At 11:10pm, after a long day of travelling, me and my girlfriend arrived to an abandoned hostel. We’d just missed the check-in window, but despite the hostel advertising a 24/7 reception, there was no one to be seen. We tried calling 3 different contacts, and 2 days later, we have still heard nothing. I therefore can’t provide any accurate feedback on the property because me and my girlfriend were left abandoned outside in the middle of the night with no company aside from wild dogs.
Do not stay here! We found bugs in the beds, in the bed frame and all over the room. After we told the owners they only changed the sheets. This was not good enough for us so we left. The worst part came when we left reviews on google. First they said we were lying and that there were no guest who complained about bugs. After i responded with receipts they edited their answer. They mocked us and said we should call a meeting to tell the bugs to leave?! This is so unprofessional and childish.
Avoid this place! There was someone doing drugs in my my room, I asked the staff if I could go somewhere else or if they could ask him to leave and they laughed and said it was fine. I was up all night, terrified and then left at 6am. The staff didn’t care or try to help me. SO DANGEROUS!!!
BE CAUTIOUS WHEN STAYING HERE!! I had a really bad experience with the owner (the short bald guy who sits at reception). I had someone go through my bags in the room two days in a row where some money went missing and when I reported it to the owner he immediately got aggressive and was telling me that it's my fault that I didn't leave it in the lockers provided. Although this may be true I was extremely upset with the way he responded and treated me to the point where I left immediately.
The hostel is at the top of a very very steep hill (practically vertical) which we didn’t know about before booking. The room was ok, no curtains on the bunk beds and no locks on the door. Shower was hot. We asked for a tuk tuk to be arranged at 7am to get to the train station but they didn’t book and we ended up having to walk as there are no tuk tuks up the hill.
La propreté laisse à désirer(présence de moisissures dans la chambre) . Le personnel a été arrogant avec nous un en particulier. De plus nous étions assez loins du centre et c'était difficile d’accès en auto. De plus , ils m’ont chargé un montant supplémentaire du dépôt que j’avais effectué sur hostel world.
The cleanliness is unpleasant ((presence of mould in the room). the staff was arrogant towards us especially. plus we were quite far from the center and it was difficult to access by car. plus, they charged me an extra amount from the deposit I had made on hostel world.
Schimmel in de matrassen, werd verder ook niet goed schoon gemaakt. Het hostel ligt op een berg en een taxi wil daar niet naartoe.... eigenas hielp me wel een taxi te regelen. Ontbijt was erg goed!
The hostel is on a hill and a taxi won't go there.... the owners helped me arrange a taxi. breakfast was very good!
Would not recommend this place.
Too high up, half of my rides/tuk tuks couldn’t make it all the way to the location and I had to walk some. One of the people working there wasn’t very friendly borderline rude, but another person (maybe the owner?) was really nice. Overall the place was okay but if you’re just passing through I’d pick somewhere else that’s easier to get to
Die Lage ist sehr unpraktisch, man ist ziemlich außerhalb von der Stadt und wenn man diesen extrem steilen Berg nicht hochlaufen will, muss man sich ein TukTuk nehmen, welches selber oft nicht hochkommt. Würde lieber ein zentral gelegenes Hostel empfehlen.
The location is very impractical, you are quite outside the city and if you do not want to climb this extremely steep mountain, you have to take a TukTuk, which itself often does not climb.

Very nice hostel! Had a single room and the view was amazing and even there was warm water in the shower. And very fair price for that. Absolute recommendation :)
Good Hostel. A little outside of the city but has a nice view over it. Spacious room. Unfortunatly no bed curtains.
Hostel was good, staff very nice and breakfast was good too. Be aware this hostel is up a very steep hill and some taxis do struggle to get up to it!
The staff is nice, the room was big and the building is nice but it was very quiet when I was there. Also the location is quite far away from the city centre which makes it harder to get around or get Tuktuk’s. On the other side: The view is pretty
Very nice and quiet hostel with a beautiful view and a nice terrace. We were there in the off season, so there weren‘t a lot of other people. might be social in the main season though and has a nice atmosphere.
The host was really helpful, he booked us a tuktuk from the railwaystation Nanu-Oya, for a better price, than other Tuks or Pickme! He offered great tours for a reasonable cheap price- there a different tours, in which you can see all important attractions! The accomondation was really cute and cozy. They also had warm water to shower, which is great, because Nuwara Eliya is quite cold. We booked a privat room with a privat washroom, also very good. The host is amazing and takes care of you!

Si te gusta la montaña, está es una buena opción para hospedarte. Está ubicado en montaña por lo que hay que caminar algunos minutos en subida pero la vista vale la pena y en general está cerca del lago. El desayuno estuvo muy bueno y completo y el personal estuvo muy atento a nuestras necesidades en todo momento. Ofrecen tours por Kandy y otras ciudades turísticas cercanas a precios accesibles.
If you like the mountains, this is a good option to stay. it is located in the mountains so you have to walk a few minutes up the hill but the view is worth it and in general it is close to the lake. the breakfast was very good and complete and the staff was very attentive to our needs at all times. they offer tours of kandy and other nearby tourist cities at affordable prices.

Wir waren super happy hier! Preis-Leistung ist einfach top, wir hatten das private room und es war das schönste zimmer das wir auf unserer Reise hatten, einfach super sauber, groß und das Bett war sehr bequem. Dadurch das man gemeinsam isst, lernt man schnell Leute kennen. Es gibt in Sigiriya aber nicht sooo viel zu tun, deshalb reichen so 2-3 Nächte, die Dorms waren auch voll in Ordnung
We were super happy here! price is just top, we had the private room and it was the most beautiful room we had on our trip, just super clean, big and the bed was very comfortable. so that you eat together, you get to know people quickly. there is in Sigiriya but not so much to do, that's why 2-3 nights are enough, the dorms were also voll in Ordnung
c'était un bon séjour à Kandy
It was a good stay in Kandy
Staff are really friendly and the food is great!
Great host and we'll maintained room and facilities. Loved the view from the room. The location is slightly difficult to reach while raining but the view is worth it!
I booked a private room which was really lovely. Simple, but with care decorated. Room + bathroom were clean. Bathroom had toilleteries. Bed is comfy. Staff is very friendly and helped me with my visa. Breakfast was complete and tasty.
Good stay overall, friendly stuff and good condition room, only it is up the mountain and often taxi drivers would ask for extra charge. Uber worked fine tho.

Decent dorm, takes a while to reach with Tuk or walking though since its located quite far up on a serpentine road.
Really great stay. Far away from everything but a tuk tuk is very cheap. Great view with good rooms. Definitely worth if you want to see Kandy but be away from the city
a chill hostel, a little out of town at the top of a hill but it is a nice place to stay. I had a beautiful private room and it was comfy and clean. Staff were also friendly and helpful
We had a great stay at funkbunks - the room was simple but well air-conned and had a nice balcony. Great balcony on the first floor for drinks and food with the other guests. Really delicious Sri Lanka food for dinner and breakfast. And the hill is not so bad, just a little steep climb for 5 minutes. Our tuktuk managed to get up there with our luggage and we got some good exercise!
