    The location was absolutely epic, nestled on a peaceful hillside with jaw-dropping views. The spacious room had a terrace overlooking the stunning hillside, and it was mind-blowing to have access to a kitchen and cookware. The service was top-notch, with super friendly staff always on hand to help. The breakfast was delicious, and the wi-fi and flat-screen TV added extra convenience. A must-try is the 2nd floor of the nearby Swiss Hotel for a mind-blowing outdoor seating area and yummy cocktails. an unforgettable stay in a calm and green oasis just a short walk from the city center.

    Bommu Bar Lounge that was placed close to the apartment was worth exploring. The personnel was useful!

    We had an amazing time at Aronka! Jam, the host, surprised us with a personalized birthday party for my boyfriend. the location is convenient and the staff is friendly. Breakfast was great, and the young owner was super friendly and helpful.

    Felt just like home, no complaints at all.

    Convenient location, 10-min walk to city center, no steep roads. Nice, clean rooms, but bathroom needs refreshing. Friendly staff and great breakfast. Peaceful hillside setting, away from traffic noise.

    As a tourist, I loved the helpful host who went above and beyond to solve any problems. the breakfast was delicious and being able to use the entire floor was a great bonus. the location was perfect, tucked away at the end of a road and surrounded by tranquility. the room was spacious with a terrace and a stunning view of the hillside. the staff were friendly and the service was top-notch. Having access to a kitchen allowed us to have a break from eating out. And if you're looking for a nearby drink, I highly recommend the 2nd floor of the Swiss Hotel for its beautiful indoor and outdoor seating areas.

    Felt completely relaxed and had no complaints whatsoever.

    We had a blast exploring nearby destinations on the complimentary area shuttle. It was so convenient and saved us a ton of money on transportation. We went on epic adventures to the local market, chilling at the cool cafes, and even partying it up at a sick club! It was the ultimate teenage dream come true!

    The only thing we wish was better was if the hotel had organized some groovy parties for young people like us. We were ready to dance the night away and meet other cool travelers.

    The room at Aronka Homestay was cozy and felt like a home away from home. I loved the fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, making it easy to prepare meals. The seating area with a comfortable sofa was perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring. The flat-screen TV and fireplace added a touch of luxury to the room. Having a washing machine in the unit was a convenient bonus.

    Personally, I didn't find the fireplace very appealing, but I understand that others may enjoy its cozy charm.

    The complimentary area shuttle was a lifesaver for our large family. It took us to amazing nearby destinations like the stunning Kandy Lake and the breathtaking Temple of the Tooth Relic. The convenience of the shuttle made exploring with our children so much easier and enjoyable. We truly appreciated the opportunity to discover these cultural landmarks without any hassle.

    My children wanted more kid-friendly activities at the homestay.

    We really got great value for our money at this hotel. The room was clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect, close to the city center but still quiet. The staff at Aronka Homestay were incredibly friendly and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable.

    The breakfast provided was excellent, with a wide variety of options to choose from. The location of the hotel was very convenient, as it was within walking distance of the lake, allowing for easy access to the beautiful surroundings.- The communal area of the hotel was clean and well-furnished, providing a comfortable space to relax and socialize with other guests.

    The room was quite dark and cramped, with no view and a musty smell. There were some issues with the facilities, such as broken air conditioning and a damp shower area.

    We stayed at Aronka in Kandy for a few days to explore the city and nearby attractions. The location was perfect - close to the center but still peaceful. The host, Jam, went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. He helped us with transportation and gave us great recommendations for local restaurants. The breakfast was delicious and the communal area was clean and well-furnished. We also loved the interesting conversations we had with Jam about contemporary Sri Lankan life. The proximity to the lake was another bonus. a terrific stay and we would definitely come back again.

    Would recommend this hotel.

    The room at Aronka Homestay was amazing! It had a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, which made cooking a breeze. The cozy seating area with a sofa was perfect for relaxing, and the flat-screen TV provided entertainment. The fireplace added a warm and inviting atmosphere, and having a washing machine was super convenient!

    Personally, I wasn't a fan of the showers in the bathrooms. But hey, that's just me!

    I had a wonderful stay at a guest house in a beautiful setting with stunning views. The owner went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable, even preparing a delicious picnic breakfast for my hike. The apartment on the first floor was perfect for me, and I enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. The omelette provided for breakfast was simply delightful. I highly recommend this guest house for an excellent value stay in Kandy.
