This guest house could be very good but falls short through lack of care. My party of 4 had the 2 rooms on the top floor. This gave stunning views across the lake and included nice indoor and outdoor seating areas. However the rooms were very basic and the toilet / shower areas minimal. The mattress on the double bed...

This is the only place in SL were I stayed and thought that the Sri Lankan hospitality was lacking. For being a guesthouse, their outlook is more of a resort/hotel. I had planned to stay in Kandy for 3 nights but cut short my trip due to the experience in this place. They have few really budget rooms which are... More

After taking a train from Colombo we stayed in Expeditor for two nights. We had the top floor all to ourselves likely because it was the beginning of the season. The GH is located on the side of a mountain with a nice view and the walk to the lake is managable during the daylight hours. It is close enought... More

We stayed here for one night after a train ride from Colombo to Kandy - basically to get sorted for our trip through the 'Cultural Triangle'. Looking back we should probably have relied on the host's recommendation on their experienced guides for this area. Our room in this slightly remote hillside guest house was okay with a nice view on... More

The owner of this hotel made false promises to us and it ended up costing us not the 4450R they quoted for the room but 6000R. We had booked ahead and were told they have family rooms and of course booked a room on this basis. We arrived at 12:00 at night (with 2 young children in tow) after a... More

Our holiday in Sri Lanka was one of the most memorable vacations we have had. The icing on the cake was our stay in this lovely home stay. The owners Kanthi and Sid were so delighted that a family was staying in their inn, that they entertained the kids like they were their actual grandchildren. The rooms were peaceful, clean... More

We spent three nights at the Expeditor Inn, and found it to be clean and comfortable. We had a room with lovely views of the lake and temple, and a good bathroom. The bed was comfortable, and the room had lots of space. We paid a reasonable price. The location is a little ways out of Kandy, but not a... More

This is a pretty new place, so fairly sparkling clean. When we were there there was a huge amount of drilling going on from way too early o clock. They still had quite a lot of work to so when we left, so not sure how king that's valid. It's a bit all white, like an office, the owner spent... More
