    We appreciated having access to two bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a washing machine and space to dry our clothes in the apartment. We had lovely hot showers everyday, and found the apartment very spacious. The owners provided breakfast each morning at a time to suit us. We had omelettes, fresh fruit and toast for breakfast, which was nice. The apartment is a short distance from the centre of Kandy. A tuk tuk ride to the centre, costs approximately 300 rupees. The family are very warm and friendly. We would definitely recommend the apartment. As tourists visiting Sri Lanka, we found rupees was the best form of payment. We were turned down frequently, when trying to use either apple pay or our bank. We recommend you travel with rupees.

    The best experience ever so far in Srilanka. The hosts are highly genuine and educated people, very warm and kind hearted and accomodating. The food that was organised, the timing was increadible. We could choose between continental or Srilankan dishes. The location of the place couldnt be better, overlooking rainforest park from one side. The sounds of cykades in the evening and roosters in the morming in the city is something that cannot be found i any other city I guess?! Rooms are airy and spacious with beautiful views and the kitchen to high standard. A pleasure to spend afternoons and evenings!!!

    Very spacious apartment, which was very comfortable for our family of 5. The location is central behind the Grand Kandyan hotel. The hosts are super friendly and go out of their way to ensure you are comfortable. Excellent communications all through. The breakfast is excellent. We truly appreciated the fact that they provided us with breakfast at 6.30 am, as we had a early start on our last day and even dropped us at the station! The provision of a washing machine in the apartment was very handy. Overall, I would highly recommend this homestay in Kandy. Thank you for a great stay!

    Everything was great. Spacious cozy rooms, breathtaking Mountain View, amazing host. Monkeys were fun to observe :) The flat is equipped with everything you need, if you need anything extra (things, advice, help, hints&tips), feel free to ask Raj, he’s hospitable beyond imaginable. Best host in Sri Lanka (and he speaks good English, which is rare here). Thanks a lot, only warm memories of our stay. If you want to have the best experience in Kandy, look no further.

    We would recommend anyone that is visiting Kandy to stay at Hansons Homestay. Raj & his family were the most kind and welcoming hosts that we’ve had. They were always on hand to help with anything that we asked for as well as everything that we didn’t need to ask for. The location is perfect, close enough to Kandy centre to get around easily and far enough away for some peace and quiet. It really was perfect. Thank you so much again, Raj.

    Mr. Raj and family did their utmost in making our stay as comfortable as possible, which was absolutely heart-warming and left us with a positive lasting impression of Kandy in general. In addition to being accommodating, the apartment is well-maintained and comfortable, with all required amenities present and above par. Highly recommendable especially for a group of friends or families.

    Our stay at Hansons was really nice or I would say great!!!! The apartment was very clean with three bedrooms and two washrooms (there is one extra near the staircase) for 7 people and had everything like a washing machine, TV, pantry area, cooking appliances etc. The breakfast we received was homemade and delicious. Just a 5-10 minute walk to the city from the apartment and easily accessible. The host Raj was very kind, warm and helpful. We had a nice stay. Thank you.

    The apartment doesn't have air conditioning, only fans. It was fine for us though.

    Great place to stay with a big company - the apartment has many beds and bedrooms, kitchen and two showers. The apartment was clean and comfortable. Raj is a very helpful host, he did everything to make our stay comfortable. Raj and his wife cook great breakfasts and bring local goodies which were great. One of the showers has mountains view.

    The accommodation was exceptionally clean and spacious! We were very satisfied with the standard. The hosts were very kind and helpful in showing us around and letting us park for free. They even supplied us with washing powder for our clothes. The breakfast was exceptional. Half of my family were vegetarian and the other were non-vegetarian and the breakfast was cooked for both dietary needs. I would definitely visit again. They had two bathrooms which was very useful for a big group. We were very happy with our stay and would highly recommend
