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!

If You try to find a very special home GH with a bunch of local intellectual architecture and the warmth of home, You should book Namaya Nature. The owner and hoster Mrs. Neetha is one of the sweetest ladies I have ever met in my life. She will be carying of You with the willing of her hearth. Our room was really carmatic. Sitting in the balcony we could admire the great view of Kandy and moreover be in the contact with the nature. A huge jungle tree was just in front of us blooming and sometimes monkeys walking up & down & feeding themselves with the flowers. Taking our breakfast, we could admire a huge Budha stattue in the valley of Kandy and be served like in a 5 stars hotel. Moreover if You like to eat very tasting lunch or dinner, Neetha is really an excellent and biological cooker. We were really satisfied and happy. Eva & Jean

I couldn’t be more happy with my stay at Hideaway. It was one of the best stays I had in the whole of Sri Lanka. The owners are incredibly sweet and also very nice to talk to. We chatted about almost everything, they cooked us amazing food and I really felt part of their family. Can’t wait to get back and stay there again!
