The View was awesome. It was our 1st day, they did not disappoint us at all! We reached there earlier. But they welcomed us nicely. Good experience!

The best stay I've ever had. Memorable for life for sure! I was so stressed out by Kandy's hectic city vibes, that their beautiful hotel felt like an oasis (just as it looks and feels like on the photos). I had completely forgotten about dinner, and was surprised with scrambled eggs on toast (my favorite!). Chanaka & Moon are two beautiful people, who look after their guests wonderfully. Even though I would not like to visit Kandy city again, I would visit again only to stay at Villa Olde Ceylon for multiple days <3

It's a place with an incredible view! It's a bit far from the center but you can take a tuk tuk and that's it! The room was very clean, the breakfast was very good for the price. The staff was very friendly at all times. They helped me get a tuk tuk to take me to the station and at night they recommended where to have dinner.

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.
