While planning for our recent trip to Sri Lanka, we had a difficult time deciding upon a Hotel/Guesthouse in Kandy. Few hotels had positive TA ratings and most guesthouses seemed underwhelming based on pictures. Also, many hotels and guesthouses are located in the suburbs and outskirts of town. For a first-time Kandy tourist, I was hesitant to book any accommodations... More

The reward for the drive along the track a few kms away from the busy Kandy city is this tranquil 3 room B and B. The owners had a tuk tuk waiting at the station for us which was great as it could be a difficult place to locate. The view is out over a river valley and the whole... More

Our driver had difficulty finding Baramba House. He called the owners, a couple of times, for directions. Finally, we arrived at this stunning place. Worth the search!! We stayed at their larger room, which was very comfortable and beautiful, with double pane windows. The modern slate bathroom had a good size shower. Decoration and materials, used all over, are tasteful... More

I can't imagine a better place to stay when visiting Kandy. Amazing peaceful location on the hillside outside town, with views across to the Botanical Gardens. The bedrooms are spotless, modern and stylish, and there's plenty of space in the adjoining living room and breakfast room. The beautiful swimming pool is on a private terrace with tropical plantings. The owners... More

Finding Baramba House in the mountains outside Kandy was a challenge, but it was worthwhile. It was like finding a home away from home. The host and hostess did a wonderful job of welcoming us. The rooms were perfect and the food exquisite. We recommend this boutique hotel to all tourists who look for quality and beauty.

The welcome and friendliness from Barbara, Sandun and their lovely pets is difficult to beat anywhere. Baramba House is located up a steep dirt track and is tricky to find. The room has a lovely modern bathroom and is a good size. It would benefit from more storage/coat hangers and a more effective curtain as light comes in at 6am.... More
