Smoking friendly holiday rentals in Kandy Lake

eranga and his brother is the best host during our entire stay in sri lanka.view from the balcony is beautiful. room and living room is spacious.rooms are clean

We loved staying so close to nature! We spend almost two weeks here. It’s situated right on the edge of the Udawatta sanctuary, so monkeys visited us quite a few times which was nice to see! It’s not far from the city but when we went food shopping we took the tuktuk back and it cost us around 200 LKR. So if you want something private, calm but also walkable to the centre, this is it. Just mind that it’s close to the forrest and not much light goes in through the trees. But on the other hand the temperature in the apartment was nice due to the location. There’s no need for AC but there’s a fan if you need it. The kitchen has some amenities like rice cooker and smoothie maker. But it could maybe use a bit more cutlery like a new wooden spoon, but things like pan and pots were really good. The WiFi was perfect, no problem with that.

Fazly is truely an exceptional host who went above and beyond throughout our stay. The accomodation was spotless, and those balcony views just stunning. We ate delicious breakfast and dinner made by his wife on the balcony which saved us having to go out. We were really made to feel at home, more than any Airbnb previously visited. 10 out of 10, if you are visiting Kandy look nowhere else.

I stayed at Riverside for 3 weeks and it was a great stay. The apartment is situated a few km out of Kandy in a small village, which is great as you get to experience real Sri Lankan life, I found the villagers very friendly, often stopping to chat to me. The bus to Kandy is just 10 mins walk away. The apartment is lovely, very spacious and with a wonderful large balcony perfect for eating and working. There's an outside plug so you can plug in your laptop. Hiran and family are lovely, Hiran is happy to help with any problems and the breakfast cooked by his wife is delicious and different most days. I'd definitely recommend this apartment and I'd stay again also being a solo woman traveller I felt safe at all times.

Thank you Prasad for having us at your beautiful house. It was a pleasure working with Prasad. He was always responsive and was easy to communicate with. He made sure we felt at home and all our needs are met. The house is beautiful and spacious. The security was also very nice and helpful. If you’re looking for a safe and cozy place, this is it. I would recommend this house anytime. Thank you Prasad for everything.

We rented this place for 2 weeks and it was amazing. Hosts were really helpful and friendly. Place is very clean and all interior and furnitures were very comfortable. Situated in a very clam place perfect for long holiday with family

A great apartment within easy walking distance of the lake and temple. The hosts were super friendly, and the accommodation was very clean—we felt right at home and spontaneously extended our stay! Due to the thin Styrofoam gaps at the top of the walls, we occasionally heard some noise from traffic, monkeys, or between our own rooms. That said, we had no issues with mosquitoes or cold air, and we would happily book another stay with Lakmal and his wife!

A great stay in Kandy. About 20 minutes walk from the lake and about 10-15 minutes to the city. Very lovely and nice hosts :) and a super delicious breakfast! For tips in the area, the super nice manager Nimal is on hand and the housekeeper who lives in the house tries to make everything possible to make you feel at home. Thanks very much! Stuti! I'm sure we'll be back if we visit Sri Lanka again. Best regards from the whole family :)

The apartment is really beautyful, well equipped, clean and comfortable. Located in a very rural neighbourhood, yet really close to Kandy it's a good base for exploring the city. Drivers beware that you need strong nerves to get the car into the Garage on a very steep slope.

Clarence's place is just wonderful! It is very spacious, airy, light, comfy and beautiful. All our family enjoyed staying at Clarence. He is a great host, always responding quick and making the best to please his guests. The other members of Clarence's family must be mentioned too. They all are very polite, friendly and hospitable. The balcony, which better be called a terrace, is huge and the view is stunning. Everything is great, highly recommended for families and people who prefer tranquility over a busy city. To call a taxi we used "pick me" app. It is very cheap and useful.

This is a 147 year old bungalow, and the stay was simply fantastic. We loved everything about the house and the host was fantastic to stay awake late in the night to welcome us after a tiring day for us. I would highly recommend this place to others.

We had a really nice experience in this AirBnB. The owner and his brother were really kind and helpful! It’s even bigger than on the photos and has a nice view and very calm. You should know that there can be some insects like ants or mosquitos since it is directly surrounded by nature, which was no problem for us :)

The place is very beautiful, it is in a quiet and safe area. It is also close to the bus station, there is a very good supermarket, a stall where you can buy very fresh local fish. The accommodation is superlative, it's like a 5-star hotel, clean and spacious rooms, hot water in the bathroom at all times, a fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to cook. You practically have a house at your disposal with everything you need. And the view from the balcony is superb, where you can see all kinds of brightly colored birds and many squirrels. As for the hosts, they are friendly and very hospitable people, who helped us in everything we needed (information about the place, tourist routes). I had all the privacy. We felt at home. I highly recommend, if you come here you won't regret it. It is a place where I will return if I visit Sri Lanka. I can say that everything you see in the presentation is real, it looks even better than in the pictures.

We really enjoyed our stay. The room is fantastic and really large. Also a big bathroom. Breakfast was great, we went for the Sri Lanka option. Really friendly and helpful. Top stay.

Individual rooms in a modern new apartment on the upper floor of a medical building. New furnishings, bedding and drapes. Very clean and comfortable space. Ideal for individuals and families. Dileep, his family and staff are extraordinary kind and helpful and also friendly. Dileep actually drove me to the bus stop and waited with me till the bus to Vavuniya showed up. Great value for the money.

The place was perfect, the location was excellent, very easy to walk down to the city via the walking road shortcut. The view was amazing, all of the amenities were as described. The only thing to note is the host is not onsite so needs 20 minutes notice of your arrival to meet you. No big deal as long as you’re aware of it

Spacious, clean flat with a balcony overlooking the river and some lovely furnishings and art work. Responsive host and lovely caretaker. We especially appreciated the assistance with transport to Kandy from the airport, the solid breakfast, and the late checkout. Within tuk tuk distance but mercifully removed from the hustle and bustle of the city center.
