New Toropi Homestay, hotel in Gampola

Featuring mountain views, New Toropi Homestay provides accommodation with a garden and a balcony, around 8.5 km from Kandy Royal Botanic Gardens.

Our stay at Toropi Homestay was nothing short of magical. Nestled in a serene jungle setting, just a short distance from the bustling city of Kandy, this hidden gem offers the perfect blend of tranquility and adventure. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Nishad and his wonderful family, whose hospitality made us feel instantly at home. The food, lovingly prepared by Nishad’s wife, was some of the best Sri Lankan cuisine we’ve ever had—each meal was a delightful exploration of local flavors and traditions. Nishad went above and beyond as our host, taking us on unforgettable excursions to a local tea factory, stunning waterfalls, the iconic Ambuluwawa Tower, and several beautiful temples. These experiences gave us a deep appreciation for the natural beauty and rich culture of the area, all while avoiding the usual tourist crowds. What truly sets Toropi Homestay apart is the genuine warmth and kindness of Nishad and his family. Their care and attention to detail made our stay the best we had in Sri Lanka. If you’re looking for a place that offers both comfort and authentic experiences, Toropi Homestay is an absolute must-visit.

Villa Mount Melody, hotel in Gampola

Located in Kandy, 2.8 km from Kandy City Center Shopping Mall, Villa Mount Melody has rooms with free WiFi access.

Really nice place to stay with a super friendly host. It was surprisingly easy and well priced to tuk tuk to and from town compared with other parts of Sri Lanka we have visited. The place looks exactly like the pictures and we had a great sleep. Breakfast was yum and water provided throughout the stay is an extra perk. We wish we could have stayed here more than one night.

    The rooms are nicely designed, clean and comfortable. No air con but the fan above the bed worked well. The owner, Dulip, is a lovely person and great host. Him and his wife were very friendly. The food is also tasty. Dulip arranged a tuk tuk tour of Ambuluwawa Tower which was perfect as we were the first ones at the top of the tower when the gates opened at 7:45am.

    Nice place for 1 night stay if you want to visit Ambuluwawa tower that is only 5km away. It's a guest house where rooms for guests are on the 2nd floor. Hosts were very friendly and welcomed us with tea, helped with luggage. Rooms are equipped with fans, but it was not hot at all and we havent used them . Clean and comfortable

    The owners are very helpful, kind and relaxed! They arranged a motor bike for us to rent and cooked a nice dinner. The area (outside city centre) is quite green and quiet, nice to relax a bit and visit the ambuluwawa tower. We really enjoyed our stay

    Ranil and team are very exceptionally friendly hosts. The location is very nice and calm. The resort is reached by a small road but once you are there you have great location with a nice view over the Mahaweli river and mountains.
