We arrived at kandy station,after the visually interesting trip from Colombo Fort. The tourist train is ok. But try to get near the a/c unit seats at the rear of the carriage ,away from the tv screen,if you're too hot from waiting at the fort station. Also try to get seats on the right going out for more interesting views,... More

This review is just about our trip with Mr. Linton's "Blue Heaven Tour" and his exceptional driver Praba Prabagaran. It does not cover the guest house. We met Mr. Linton by accident at the train station Colombo and we where so glad we did! Before the 2 parents and the 2 grown up kids 20 and 21 years old had... More

Blue Haven Guest House was our first accommodation upon arriving in Sri Lanka. We chose it based on photos and reviews and because it is connected with Blue Haven Tours and we knew we wanted to arrange further travel. Granted, we arrived at the end of the Sri Lankan New Year holiday, so neither the pool nor the fish tank... More

Mr. Linton is so so helpful, he was very informative with the train and bus times and even arranged pick up for us to the hotel. The pool was nice and clean and was amazing to have a dip with the lovely view of the hills around. The only reason we didn't give a 5 was that the service in... More

Foul smelling bathroom in our first room. Transferred to another room where the bathroom didn't smell but did harbor ants and spiders. Mildew on the shower curtain and grouting. The swimming pool, which was later cleaned, was a bilious shade of green. It is of note that a guest took pity on the fish and cleaned the water in the... More

Great location, lovely staff. Yes, the rooms are not lavish, but for the price, what would you expect. I researched a large number of places before starting our trip, and of the 6 places we stayed in Sri Lanka, this was probably my favourite for authenticity and being welcoming. I would highly recommend to anyone else staying in Kandy.

Up in the Kandy hills and in a quiet area this place is a great oasis after days of sightseeing, busy streets of Kandy or exhausting hikes. The staff are very nice and especially Chunchie is very caring. Last but not least: the pool is very refreshing on a hot day... Martin and Lena from Germany

Blue Haven has a stunning location up in the hills about a 10 minute tuk-tuk ride from the centre of Kandy.. The extensive verandahs/balconies look out over other houses scattered among the trees - it's hard to believe that you are in a town at all. There is also a nice, small pool and the staff are both friendly and... More

Stayed here for 1 night. It was rather difficult to find it because is located far from the central part of the city. To tell the true, it's remote place. They offer nice food and drinks for reasonable prices. The pool is OK (clean). The room was normal but our pillows had terrible smell.
