Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
We stayed here for two nights, as a family of four in two bedrooms. The hotel was very small (5 rooms) and quiet with a very attentive team of staff, including Salman who always greeted us with a wide smile. The hotel is very close to the town yet you feel like you are out in the countryside with the amazing views from the outside dining area. Whilst there was an a la carte menu, we also had a lovely 7 dish Sri Lankan curry which was delicious. Breakfast was excellent and plentiful.

We spent 2 nights at the Stone House in Kandy. What a beautiful property built in the 1940s. The relaxing areas are beautiful as well as the poolside and gardens. The staff were lovely and made us feel very comfortable. Service was excellent by all members of staff. We asked for the Sri Lankan curry on the second night and we were not disappointed. We loved the traditional Sri Lankan desert "watalappan" which tasted like Creme Caramel, delicious! We asked for a packed lunch for our train journey up to Ella and this was prepared and waiting for us the morning we left. Once again thank you to you for your kindness.

We stayed here for two nights. Room was lovely and staff helpful although their English meant that it took time for them to understand my gluten free needs (despite a Sinhali translation). However on the second day delicious muffins appeared. Try the fish soup. It's divine. Stick to the curry and rice which is lovely and forget the European food which is overpriced and nowhere near as good as the curry. The visit was marred by charging us for a dish we both clearly didn't order. I ate two mouthfuls rather than waiting for the right dish to appear which was just an appetiser as we'd had a large lunch. Sincere apologies were forthcoming but the bill didn't take that into account. Such a disappointment to what would have been a lovely stay.

We booked to stay 3 nights in March, we cancelled within allowed period due to a change to our travel plans. We have been charged £800 to our credit card and now After phone calls, emails and contacting Bookings.com ( who we booked through ) they refuse to respond to sort out the reimbursement to our credit card for a stay we didn’t have! I suggest to anyone that if you are thinking of staying here …… DONT!! They are unprofessional & dishonest and should be avoided at all costs!

Stone House Kandy is a beautiful, peaceful haven away from the noise and chaos of Kandy city. The staff were quietly and efficiently attentive and we enjoyed the breakfast and dinner especially. We were upgraded to a suite which was beautiful, I enjoyed using the gorgeous bath. We were the only guests there for our 2 night stay and felt as if the house belonged to us! Would highly recommend.

On our journey in Sri Lanka we have stayed in different types of hotels . Some of them luxurious - some of them cheap. Stone house was a little expensive - but not very expensive.
The hotel in itself is located a little outside Kandy . Takes about 10-15 minutes to get to the center.
The facilities are good - with a nice garden. The food they serve is banging . They can make exactly what you want and how you want it.
The service from the staff was extraordinarily good. The guys managing the hotel went out of their way to help with all problems. It was even better than in the most luxurious hotels. It made us so happy to stay at Stone House. It might be a 4 or 5 star hotel . But the service here is TEN STARS

We only had one night here but it was fabulous. Beautiful location on a hilltop above the valley. Great views and a beautiful pool. Gorgeous, well equipped room.
The staff and dining room puts the place over the top. Truly warm, helpful and professional.
A respite from the busy city. not really walking distance to anyplace in town but taxi's are plentiful. A little sad that they declined our request for a room upgrade even though we were the only residents of the hotel during our stay.
At just 1 night, our visit was all to short but we would return if we were in the area. Highly recommend!
