Very lovely people! Mahesh and his family opened their home to us and were very welcoming. We had some great conversations and felt truly at home. The room was simple but very clean and had everything we needed! There is a nice view from the balcony. Thank you Mahesh.

Amazing homestay with a lovely family! We felt welcomed straight away into their gorgeous home with a cup of tea. The views are very nice and great location for cafes/restaurants. We had a home cooked meal which was delicious, the best mango curry and sambol we’ve had in Sri Lanka! Room was very comfortable. It helped having the host’s cousin pick us up from the train station in his tuk tuk and show us a few of Kandy’s sights at affordable rate. Would definitely recommend for a lovely homestay experience!

This homestay is run by the sweetest family! As soon as I arrived they welcomed me into their home and couldn’t of been more helpful. Mahesh organised a city tour by tuk tuk for me, and the mother cooked me the best dinner and breakfast! After dinner we even went outside and lit some fireworks for the new years celebrations. The room and bathroom was great, and the view is amazing! Would highly reccomend staying here!

Nothing, perfect stay

The family is really welcoming and because of them we enjoyed our stay very much! Especially cooking with the family was really nice. Thanks!

The towels and bedding were clean but felt a bit old and tired. Also, as a tall person (194cm) the bed was a bit short and had a wooden end so wasn't the most comfortable.

Mahesh and his parents were excellent hosts, helping to organise our time in Kandy by sorting tours and drivers for us. The room itself was as listed, and the view form the balcony is incredible - a really nice place to relax!Mahesh's cousin Chinthaka does an excellent tour of the city. As a bonus, Mahesh and his parents helped to look after my girlfriend when she was ill, providing Sri Lankan remedies that helped a lot.

Very nice hosts, you immediately feel welcome at this home stay. Since I had to leave early the next morning they made me a packed breakfast, thank you very much. It's walking distance from the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, which was very convenient for me. Also the cousin with his tuktuk is very friendly and provides good service. Thanks again!

Mahesh and his home were the best welcome to Sri Lanka for us! The home stay, which has fabulous views from the balcony, is located a 15 min walk from the centre, an easy & enjoyable walk for us. It felt safe all times of day. Mahesh and his parents were very friendly, and extremely accommodating. The Sri Lankan breakfast was AMAZING and always delicious! They even made us a packed one to take when we had an early start (as pictured). We used Mahesh’s cousin Chamila for his Tuktuk services each of our 4 days there, he’s lovely & very affordable; he took us on a tour of kandy, all the way to Sigiryia with lots of cool pit stops, and even collected us from random locations we hiked to 🤣 Mahesh Mother’s cooking is outstanding, we recommend you spend an evening meal & watching the cooking process at theirs! If you are looking for an authentic, friendly place to learn about Kandy from its locals, this is the place for you! We had no issues at all and can’t wait to return in the future…and tell all of our friends and family to visit!!

Everything was great

The hospitality of Mahesh was extraordinary. He is super friendly, he explained everything well, organized the tour and tuktuk for a reasonable price and was over punctual when we wanted to start early and agreed on breakfast time. We could see that he and his family are putting their hearts to make you feel like home🏠

Mahesh and his family were wonderful. I think I had the best cup of tea I have ever had. The room was comfy and clean. We loved our stay, we could not recommend it more.

The way up to the house isnt very comfotable yet

The Homestay is operated by a heartfelt loving host family. You feel welcome immediately and home. The rooms are pleasantly organized. Especially the light-flooded common room with dining table and arms lines for reading is inviting. From the terraces you have a view view to the Knuckle mountains. Mahesh is a helpful organizational talent, the mother prepares for breakfast, as well as tasty local food on request. I felt very comfortable in this Homestay.

Very friendly family, incredible views over Kandy and well located - a 20 min walk or short tuk tuk ride into town. Bedroom was clean and had everything we needed.

This is a great homestay! The room is compact, but you have everything that you need at a great price. The breakfast was delicious and it was great speaking with the family about Sri Lanka and things to do around Kandy. They were very helpful in getting us a Tuktuk to the bus stand and gave us a walking shortcut to the sacred tooth relic. I highly recommend!

The view was perfect.

Nothing!

We had a fantastic stay here. We were immediately welcoming in by host and family. It’s in a peaceful location, away from busy and loud town centre which was a great escape for us. The hosts kindly provided a delicious breakfast and we would absolutely stay here again.

There was nothing we didn't like - everything was as expected from a Sri Lankan homestay. If you are looking for 5 star luxuries then perhaps this is not the place for you, however if you are an open-minder traveller who values real connection with local people and can go without your super plush towels for a night or two then you will love Dreamscape Homestay!

Mahesh and his family are wonderfully warm hosts and it was a privilege to be welcomed into their home. We especially loved being invited to watch his mum and sister cook us a delicious dinner of curry and rice, and the interactions with his nephew who was visiting at the time. A real authentic homestay experience and one of our favourite memories from our time in Sri Lanka!
