Sudesh and his family truly embody what hospitality is all about! 🙌 Our first stop in Sri Lanka was Kandy, and I remember calling my family back home to rave about how amazing our host was. From the moment we arrived, Sudesh and his family made us feel incredibly welcome. They were always there for us—whether it was arranging a tuk-tuk (sometimes even for free if someone else was going in the same direction), offering great recommendations, or treating us to a delicious spread of authentic Sri Lankan dishes. Communication was always easy and fast, and Sudesh was available by text or phone call anytime, which really made us feel safe and at ease. The room was so comfortable, the washroom spotless, and the air conditioning worked perfectly—everything was just spot on. But let me tell you about the food! If you stay with Sudesh, *do not* miss the lunch! I can't stress this enough—it was honestly the best meal I've ever had, and I might have gone into a food coma afterward. Sudesh’s mom went above and beyond, making extra dishes just for us, and they were so excited to share their cooking. It felt like visiting family who are eager to spoil you with their best recipes. The complimentary breakfast was also incredible—I've never seen such a generous spread! Unfortunately, we were only able to stay for one night, and I really wish we could have extended our time there. I absolutely recommend staying here if you're in Kandy. It’s peaceful, beautiful, and you'll be taken care of by some of the kindest hosts you could ask for. 100% would stay again!

We Really enjoyed the beautiful Villa with a lot of Green, a Nice Pool and beautiful, spacious very clean rooms. We had a room on the First floor with a wonderful view in the courtyard. There are a lot of plants that ensure privacy on the balcony. It is the Perfect Location to stay in Kandy. The City Center is in walking distance, but you can also take a Tuk Tuk if you prefer This. The couple who Runs the accommodation is very kind and helps you with everything. I forgot something in the room and they helped me a lot to get it back. Thank you for having us!

The room was spacious and clean, with a comfortable bed. There was hot water and the wifi worked well. Breakfast was delicious and there were so many options which you could choose from. Location is great, really quiet and pretty but only 15 mins away from the city and tuktuks are very cheap. Sri was so welcoming and willing to help us with anything that we needed. Would very much recommend!

Marvel Hills exceeded our expectations. What a truly lovely homestay. The owner went out of his way to help us out with luggage storage and extra night there. Location was fabulous as the local bus stop is very close and cheap to use and frequent. We had a room with balcony overlooking Kandy hills. The room was very spacious with kitchenette on balcony and fridge/freezer. The grounds and garden were immaculate. We will be recommending this gem to family and friends and will definitely be back one day soon. 10/10

Extremely comfortable and good value in a great location. This is an amazing old house in a great part of town near the lake. The host has lived here for many decades, and it really feels like an intimate homestay in spite of the several rooms. The room was large and lovely, with a beautiful view over the hillside. It is not luxurious, but really comfortable and full of character, and the included breakfast was very good as well.

I had a fantastic stay at Roo Lanka Homestay Hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. The rooms were spotless, and the hotel is conveniently close to Kandy city, offering a peaceful retreat. The Sri Lankan food was delicious and authentic. Overall, a great experience with warm hospitality, cleanliness, and a perfect location. Highly recommended!

Nestled in the picturesque hills of Kandy, this tranquil homestay is a must-visit destination. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by two exceptional hosts who went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The authentic, plentiful meals they prepared were a true delight. The accommodation itself was elegantly appointed and immaculately clean. Situated on top of a small hill on the edge of the woods, the house lies approximately 2.5 kilometers from the center of Kandy.

The host family was so nice, hospitable and helpful in making sure that we enjoy our stay in Kandy, Mr. Leslie proactively offered tuktuk from railway station for advantageous price and provided a lot of other really valuable advice. Breakfast as well as dinner were rich and tasty. There is a kitchen available for making tea or coffee, as well as drinking water. A lot of common room (dining room, terraces) where one can meet other travellers.
