  • 1/5 Finalcut 3. 3 years ago on Google
    Not not recommended at all. We had our worst stay in Kandy after a long drive all the way from colombo. 1. Owner(Mr. Anil) was very rude 2. You will have to pay extra to use the kitchen even if you booked the bungalow 3. Pool was way too small and not clean as shown in images 4. It’s sort of a place for some bachelors to hangout and have a drink, not a family spot 5. Good meals are not available nearby, u have to come to the city 6. They sound really good over the phone but the direct opposite when u reach the location 7. ZERO “0” COVID19 safety measures.. not even a temperature check or sanitization 8. Rooms are average..they just reuse the blankets without even washing them..

    The view from the room was amazing. You may hear jungle sounds at night and early morning (monkeys, birds sing). Also, in the evening there were a lot of fireflies we could observe from the room, cool! Breakfast was excellent and big. Highly recommend :)

    This is a very aesthetic hotel with a beautiful view. The rooms and food is alright. Although this is an old hotel and lacks things such as simple square plugs, kettles, mugs, spoons, coffee/tea, sugar, and pillows. They have very nice small details which is much appreciated and sufficient parking space. It have a really nice swimming pool with a riverside view. The staff and owner are extremely nice and really friendly and helpful. It’s okay to visit on a budget.

    Overall, I had a great experience with the Riverside Villa Kandy staff was helpful, specially Ushanni and the amenities were great. The room was wonderful, clean, and perfect to spend your weekend.

    Unfortunate experience Disliked · Highly disappointed. Reserved a family room for the safety of my daughters 10 days prior to the stay and even got the confirmation through a call. However when we went there they had already given the family room to another guest and gave us a triple room and a double room. Since I could not let my 2 daughters sleep in another room all four of us had to uncomfortably sleep in a triple room.

    Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. Just top notch facilities. Big rooms, clean bathrooms, balconies. They have a fridge and little kitchen on the floor if you want to use that as well as an entire 3 bedroom apartment. Great hangout spots all over the premises. Clean pool. Great food (best breakfast in a long time) and they were super helpful. We got our laundry done and got help with purchasing some groceries *cough* beer. They went above and beyond. A little out of town but actually the main road they are off of is filled with great spots

    Nothing bad to say about this hotel. I spent there just one night, so I wasn’t expecting a 5 star grand hotel or a perfect service. The place is cute, the pool is nice, the breakfast is rich and included in the price.

  • 3/5 Anna M. 11 months ago on Google
    The hotel was ok for spend one or two nights, the service were very kind. Is near to the river and a lot of vegetation! The only inconvenient is the situation, if you want to go to Kandy city is quite far.

    If you're looking for a perfect getaway in Kandy, this has to be it. This Riverside Villa offers everything in terms of AC rooms, amazing pool, freshly cooked meals by the host as well as a picturesque view from the balcony. Highly recommended if you're planning to stay in Kandy!

    Be careful and don't go there. After long travel we end up in that place, we're starving and ordered the dinner. After alamost two hours waiting we got a dish. We could smell the alkohol from service people, they were laughing and having fun watching us. Breakfast portions like for a child- one egg and toast plus bread and fruit plate which is a joke. Nice view from the room and that's all from good things. Not happy

  • 1/5 Sasanka B. 1 year ago on Google
    Unsatisfied with their service towards local visitors. Owner is unfriendly and have no sense about how to treat visitors. Maybe he have some sort of a mental illness.

  • 4/5 Isuru G. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is very good, but food not so much. Not tasty and portion-wise not so good. Not sure whether they have improved the cooking now, but my recommendation is to order food from outside. Swimming pool and garden area is nice to be relaxed. River is also visible from there. Parking space is available at entrance and also near the reception.

  • 5/5 Adam E. 6 years ago on Google
    Really lovely and genuine family owned and operated business. Rooms very comfortable, very clean. River views were lovely with lots of birdlife to enjoy. Home cooking was really authentic and terrific, make sure you specially request Sri Lankan breakfast in advance! We really enjoyed our stay and I would comfortably recommend this place to fellow travelers.

    Nice and clean place with a great view of river. Woth of its price. A bit far from city center though but easy to reach with tuktuk. Recommended for people on budget.
