A lovely homestay in the hills just above the centre of Kandy. A little difficult to find but only five minutes in a taxi from the train station. Friendly, welcoming couple and a very tasty breakfast. Highly recommended.

It's on a plateau, so the view is great. The air is great, and the refreshing breeze feels good. The rooms are very clean, and the staff are friendly. I would recommend this hotel. It's on a plateau, so there are a lot of steep hills. If you try to call a tuk-tuk via Uber, you may be refused. The owner was kind enough to take me to town.

Very Good
Posted on Feb 7, 2024
Hygiene: Good, but there are big cockroaches more than an inch long. Environment: Very good, built against the mountain, you can see the scenery of the town. Service: Very good, if you want to wash clothes, you can give it to the landlord, but there is no self-service laundry service. Facilities: Average, the water heater is a storage water heater, the capacity is very small, not enough for one person to wash, and it needs to be preheated for 20 minutes, and each person has to wait for 20 minutes.

8.4 In the morning, I woke up to the beautiful chirping of birds. I was in a viewing room in a mountain village near Kandy, Sri Lanka. The room was clean, tidy, and tastefully decorated. The owner of this house was hospitable and kind. She was hardworking, capable, and tasteful. Looking at her family photo, she had three children. Her eldest son had graduated from college in Australia. The second child was a 21-year-old daughter who worked as a clerk in Kandy. The third was a son who was in school. At 5:45 in the morning, I heard the sound of rain in the mountains through the window. Soon the rain stopped, and then there were crisp bird calls, woodpecker sounds, ticking sounds from something, occasional dog barking, and other indescribable sounds. I couldn't wait to get dressed and ran to the balcony. On the balcony, I looked at the white city of Kandy and looked back at the mountains and green trees close to nature, feeling the fresh air, and the stars in the distance, the lights shining through the leaves.

Неплохой отель вдали от городской суеты, на такси( машине) везти не хотят из-за сложной дороги, только тук-тук. Отель предоставляет трансфер, но нужно договариваться заранее. Завтрак очень скудный, не наешься ( фрукты, немного лепестки, пусто рис и тост с джемом, повезёт будет маленькая яичница). Если поедете на экскурсии, берите с собой еду, не найдетесь на ланч-бокс, он просто никакой. Из хорошего, в отели можно заказать такси в Полоннарува, Дамбулла, Сигерия за 49$, цена очень хорошая. Хозяева очень приветливы, но не против немного обсчитать вас, будьте внимательны.

에어컨이 없어서 아쉬웠지만 고지대에 있어서 시원하고 아주 좋았습니다. 에어컨없이도 이정도 시원하다는게 정말 신기했어요! 다음에 캔디에 방문을 한다면 다시한번 오고 싶어요!! 큰계획없이 와서 질문을 많이했는데 사장님이 정말 친절했습니다! 감사합니다 It was unfortunate that there was no air conditioner, but it was cool and great to be in a high place. It was amazing that it was this cool without air conditioning! If I visit Candy next time, I want to come again!! I came here without any plans and asked a lot of questions, but the boss was really nice! Thank you エアコンがないのは残念でしたが、高いところにいて涼しくて最高でした。 エアコンなしでこんなに涼しいなんて、本当に驚きました! 次回、キャンディを訪れたら、また来たいと思います!! 何も考えずに来て質問をたくさんしましたが、社長は本当に親切でした! ありがとうございます。 Ex)그리고 여기서 보는 야경은 멋집니다.

這是一個非常有趣而且充滿活力的家庭。極具音樂以及藝術的氛圍。小朋友得到了女主人的樂器啟蒙。主人非常得體而且善於交談。早餐很新鮮。我會推薦有小朋友的家庭來這裏住幾晚。

急な坂の上にありますがそのおかげで排気ガスを感じず、バルコニーからの眺めと鳥の鳴き声が最高です。夕食は$8でした。家庭料理がとてもおいしかったです。

Bethel Rest homestay is ran by a sweet woman renting rooms out of her house. Service/hospitality: 5/5 Super sweet. Very helpful. Breakfast 5/5 She makes an excellent and plentiful breakfast! Location 4/5 It's up a big hill and using pickme app it usually cost around 200-300 to get up the hill. Room: 4/5 We stayed in the smallest double and and it was pretty small with a tiny bathroom. We did see the triple room and it was much bigger. I'd suggest paying the extra money for the triple to get more space and much more natural light. There is a nice shared patio that we enjoyed.

You should stay at least two days, possibly longer. The rooms are very spacious and bright and friendly, the location is great for discovering Kandy, and the breakfast is delicious. The family is very warm-hearted and knowledgeable about Kandy and Sri Lanka. We did the cooking class and can't wait to try out some of the dishes at home.

A well-presented mid-price family-run homestay in a leafy neighbourhood above Kandy. The 3 rooms are simple but comfortable, with private bathrooms, fans and aircon. The largest room has a private balcony; there is a shared terrace for other guests’ use. Tasty meals are available. The host family is helpful. To reach the guesthouse, you should be prepared for a 20-minute uphill walk from the town centre, or to hire a tuk-tuk: you will appreciate the calm and the clean air when you arrive.

A beautiful home and caring hosts is how I describe Bethel homestay. We stayed with Rasika and Dilini early last week. Our first day in Srilanka and had a wonderful time. The home is clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. Dilini and Rasika are loving hosts and food they prepare is the best you will have while in Srilanka. A must in your itinerary. We came back with great memories and already talking about our return 😃

We felt welcome from the first minute. It was great to be included in Rasjika and Dilini's home. What incredible welcoming and lovely people. We were there a few days before Christmas, which is the busiest time of the year for a pastor. And yet, all attention to us and our need. The food was delicious. We did a cooking workshop and before that together in shopping at the market. Learned a lot! Together, we attended a church service on Christmas Eve, then had a nice dinner out and once at home played cake, tea and games with the whole family. This was a Christmas Eve to remember. There were 5 of us as a family and when we had to say goodbye it was hard for us. Our youngest could barely hold back his tears, and that says enough about the 3 days we were able to share with this lovely family. Highly recommended to stay here when you want to learn about Sri Lanka and the people who live here. It is a totally different experience than a hotel, We would not have missed it for the world!

We had a wonderful time at the bethel rest homestay. The family is so sweet and nice and extremely helpful. It really was the best and coziest homestay on my trip. Our room had it’s own balcony and we saw kandy from the mountains. We stayed two nights and got expierences local culture and had the best coffee in Sri Lanka. The breakfast was delicious. Great place to stay for your time in kandy. I can only highly recommend staying in bethel rest homestay!
