Super friendly and helpful staff. They cleaned the pool every morning for us and was very helpful with all of our questions. Furthermore the cooking class was cozy and informative with delicious food ofc.

One of the best hostels I've stayed at in Sri Lanka! Such a nice family vibe. The dinners are amazing. There is a pool!! You can easily walk to the city centre (or take the local bus). I loved exploring Kandy from this place. The family running the hostel is amazing, super friendly and helpful. And I met a lot of nice other backpackers here.

Great value for money, staff were so friendly and helpful with organising activities and day tours! Dinner was great and cooking class was really interesting! Nice to have a pool and communal area was nice and sociable. Walking distance to centre of kandy which was also great!
