Homestays in Pinnawala

A very warm welcome from Anushka and his family. The unique clay house with its unusual shower was very comfortable to stay in. Beautiful plants all around and a pet rabbit added to the charm. The dinner and breakfast were incredibly delicious and traditional. Anushka was always ready to help and give advice. Thank you very much for the wonderful moments!

Dinner was perfect and the services was execelent.

I had an absoulutely beautiful experience staying at Mystay. Hosts were incredibly attentive to anything I needed, they were always available to provide great info about nearby spots and prices. While Mawanella in not a main tourist hotspot there are some gorgeous spots to explore if you like nature such as river with waterfalls, several hiking spots and trekking paths through the rainforest, it is an awesome location for nature lovers. Also, it's proximity to Kandy and Elefant sanctuary puts you in a great location to explore surrounding attractions. Hosts were always able to arrange local transport to wherever I needed to go and for amazing (local) price, can't thank them enough. Breakfast was wonderful, home made and super tasty. They also provided fruit and tea for my relaxing time, also plenty of bottled water all the time. Place is very spaceous and comfortable with garden around the house, there is also a lovely erected area, like a treehouse, for you to enjoy, that is surrounded with greenery, a great place to just relax and see some birds etc. All in all, a wonderful family that I'm happy to have met and I'm so thankful for all their help with information and transport. Hope I'll be able to stay there again sometines in the future.

It was the best homestay / hostel on our trip. Everything was available. Kitchen, terasse, dining area, big rooms, very good and affordable food. Hosts were amazingly friendly and helpful. Would always come back and stay much longer next time!

The rooms were lovely and clean. The property is beautiful with surrounding trees. Hosts are helpful and friendly. Breakfast was delicious. Great value for money :)

The warm welcome from Kosala and Vipul has been the highlight of our stay. They really made us feel at home. As we arrived, they were two strangers, but as we left, they were to very good friends to us. They were very helpful with everything, answered all our questions, and Kosala's cooking was always delicious. They were always keen on making sure we were satisfied with everything. The room and bathroom were both very clean and confortable. The bed was also very comfortable. We also really enjoyed the big terrace with table and chair which allowed us to regularly relax, eat and/or work on our computers. The place is situated about 15min drive from the main center but this allows for a very calm and quiet place. Kosala and Vipul's english is very good which allowed for really great exchanges.

We loved staying at Kushana and Purnima's home sooo much! They felt like true family to us. And i am including their lovely pets, cats and lovely sweetest dog Bella. I enjoyed playing with Bella so much! Thank you Bella, you are truely also a much appreciated member of the staff and did an amazing job! This just added to the comfy feeling of home and relaxation. There were also cute and funny monkeys that we could observe right from our rooms. One monkey got in our room so just a heads up, do close your door when you're not there because they take your stuff. The rooms were in a lovely antique style and very clean, also energetically clean as i am very sensitive to how the energy is somewhere. You could feel that everything they do for their guests is done with a lot of care, love and attention. Every day they prepared an amazing fresh breakfast from their own garden, so very healthy! And we could even order food for dinner. They made the dinner. Kushana drove us to various beautiful places and even went a whole day and waited for us while we were there. Talk about patience!:) The house is located on walking distance from various nice restaurants, also suited for vegetarians. And close to the town Kandy. But in a silent area, the only sounds we heard were monkeys, criquets and sometimes dogs barking. I slept sooo peacefully. There is also a fridge in the shared area and the view from the balcony is just amazing, we sat there a lot and could watch the stars and fireflies at night. So, to conlude, it was truelly a magical and wonderful experience. The service here is even better then you often get in a 5 star hotel. And you won't get generally this kind of genuine attention and hospitality in most hotels. This is the true meaning of hospitality from the heart. I will definitely return here some day!
