Reviews of SUNSET HILLS

The best homestay ever! The room was spotlessly clean, spacious, and had everything we could possibly need. The beds were super comfortable, and the bathroom had the best shower we experienced during our entire trip in Sri Lanka. Even though we arrived late and asked last-minute if dinner was possible, they still managed to cook us a delicious meal — and with the biggest portions! We also had breakfast there on two mornings, and it was hands down the best breakfast of our trip. There were so many varieties, lots of fresh fruits and homemade food — you could feel the warmth and care in every bite, like a mother’s touch. The whole place felt like staying at our grandma’s home, we felt as we are part of the family. They helped us with everything we needed, gave great recommendations, and were incredibly kind and thoughtful. They also have a lovely, friendly dog that added even more charm to the experience. We woke up to the sound of birdsong each morning, and the view from the balcony was simply beautiful. We truly wish we could’ve stayed longer.

Breakfast and dinner were amazing. Best food we had so far

Neighbour's dog barking

Comfortable bed. Large room.

Location is difficult to find. The host has to let you in and out to park. Barking dog.

At the top of the hill with a great view the house is amazing. The owners are very kind. Its that place where you go and feel like home while you recharge yourself with energy

We wish to extend a big thank you to the hosts who helped us overcome a travel problem when we realised we had made an error with our flight bookings. They calmly cooked us dinner and helped us organise transport to the airport in Colombo very quickly when we realised we were at risk of missing our flight. Than you 🙏

This homestay was amazing💥👍. Wipul has created a little piece of heaven on Earth. My welcome was warm, and I immediately felt comfortable upon my arrival. The house is beautiful and immaculate, with lots of natural light from skylights and large windows. The room I stayed in was immaculate. It was spacious, and the bed, linens, and pillows were extremely comfortable. The room had an air-conditioner, a fan, and a mosquito net over the large double bed. The bathroom had a modern walk-in shower, a separate basin, and toilet, and all fixtures and tiles were modern and aestically pleasing. There was a separate tea and coffee station with a kettle, tea/ coffee/ sugar, and fresh filtered water. The property is situated high in the hills of Kandy with spectacular views and is surrounded by lush, green vegetation. A delicious breakfast of an assortment of fruit and Ceylon Tea was provided. The bedside table lamps were a lovely addition and a light, fluffy blanket made for a most comfortable night's rest in the airconed room.

This does not relate directly to the property, but the stray, street dogs started barking at 5 am and woke me up. They stopped barking as soon as the sun rose, so I was able to fall asleep again! This is not the property's concern though.

The owner and his wife are so friendly and kind..so helful..nice location and very clean and comfy Highly recommend..🙏

This accommodation was exactly as shown in the pictures. It was spotlessly clean, spacious and comfortable and the views from the balcony were fantastic. The entire property was beautifully decorated throughout and the hosts only too willing to help with advice. We had a huge bag of laundry done whilst there and it came back pristine and beautifully folded. Some form of transport is required as it is up steep hills a few KM from the city. We saw this as a positive because it afforded great views during one thunderstorm we experienced and also allowed for a very peaceful sleep.

Very very nice hosts, who helped to plan and organise our time in Kandy. Very good meals, very nice AC room with view. Here you are in a cooler and quiet area high above Kandy. By TukTuk it is a 20 minutes ride (2 US) to Kandy.

Everything is fine, if you accept to be in a cooler and quieter area high above Kandy.

Amazing hosts, even better bed and shower. Brilliant stay.

Hard where to start! The house is amazing, really nice rooms too, also hot and good shower! Breakfast and dinner are delicious, I wanted and got typical Sri Lankan food. I could take free, filtered water and fruits anytime. I also liked the kettle in the room. The family and their peaceful dog are precious and so helpful. The location was perfect for me, a bit uphill but easy to reach with bus or tuktuk. Great view from the balcony! It’s close to the Royal botanic garden (high recommendation) and also to the Ceylon Tea museum. Over all a premium stay in Sri Lanka, think it was the best from the past 7 apartments I booked in Sri Lanka!

