We originally booked two rooms for Lakshmi Guest House, they kindly offered a free pick up from the bus station to the guest house, but unfortunately we've been brought to another guest house: Palm Garden's and not at Lakshmi as per our reservation (same owner "Mr. Malik" for both properties). We were really disappointed and upset for the following reasons:... More

Yes, the people here are definitely very friendly. The question is how sincere that friendliness is. An earlier reviewer spoke of upselling and we're gonna have to agree with them. The people are very friendly, almost too friendly and when they've reeled you in, they try to sell you all kinds of things such as day trips, tickets to dance... More

To arrive at this friendly guesthouse, when you are tired and dirty, is a very nice experience. The owner and all the staff will help you feeling at home; their good advices, their knowledge of the town, even the two small tuk tuks will bring you anywhere you ask for, and always with a smile on the lips of the...

I found my stay at the palm garden really enjoyable. The staff were very helpful. The food was really nice. We had the sri lankan curry, very nice. The rooms were clean ie clean bed sheets and bathroom which is what you want. The guesthouse is about a 20 minute walk into Kandy town. I would definitely stay there again.

We stayed at Palm Garden again, cause we love the place. The rooms are spotless clean, nice beds, good prices, recently refurnished the rooms. The owner Malik and his French wife are very helpful and will make sure your stay at the this guesthouse will be a pleasant one. They can also arrange trips all over the country. Food is... More

The people who operate this place are among the finest and most caring I have met in my travels. Mr. Malik is a business man and does promote his... More

but was good for a one-night stopover. Pro: clean rooms, good bathroom (though hot water takes an age to start). Nice b'fast on the rooftop restaurant, but this just like the other meals was overpriced for a guesthouse. Good bus connectivity to and from centre. Good mozzie protection with working neys Con: dirty garden and surroundings, with the nastily smelling... More

The owner of the guest house helped us organizing the trips and other accomodation which was beyond his duties.We really appreciated his help. The place is very friendly to newcomers and the rooms are cleaner than in other places,which is relaxing.

The people working in this house are very friendly and helpful all the time. The room was clean and the restaurant on top of building was a place to meet people at any daytime. The way to the centre is not to far to walk and even to arrange a tuk tuk or a taxi they offered help. Tipps and... More
