Positive: Wow. This place was exceptional! From the moment we arrived, our every need was catered for expertly, swiftly and with flourish of personalised service that has is well above the standard of many other accommodations. Bandula was the man in charge while the owner was on leave - and he was fabulous. It was very quiet here and we were the only guests for some of the stay, so we enjoyed the luxury of full attention of all the staff. This place is a gorgeous small boutique hotel set in an old tea plantation house, away from Kandy centre, set high up on a ridge, from where you gaze down across the whole valley and surrounding hills that cradle this British colonial capital. Beautiful and spacious, the property comprises just two floors - an elegant and relaxing ground floor space split between a large lounge, spacious dining room and bar, and an outdoor garden and pool area. We stayed in the Lemongrass Deluxe Garden Room. Wonderful huge room - four poster bed draped with mosquito nets, terrific balcony with awesome views. Fab large TV perfect for binging Netflix at night after days of exploring, enjoying attentive room service. Breakfasts were nourishing - it was great to sit out in the garden - and other dishes from the menu were available most of the day

Negative: This place is perfect! Did not want to leave. If we come back to SL, we will DEFINITELY stay here again.

Summary: AN EXTRAORDINARY ELEGANT AND COMFORTABLE STAY. 11 OUT OF 10!

Positive: This is a boutique 5 room property nestled in a quiet part of Kandy. It is away from the hustle bustle and only a 15 min drive to the old kandy town. The structure is more than 100 years old. The garden outside and the pool overlooking the greens is fabulous. We chose to be at the tent and loved the experience - it was spacious and the toilet was so beautiful and aesthetic . Do note that you have to keep the coolers switched on and may have less cooling effect. Since it is a tent , you wil have lizards and them making noise but the bed is well covered and has a net etc . I had a great nights sleep The chef was also kind enough to pack breakfast for us the next day by 6am. He packed sandwiches , some cookies , fruits , and coconut sambol. Was very helpful for our 3 hour drive to Colombo. Overall positive experience . The manager showed me the other rooms and they are all very spacious and well lit with natural sunlight flowing through .

Negative: Tent can have issues with cooling the room as the room is hugeeee and there are two air coolers. Make sure to not switch them off ( which I did when we went out )

Summary: Unique tent experience away from kandy hustle

Positive: We stayed in the Riverdale Bungalow. The view was exceptional, just so beautiful. The Bungalow itself has a fascinating history, is beautifully laid out and comfortable and the pool was fantastic. The children were made to feel very welcome and at home. Bandara, our butler, was great - friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and interesting. He even brought some rambutin from his own garden for our daughter when he learned how much she likes them. All of the staff were outstanding - including the gardener who introduced the property’s lovely placid dogs to the kids! We also really loved Kandy as a destination. We had a lovely time and were sad to leave for the next part of our Sri Lankan adventure!

Negative: Nothing!

Summary: Beautiful setting in a lovely city
