About us

A family guest house on the hill above Kandy

Cozy Homestay Kandy is run by Jaye and his family. We keep it small so that every guest gets a proper welcome.

Our story

For travellers who want to feel at home

Our guest house sits on 34/1 Reservoir Road, on the green hillside above Kandy city. From the balconies you look out over the hills and rooftops of Sri Lanka's hill capital, yet the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, Kandy Lake and the market are a walk down the hill.

Every room has the things travellers ask for most: a comfortable bed, air conditioning, a big, spotless bathroom with a hot walk-in shower, and somewhere to sit outside with a cup of tea. Breakfast is served at the garden terrace, among palms, flowers and fruit trees.

Most of all, we like looking after people. Guests write about how kind and helpful Jaye and family have been, and how we made sure they had everything they needed. That is the part we are proudest of.
