The family here, and their staff, are the kindest people we gave met on our travels! The rooms are great, good AC, hot shower, comfortable beds. The other travellers here were super nice too. I highly recommend this hostel! But my favourite part of this stay was the cutest dog, a huge rottweiler who is so relaxed and kind, called DJ :)

The location was perfect. Not in the crazy centre but still quite central and its near the lake which makes it a beautiful walk into town. The staff is literally amazing. Super helpful and its such a good deal staying here. Breakfast and dinner included and the hostel itself isnt big which makes it easy to connect with other travellers. Super nice vibes. Would very much recommend.
Allison “Very good value hostel”

Private room with good aircon. Convenient location. Reasonable tours offered around the city. Cooking demonstrations in the evening were informative. Nice to have a pool. Price was very good value as it included breakfast and evening meal. Very friendly people who gave you some good advice.

The free cooking class and free dinner are just amazing for meeting people. The staff is super nice and will help you with everything. I do recommend doing one of there tours. If you book on their website you’ll get a 20% discount.

The staff are incredibly welcoming and are willing to help with any request big or small, guaranteed you were always greeted with a smile! The property is as listed on the website and includes all extras, including the perks of breakfast, lunch and cooking classes. They always made everyone feel at home and the dinners every night were divine. The hostel is only a short walk into town and is in a quiet area of Kandy. Highly recommend booking an extra day to spend by the pool! Thank you so much for a beautiful few days in Kandy ☺️
