Mooi hotel met zwembad en zicht op de rivier
Pros:

Het hotel heeft mooie kamers (wel opletten voor mensen die slecht te been zijn, er kunnen wel wat trappen zijn..) en heeft een mooie ligging aan de rivier. Als er water zou zijn (wij hadden een droge periode) zou het zicht op de rivier heel mooi zijn. Het zwembad was OK en ook het restaurant is wel gezellig.

Cons:

Wat moeilijker bereikbaar via een smal weggetje van de hoofdbaan naar beneden naar de rivier, maar wij hadden een private driver dus niet echt een probleem voor ons.

A beautiful home in the middle of nature 🌿❤️
Pros:

A beautiful home in the middle of nature 🌿❤️

We absolutely loved our stay at Kandy Riverside Villa! It is a wonderful family-run place where you are welcomed not just as a guest, but almost like a member of the family.

The owners and staff are incredibly kind, warm and caring. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed and looked after.

The breakfasts were absolutely delicious and very generous, with fresh local food. We even enjoyed bananas growing right there on the property — it really makes you feel connected to the place and nature.

The surroundings are simply incredible: lush, almost wild tropical jungle, with the villa located right by the river and beautiful views of the water. Our room was very comfortable, but our favourite part was the gorgeous terrace. Sitting there in the evening, listening to the sounds of the jungle and the river, was such a peaceful and special experience.

The hostess Thandanie is a wonderful, friendly and genuinely kind person, and the whole atmosphere of the villa feels warm and personal.

We enjoyed every moment of our stay and would absolutely love to come back again. If you are looking for beautiful nature, peace, authentic Sri Lankan hospitality and a place that feels like home, Kandy Riverside Villa is a wonderful choice.

Highly recommended! 🌿💚

Très jolie villa en bordure de rivière avec piscine et hôtes chaleureux
Pros:

Très belle maison d’hôtes à l’écart de l’agitation de Kandy centre, accessible en bus facilement puis un peu de marche ou en Tuktuk. La vue sur la rivière et la piscine sont agréables. Les hôtes sont très accueillants et chaleureux et proposent un très bon petit déjeuner et des repas. La chambre est confortable et propre.

Pros:

Very clean and beautiful with a great view. Easy access to Kandy town and points of interest. Staff were very friendly and responded right away. Beds were comfortable and the rooms were spacious. Very beautiful lounge space with great views. We were a large group and the 4 bedroom villa had plenty of space. Loved our stay and we would definitely come back again if we are traveling with a big group.

Cons:

The hot water wasn't very hot and the pressure was low.
