"Very special place 30 or so minutes outside of Kandy, near Wattegama.

The walk around the spice garden and local village was so interesting. Such a unique bonus to make this more of an experience than just a bed for the night. The food we had was some of the best we ate all trip. Definitely...

Top Riverston Hotel Reviews

Radisson Hotel Kandy

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel and location, easy walk or tuk tuk ride to the city centre. Our room was spacious and with a balcony which was a bonus and had a great view. The pool area is on the rooftop and the bar serves good food. Great hotel"

Sevana City Hotel Kandy

10/10 Excellent

"One of our best stays in Sri Lanka. We would’ve stayed an extra night and stayed one extra night in Kandy but sadly we were just passing through."

Kandy Myst by Cinnamon

10/10 Excellent

"We would highly recommend this hotel. The staff were lovely!"

Hotel Casamara

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is located very convenient near the temple of the sacred tooth relic. The staff is incredibly welcoming and helpful. We came by car and could park at the hotel car parking in front of the hotel. From there we were incredibly friendly and sufficient guided through the whole process. Within no time we were in our rooms.. with a nice few and wonderful balcony. The diner and breakfast were wonderful. The owner of the hotel can be proud on this staff group!! Also the Barista across the street was a big plus."

"Stunning views all around. Rooms are spacious, but some areas could be cleaner. Pool is stunning if you can brave the cold! Staff were excellent, very attentive and helpful. The staff made the trip!"

Ferndale Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"Wow what an experience it was to stay here! It is so off the beaten track that you need collecting by the hotel staff in a very heavy duty jeep because a normal car stands no chance of getting there. It is the most peaceful place I have ever been with the most amazing views of the mountains. I will say it is so remote that you can’t just pop out for lunch etc so make sure you’re prepared with things to keep you entertained for your stay. The food was all incredible and the staff were some of the most attentive yet. Because it is such a small hotel with only four pods they really look after you and everything is tailored exactly to you from menu choices to timings etc. All the staff were so kind and really went above and beyond to offer PERFECT service. I would recommend this hotel for the staff alone, the amazing location just makes it even better. We did the waterfall trek with one of their staff too which was great. He was very knowledgable pointing out different plants and stopping for us to try the wild cardamom, berries etc."

Simpson's Forest Hotel

8/10 Good

"The most beautiful pool and surroundings Staff was helpful. Amazing views and quiet rooms! Pool bar and food overall were not up to a 5 star hotel, but beautiful surroundings "
