everything was very good munaweer ravi and family are very nice people this very peaceful place very homely and proud shi lankan family it is very safe good price very good thanks so much kevin

Ravi est quelqu'un de très gentil et serviable. Son logement est situé au calme, au plus proche de la nature. Il reste quelques travaux de finitions mais rien de bien grave. Rien de gênant. L'accueil de sa famille a été un moment fort de notre passage. Quelle gentillesse !! Encore merci.

This was a great homestay-experience! Munaweera, Ravi and their family were really wellcoming and friendly - I will always remember their heartwarming kindness. If you want to learn about the life of a Sri-Lankan family, this is the place to go. The room was cosy and clean and had a lot of charm. Breakfast and dinners were tasty.

Waouhhhh !! Ce fut une très belle rencontre !! Merci infiniment pour votre gentillesse, générosité et douceur de vivre. À peine arrivée au Sri Lanka, Ravi et un ami chauffeur sont venus me chercher à l'aéroport (pour 5500 roupies, 80 km). La maman et la femme de Ravi m'ont accueillie chaleureusement, et m'ont préparer de fabuleux repas végétarien et frais. J'ai pu me promener dans le village et la jungle, superbe, très calme et relaxant. Je suis resté trois jours.. Merci encore. Ravi m'a guidé dans la jungle, et m'a montré un super spot de méditation, il m'a aussi accompagné dans un centre ayurvedique sur la route de Kandy (qu'il ne connaissait pas mais avait entendu parler..), très mauvais endroit que je ne conseille pas pour plusieures raison.. 1- le "docteur nous montre des images puériles pour nous expliquer que c'est relaxant !! 2- les cabines sont séparées par de très vilains rideaux 3- le docteur parle à la masseuse à travers (pas très intimiste 4- il rentre dans la" cabine sans gêne " Merci à Ravi et toute sa famille poyr l'accueil, je me suis sentie "faire partie de cette belle famille"

What a wonderful familiy! Wir haben hier eine Nacht geschlafen und waren begeistert! Ravi hat uns alles gezeigt und sehr geholfen, seine Mama, eine Seele von Mensch, wurde von unseren Töchtern gleich zur Sri Lanka grandma gekrönt. Wir wurden verköstigt und das sehr lecker. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Hier sieht man wie die Menschen hier wirklich leben. Großartig!

From the first moment we felt very welcome and accepted. Ravi picked us up at the train station and we went to elephant riding, which was fantastic experience! Then we went to Munaweera's house and we were welcomed with a cup of tea, biscuits and bananas from their land. All the food we had was extraordinary because it was actually a food from their own garden, fresh and tasty, prepared in traditional way. Ravi was kind to show us around and explain different plants and herbs they use daily for health and wellbeing, all growing in front of their house. Sleeping outside in the middle of the jungle is really nice experience and we can recommend it to everyone.

Munaweera and her family are delightful to be with. We had a truly wonderful airbnb experience staying at their jungle village Homestay. There abode was indeed a truly magical experience after the hectic life of Colombo. We were able to rest and slow down. Munaweera cooked the most delicious meals for us, a truly wonderful introduction to the delights that are Sri Lankan food and hospitality. Ravi her son helped us explore other interest, he arrange an experience with elephants, a visit to a most insightful experience on a Sri Lankan approach to healthy living and longevity using creams and oils developed from knowledge amassed and handed down through the generations and also used in massage which is an experience not to be missed. Staying at this very unique jungle village Homestay is a once in a lifetime experience not to be missed. Travellers to this abode have to suspend all their preconditioned western values of what they expect of holiday accommodation and allow themselves to be transported to a time and place and experience we have all lost touch with if you are to truly benefit from this most special environment looked after by very caring, sensitive and a most wonderful hosting family. We would most definitely recommend that any adventurous travellers coming to Sri Lanka find this magical space, stop, slow down and take time to absorb an environment that is hard to find in our superfast forever plugged in world and it is the best value experience a traveller could have.

