The host was just amazing, he was so helpful to find out what to do around Kandy, really very patient, even helped to give directions to the tuktuk. He made the experience very worthwhile. The place was also really clean and nice and very comfortable. Would definitely recommend staying here.

I stayed here for three days and I'd love to stay longer. The owner is very kind and honest. Although the common areas aren't very spacious, the rooms are large, clean, and relatively new. They come with air conditioning, fans, and cooking facilities. The location is convenient for transportation, so I think it's a great value!

This hostel was really great and beautiful. The staff is really nice and helpful. They organise a lot of activities. I had a really great time here. A bit outside of the town but with a tuk-tuk, it was easy to go to the city.

Amazing deal for the price and location. Its about 400 in a Pick Me ride if you walk away from train station to other side of lake. Can catch a bus back to town easily. Family was super accommodating and welcomed me with a coffee and quick chat. Their daughter bakes great cakes and mom and daughter made a lovely simple Sri Lankan breakfast. Quiet even for SL New Year.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
