This place is amazing and decorated with taste, it’s like heaven, the owners Chana and Moon are just amaaaazing, sooo helpful and lovely, it’s really a place where you feel home far from home, you can ask them also for a tuktuk if your are staying for few days and want to see everything in a short time, I was with Gihan for 3 days and this driver is just a gem, except the fact that he knows, he is also kind and a very good photographer hahahahha, so if you are passing by Kandy, I definitely recommend villa olde for the stay and gihan for visiting around ❤️, thank you all for making my stay unforgettable that exceeded my expectations

Great location not far from town centre, bus station, railway station etc. nestled in a leafy area away from the chaos of town. We watched the squirrels and birds from the balcony while eating breakfast. Siraj was a fantastic host. Best pancakes and fruit platter. He was very friendly and helped us answer our questions about Kandy. PickMe and Uber work well here too.

This stay was lovely. The accommodation was very comfortable with a great view. The hosts were really kind and approachable and helped us get a ticket for the Kandyan dance and he gave some suggestions on where to go in Kandy. Breakfast was really nice and the host was chatty and made us feel very comfortable during our stay.

Beautiful warm welcome from Kumari & her lovely staff. We were immediately made to feel at home with tea & biscuits. She provided special fruits & items for our breakfast because she asked our children what they liked to eat. Kumari's kindness is so special, she helped us with transport when visiting sites around Kandy, arranged tickets to the Cultural Dance performance & helped us find a wood carving workshop that we had been looking for all through Sri Lanka. Her personal service is second to none - and her helpers are beautiful women too. The dinner & breakfasts we had at her guesthouse were delicious. The location is fabulous for walking to Kandy Lake and the city centre. We highly recommend Kumari's guesthouse - it was a joy to stay there - a really special time in our Sri Lankan holiday. And she has a beautiful garden - don't miss the opportunity to stay here!

It's a very very charming boutique hotel. It has an Italian design. The manager speaks good English and knows what hospitality is. He organised everything for us, was genuine interested and made us feel very welcome. The breakfast is also good. And it's easy in this hotel to also meet other travellers (with families). The views from the hotel are stunning, it's a little bit out of the city center but therefore also nice and quiet.

The lake view and quiet location are delightful in the morning. The guest house thrives primarily due to its two fantastic hosts, who took excellent care of me. Enjoying a beer and discussing politics with them was a warm and welcoming experience. The recommended dance show is truly worth attending, even though the audience is predominantly white.

Our two hosts were remarkably friendly, attentive and helpful. While the accommodation is located on the outskirts of Kandy (and is thus very quiet - a big plus in our opinion), the city centre and all the major sights are easily reachable by tuktuk. Our corner room with a balcony had a beautiful view over the river and the surrounding countryside. The breakfast - especially the fresh fruit - was delicious, varied and more than we could eat.