We loved this place! With Munaweera, her husband and her son Ravi, it was a real homestay with all that comes along - delicious Sri Lankan food, tea or coffee, family care and time spent together. It is especially a great place for people who seek new experience - staying in a real village, eating home-made and home-grown food, watching coconut being harvested or playing with Munaweera’s grandchildren. We took an amazing ride and bath with elephants or had a nice ayurvedic experience. Ravi is deeply into Buddhism and its practice and Munaweera’s husband was a Dharma teacher so we have spent plenty time of mindful conversations about dharma. Munaweera is the sweetest person to talk to and she shared a lot about the life in Sri Lanka, now and then. Mind that staying in the village has some implications - the mobile or internet signal is not so good, but Ravi can help sort everything out. There is also a little shop available nearby and in about 25 mins of walking, you can get to the main Colombo-Kandy road with bus stop and many shops and restaurants. Overall, Ravi was so willing and helped us a lot with everything - but mind to make sure what kind of services are a friendly help and what is more of “business nature” - it will be helpful for both sides :)

L'endroit est juste merveilleux !!!!Vous pourez y prendre de merveilleuses photos, mais nous avons eux quelques soucis pour payer la nuit. L'hôte à essayé de nous faire payer plus cher la nuit que le prix indiqués sur Airbnb ! Dommage.

Gayan is a very kind and helpful host. He arranges transport and gives good ideas for free time. The food his family prepared was fantastic. This is a GREAT location for an elephant visit and some peace in the beautiful countryside. A lovely old house set in a well kept garden with gorgeous views.

Une famille très sympathique. Mais dommage, la réservation ne correspondait pas à la réalité... Effectuée pour 5, on nous propose une chambre double... Contre un supplément on nous propose une chambre triple que nous prenons. Nous partons sans payer le supplément à cause des cafards, un rideau trop petit en guise de drap, un salle de bain plus que douteuse, une seule moustiquaire pour les 3 lits... Bref, on a passé une bonne soirée à discuter avec eux, mais ce fut désagréable de regagner notre "chambre"...

This property is in a great location and the house/garden and surroundings arre beautiful. Gayan is a great host, friendly and speaks good English for those of us who are a bit rubbish at learning other languages! Bathroom wasn't the best but other qualities made up for that. The dogs are great too...though it might not be the best location if you are nervous around dogs. I'm happy to recommend this place :) ...and the location really is beautiful!

Location was nice. Caretakers were quite friendly. Can't say the pictures of the rooms were all that accurate, bathroom was a kinda dirty, and felt over charged for our breakfast.

First of all thanks you Chamil for making my stay a memorable one. I would say in Sri Lanka you are the best host. Welcome drink, clean towels, nice cozy house, clean dining room, spacious lounge, trees, birds, walking distance to Pinnawala Open Zoo, Can take tuk tuk to Pinnawela elephant orphanage, Spice and Garden, Glenloch Tea Factory and Buddhist Temple in the locality. The two staffs Anthon & Parera are very nice and friendly. Ever ready to go extra miles to make your stay comfortable. The two dogs are always excited to play, it takes just few biscuit to make them be your best friend. I stayed in the detached hybrid converted container which I would say is much more clean and well maintained compared to other places I have been in SL. Bed is very cozy, shower have hot water, room has a closet to put your closes and since the container is sound proof you hardly hear anything. I would also say even though the temp may be 27+ outside at night the container is very nice to sleep. In all I would say value for money and wise concept.

Thank you for a wonderful stay! Very nice people, great communication and walking distance to the Elephant Orphanage and the Zoo. Would stay here again! :-)

房间很隐蔽,沟通有些困难,而且卫生情况一般,性价比也一般,不过在河边,风景还是可以

环境美丽,房间空调是坏的,卫生间很多蚊子,房东人很好,可能沟通上的问题没早餐,房间和卫生间很大,晚上在阳台比较凉爽,房间很热

Exceptionally friendly welcome by everyone. Katya Christopher Maria and Peter all we happy to make our stay relaxing and peaceful after the long journey. The rooms are clean spacious and quiet. the house is still being renovated but was very quiet and a pleasure to stay in. Breakfast was really fit for a king with wonderful Sri Lankan foods and of course fresh fruits and curd. We did not need to eat for the rest of the day. Thank you everyone and Little Leon is delightful.

Amazing place with an beautiful view and everything was very clean. The only problem we had was that we made a tour with the driver and at the end he wanted more money than Christopher told us we have to pay. But Christopher and his sisters are very friendly.

We enjoyed our stay at Christopher's place. It's quiet, not too far off (5min Tuk Tuk) and pictoresque with the river in front of the house. We liked the big and modern room and the price is fair for what is offered. They even had a driver who picked us up at the train station. We also did a day trip to Sigiriya with him. That was a great service. We once had dinner at Christopher's which we can recommend too.

Lovely house with a beautiful view of the river. I didn't meet Christopher himself but his sister was there to look after me & the other guests. She was so friendly and accommodating and cooked amazing food! I'd recommend staying here if you wanted to visit Kandy

Zusammenfassend kann man nur sagen :PERFEKT! Die ganze Familie ist sehr nett und das Essen wirklich sehr lecker!

