    Runing by a very lovely, hardworking and caring couple. No matter how much praise is given to the owner of this resort, Padmini and her husband, it is less.Both are well behaved, full of affection, very pleasant and very caring hosts. Both take care of even the smallest needs of the guests staying at their hotelsThe breakfast served in the hotel every morning is very tasty. The kitchen is absolutely clean and up to the standards of cleanliness.The hotel rooms are big and clean. The hotel is decorated in a very elegant manner. The hotel has a very nice environment, it is safe. The bathrooms are absolutely spotless and large. There is a system of cold and hot water. Toiletries are free.There is television in the room and satellite channels are available. The balcony is very big. And the river flowing in front of it, the Buddha statue situated on top of the mountain is very beautiful. The view is very beautiful. Hotel manager Upendra is a very professional and practical person. Upendra is also a very good cook. All types of dishes are available here on the demand of the guests. The hotel has its own small bar where you can chill out. Even in hotel has a small kind of library. Sting arrangements are very good in every nook and corner in hotel. My relationship with Padmini, her husband, hotel manager Upendra and other staff members became very familiar. I highly recommend this hotel, whenever I come to Kandy, I would like to stay here..🥰

    Stayed here on the night of 31/12/2019. The hotel is peacefully situated on the outskirts of Kandy City. The hotel staff were very welcoming and polite. We were offered great room with a scenic view of Mahaweli Ganga river. In the morning we were served a variety of breakfast which tasted too good. Overall had a pleasant stay here and would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting kandy!

    My husband and I stayed here for one night with our mother and absolutely loved it! We wished we could have stayed longer. The food was delicious and they were very accommodating and happy to cook at a time that suited us. The garden is beautiful with so many different fruit trees with a lovely view of the river. As an added bonus you can sit and enjoy watching a variety of bird life. We found this the perfect location being close to the city but far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet. I thoroughly recommended.

    It's a great little hotel that's out of the hustle bustle of Kandy. Beautiful view of the river and plenty of birds flying by. The hotel management was very accommodating to our requests.

    Really lovely hotel. The owners are wonderful. I recommend you to get a river facing room. Natures sounds are so beautiful. It’s a very tranquil hotel. My only comment is that I don’t think there was enough food at breakfast as the buffet ran out very quickly. I recommend staying at this hotel. It’s only a 10 min tuk tuk ride to the temple

    Beautiful, calm and nature filled location. Rooms were clean, simple and good. Service was excellent, when we said Wi-Fi not reaching, immediately provided the extender. Next day we were leaving early so asked them breakfast as packed, agreed and gave at right time. Excellent service. Great location don’t miss it.

    Kandy River edge is a very special place with very nice and friendly hostes. The room with stunning view to the riverside was very clean and well organised. From the balconi you hear the birds singing and you see the fruits growing on the trees. The organic food was amazing,freshly prepared with ingreediens from their own garden . We felt like coming home. Elisabeth and Alfred from Italy

    A beautiful property run by a lovely couple with views of the Mahaweli river flowing by. Large airy rooms and bathrooms. Food was delicious and wholesome with no additives. Will certainly re-visit. Wish we stayed longer than 3 days.

    Great service, calm and serene views. The river is murky but we woke up to the chirping of birds and witnessed a beautiful sunrise. The manager packed us breakfast as we had to leave early morning and the owners even dropped us to the railway station as we could not find any cabs on May Day and were running late.

  • 5/5 Indika A. 10 months ago on Google
    The resort is situated in an attractive location. Rooms and the bathrooms are spacious and well cleaned. You can have delicious meals from them. The owner and the staff are very friendly. The cost is also fair. Had a wonderful time.

  • 5/5 Ryan L. 4 years ago on Google
    This place was really fantastic!!!! Everything about it was outstanding. The room we stayed in was spotless, and had the most beautiful view of the river. The service in this place was top class! The owner is incredibly friendly and him and his staff were the most accommodating people we had met in our months stay in Sri Lanka! We felt as though we were royalty with how well the staff treated us. We had such a wonderful stay for a full week at this place and it truly felt like home when we reached the end of our stay. From the sounds of nature heard from our balcony, to the fresh fruit and veg straight from the garden onto our breakfast plates, we really want to thank these guys for everything! Highly recommend this place to anyone. The only heads up is to hire a scooter to make up for the location but we did not have in issue driving 10 minutes into town daily.

    We stayed in room with a balcony overlooking river, giving us a beautiful view to wake up to every morning. The facilities are clearly new and has been maintained to a high standard. The food was delicious and staff were friendly and polite. They also arranged transport for us to travel around Kandy for a reasonable price. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to travel to Kandy.

    Best hotel, very good treatment & comfortable rooms.! Best 👍❤

  • 5/5 Nadeera P. 3 years ago on Google
    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Beyond expectations. We stayed in this place for 3 days. The team was super awesome. the place is amazing and humongous. You can expect more than you see in pictures you can find in internet. Food is amazing and they have a awesome chef who cook anything for you anytime. we never felt that we were away from home. We traveled this place with our pet too but they always gave whatever we asked and treat him well. All the must visits are near by so you don't have to worry about the distance. You will never regret choosing this place or a single rupee you spend on this place. Mr. Thilakarathne and his family who own this place and Mr. Ashan(can't remember his exact name. sorry if the name is wrong) who is the all rounder will never disappoint anyone who step in to this place.

  • 5/5 nanayakkara k. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a Hotel, where tourists are able to achieve and fulfill all their aspirations and goals with great satisfaction due to the hotel facilities and kind and considerate staff. Located in a River Bank gave us a soothing environment. All the rooms are spacious, clean and face the Mahaweli River. We were able to have a panoramic view with ever green tall trees and beautiful canopies. The serene environmental tranquility completely liberated our stressed and distressed minds living and working in highly urban places. Therefore, this is a real nature resort. The trip we were given by the hoteliers to Dambana to meet and talk Sri Lankan Indigenous people was immortal for us. On the way to Dambana we went to Heel Oya village and crossed through 18 Hair Spring Bends (Dahaata Vangu). What a beautiful hotel Kandy Rivers Edge Nature Resort and a beautiful country Sri Lanka are.

  • 5/5 Bevin C. 2 years ago on Google
    Good rooms on the river away from busy Kandy. Very clean and nice balconies. Friendly owners. Pretty restaurant on the water with good view and billiards. Breakfast was tasty but dinner was too expensive, twice the prices for simple food.

    Lovely hardworking couple running a private business with reasonable pricing and friendly staff. Clean room and bathroom with a nice view of the lake. Meals are delicious and carefully prepared with natural ingredients. Would highly recommend their specialty dish “black wild boar curry” with rice, for an authentic Sri Lankan food experience.
