Pros:

We spent 2 nights at Riverside Inn Fuji and it was perfect mix of relaxation and experience. We loved our comfortable and clean room overlooking the river and the calm and lush garden where we could cool down in the infinity pool as if we were swimming in river. The guest house is beautifully designed and we immediately felt at home there, above all, thanks to the friendly owners. They not only made us feel very welcome and prepared delicious home-cooked breakfast, but also arranged a boat safari with Lucky Boat and made sure we got around safely in TukTuk. Thank you for for making our stay enjoyable and memorable.

Lekkere plek vooral met een lekker zwembad in de hitte van Sigirya.
Pros:

Het zwembad en de plek buiten de kamer was heel fijn.

Cons:

De vliegen, maar daar kan de accommodatie niets aan doen.

Beautiful, calm, most lovely owners
Pros:

We stayed here as a family of four and left with a very good impression. The location by the river is lovely, and the breakfast was generous and well prepared.

What made this place genuinely different, though, were the two owners. They welcomed us warmly and seemed truly happy to have guests — not in a performative way, but with a calm, genuine ease that was immediately noticeable. Interesting to talk to, never intrusive. Our children felt completely at home.

A peaceful and well-run little place. We can recommend it without hesitation.

Wunderbar und hoher Standard
Pros:

Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich und interessiert, haben schon einiges von der Welt gesehen und man kann sich gut mit Ihnen unterhalten. Die Lage ist traumhaft am Fluss, sehr ruhig, viel Natur, dennoch ist man auch schnell am Strand. Das Frühstück ist sehr gut.

Külalislahkus ja hea asukoht
Pros:

Väga külalislahke ja armas pererahvas, kes hoolitses meie eest. Majutusel on ilus aiakene ja bassein, jalutuskäigu kaugusel mitmeid häid söögikohti. Maitsevat hommikusööki sai süüa jõe ääres, mis oli alati kaunilt serveeritud.

Beautiful riverside stay.
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay. The owners are so kind and welcoming. The property is spotlessly clean and has beautiful views of the river. Also a nice pool and beautiful garden where you can relax after a day exploring or on the beach.

The owner can arrange for a local guide to pick you up by boat directly from the jetty at the property to explore the lagoon and mangroves which is highly recommended.

Very nice breakfast too.

We will definitely stay here again next time we visit Sri Lanka.

Really impressive
Pros:

Chill , very calm place and clean in good standard
They have a nice uncle and aunt take care us.
But even they have only 3 staff like home business.
They can do a well management better than some hotel in city center.

The location give you a good rest.

Nous avons passé une semaine extraordinaire remplie de beaux et heureux moments.
Pros:

L’hospitalité exceptionnelle, l’accueil familial et bienveillant, la gentillesse et la générosité de Kumara et son équipe.
L’environnement verdoyant au bord de la rivière est très agréable, paisible et ressourçant.
L’aide considérable apportée pour faciliter la planification et l’organisation des excursions.
