For two days, I felt at home! The owner isn't your typical businessman who's just out to make a profit, but a sweet and warm person who cares about your experience. He cooks excellent traditional Sri Lankan dishes and can give you all the tips you need on the most unmissable places to visit in the city and the country. I would come back here a thousand and one nights. Thank you for everything!

The hostel itself is great and surrounded by nature, offering the perfect escape from Kandy’s bustle. My bed was a very large single. What truly set this experience apart was Asanka he was an incredible host and immediately made you feel at home. He took me on a private tour of Kandy, revealing hidden gems I’d never have found on my own. His deep knowledge and genuine care made it unforgettable. If you’re seeking an authentic and memorable stay in Kandy, I couldn’t recommend this hostel and Asanka more. His kindness and attention to detail are unmatched.

A Pleasant Surprise at Palm Garden!
We booked Palm Garden without checking any reviews—only afterward did we take a look and feel a bit unsure. My husband even told me not to say anything about the booking, just to see how it was when we got there. But to our surprise, from the moment we arrived, everything was wonderful.
At the doorstep, we were greeted by Madu at reception, who welcomed us with the warmest smile—as if we had known her for years! 😊
Our room was spotlessly clean, very spacious, with a large comfortable bed and a lovely balcony overlooking a beautiful view. It was clear that the staff really care about maintaining a high standard.

Definitely the best stay we had in Sri Lanka. An idyllic and beautiful place we’ve only seen in the movies so far. The hosts are super lovely and recommended us things to do and places to eat at that are authentic and charge local prices. Definitely drive with the host’s go-to Tuk Tuk driver Gehan. He is super sweet and careful of your safety in Kandy plus you won’t find any cheaper Tuk Tuk anyway. All in all 10/10.
The value you get in this property is the best so far I've had for a hostel/dorm. It came with free breakfast and dinner! It had hot water, AC and free towels. Although the facility itself is not "vibey", it is clean and comfortable located in a safe and pretty accessible from the main area/city center. You also do get to meet other people as dinner and breakfast are served along with other guests.
I had a very comfortable stay at the Queens mount Ridge Kandy. First of all it is value for the money. That was more than expected. Calm and safe environment. Even can recommend for a solo traveling girl. Friendly staff. Clean and the hotel is build to get maximum natural sunlight which is really cool. I like the rooftop pool and the seating area. Beautiful mount and city view. Closer to city. Overall 5 stars budget hotel.
Not far from the train and the bus stations, this place is a old house rehabilited in an hostel. It's really beautiful and in perfect condition ! I've felt living luxury for a cheap price ! And the hosts are always available to help you whatever the moment of the day or night with good advices.
The host was very welcoming and provided us with lots of great suggestions on where to eat in the Kandy area. The room and bathroom facilities were exceptionally clean and overall the hostel is positioned in a great location, only a 10 min walk from the station and 15 mins walk from Kandy Lake
Great location and amazing views over Kandy from the rooftop pool. It was everything you'd expect from a luxury hotel (we are normally budget travellers but splurged for a couple of nights!) Breakfast was exceptional, a full buffet/help yourself to as much as you want - the french toast was a particular highlight! The staff were also extremely helpful and quick with everything.
The staff very helpful and guide me greatly, the beds super clean and fortunately not bunk beds. The area of the hostel feels like your own home. Highly recommend
I have no hesitation in saying this - it is the best hostel to stay if you’re in Kandy! Very social, aforable doggos, value for money, lovely hosts and great location. I would go back again and again!
