Guest Reviews
- Julia (7/5): - Beautiful views and a warm welcome
This place is located a bit outside of Kandy and offers an absolutely amazing view over the green hills – truly a highlight of the stay. It’s a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
The host was very kind and welcoming, and the room was comfortable and well maintained.
I especially enjoyed having breakfast with such a beautiful view – a great way to start the day.
I would definitely recommend staying here when visiting Kandy!
- Danielle (8/5): Comfy & beautiful view - The view is incredible!! The bed and pillows were really comfy we slept very well! It is quite a way out of town and we weren’t able to get a Tuk Tuk or pick me due to the war in UAE and fuel panic so we had to walk down which was short of an hours walk but managed to get pick me back up
- Emma (9/5): -
- Tanya (8/5): -
- Christopher (10/5): - The panoramic views from the balcony over the city are spectacular!
- Hari (10/5): - Fantastic stay
- Sabina (10/5): The nicest stay in Sri Lanka. - Basically everything. The place, the room, the view, the owner herself. The breakfast was a lot and so many options.You will feel like you are staying at home, so cosy.
- Adrian (10/5): Amazing stay with a even better view! - The stay was AMAZING! You have the best view and the host of this guesthouse is so kind and welcoming🙏🏼
We were sad that we did not stay for longer😅
You can have dinner and breakfast at the property for additional charge and we stay absolutely try it because it was some of the best food we had in Sri Lanka🙌🏼
- Raquel (10/5): Best breakfast and best views in Kandy!! - The place is just stunning! The views are amazing! The bedroom is huge with a very big bed, which is super comfortable. The bathroom id very spacious! Everything was super clean. Kandy is a very caotic city so for sure you will need a break. This was the best place for us. It was so much better than we thought! It's a little lost in the mountain but it's truly worth it.
We stayed two nights and our sleep was incredible! The ambience of the house is super nice and the host, she is really nice. She recommended us some places. We could park our tuktuk.
The breakfast was just amazing, the best we had in all Sri Lanka!
Delicious!! The best breakfast with the best views. We also bought something to take away and have dinner one night at the terrace. It was super beautiful! It's hard to find. There was no sign at all. It would be nice to have more indications on the road or at least something written on the door.
- Paulina (9/5): Widok - Widok był obłędny, pani prowadząca pensjonat bardzo miła, z jej polecenia wzięliśmy przewodnika który zawoził nas w każde miejsce które chcieliśmy ❤️
- Podziewska (10/5): Great view, amazing host. - Best view ever, didn’t even need the Kandy view point because this was better, great breakfast for CHEAP. The hostess was really nice and helpful.
- Veronica (7/5): -
- Ameya (8/5): -
- Silvia (8/5): Ottimo alloggio, si può migliorare - La stanza era bellissima, molto spaziosa, grande , con un bagno enorme e dotata di un arredo bellissimo. Vista top!
La colazione poi era ricca e buonissima. La stanza non era pulitissima, oltre all' armadio inutilizzabile, le plafoniere vicino al letto erano piene di ragnatele, il bagno poi pieno di muffa.
L'acqua calda alla sera non funzionava e scendeva a sgoccioli. Per prodotti del bagno c'erano solo 2 saponette. La posizione era proprio scomoda, nessun servizio e proprio fuori città.
- enrico (10/5): - Stanza spaziosa e vista molto bella. Proprietaria gentile e disponibile. Niente
- MD Nazmul (10/5): - The location is simply amazing and you get the whole place to yourselves. The room is spacious, including the washroom. The terrace is an awesome place to relax.
Nature is very close, you can hear birds and other sounds. We also saw some monkeys in the morning.
Another big plus point is there are no mosquitos.
One thing to keep in mind though, it is a bit far & higher from the city. The way down gets dark as soon as the sun sets. So if you plan to go to the city for dinner, you should go before the sun sets. Pickme doesn’t work most of the time from here, so you need to ask the owner for help. Nothing.
- Agnieszka (10/5): - Great spot for a short stay. The large terrace with a stunning view of Kandy that’s available for guests to use. Clean, peaceful, and perfect.
- Karthick (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean and Excellent view. Also awesome breakfast by owner Too far and away from city. Need to catch tuk tuk for every purchase
- Dhananjani (1/5): Bad -
- Martin (10/5): Thank you🇨🇿 - Everything, the view is the best! Also from the bed!
- Bernadine (9/5): A lovely homestay a few kms away from the start of the Pekoe Trail - Stunning views, huge comfortable room, quiet. Our host Kate was lovely. Hard for the tuk tuk driver to get too (he got lost and we had to ask for directions a couple of times).
- Vikesh191 (10/5): Exceptional -
- Betty (10/5): Stunning view! - The host made us feel very welcomed! She helped us with all our needs which was great! Location was excellent with a stunning view from the balcony. Breakfast was absolutely delicious. Accommodation was clean and beds comfy! You will struggle to find a better view in Kandy! Absolutely nothing.
- Yu (10/5): Exceptional -
- Razan (10/5): Exceptional - Everything! Nothing!
- Daiva (10/5): Exceptional - A wonderful place to stay! The views from the terrace are absolutely beautiful, creating a perfect spot to relax. The whole place is very clean, cozy, and well-maintained, making it feel like a home away from home.
The host was incredibly kind and welcoming, always ready to help and share useful tips about the area. Her hospitality made our stay even more enjoyable.
Breakfast was delicious, with fresh and tasty options to start the day right.
Overall, a fantastic experience – highly recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable and peaceful stay!
