    Friendly Owners”

    The owners were so friendly and helpful. I received lots of good Sri Lanka travel advice, along with free coffee and chocolate. Puncha is a few km from the city center, but it’s quieter because of the location and a 12 Rp city bus gets you to the center quickly.

    I came back again because it's such a great place with lovely hosts. It's also a good location because if you leave Kandy you have to go to a bus or train station anyway and the cheapest and most convenient way to do that is a local bus, just down the street :)

    I had a good time staying in Puncha hostel. The host is really helpful and speaks really good English. It's not only like a hostel but more like my home in Sri Lanka. The food is really amazing and the room is clean. Although It's not in city center but it's really convenient to go to everywhere by public transportation.

    The best hostel ever”

    I have been travelling since 5 months but this was the best hostel I have ever stayed in. The family is amazing. They will make you feel at home. They welcome every guest with tea and cookies. They also serve u with amazing breakfast. I stayed for three nights with them and everyday they would serve me with deilicious breakfast. I wish I could stay there for a month so that I could try all the Sri Lanka food. I had my birthday on the day I arrived at their hostel and they gave me a surprise on that day. They also cooked BBQ for the guests. It tasted very nice. They also have a bakery which they don't share about much with the guests. But do ask them for it, because everything is made fresh and tastes very good. I would highly recommend this place. I am sure nobody will regret staying at this place.

    Accueil très chaleureux de toute la famille. Un peu excentré du centre de kandy mais plus au calme et on peut rejoindre le centre en 10minutes en bus pour seulement 10 roupies soit 0.05cts d'euros. Pour moi il n'y avais pas mieux! Propre et chaleureux.
