If you are looking for a calm and friendly place in Kandy, Forest Glen is the right choice for you! We planned to stay only for one night but finally we stayed much longer. The breakfast was delicious and we were given all information we needed during our trip.

It was only by chance that I ended up here. It was the ideal place for me to have time out. The rooms are basic but very clean. Indira and her family are so lovely. They really cared for me in so many ways. It was incredible to have monkeys outside and sometimes on my window sill. Such a wonderful... More

I stayed in this family owned guesthouse in transit after a retreat in the mountains of Kandy. The location is superb : still in the middle of nature an yet very close to the city center (an ideal switch from silent retreat to the lively city). The lady of the house is very helpful : she adapted to our wishes... More

It was a very pleasant stay in this gesthouse with perfect location (it is in the forest but only 10 minutes walk from the city) . The owner is very nice and helpful. Homecooking here is excellent - try vegetarian rice and curry and herbal tea :)

Definitely my favourite guesthouse in Sri Lanka so far. The rooms are spacious and very clean, the commons are beautiful and make one feel at home (or rather, at grandma's). The verandah is perfect to relax and enjoy the sight and sounds of the forest.

It was nice to stay in this well-maintained family home. The location is too good - amid dense jungle and still just one kilometer away from the heart of the city. The food was very good too. The owner willingly served us the food we requested for. Rooms are basic but comfortable.

Good place to stay in Kandy. The owners are a nice family ready to improve your trip with a really good home made dinner. They are ready to assist you in anything you may need. The hotel is located really close to the centre of Kandy and in the meantime it is in a beatiful green and naturalistic place. You... More

Forest Glen was our first experience of Sri Lanka and it was a pleasant introduction. Lovely setting in the middle of jungle. Unfortunately it was raining during our visit which made it not as enjoyable as it could have been. When walking it took about 15mins to town. Room and guesthouse basic but comfortable. A lovely host who cooked dinner... More

Really enjoyed my stay at this guesthouse. It is located about 10 minutes walk from Kandy but feels very secluded. The owner is very friendly. She made me a vegetarian dinner on request my first night there as I was too tired to walk into town. The breakfast is included in the price and is very good (the coffee is... More
