This was the perfect place to stay in Kandy. Up in the hills with a balcony area where I enjoyed my coffee while watching monkeys, birds and surrounding nature. Also a great night's sleep ok a comfy bed with no noise except the rain on the roof. Suraj, the host, is freindly and accommodating, never hesitating to attend or answer questions I had. The room had good WiFi that I used to work from and take Skype calls. And the bathroom had hot water to shower. I booked two night initially but stayed an extra two.

I wish I could live here. The hosts made me feel like family. The bedroom was immaculate, cleaner than my own home. The food was amazing!! Breakfast was so delicious, I decided to have dinner there as well. I will definitely come back here. The family made the stay exceptional, they are so kind and warm!

You can agree with the owners about a convenient breakfast time. You can choose from tea or coffee, black or with milk. The location is away from the city, but in a quiet and cozy place, without the bustle of the city. You can walk to the city center in 45-50 minutes. The hosts are very hospitable and kind people.

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 💫

    It's a very very charming boutique hotel. It has an Italian design. The manager speaks good English and knows what hospitality is. He organised everything for us, was genuine interested and made us feel very welcome. The breakfast is also good. And it's easy in this hotel to also meet other travellers (with families). The views from the hotel are stunning, it's a little bit out of the city center but therefore also nice and quiet.

    The lake view and quiet location are delightful in the morning. The guest house thrives primarily due to its two fantastic hosts, who took excellent care of me. Enjoying a beer and discussing politics with them was a warm and welcoming experience. The recommended dance show is truly worth attending, even though the audience is predominantly white.

    Our two hosts were remarkably friendly, attentive and helpful. While the accommodation is located on the outskirts of Kandy (and is thus very quiet - a big plus in our opinion), the city centre and all the major sights are easily reachable by tuktuk. Our corner room with a balcony had a beautiful view over the river and the surrounding countryside. The breakfast - especially the fresh fruit - was delicious, varied and more than we could eat.