- Leisa (10/5): Beautiful homestay with stunning views - This is a beautiful homestay, very comfortable & spacious. The views from the huge balcony are stunning. The host is very kind, booked my tuk tuk for me & helped me when I got sick.
- Natalija (9/5): Amazing room! - Unfortunately, it’s pretty far from the city center and difficult to reach, but the room was amazing and the view even more! The host was super nice too.
- Laura (10/5): Recommended - Rooms are super clean and very big. View is phenomenal. Owner is very sweet and breakfast is also great. Accommodation is very far from Kandy city. Keep that in mind. Not every tuktuk driver is willing to take you there because it is high up in the mountains. But the view makes it more than worth it.
- Alex (10/5): Amazing view from the balcony, the host was very friendly and the place very clean. Amazing! -
- Kathryn (8/5): Very good - The host, Kate was really helpful. The room was very bright & spacious with panoramic views of Kandy & the surrounding hills.
The bed was really comfortable & we had a good seating area
It's a very peaceful location
Initially we felt we'd made a mistake by booking here as it felt too far out of the centre up steep roads( not helped by arriving in torrential rain in semi darkness & our taxi getting lost! ) But the location ended up being a bonus as the 50 minute walk down through winding roads, passing lovely houses , temples, friendly locals and beautiful flora and fauna was a highlight of the trip. It was quite a way from the centre. Tuktuk & taxi drivers charge more as its quite a trek up a steep road.
- Thomas (10/5): B E A utiful - The most lovely, friendly host for me and my girlfriend.
The view was the best we have ever seen. So lucky to wake up to the most beautiful cloud inversion over Kandy. 100% would recommend staying here! Only staying for 2 nights
- Swarnima (7/5): Good -
- Gael (9/5): Amazing! - You stay in touch with a local lady, very nice! You have the best view. Clean room. Nice breakfast.
Peacefull area in a crowdy city. You need to get a tuktuk to get there, it is all the way up the hill.
- Shiho (8/5): Totally Very comfortable stay thanks to the kind owner. - Very nice , large, comfortable room with big bed and a breathtaking view. Breakfast is good and cute. Friendly and helpful owner. You need tuktuk to the city area and the owner will call you a driver. Don’t forget to bring dinner or finish eating out cause there’s no restaurants nearby.
- Shruti (9/5): Superb - Beautiful, clean, spacious and comfortable room with a great view. A little away from the city but that's a good thing.
- Juraj (10/5): Exceptional -
- Chatura (10/5): Cozy Stay with Excellent Hospitality - Had a wonderful time! The owner and staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming. The room was cozy and comfortable, perfectly capturing the home-stay vibe.
- Vasudevan (9/5): Superb - Stay was really good
- Shailendra (9/5): Superb -
- Yan (10/5): one of the biggest highlights of my trip to Sri Lanka! - I arrived as a stranger and left as a friend. The homestay has only one bedroom with a large rooftop terrace enough for 30 pax. The view is about stunning, i watched the beautiful sunset in my bed throughout the glass gliding door.
The house is clean, spacious and has tasteful interiors. The bed is large and comfy. The host lady is very kind, open hearted and always there to help in whatever way. We chatted about buddhism, family and life over the delicious homemade milk tea and vegetarian meal. Her story was one of the biggest highlights of my trip to Sri Lanka!
Everything has its pro and con. If you sign up for quietness and serenity, you might expect a bit extra effort to go to the city. But the host is there to offer her help and navigate whatever is needed. None
- Claire (7/5): Great place for peace & quiet and good views - Great views, nice big room, comfy bed, good breakfast. It was quite a long way out of town and very hard to find for tuk tuk/taxi drivers. Not ideal for just a short stay in kandy.
- Mostafa (9/5): Superb -
- Naveen (10/5): Exceptional - Location it will just be mesmerising we went there late around 9 but still she greeted us well Nothing
- Vladislav (10/5): Good, beautiful, kind owner - Everything is absolutely amazing Everything is good
- Francesco (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nawaz (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mitali (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sean (10/5): Exceptional -
- Maren (9/5): Relax above Kandy - Very chill place to stay while in Kandy
- Erkan (8/5): Very good - View is wonderful and owner of the house and her daughter are very helpful. Decoration is soo good. It is soo hard too reach from City Center. When i was coming i paid 300 rupi, when i was returning tuk tuks wanted to charge me 2200 rupi.
- Shiva (10/5): Wonderful stay - Beautiful house, comfortable room with an amazing view in a quiet location. The hosts are extremely friendly Nothing
- Mohamed (9/5): Superb - Owner was very nice and generous, place was very clean and neat, view was amazing Location was a bit too far from the city (high in the mountain)
- Ankit (10/5): Exceptional - A quite place to have a me time. Extremely wonderful host. A place built with utter passion and love. Live to visit again. Nothing
- Moritz (10/5): we totally recommend haven upon hills! - The apartment and our room was really nice, very clean and had beautiful furniture. and did we mention the view? it is awesome!
Our host welcomed us really warmly and prepared us a spontaneous wonderful dinner. it was one of the best we had in sri lanka!
she organized us tuktuks, laundry service and gave lots of tips! We also had good talks and fun together. thanks so much again! everything perfect- maybe only thing- the door to the terrace was a bit tricky, but we learned how to do it :)
- Huong (10/5): beautiful stay - room are so spacious and clean. view from balcony was so huge and beautiful. host super friendly. a bit aways from center. you need to get tutuk to center cost 1000 rupies per ways. However kandy dont have much night life so you can chill in the room anr balcony and enjoy the view 🤗
