Behind the closed doors off the road you walk into an amazing place! The hotel is really quirky and unique it's been thought about alot and it's a place I won't forgot from my time in Sri Lanka! Really lovely hosts who can't do enough for you and book your tuk tuk and help plan your time in Kandy. The bed was so comfy and the room was very clean and again had the quirky touches!

It was lovely to stay here. Location of house is perfect and whole house is amazing and very clean. I got really good sleep there, so peaceful neighborhood and silent room. Hosts are very warm-hearted and helpful people. Be aware: you might want to extend your staying. ;)

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.

Charis

From

United Kingdom

We were welcomed with a very delicious welcome drink (best juice I had so far one the whole trip!). The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The family were very friendly and helpful. Over the delicious breakfast we always had a chance to engage in a great conversation with the host and get some tips / recommendation. The host was also quick to reply to messages. The breakfast itself as said was delicious and best about it there was variation not always the same! We were also given the option to book dinner. The garden was lovely too sit in, to just have a moment to relax. The guest house is a bit out of town, however, when you book a Tuk Tuk via one of the apps it was only 350 Rupees to town (as of Jan 25) so really nothing to comment about ;)

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 view is unbelievable. The terrace is the perfect spot to relax and read a book! It feels so clean and neat. Plus the host is really amazing and welcoming. The food especially the breakfast felt so good :) I really recommend this place, I had the best experience and as I’ve said the view was the best thing.

You are welcomed by a very nice couple into a very homely place. They pamper you with home made breakfast, and give you good advice on the area and Sri Lanka in general. This was our favourite stay so far in Sri Lanka.
