I had a wonderful time at this homestay, the hosts were very warm and hospitable and the accommodation itself is comfortable and homely. The location is in a leafy suburb of Galle and bus transportation to the main bus station is easy and continues until around 10pm. A tuk tuk from the centre of town is less than two dollars. The beautiful beach at Unawatuna is easily reached within 30-40 minutes by bus for less than a dollar. The hosts provided me with a lot of ideas about where to visit in the Southern Province and about how to get there. They did not try to convince me to take a taxi everywhere and respected the fact that I liked to take the bus and train. They were also kind enough to pick me up and drop me off at the bus station. I would highly recommend this homestay as a base to explore the surrounding area and experience life in Sri Lanka. I felt very welcomed into the host's family and as I was travelling alone, this made a big difference to how much I enjoyed visiting Sri Lanka.

I cannot recommend this homestay in Kandy highly enough. The home is comfortable and very clean and within a 20 minute walk of the attractive area around the Temple of the Tooth and a 10 minute walk from lovely walks in the Udawatta Kale Sanctuary. There are also economical and frequent buses that go downtown or to the bus and rail stations just a short walk down the hill. The hosts Nayanananda and Menaka were very warm and helpful to me during my first few days in Sri Lanka and this made my visit to Kandy particularly enjoyable. I gained a great deal talking to them about different aspects of Sri Lankan life and realise that I would never have had the chance of gaining this experience if I had stayed in a hotel.
