Beautifully designed old home on a lush plantation with a fabulous pool, gorgeous decor, private verandahs, incredible food, and wonderful service and attention by the staff. It was like being the guest at a friend's home, rather than like being a hotel patron. Great ayurvedic massage. Wine at dusk on the lawn with huge fruit bats flying overhead. Amazing memories... more

On a lunch time visit I was impressed by the peaceful beauty of the surroundings and the quality of the renovation by a famous firm of Sri Lankan architects of this hundred year old manor house building while installing spacious modern ensuite bedrooms open to quiet patios and cool air from the garden. The food I enjoyed was nouvelle cuisine... more

There are few hotels that we would rate 10/10 in the world, but the Kandy House is certainly one of them. Tania and all the staff went out of there way to make our honeymoon so magical: from the moment we arrived, the service was faultless, warm and welcoming. The hotel itself is situated just outside of Kandy, set within... more

We stayed here during the Kandy Perahera. Although its about a 25 minute drive from the centre of Kandy, the gardens and view from the pool were lovely & more than made up for the distance. Also, Kandy in Perahera gets incredibly busy so it was nice to be slightly away from the madding crowd. The Hotel itself is located... more

We have just returned from a 2 week trip to Sri Lanka in which we stayed in 5 different places, and we have to say that the Kandy House was the most disappointing. It's nice enough- the setting is stunning and the pool looks beautiful (though unfortunately we couldn't use it as we had rain the whole time we were... more

I have just been to stay for one night and was so thrilled to find this Kandyan gem! The staff are really helpful and smiley and bring you cool fresh juice cocktails when you arrive. The food and wine surpasses anything I have ever found anywhere in Sri Lanka - even in Colombo. You can really see the fact that... more

It has taken me a while to write this but I wanted to do it so that others don’t make the same mistake we did. Although a nice hotel, with comfortable furnishings and a secluded swimming pool, it is not a good choice for people exploring Kandy and has several major downsides. It is tucked quite out of the way,... more

We spent one night here as part of our honeymoon. The hotel is a good 20 minute drive from Kandy but when you get there it's worth it - it's an old colonial house with a lovely open courtyard area in the middle, with a fab infinity pool in the gardens. Our room was beautiful, as were the other rooms... more

We wanted something different from the typical 4 or 5 star chain hotels for our honeymoon and Kandy House ticked every boxes - and even exceeded our high expectations. When we arrived after a very long and tiring day through Sri Lanka's ancient cities, we were greeted by the staffs (with a very nice Passion Fruit cocktail that my new... more
