This B&B is located up the hill from the Kandy Lake (no views), in an area with lots of B&B places like this one. 10-15 mins walk to 'the downtown'. The place is very professionally managed, thanks to the enthusiastic and friendly owners. I stayed at the "Penthouse Suite" - approx 35 USD. It was rather spartan, but perfectly adequate... more

Sarath and Nalini are what makes Freedom Lodge fantastic. They are great hosts and extremely knowledgable about Kandy and the rest of Sri Lanka. My dad and I stayed there for a couple of nights recently and loved it. As my dad put it, it's like visiting family without the hassle! The rooms are large, clean and comfortable. The food... more

A family run private lodge with a great host couple who makes you feel part of the family. They have clean, spacious rooms with excellent bathrooms, they can inform you about things all over Sri Lanka, they serve a great outdoor breakfast and seem not to do this just for the money, like, unfortunately, many other Srilankans. 2200 rupies per... more

We had an amazing impression of Freedom Lodge from the very first day. Sarath also runs a taxi service and agreed to pick us from our previous guest house. To make sure we got to see as much as we possible could he got up at 4:30am to travel across the island to pick us up just as we finished... more

We stayed at the Freedom Lodge for two nights in October. I would recommend this guest house if you are looking for clean, comfortable and inexpensive accomodation. We enjoyed having dinner with the couple that ran the guest house on both nights and they were both friendly and attentive, the food was home cooked and tasty. Only problem was that... more

Stayed 2 nights recently on our 2 week trip. Chose Freedom lodge due to reviews on tripadvisor and as we were choosing a variety of accomodation styles we thought this was the best place to try a guesthouse. Difficult to review against the other forms of accomodation we stayed in. It is cheap, clean and cheerful. Nalini was great to... more

My partner and i spent 2 nights at Freedom Lodge. Sarath and Nalini were very efficient and helpful via email when i was arranging our trip. Sarath organised for us to be collected from the airport by his friend Domingo who is an excellent, safe and likeable driver. Our room on the top floor was simple but clean and came... more

Freedom Lodge came highly recommended and we were not disappointed . Sarath and Nalini were excellent hosts , they could not do enough to help... more

Staying with Sarath and Naleni at Freedom Lodge was the best thing we did. The welcome, the food, the accomodation and the good advice we received,made our stay in Sri Lanka so pleasant. We advise anyone visiting Sri Lanka to pass by and visit them. Our holiday would not have been the same without them. more
