    Good rooms with hot showers. The owners are very friendly here. We used the great PickMe app to get here from the train station for 180 rupees. The meals were excellent. The owners wife will gladly give rides into the city. The car is very comfy but you pay a lot higher than a tuk tuk for this luxury. For a fee they will also pick up train tickets from Kandy to Ella. WiFi was also good.

    This is one of the exceptional stays I have even experienced. It's really felt like a second home to me. The hosts Mr. Peries, Mrs. Peries and their son Hasitha are probably best hosts you could wish for. I was welcomed and greeted by Hasitha and wanted to make sure that I like/ agree on everything he showed by before I got in to the room. Can't imagine such a personalized and kind service. Provided a lot of information about the area and what to do and about the local specialties. Room was very clean had provided with every essential thing one required. Never felt this accommodation is run to make profits but 100% think about the guests satisfaction. Mr. Peris spent more than 2 hours with me experiencing his past experiences with guests from all over the world. Its worthwhile listening to him for those inspirational stories. Hasitha was such a great person with kind heart to check always whether you are happy with everything. Not to miss the amazing home made food by Mrs. Peiris …The variety of food they sever for meals were unbelievable. The spread, taste and kindness too added to the delicious food they made. Many nature trails can be made by being here. Abundance of birdlife in the property itself. One will get the best advice about Kandy and the surroundings from Mr. Peiris who is an academic and top-notch state employee. You don’t want to let him go when he starts relating stories. I could write pages about the complete and outstanding service they provided during my stay. Definetly this is going to be my home away home whenever I come to Kandy. I wish them all the very best and I highly recommend people who want to experience the top-quality Sri Lankan hospitality of a Sri lankan family

    This place is wonderful, located outside the buzz of Kandy City with the most welcoming and warm hearted hosts. Breakfast is delicious and so was dinner the one night we are there. View and sounds are pure jungle and the message place next door is good and reasonably priced. We loved everything!

    Definitely dont recommend this accommodation, we booked a room in a building, and we got another room in a different building, because the owner double booked it and then he tried to convince us that we booked a private bathroom and the room that we initially booked had no attached bathroom to the bedroom. The room that we got instead was smaller, dirtier,no AC, the toilet was very dirty and full of ants (see photo attached)!!! It was also a different building alltogether. He didn't even try to give us an apology. And the breakfast that was not included, was the poorest of all breakfast we had here in Sri Lanka. PS: pictures don't match the reality!

    Leslie and his family were so kind, welcoming and helpful!! The house is a few minutes outside the busy city center, up the hill with a nice view. The rooms are very comfortable and clean. Breakfast and dinner were delicious, homemade and even with homegrown fruit and veggies. I highly recommend this place! Thank you Leslie & family for the hospitality!

    Excellent location & amenities. Host family is great. They even provided dinner & breakfast on our request. Parking for 2 vehicles is available on the property. Clean rooms & linens. We will visit this place again. If you are a family travelling, this is the place.

    We stayed one night here and had the best hosts we could imagine! They drove us in the middle of the night with their car to the train station and made a really tasty breakfast.

  • 5/5 Phil H. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely loved our stay here! The family who run it are the most lovely hosts you could wish for and couldn't do enough to make our stay here amazing! Simply awesome home cooked food, clean rooms, nice showers, and plenty of space. Drinking tea on the balcony whilst looking out over the forest during a downpour was spectacular.

    Quiet place outside the city center. The host was very welcoming and offered a ride into town. The rooms were clean and we also had a living room and small community kitchen where you could prepare tea or coffee. Breakfast was plentiful and great Sri Lankan food! The host was very forthcoming and even did laundry for us. All in all great experience, would recommend to everyone for a perfect stay in Kandy!

    Being a tour oprator, I have been workimg with Hanthana Jungle View for more than a year. I would say this is one of the best home stays in Kandy with a lovely family behind the whole super work they do to make their guests happy. Hospitality at their best! Food, cleanliness, guidnace of locality is superb.

    home away from home, so much so you may not want to leave, beautiful stroll into Kandy town. away from the hustle and bustle yet at the center of it at the same time. Hosts made us dinner drove us to town - got us train tickets at 4am last minute, I felt like a daughter and all who stayed felt the same.

    Very nice ,cosy and lovely house for stay . The owners are very warm And affectionate people catering to all your requirements . Breakfast,dinner and travel to railway station was also provided personally by them at very reasonable charges .The balcony has a breathtaking view .Very well furnished rooms .If you are going in a group of 4-6 people ,common washrooms should not be an issue.

  • 5/5 Susanna F. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is the best you can find, don’t hesitate to book! I went back there 3 times during my trip to Sri Lanka. Clean rooms, delicious food, great fast Wi-Fi, and quiet location. But what really made the difference was the extreme kindness of Mr.Peris. He is so nice, funny, caring, absolutely the best ❤️ It’s a place I will never forget, thank you so much for everything you have done for us!

    A beautiful place to stay with friendly hosts, tasty food, tranquil environment. There is big balcony with nice view, equipped kitchen. Everything was great and I stayed here already twice and planning to stay again if visiting Kandy again. The hosting couple are always trying to help the best they can. It's up the hill and a bit far from center but I personally didn't want to stay in noisy and dirty center of the city.

    One of the best place you must try out if you looking for a less cost. Hanthana is a famous area for sight seeing in Kandy. So I don’t think this place gives any CONs.

  • 4/5 Helen R. 5 years ago on Google
    Guesthouse is away from city centre so quiet at night and nice jungle view on the balcony. Family is very friendly and helpful. The private room with bathroom is large with a comfortable bed. While older, everything is well maintained. You can get a ride into the city for about 800lkr, depends on where you are going. Owner will go at 5am to get 2nd class train tickets to Ella for a nominal fee, well worth it. We had breakfast and dinner, both are excellent and well priced. You won't go hungry. I'd stay again if in the area.

    Room very clean, the family who runs the guest house is very kind and helpful. They served us a huge and delicious breakfast. I highly recommend hanthana jungle view to everyone.

  • 5/5 Linda B. 5 years ago on Google
    Wonderful homely place. The rooms are spotless . Breakfast is a delicious buffet with eggs you can cook . We had an evening meal on the day of our stay which was also delicious . We travelled by train from Kandy and arrived really late but the owner picked us up from the station and we arrived to a lovely cup of tea. They also have us a lift into Kandy and provided very helpful advice on where to visit and how to get around. A perfect place to stay when visiting Kandy. Internet was not great but we got by.