Super Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Super Frühstück zu einem günstigen Preis. Gutes Dinner. Ruhig gelegen abseits vom Trubel in Kandy. Aber für Tuktuk in die Stadt 300-400 Rs einplanen oder den Bus nehmen für 20 Rs. Das untere Zimmer ist nicht so schön. Wirkte etwas feucht und wärmer als die anderen. A/C für dieses Zimmer kostet extra. Konnten glücklicherweise umziehen. Die anderen Zimmer haben keine A/C ist aber auch nicht notwendig weil die nicht so warm sind. Kühlschrank, Wasserkocher etc. vorhanden. Am Ende wurde uns sehr mit den Zugtickets geholfen. Unterkunft absolut empfehlenswert. Sehr sehr nette Hosts und Unterkunft sehr entspannend am Fluss gelegen. Unschlagbarer Preis für das was man alles bekommt.

Very nice house owner, and lovely pepper. If you want to stay in Kandy quiet, it is good choice. 因为住房在山上,对于不太熟悉路的第一天可能会有点陌生,晚上回去我们挡的Tutu,第二天熟悉后才发现下了山坡就是主路,地理位置确实方便。随后就全程步行了。

很棒的环境。我们去的时候晚上十点钟,很晚。第二天早上起来,很惊喜。

Therese 奶奶家的房子在山坡上,离车站很近,基本上可以步行,房子有一个很漂亮的花园,奶奶人也非常热情非常好,总体感受很不错…

抵达斯里兰卡后直奔康提Therese奶奶家,短暂的两晚很棒的体验。房间位于山腰之间,环境很不错,每天清晨都能俯瞰山下的康提中心。奶奶很友善,是个伟大的教师,教授英文。最最最重要的是,奶奶厨艺非常棒!奶奶做的食物是我在斯里兰卡吃到为数不多的美食之一,现在想想依然回味无穷啊!真的很美味!现在我平安回国啦,hi~Therese奶奶,你好吗?下次去斯里兰卡,要常住你家哦!嘿嘿~

房子的位置不太好找,但是严格按照房东的路线图是可以找到的。房子在山上,景色非常棒,只是晚上有些凉。去市中心很方便,房东是位英语老师,交流无障碍。

房东非常友好,给我们做早茶,乐于交流,给我们很多有益的建议。

山里的一间小屋,风景还行,但车很难开尤其是晚上!住宿有点简陋,除了床位没有任何其他任何食物饮料可以提供。房东年纪很大,估计也照顾不过来!

主人外出度假,她儿子接待了我。挺不错的民宿,装修简单,有当地特色。床单感觉不大干净。在山上,景色很赞,可以俯瞰康提,缺点是路不好找。

非常喜欢!房子的地理位置很好,市中心步行20分钟可到达,闹中取静在kandy的山上,清晨的空气和夜晚的夜景都是一级棒。每天早晨会很用心的准备早餐,天天不重样。房东的小伙子叫'Suranga,Suranga人非常好,推荐我们去的餐厅和景点都很棒,早晨会很贴心的询问是否需要送我们去车站或景点。在他家住了3天,走的时候特别不舍得,Suranga,miss you so much!

我们在晚上到的这儿,房主亲自下来接的我们,他人非常的友善,问我们有什么要求,然后都尽量满足。房间很干净,风景很好,这是一次很愉快的入住体验

由于误定了他的房间,当时没有取消,也没有入住,一个星期之后才发现,后来与房东协商退款,房东退了一部分钱,因此在沟通上还挺好的~

房主很热情,刚到就邀请我们上去楼上坐,请我们喝红茶,还叫了家族的其他人过来陪我们聊天,算是很不错的一次经历。房间挺不错的 还有个小厨房。虽然价格高了点但我觉得是值得的。

Bernards place was a great spot to start our sri lankan holiday. He organised a taxi from the airport at a reasonable fair and we were greeted very warmly by Uma and Suranga. They offered us great sugestions on how to get the most out of our time in Kandy and helped organise taxi's, train tickets and were more than helpful with any information we required! On top of a nice clean room the view was beautiful. And if we wernt already satisfied the traditional sri lankan breakfast that Uma and Suranga prepared was 10 out of 10! Another suprise was the traditional massage's that were offered on site by samantha which were like nothing we had experienced before! An amazing start to our holiday, thanks very much Tom and Jenn.

bernard's place is very nice! we spent 4 nights in kandy. the room was ideal and everything was clean. on the balcony you have a beautiful view over kandy and sometimes the monkeys come to visit:) 10points for the breakfast wich was fantastic! i didnt know i can eat so good and so much! every morning something different! bernard gave us a free tour to the tothtempel. he knows so much and loves to share it! thank you soooo much for everything!

