The owner was very nice and helpful. He even got us some drinking water in the late night of New Years' Eve when everything was already closed. This accommodation is a part of sustainable tourism which is supportive for our green planet.

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 💫

Everything about our stay was perfect. The place is super clean, super comfy and you have all the amenities you need. Jaye is such a great host, who helped us with everything we needed and more. Not only did he give us advice on how to best utilize our stay, but we also learned a lot about Sri Lankan culture and history. The driver he organized for us, Madu, took us on great adventures for a very reasonable price. Finally, we suggest you eat both breakfast and dinner here, the food was incredible. When comming back to Kandy, we will stay at Jay's again 100%!

Edwin was an exceptional host! He was incredibly thoughtful, especially with our infant, and ensured milk was arranged in advance as requested. He provided excellent guidance on activities to do in Kandy, making our trip even more enjoyable. The breakfast was delightful, offering us a wonderful introduction to Sri Lankan cuisine. The property itself is charming, with a lovely garden that attracts adorable birds and squirrels, adding a touch of magic to the day. Edwin was highly responsive and quick to address any concerns, ensuring our stay was both comfortable and memorable.

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.
