The whole experience was impressive and after having stayed in many hotels in Sri Lanka, this is definitely one if the best. The sounds of the rainforest at night and the lake view in the morning amplified the experience. Staff was very helpful and gave great guidance beyond the cliches.

We stayed at the Arambhaya Boutique Hotel for two nights and had a wonderful stay. The room was very spacious with a lot of attention to detail, the hotel was very clean and modern, quiet with a beautiful garden. The hospitality, friendliness and service of the staff was outstanding and the best we ever experienced in a hotel.

Gregor

From

Our bicycle journey around Sri Lanka has a stop in a Kandy too. A city that should not be missed on your Sri Lanka trip as also a place called Galkaduwa360 Villa in the middle of city with a 360 view an all of it. What makes place even more home like is an owner Susantha which is always ready for help and conversation, good company and fun. So that is probably also the one more reason why we prolonged our one night stay in to two nights. The place is cosy, very clean and modern arranged. With A/C, great WI-FI, 360 city view and a lot more. Don,t miss Kandy and take a rest in heaven's place Galkaduwa360 Villa. Highly reccomended by Gregor and Staš.

We had such a lovely time here. The room is spacious, clean and the bed is super comfortable. We did the cooking class and it was a blast, the lady is so fun :) The owner of the house and his family are so nice. Would definitely recommend a stay here, outside of the chaos of the city.

One of our favourite stays in Sri Lanka! An absolutely incredible guesthouse with the most lovely hosts, and crazy good value for money. We had a beautifully decorated room, and there were several hangout spots both indoors and outdoors that you were welcome to spend time in. The breakfasts/dinners are served al fresco under a pergola overlooking the valley with rice paddies and beautiful birdsong. One of the absolute highlights was the free cooking class to make your dinner - we made 4-5 different curries with our rice and curry order, with the most delightful chef patiently waiting for us to weakly shred fresh coconut to make sambal!! About a 10-15 min tuktuk ride into town for an explore, which was very reasonably priced. I'm so glad we stayed here a bit away from the centre of town rather than in the hustle and bustle of the city centre. The hosts are also so welcoming and lovely, and speak excellent English. They also helped organise transport for us to Nuwara Eliya to our next stay. This was a genuinely edenic experience and we would absolutely come stay here again on a future visit to Sri Lanka.
