back to the train station. Thank you very much, would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it

The room was spotless—probably the cleanest one we had during our entire stay in Sri Lanka. It was on the top floor, and the view was stunning. From the bed, you could see a beautiful coconut tree (this view is specific to the room we stayed in). It’s located on a quiet, secondary street, so at night you only hear the peaceful sounds of nature. The owner is very friendly, polite, and communication was excellent throughout our stay. Breakfast is basic: two eggs, a sausage, and some fruit. However, the owner can also cook a delicious dinner—I highly recommend trying it! The room doesn't have a fridge, but there is a TV. The bathroom is stocked with soap, shampoo, and shower gel. If you want to explore the area, you can ask the owner—he can drive you wherever you want to go. We wanted to visit Sigiriya from there, so we booked him for the day, and he took us to all the places we wanted to see. It made the experience so much easier and more enjoyable. We really enjoyed our stay here and only wish we had stayed longer than two nights. Without a doubt, we’d return if we ever come back to Sri Lanka and Kandy. I truly recommend this place!

We were driving toward Nuwara Eliya when we decided to spend the night in Kandy. It was such a wonderful time there with Indi and Anjara. They are incredibly lovely hosts and so helpful. We wished we could have stayed longer at their place. Their home is clean and tidy. Just be aware that if you’re arriving by car, it’s not directly in the city center but still close by. It has an amazing view from the terrace, and we truly felt at home.

Nothing.

Very lovely staff, incredible food and clean facilities. Wonderful view from the terrace

Stayed in February 2025

Just be aware that there's not much in the immediate area and it's quite a walk to get back from Kandy on foot - but we chose the property specifically so we'd be a bit out of the bustle - and there were always Tuk Tuks for us so that worked well for us.

This is a lovely quiet spot, a bit out of and above the city (but we had no problem getting Tuk Tuks - using the PickMe app - to take us to and from the centre) with lovely views from the terrace. Very friendly staff and a very relaxed time - in VERY hot conditions.

Difficult to park a car :p but when you manage, the parking spot is in the shadows

Great people, lovely view from the terrace and great while eating breakfast, comfortable mattresses, good, clean AC, nice bathroom. Location is great (quiet) but you need tuktuk/car to get to the center. Warm water and good water pressure. We ate our best rice and noodles with vegetables during our whole trip.

What a find! We loved our stay at Villa Forest View, fantastic location away from the hustle and bustle of Candy city centre but still easy to access. Clean and comfortable rooms. Delicious breakfast on the roof terrace, with jungle views! Not to be missed! We highly recommend staying here, you won't be disappointed!

Up the hill from the city and the noise. Great room, modern style with a big functional bathroom. Nice place, with a great view from the roof top terrace where we could order breakfast and dinner. Had our laundry done there too and the staff was really friendly and accommodating.

We loved our stay here! Anjana and his family went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The breakfast was one of the best I had during 3 weeks in Sri Lanka and they made something special each morning. We also had really tasty dinner, with great views on the rooftop. They also helped to arrange a Tuktuk into town (5-10 min drive), a great driver for a day trip to the tea fields, and suggested activities (thanks for the tip to visit the Ambuluwawa Tower again). Anjana even drove us to our next location for a fair prize. The rooms are clean and comfy, with the deluxe rooms offering great views over the forest. I would definitely recommend to stay here when in Kandy, being very close to the city center while staying in a more calm, nature environment.

It is a little out of the main part so you do need transport / tuk tuk but actually it worked well as it was so quiet!

Room was beautiful with a great view, spacious and everything you need. The hosts were really friendly and good breakfast with a view was lovely.

The accommodation is located just outside the centre of Kandy and offers spectacular views. If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing retreat, this is the place for you. The hosts are very friendly and heart-warming. The food at the accommodation is highly recommended. There is a small tower with a jungle view where you can enjoy the sunset. The host gives great tips about Kandy and if you are planning to travel to Sigiriya, be sure to ask the owner for tips, he will also help you to plan your trip there.

Very nice guest house, nice people, good breakfast, wonderful view, nice rooms.

The only thing I can think of is that it’s a bit farther from the city center, but frankly that’s why I picked this place.. because it backs into an amazing forest that you wouldn’t be able to experience otherwise. Also it’s very easy to call a Tuk Tuk to take you into the city

I think this just might be my favorite place I’ve stayed at in Sri Lanka. The forest setting and views are spectacular. You can watch monkeys, wild pigs, birds, etc right from your balcony or from the rooftop cafe where you’re served absolutely incredible food.. as in the reaaally good food. Better than you can get at any of the local restaurants. The AC worked great, the bed was comfortable and hot water in the shower. Quiet and clean. The family is also very nice and provide great service

Nothing.. just keep an eye out for the monkeys!

Great accommodation. The rooms were spacious, very clean, comfortable, with good amenities and AC. The location is in a quiet suburb 10mins from Kandy, perfect for relaxing from the chaos of the centre. The hosts are outgoing and friendly, and we enjoyed an amazing dinner and breakfast cooked by Indi. They also drove us to our next destination in Sigiriya, for a fair price. Overall, a great stay that I would thoroughly recommend.