If something is to mention here then maybe that it is a bit outside of kandy. For me actually it was a bonus point, Kandy is loud and busy and you can reach the center of Kandy for around 2€ with a tuktuk very quick or by bus even cheaper.

Very comfortable with everything that you could possibly need available. Very hospitable hosts Outstanding food/ breakfast and by arrangement dinner was very special, with exceptional taste

Contact the property BEFORE arriving because if you drive Google takes you on a very steep and narrow road

The host was very helpful and kind and the breakfast was excellent, the rooms were very clean and nice.

Our stay at the accommodation, although short (we were just passing through), was very pleasant. Starting with the kindness of the owners, who accommodated us with a late check-in that wasn’t initially planned and prepared an excellent meal for us that evening. The rooms are very good, spacious, and impeccably clean. We really enjoyed the experience and highly recommend it.

Lovely family. Amazing food. Definitely recommend breakfast and dinners. The location is gratefully away from kandy central. This is perfect for travellers feeling the need for calm and quiet during evenings, to be ready for bustling city sightseeing. Great walks in area as well.

Beautiful friendly hosts. Delicious abundant breakfast. Wonderful views and palm framed sunsets. Altogether wonderful.

We had a lovely night here. Wipul and his family (and Girlie the dog) were so welcoming, even recording perahera on tv for us to watch with him over breakfast! The room was tidy and very comfortable, with a beautiful view, and breakfast was delicious. Overall amazing value for money. I'd strongly recommend a stay here to anyone.

The view was amazing, also the bed was extremely comfortable and Wipul and his family made the stay very cozy due to their friendliness.

Nothing was all good

Perfect homestay just outside of Kandy on the hillside. Very spacious and well-equipped rooms with a great view from the balcony. Very friendly hosts who serve great food and have interesting conversations with the guests. I was given excellent help while I was ill. This place is highly recommended and we would come back anytime.

The hosts were extremely helpful and friendly. We really felt at home during our stay. The room was sparkling clean and had a balcony with a view. The hosts cooked delicious local food for us which was one of the best meals we have had for a long time!

The WiFi could have been faster at times.

Definitely a 4 star Hotel room in a private house. Can't praise this room enough. Everything perfect. Very pleasant hosts, very good breakfast. We felt totally at home there and would book it again.

It is on one of Kandy's hills . Tuktuk can do it but the road Google maps suggests is very steep. There is a better road and even a bus stop just at the corner.

This was without a doubt the BEST place in Sri Lanka that we stayed in during our 4 weeks here. I don’t know where to start! The family who run this home stay were beyond kind and accommodating and provided us with the BEST food ever. The breakfast was unbelievable and abundant - we had mentioned we like hoppers and roti so they ensured we had them! It was so good that we had to get dinner and lunch here as well. It was so reasonably priced considering we amount of food and dessert which was included. It was genuinely the best curry we had in Sri Lanka. The accommodation itself is located in a lovely part of kandy, outside of the hustle and bustle and above the palm trees. This was perfect for us as we wanted somewhere quiet to relax and it was quick and cheap to get a pick me tuktuk to the centre / all of the other locations in Kandy. The rooms were absolutely beautiful. The bed was huge and so comfortable with big mosquito nets provided. This was also the nicest bathroom we had during our stay in Sri Lanka. The shower had perfect temperatures and the best pressure. We also loved the lamps in the bathroom and bedroom which made for nice mood lighting and was much preferable than the usual 1 clinical ceiling light which most other home-stays had (just little things like this made the stay perfect!). The view from the balcony was absolutely gorgeous too, especially to enjoy the sunset. You can’t beat it. We also loved the beautiful ceramic carving in the main room and also cuddles with their family dog, Girly.

Nothing!

We are very sad when we found out that not many people book this place because of its distance to the city centre. Sunset Hills had one of the most beautiful rooms we have ever stayed in in Sri Lanka and a very modern bathroom. The balcony is also very cute and the host made big efforts to provide us with breakfast we like. Eventhough we only steayed for one night, it was a very beautiful experience and we definitely recommend this place!!❤️