Very nice experience in Bernard and Huma's home. Thank you very much for your advices to visit kandy and the region of temples. A special congratulation for the breakfasts which allow us to know better the sri lanka's gastronomy. Thank you for your smile and your kindness.

Thank you so much Bernard & Uma for such a lovely stay. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel so welcome.Bernard & Uma's home is situated up a steep hill with lovely views above Kandy. Bernard had taken the time to walk down to the road to meet us and assist our driver to negotiate the steep drive uphill. The room we stayed in was very clean with its own private outside sitting area.There is also an excellent wifi signal. The bedroom was a good size with en suite and we also had a separate room with a settee and small table,and a kitchenette leading off this with a fridge.The bed was very comfortable and the fan was adequate to keep us cool. You can take your breakfast here but we were so pleased when Bernard & Uma invited us to eat in their beautiful home.It was wonderful to be able to chat with them, and they gave us some great tips about what to do during our short stay. Arriving quite late in the afternoon we didn't feel like going out to eat and despite such short notice Uma produced a fantastic evening meal Sri Lanka style. The breakfasts are very good too, you certainly don't need lunch! We asked them if they could recommend a good place to eat the following evening.They suggested Flower Song a Chinese Restaurant,it was superb and good value for money.The waiting staff were a very friendly bunch too. We cheered on Sri Lanka v Bangladesh during a televised 20 overs Cricket Match whilst there.This did not hinder their attention to detail, I might add, on the waiting front though. On their recommendation we also visited the Kandy Botanical Gardens.We took their tip to get there as it opened (8am) to avoid the crowds and take advantage of the cooler temperature.We took the local bus back to Great View which stops outside the Girls High School and then it's a very short walk back. We like walking and exploring the local area and Bernard suggested that we take a walk up into the Hills above (URL HIDDEN) was not on the tourist route, which was great, and Bernard kindly drove us a good distance uphill with instructions how to return. It was a beautiful evening and once at the top we had stunning views.Ask Bernard for info about this as it's well worth doing.We picked up a Tuck Tuck on the road on the route back down which then took us the Flower Song Restaurant in town. Whilst Great View is approx 1.5 km our of Kandy it's really easy to get around from here and Bernard also has a smart Minibus if you would rather not take the local transport. There are also a further two rooms to choose from so if you are travelling with friends you can all stay in one place with great hosts. Thank you Bernard & Uma we hope to return.

Lovely place to stay. We received a very warm welcome. The guest house manager cooked us a lovely traditional Sri Lankan dinner and breakfast. The food was amazing. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks

A great place to stay when in Pinnawala. The family and staff are delightful and make you feel at home from the moment they greet you. They can make you great food if you request it (I highly recommend you do request it!) for breakfast, lunch and/or dinner. Slightly off the beaten track, in a good way, making you feel like you've really experienced the place and not just been "another tourist" but close enough to the towns attractions such as the elephant orphanage. Thank you again to Chamil, his family and all the staff who made the stay such a great memory. Jess and Paul

War ein toller Urlaub dort. Den Weg dorthin hat sich als ein bisschen schwierig erwiesen. Wer auf eigene Faust dort hin möchte, sollte sich nicht auf das Kartenmaterial vo(URL HIDDEN)M-APs verlassen. Man findet zwar die richtige Straße, aber man wird viel zu weit der Straße navigiert. Das ist bei einer Buddha-Statue gegen über. Ansonsten ein sehr toller Aufenthalt. Dort sind zwei Mitarbeiter die sich um das Anwesen und unteranderem um die Gäste kümmern. Man hat die Möglichkeit sich bekochen zu lassen. Das Preisleistungsverhältnis ist super und das Essen ebenfalls. Einer der beiden Mitarbeiter erzählte mir, dass er das Kochen gelernt hat. Für alle Naturliebhaber ist auch der wunderschöne und gepflegte Garten von Interesse. Ich bin dabei voll auf meine Kosten gekommen, da ich sehr gerne fotografiere. Man kann dort auch einfach so Urlaub machen zum entspannen. Hätten wir im Vorfeld gewusst, das es dort so schön ist, hätten wir sicherlich ein Paar Tage mehr gebucht. Danke nochmals an die beiden Mitarbeiter.
