We Really enjoyed the beautiful Villa with a lot of Green, a Nice Pool and beautiful, spacious very clean rooms. We had a room on the First floor with a wonderful view in the courtyard. There are a lot of plants that ensure privacy on the balcony. It is the Perfect Location to stay in Kandy. The City Center is in walking distance, but you can also take a Tuk Tuk if you prefer This. The couple who Runs the accommodation is very kind and helps you with everything. I forgot something in the room and they helped me a lot to get it back. Thank you for having us!

This was my second stay at Kandy Tree Tops. Upul and Baghia are the best kindest hosts. They make every guest welcome and treat people like family. Baghia is the best cook and their breakfasts and dinners are some of the best food I’ve had in Sri Lanka! Upul is very kind and is always helpful in making sure we have the best intinerary for our stay to enjoy Kandy. Also, helping arrange Tuk Tuks from Kandy Tree Tops to the Center of Kandy. The place is spotless, well maintained, modern and in a quiet location. I couldn’t recommend more if you are staying in Kandy.

I stayed at Heaven Breeze for a while, and it genuinely felt like being part of a family. As a solo female traveler, I felt incredibly safe, supported, and nurtured every single day. The rooms were spotless and peaceful, and the location was calm and perfect for rest and healing. The food was beyond amazing – healthy, nourishing, and always made with love. Sheran, Ravindi, and their kind-hearted father went out of their way to adjust meals for my vegan needs, even getting fresh avocados and local plant-based ingredients. Every meal felt like a gift. Their warmth, kindness, and generosity touched my heart. This isn’t just a guesthouse – it’s a space filled with love, respect, and true Sri Lankan hospitality. I’d highly recommend Heaven Breeze to anyone seeking peace, nourishment, and genuine connection. I’ll always carry the memories with me 💫

The owner Mr. Viper and his workers were very kind and helpful. The family room was clean, large and opens to a balcony with panoramic views. There is access to a common kitchen and dining room which was useful. The Tenthola is in a very nice and quiet location. A feast is served for breakfast on the balcony. We would definitely return when in Kandy.

I had the most wonderful stay at Mount Haven in Kandy. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warm hospitality and felt instantly at home. The location is perfect—tucked away in the hills, offering peaceful surroundings and breathtaking views over Kandy. The room was spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully designed, with a very comfortable bed and all the amenities I needed. Waking up to birdsong and mist-covered hills was a dream. Breakfast was delicious—fresh, generous portions, and served with a smile. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect throughout my stay. Whether you’re visiting Kandy for culture, nature, or simply to relax, I can’t recommend Mount Haven enough. A true hidden gem! What I like the most is the host, they are very nice, and their dog “Bella” is also lovely. Hope to have a chance to visit Kandy and stay here again.
