We Really enjoyed the beautiful Villa with a lot of Green, a Nice Pool and beautiful, spacious very clean rooms. We had a room on the First floor with a wonderful view in the courtyard. There are a lot of plants that ensure privacy on the balcony. It is the Perfect Location to stay in Kandy. The City Center is in walking distance, but you can also take a Tuk Tuk if you prefer This. The couple who Runs the accommodation is very kind and helps you with everything. I forgot something in the room and they helped me a lot to get it back. Thank you for having us!

The location was perfect, only a 10mon tuktuk ride from the train station and situated in a quiet neighborhood. The room I reserved was quite big and could have accommodated 6 people. But what I appreciated the most was how hospitable Mr. Upul and his wife were. I felt so welcomed and taken care of during my stay and he was able to give me tips on places to see, eat, and how to get to my next destination in Dambulla. I would definitely recommend staying here to my friends and family should they ever get a chance to go to Kandy. I also appreciated the delicious breakfast Mr. Upul's wife cooked and her chicken curry was phenomenal and you get to enjoy it on their patio surrounded by their garden!

Cozy and clean room with a nice view from the room. It's about 20 min walk to the railway station and also to the intercity bus station. The landlord was very nice and is helping you wherever he can. Highly recommended

The owner Mr. Viper and his workers were very kind and helpful. The family room was clean, large and opens to a balcony with panoramic views. There is access to a common kitchen and dining room which was useful. The Tenthola is in a very nice and quiet location. A feast is served for breakfast on the balcony. We would definitely return when in Kandy.

I had the most wonderful stay at Mount Haven in Kandy. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warm hospitality and felt instantly at home. The location is perfect—tucked away in the hills, offering peaceful surroundings and breathtaking views over Kandy. The room was spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully designed, with a very comfortable bed and all the amenities I needed. Waking up to birdsong and mist-covered hills was a dream. Breakfast was delicious—fresh, generous portions, and served with a smile. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect throughout my stay. Whether you’re visiting Kandy for culture, nature, or simply to relax, I can’t recommend Mount Haven enough. A true hidden gem! What I like the most is the host, they are very nice, and their dog “Bella” is also lovely. Hope to have a chance to visit Kandy and stay here again.

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.
