A little way out of town, but easily a 40 minute walk (once you have your bearings and a good map!) or a150/200Rp tuk tuk. A little hidden gem, the front door can put you off but once you go in its enormous! Breakfast is fabulous, and the rooms are big enough, clean with mosquito nets. Shower is basic but... More

A lovely little guesthouse run by a lovely, friendly family. We recommend having the evening meal at the guest house. It was a assortment of traditional Sri Lankan curries. We especially enjoyed the potato curry. We stayed for 2 nights followed by another 1 night a few days later on our way back south. The rooms were nice, especially on... More

My husband and I spent a very memorable 3 days staying with Kumari and her husband at Madugalle Family Friendly Guest House in April. From the front of the property you would not expect to enter into such a charming residence,offering such an oasis of tranquility in Kandy. The guest house is very comfortable, clean and conveniently located for visiting... More

Could not have asked for more from the host Kumari. My wife and I are on our honeymoon and had a great stay here.

Altough she's high on tripadvisor, she's still a little insecure and we told her she doesn't have any reason to be. Her house is... More

The most special places we have stayed were not dependent on location or comfort but on the host and level of warmth. Vy at the Vy Khanh Guest in Ho Chi Minh (Vietnam) is one example and Kumari Madugalle at the Madugalle Friendly Family Guest House in Kandy is a Sri Lankan example. I booked well in advance, based on... More

Kumari is a wonderful host, staying at Madugalles was like visiting a favourite aunt. She sent a tuk tuk to the station to collect us on my request and we had a delicious dinner. The dining room is really lovely with lots of interesting antiques and family curios to look at while eating breakfast. The room we stayed in was... More

I stayed there for 3 nights in the middle of March. I took 2 kids without my husband and I was a little worried about organization of my trip in the first place . Kumari, the owner of this guesthouse, took care of us very well. She gave me many useful advises and arranged transportations so that we could do... More
