Reviews of Kandy Food Lovers Home Stay by AGS

The best stay I’ve ever had! As the name suggests, “Food Lovers” is the perfect description because the meals here are truly the tastiest I’ve ever enjoyed during a stay. We were served real homely Sri Lankan cuisines, made with so much love and care. A special thanks to Grandma, who cooked those delicious meals (though sadly she isn’t in the picture). Sudheesh and his family welcomed us like their own, and they even treated our baby with so much affection it felt just like being at home. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and very clean, which made our stay even more pleasant. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kandy, and I will definitely visit again for sure! 🌿✨

Breakfast was delicious and plentiful! Location was remote but beautiful. Easy tuk tuk ride to town. Hosts very friendly and helpful, especially Nandy and her wonderful cooking class.

Nothing. All good.

You'll find peace here. The homestay is situated deep inside a village surrounded by dense forest and run by a beautiful family. Definitely a place for food lovers, credits to the chef!

The staff members were very kind. The ladies whipped us up a delicious lunch when we arrived hungry. The staff also arranged tuktuks for us to our various activities.

Room smelled a bit musty

Yea, it is a bit out of the city and but why would you stay in Kandy in the center where it is noisy and busy ? Room was spotless clean and er y cozy. Food was delicious. We enjoyed our stay a lot.

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted not just as guests, but truly as friends. The warmth and hospitality of Sudesh’s family made this one of the most memorable stays of our trip. The food was absolutely delicious – all home-cooked meals prepared with love by the owner’s family, and every bite felt like a taste of authentic Sri Lankan home life. The guesthouse is located a little outside the busy town of Kandy, which turned out to be a big plus – peaceful, quiet, and surrounded by nature, making it a perfect retreat after a day of sightseeing. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the entire atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. We left with full hearts (and stomachs!), and we would return in a heartbeat. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a genuine and heartwarming stay in Kandy!

Second time in this little paradise, we came back almost on purpose only to spend more time with Sudesh, Nandi and the whole family. Amazing place, very very clean, outside of the busy Kandy, huge breakfast included, the most comfortable rooms. This time we did a cooking class with Nandi which was one the highlights of our trip! Don’t miss this experience ♡ Here you’ll find the best curry of all Sri Lanka! Thank you Sudesh and the whole family for welcoming us so kindly again! See you soon ♡

The hospitality at Kandy Food Lovers is the highest level ever ♡ We felt at home all the time! Sudesh, Nandi and the whole family welcomed us so warmly, it’s THE place you would never leave. Besides, the rooms are super cozy, lovely decorated, big and comfortable beds, the cleanest place we have been in a month in Sri Lanka. The position is a bit outside of the chaos of Kandy, which means peace, surrounded by green, in a very quiet piece of heaven. You’ll get all the information and help needed to reach the place with constant and good communication via WhatsApp or call. During our stay, Sudesh took care of us since we got a problem with the tuk tuk we rented and he spent the whole morning with us, getting our vehicle to two mechanics and contacting the rental company for us. We have no words to thank him for the pleasant stay and the great help and wonderful hospitality we received. Sudesh and his family are AMAZING people and we wish all the best ♡

Comfy

Nothing

Amazing place - this may be the best place I stay in Sri Lanka. It is not in city center but is a short tuk tuk ride away. The room is lovely, the bed huge and comfortable (best night sleep!) and the grounds are lovely (great for catching up on travel / life admin in a great setting). The food they served was fantastic. All in all I really loved my stay here and it the value for the cost was phenomenal.

The bathroom hose was a bit too powerful...

Super relaxing and comfortable. Our hosts were amazing and accomodating. Food was incredible! We even met our hosts friends who were lovely and lots of fun!! The best stay so far

The room was clean, calm and had a nice terrace. Whatever we needed, for example, cutlery, dishes, hot water, we got it. The host and his family were incredibly nice and the breakfast was extensive and tasty.

The location: it's outside town, so you definitely need a Tuk Tuk or a scooter to get there. Public busses only pass the main road, which is about a 25 minutes walk away from the accommodation. It's even more tricky to get away from the accommodation, as PickMe does not work there. So you need a local, "regular" and thus way more expensive Tuk Tuk to get to the main road and to take a PickMe or bus from there on. For example, we payed the same amount of money from the accommodation to the main road as we did from Kandy city center to the accommodation with PickMe.

The whole place is rustic but functional, using tasteful wooden features, and had a great view and garden set in the jungle. The family were incredibly kind and attentive, making sure we always had everything we needed. The cooking class was OUT OF THIS WORLD, an absolute must do for anyone staying here or visiting. We were taught to make 8 different sri lankan curries and had more food than we could possibly eat. A truly authentic and brilliant experience.

Nothing.

We loved our stay here. The rooms are beautifully decorated, with a huge comfortable bed and warm shower. We enjoyed being away from the hustle and bustle of Kandy. We took part in a cooking class and ate some of the best food on our trip here. The breakfast spread was incredible - a huge variety to choose from that introduced us to many Sri Lankan specialities - it really is the place for food lovers!

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.

The rooms were lovely and clean. The property is beautiful with surrounding trees. Hosts are helpful and friendly. Breakfast was delicious. Great value for money :)

The location was quite far from town so can be difficult to get tuks but we managed ok.

We had a great breakfast there and the host is absolutely nice. We could even do our laundry for a small fee. The rooms are modern and clean. Very good A/C

It was a bit hard to find as it isn’t in city center BUT our host helped us with some arrows on the streets. There were some insects in the drain/bathroom which is not uncommon in Sri Lanka.

This homestay was honestly 10/10 perfect! Beautiful big rooms, extremely comfortable beds, lovely atmosphere and garden. You are greeted by the warmest family and we were lucky enough to spend the afternoon with their eldest son and friends at a special place in the village. We had dinner there at night prepared by Sudesh’s wife and wow! We ate like kings! Some of the best food in Sri Lanka. This was the end of our trip and we would love to say a huge thank you to Sudesh and his family for hosting us, it was very special. We did the cooking class as well and I can’t recommend it enough. Sudesh organised transport for us as well which was amazing. All up this place can’t be faulted, THANKYOU!

Nothing - everything was perfect.

Beautiful property, excellent breakfast

Very nice house with beautiful little garden. The room is furnished with great taste, the garden is full of flowers. The family is super nice and friendly, they treated my daughter as their own. They also organize cooking classes, which I absolutely recommend: it is taking place in an authentic kitchen with traditional utensilies, and is the owner's mom who teaches you about spices, local vegetables, and how to cook some very tasty Sri Lankan meal. She is great! Breakfast is an amazing selection of local dishes, and it's plenty. Our host was also very nice, ready to help with anything, explaining about culture and what to see in Kandy. He helped with our laundry, organized for us tuktuk to the citiy, and took us to the train station when we were leaving. The whole family was very nice and attentive to our every need. The location is outside of Kandy, a bit far from the center, but because of this it is very quiet, and it's surrounded by nature. I highly recommend it! Even if you don't stay here, try the cooking class!

Everything was good.

Sedush and his family are kind, honest and caring people who do their best to make you feel comfortable and have a wonderful experience. Their home and two rooms are outside the main busy city, with a lovely garden. We’re glad we stayed for one night before doing the market tour and incredible cooking school with his mother.

Nothing

Phenomenal dinner and breakfast. Very beautiful and calm surroundings, the little houses are in excellent shape and the garden is peaceful. Owners are very friendly.
