I stayed here twice, not because I wanted to but because I had to as I booked a tour with them that saw me coming back through Kandy & each time was a stay I enjoyed. I did like this guesthouse. You could see that they have been in the business for a while because they just knew how to do things right & especially what guests would want. The whole place was well maintained, very clean and tidy with a lot of outdoor areas to sit. The staff were very helpful, cheerful & always smiling, they were great.

The rooms had everything one could want, a ceiling fan, an air-con, a well maintained mosquito net over the bed & a TV (never worked both stays & that no one really knew how to use). My room also had a balcony which I loved. Staff are excellent, helpful to ensure that your stay is made comfortable. Breakfasts are also great, you won’t go hungry.

One thing to note: the ceiling fan, in the room I was in anyway, is noisy so bring ear plugs. 

By way of location the guesthouse is approx. 2.5km from the town centre. The walk will take anywhere between 30-45min depending on your pace. I quite enjoyed the walk as it was through what I would describe as ‘green leafy suburbia’ through a better part of town. The location was a fantastic bonus for me.

Would I stay here again? Without a doubt 100%.


Great place 

We were recommended blue haven after having a crappy stay somewhere else. Was so refreshing coming here. Nestled in the hills, suburban, quiet, cute pool, friendly staff. Beautiful stay. So happy staying here. Thank you blue haven and Sachin from USP Lanka tours who recommended it.

Soooo nice

Bluehaven tours provided us with a vehicle and driver for three weeks at a very inexpensive cost - the vehicle was good and always clean and We were particularly impressed with Dinesh who was fantastic as a driver. He was happy and cheerful, tuned in to what we liked and what we didn’t like and adjusted what he did and suggested to our needs. He drove well and carefully, was always punctual, and adjusted to our children’s needs with car sickness and was very caring and supportive of our children. We all enjoyed his company and his knowledge of where we were and his suggestions and local connections. We are very impressed with him and his willingness to meet our every need and put our holiday before himself and that he spent many hours traveling back and forth with never a hint of complaint. He was terrific. We loved staying at Bluehaven guesthouse in Kandy too - a quiet spot but quite close to town and fantastically helpful and friendly staff. It was confortable and affordable and pool was good.

Very happy with Bluehaven tours and guesthouse

Spacious and  clean room.  There were great views from both the dining room and bedroom balcony.  The staff member who dealt with us the most called Mr Saman was such a lovely man, he could do it all, porter, waiter, cook and generally very helpful and thoughtful.  Great pool to relax in after a long day of travelling.  Only thing I could say that could do with improvement is the breakfast could do with more of a rotation especially when spending 4+ days there, it was good just needed more day to day variety. We had dinner there one night, Mr Saman did a great job, very tasty.  

Blue haven tours is also part of the business and was very good, and driver Denis was awesome...more on that in a seperate review.

Thoughtful and attentive staff

The guesthouse is lovely and the pool is a great bonus especially in Kandy. Food was amazing, all our group (6 people) enjoyed different Sri Lankan meals, which were the best we had on our trip. The main host who was always serving us, was absolutely magnificent! He was so lovely and attentive. We were very well looked after we could even put the goods we got in the market into the kitchen fridge! Its just the most friendly and cosy place we stayed in Sri lanka! 

Cannot recommend enough

We had a very pleasant stay in Blue Haven Guest House, it was actually perfect for us. We wanted to explore kandy but stay outside the city so we could recover in a calm and nice place. This guest house is 10 minutes from town by tuk tuk and 20 minutes walking if you use the shortcut. The staff was absolutely lovely, the view and the space on the terrace was incredible and the cherry on the top is the swimming pool where you can cool down after sweating all day in the city. We also met several very nice families as the place is good for kids. 

Very pleasant stay out of town

This is Not just a guest house but a brilliant place to stay in Kandy. It's only 5 minutes  from the centre by Tuk Tuk but it's got incredible  views of Adams Peak and surrounding countryside. Fresh air aplenty and no fumes ! The value for money is simply UNBEATABLE especially when you see their facilities.  The rooms are all clean and tidy ,with air conditioning.  The swimming pool and sun terrace are rare in this part of Town and their restaurant offers quality simple food at very affordable  prices. 
One of the best we've  EVER stayed in ANYWHERE. 
VERY Highly recommended. 

5 Star Service with Budget prices.

We enjoyed a lot during the trip, the car was clean and pleasant. The business owner is very nice. If you are going to hire the companys services, you are advised to ask Ravi as your driver. Ravi is very kind, tries to help, to recommend and explain everything.

Great 12 days driver trip

The stay was as a part of the trip managed by Mr.Linton. One night there were a family with little kids running and screaming late late evening and the accoustic is not really perfect but I guess it is not better in any other place in this price category. 
But othervise, location is great, morning you wake up to a nice view and sound of birds. 
Stuff if helpful and breakfast are just Ok. I had much better breakfast at other locations in Sri Lanka, but not in Kandy so I cannot compare and for the price it was ok.  
I would give 5 start, the only reason I don't is that I experienced really better places in other locations in Sri Lanka, but for Kandy this might be a really good choice and you can'g go really wrong with it. 

Almost five stars ;) No regrets. 

Got good assistance and service from Mr Linton to make out our plan   The driver Mr Nalinda also is very good and helpful to make your trip better
Special thanks to Mr Linton. I recommend to contact Mr Linton before you start your Lanka tour
