Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in Central Province

eranga and his brother is the best host during our entire stay in sri lanka.view from the balcony is beautiful. room and living room is spacious.rooms are clean

We stayed 5 nights at Cecilia Cottage and did not want to leave once our time was up. A beautiful and peaceful apartment that felt homely right away. The host sharmini went above for all our requests and made our stay very special. I can’t wait to visit again. Thank you very much for everything!

We loved staying so close to nature! We spend almost two weeks here. It’s situated right on the edge of the Udawatta sanctuary, so monkeys visited us quite a few times which was nice to see! It’s not far from the city but when we went food shopping we took the tuktuk back and it cost us around 200 LKR. So if you want something private, calm but also walkable to the centre, this is it. Just mind that it’s close to the forrest and not much light goes in through the trees. But on the other hand the temperature in the apartment was nice due to the location. There’s no need for AC but there’s a fan if you need it. The kitchen has some amenities like rice cooker and smoothie maker. But it could maybe use a bit more cutlery like a new wooden spoon, but things like pan and pots were really good. The WiFi was perfect, no problem with that.

Surangi's place is a wonderful spacious independent accomodation which is easy to find. It is on the first floor with personal entrance. there is a great deal of privacy, coziness and comfort. it is a remarkable place if you are travelling with your family. comes with all necessary amenities. Surangi is an excellent host. always cooperative and took great care during the stay. go for it.

It's difficult to find words to explain how amazing our experience in Chamila's place was. We haven't been received as guests, we felt more like a part of the family. Chamila is very hospitable, polite and humble and she, together with the whole family, including Snowy and Scooby, made us feel welcomed, we learned a lot about Sri Lanka, we ate amazing food (!) prepared by her mother and Elena even had a chance to try on one of Chamila's beautiful saris. Not to mention that she helped us to arrange all the trips in the area (and there's much to see - Dambulla is exactly in the middle of the "cultural triangle") and that we received parting gifts which will make us remember the visit when we're back home (we would anyway!). I've been staying in hundreds of places over the years and this is definitely on my personal top three list. If you're reading this, stop looking for different accommodation. You've just found what you wanted and you will never forget this place afterwards.

Bernard was very nice and helpful and the place was nice

Our host couple Indira and Lakshman are very attentive and helpful people whose hospitality comes from the heart. We stayed for six weeks in their beautiful house, which is situated in a lovely garden on a hill in Sirimalwatta. Our flat with kitchen and two bedrooms also has a terrace where we always had our meals as a family of four. We liked it so much that we will be staying here again temporarily on our next visit to Sri Lanka in the autumn. Lakshman also helped my husband a lot with one of his local projects and arranged an appointment for him with the local governor.

The location was perfect for our needs. the Air-conditioning in the bedrooms was perfect and with windows open in the living room and kitchen it was comfortable we were there for about 17 days and we couldn't have asked for a better stay. but what really stood out and made our experience the best Airbnb stay was the host Lakmal and his family was so helpful, if we had questions or needs he was quick to respond and helpful as possible. he helped organize cooking lessons on Sri Lankan food at my wife's request. when we struggled to find a ride to the train station at 430 am for an early train twice he was able to organize a van for us with 1 days notice. Lakmal maybe the best host we have ever had. we plan to go back several more times to Sri Lanka and when we go we will only go when he has availability. It was good value and had the basics we needed a simple setup functional and tidy. I would highly recommend. my favorite thing was the instant hot water tankless system. great!

The kandy panorama house is beautiful! We stayed there only for one night as a bit of a layover, but it was a great place to stay. Some bedrooms feel like you're in the turret of a castle. Kids loved it ☺️ Chanaka was very responsive as well. The ride up the mountain is about as much fun as you can have in a tuk tuk. Strongly recommend using the recommended driver and tuk tuk (Manoj) as the engine capacity is more than normal 😝

Really nice place, the host is very friendly and hospitality. You can rent a bike here, It is very convenience for tourism.

We had a great stay at Makahouse. The photos don’t do it justice- the place is huge with breathtaking views and lush greenery around. The caretaker looked after us very well and the food was superb! The pool was very refreshing after a day of exploration in Kandy. The communication with the host was excellent. I would definitely recommend this place and stay myself with pleasure!

great location for sri lanka middle part sightseeing. house and swimming pool much bigger than on photos. was better than expected. safe and quiet. Spend really good time. dinner and breakfast possible.

What an amazing place, in a beautiful area of the island. From the moment we drew up to the gates of the Dutch House, we were greeted by the most gorgeous Dutch villa, and the all-pervasive smile of Kannan, who looked after us like members of the family during our stay. The house sits high on the hills outside of Bandarawela, up a short, but very steep road, which gives it a great vantage point over the surrounding lush hills and mountains. It’s a great climate so a gin and tonic on the veranda was a joy. We made use of the pool, and although not heated, you soon get used to it. The surrounding gardens are very well kept and have a plethora of birds and other wildlife. The food prepared by the on site chef was wonderful, as was the attentive service from Kannan. We also had the best sleep we've had during our trip. Even if you’re not in the immediate area, a drive here and a stay in this wonderful house, will surely be one of the highlights of any trip. It was for ours.

Very nice place not far from the main road. Appartment was clean, spacious with interesting details. Two rooms with huge beds, big living room with dining table and terrace. Our host was very responsive, waited for our arrival and even woke up very early morning to say goodbye. Outstanding thing i liked the most were ,,jungle sounds'' i enjoyed getting asleep with. I recommend!

Lovely hosts, a clean and comfortable room, and a great location. Felt like a home away from home. Would definitely return!

A beautiful house with a spectacular view. Upul is an artist who has spent many years of his life in Denmark. His house shows his mix of Sri Lankan and Europe: large windows and open breezy spaces mixed with traditional building. We felt so comfortable and relaxed in such an interesting and well-designed space. We drank our morning coffee watching the sun come up over the hills. A wonderful memory. Thank you, Upul, for such a nice memory of Kandy.

This was a comfortable home away from home and it is a short walk away from the Dambulla cave temple which is very convenient. It's also easy to get a tuktuk at the corner if you need to go into the town. The amenities all work and are as advertised, very clean and neat. All in all a great place to stay with friendly and helpful hosts.

Great place. Great and the host is very responsive.

The flat in Nuwara Eliya was perfect for what we needed: two nights in a clean and spacious apartment. The flat has everything you need to make you feel like home: comfy beds, TV with access to smart tv, great kitchen, fridge, etc. It’s also very close to the Gregory lake and an amazing cafe that we went to for the 2 mornings we were there: Ayurveda Coffee Shop. Communication with Jeni was fine too, although we never met, the arrangements to check in/out were easy and clear.

Spacious, clean flat with a balcony overlooking the river and some lovely furnishings and art work. Responsive host and lovely caretaker. We especially appreciated the assistance with transport to Kandy from the airport, the solid breakfast, and the late checkout. Within tuk tuk distance but mercifully removed from the hustle and bustle of the city center.
