Excellent view of the Kandy Lake, great English style breakfast, top class accommodation with friendly hosting by the manager. If you come to Kandy, you must choose this hotel, no cap~
Far and away the single best hotel experience I’ve had in my decades of travel. The attentiveness, consideration. And professionalism of the staff are matched by the serenity, beauty, and distinctness of their location. 5/5 would do it again.
The hotel is hidden away in the mountains outside Kandy, a great spot to relax and unwind. It is about 45 minutes out of central Kandy and 20 minutes to the botanical gardens but the hotel will helpfully arrange transport if you decide to head into town. The view from the hotel is one of the best I have ever seen and sitting, relaxing in the beautiful grounds was one of the highlights of our time in Sri Lanka. The hotel food is also excellent, with a wide variety of delicious curries available. All of the staff are extremely friendly, warm and welcoming, they went out of their way to make sure we had a good time They also have a very affectionate dog, which was a huge win!
MMD JOBAYER HOSSAINMelheim Kandy Villas is a charming hillside retreat that blends comfort, nature, and warm hospitality beautifully. Nestled amidst lush greenery with sweeping views of the Kandy hills, it offers a peaceful escape from the bustle of the city while still being within a reasonable drive to key attractions.
The rooms are spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully designed, with large windows or balconies that let you soak in the serene surroundings. The beds are comfortable, and the overall ambiance feels homely yet refined. While the property is generally well-maintained, a few minor maintenance touches could make it even better.
One of the highlights is the service — the staff are genuinely friendly, attentive, and eager to make your stay memorable. The breakfast is hearty and flavorful, often featuring fresh local produce, and dining on the terrace with a view is a treat in itself

ผผู้เข้าพักWe enjoyed our stay at Hotel Ganthera and the staff were friendly however the room itself could have been improved. For example, there was distinct black marks on the walls and some mould in the bathroom but we understand the climate is humid (also some dead bugs). Bed area was clean and satisfactory and we slept well.
The front door is locked at night so beware if needing to leave early - staff are not attentive to this.
Whilst we did not use the pool area, the view was nice and pool looked good. Overall we enjoyed our stay but would probably not come back.
ผผู้เข้าพักSuper mooie locatie en de mensen zijn erg vriendelijk. Alleen waar we tegenaan liepen is dat alles enorm vochtig was. Beddengoed, vloer, badkamer, handdoeken. Er konden nergens ramen open dus het vocht blijft hangen. Ontbijt was prima, erg westers - dus als je daarnaar op zoek bent dan is het top.
In de woonkamer zie je de waterschade op de muren..
er werd achter onze kamer gerookt (buiten) en de rooklucht trok enorm naar binnen, alsof er naast je gerookt werd. Al met al is dit geen plek waar we terug willen komen, ongeacht de vriendelijke mensen.
ผผู้เข้าพักOne of the most amazing properties i have stayed at. Both Bandhara and Madu, the butler and chef, were amazing. They were attentive, responsive and spot on..great work guys..very impressed.
The property does full justice to the $. The location, the chants from the Buddhist temple in the valley create the utmost serene atmosphere. Every amenity is top end and every detail looked after. Will visit again for sure and will highly recommend..cheers
