Guest Reviews

• Britt (5/5): Decent for a night - Great staff and food It’s pretty run down
• Telma (9/5): - Ficamos no quarto com o jacuzzi e foi incrível! Vista, comodidades, limpeza, privacidade e o restaurante é muito muito bom! A localização é no topo de uma montanha e há partes sem luz. Se tiver motorista não há problema mas no meu caso que estávamos em self drive foi um pouco complicado. Também é isolado por isso qualquer coisa que se precise tem de se ir de carro. A piscina era óptima mas por ter tanta vegetação tinha uns sapinhos lá dentro
• Vishvanath (10/5): -
• Sonam (9/5): Quaint and pretty place, atop Hantana Hills, offering lush green views with morning mist - Great views, perched on the top of a hill, so you can experience some great morning mist/ on top of clouds experience. Views are great and green. Food was very good too. Staff was great and extremely helpful.
• Abdul (8/5): Good vibe -
• AKIKO (7/5): -
• Tyler (8/5): Decent stay, nice staff, good breakfast, 20 minute ride into Kandy centre - Quiet with decent views A little dated and despite being one of only a handful of guests at the time, we were put in what felt a little like the dungeon!
• Lisa (8/5): -
• michelle (10/5): All the staff were very attentive. The dinner was incredible. We ordered 5 different dishes from the menu and all were e - The location is in the mountain which equals peace and quiet. The pool overlooks the beautiful city.
• Paul (5/5): - Food was very tasty. Very expensive. Not up to 5 star expectations - room and hotel a little tired.
• tara (10/5): - Location was very nice It was all excellent
• Sven (8/5): - Beautiful relaxed setting, however a bit far from downtown, also a bit complicated for some tuk tuk driver to find. Beautiful infinity pool and dantastic terasse for breakfast or dinner
• Eugenio (9/5): Very good stay - Very nice view from room. Great staff, very good food!
• Hubert (9/5): -
• Steffen (10/5): - Super fint og venligt personale Rent og pænt Rigtig dejligt mad Beliggenheden i forhold til beskrivelsen på jeres hotelsider stemmer ikke overens. Vi lejede det fordi der i beskrivelsen står at det ligger i centrum. Hvilket er langt fra virkeligheden. Liger langt uden for byen. Oppe i “bjergene”. Men det ligger i smuk natur - skøn udsigt. Tuk Tuk og Uber ville helst ikke komme og hente os. Det tog hver gang meget lang tid. Vejen til hotellet er rigtig dårlig og hullet. Vi flyttede ned i Kandy efter et par dage fordi vi så kunne gå til byen ca 300 meter. En godtgørelse af en art kunne være passende.
• Trine Lise (6/5): - God mat. Nydelig landskapelig utsikt. Personale var vennlig og imøtekommende. Vi bodde på Suiten (1) og airconditionen både i stue og på soverom var gammel og bråkte veldig mye - umulig å sove med denne på.
• Sanjula (8/5): -
• Arman (7/5): A peaceful hotel with nice views, but unfortunately overpriced for the overall experience - The hotel is located on a hill above Kandy, which gives it beautiful views and a very peaceful atmosphere away from the busy city. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. In our opinion the hotel felt quite overpriced for what it offers. We initially planned to stay longer but decided to leave after one night. Also, the road leading up to the hotel is quite steep and narrow, which can make getting there a bit challenging.
• Elke (9/5): - Ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt, sauberes Zimmer, sehr freundliches Personal und ein wunderschönes Ausblick von der Terrasse
• IKOYI1953 (10/5): Wonderful introduction to Sri Lanka - We stayed for three nights at the Theva Residency, from 29 January 202, Kandy being the first stop in our visit to St Lanka. What an exceptional place - from our warm greeting, the courteous, thoughtful and professional staff, absolutely delicious food (my husband enjoyed his Sri Lankan breakfast while I am still dreaming about that homemade coconut icecream!) in the well run restaurant. The location of the Theva Residency is stunning, with views from our room and the restaurant. Thank you for a most enjoyable stay, highly recommend.
• Jean Claude (10/5): Repos bien mérité sur les toits de Kandy ! - Magnifique établissement sur les hauteurs, loin du bruit de la ville. Accueil et personnel adorable et aux petits soins. On y est resté deux jours et on s’est régalés avec leur délicieuse cuisine. On a pris une chambre ground floor avec balcon et très belle vue. Que du bonheur ! Les presque 30 % de taxes sur tout…
• François (10/5): -
• Jean-Philippe (8/5): Au calme à 10 min du temple de la dent - Vue exceptionnelle sur les alentours, coucher de soleil sublime. Dîner et petit déjeuner de qualité avec service rapide. Espace piscine restreint. Sauna et hammam annoncés pas en service au moment de l’utilisation , long moment de chauffe. Route d’accès assez raide. La propreté des chambres mériterait d’être approfondie

• Omar (1/5): لم اجد فندق ب الأساس - لم اجد الفندق هذا ابداً حصلت فندق آخر ليسى كما هو بالصور لا يوجد له طريق وصور كاذبه
• Lucie (7/5): Great facilities, lovely staff but too far out of town for us. - Brilliant facilities and super friendly staff! Room was nice and clean. Restaurant food was delicious! Location was too far from the centre so not walkable to town and required a car rather than tuk tuk. If you want a peaceful retreat without going out then this is the perfect place for you.
• Tom (9/5): -
• Yavuz Mert (4/5): -
• Sheetal (8/5): - Location was excellent with fantastic views and beautiful rooms. Bathrooms needed a little updating but can only expect so much at that height! Staff were so friendly and THE FOOD IS EXCEPTIONAL!!! Not much, bathroom a little dated but doesn't affect the stay
• Dimity (9/5): Boutique stay 15 minutes out of the hustle & bustle of Kandy. - The view is amazing from the outdoor terrace and room. The restaurant food was excellent. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We received a bonus room upgrade. Great location in the residential area of Kandy.
• Omar (9/5): Amazing stay at this wonderful hotel and I would definitely come again! - The room was huge and had everything you could possibly need. Incredible views from the room and anywhere in the hotel. Staff were all exceptional and very friendly, welcoming and helpful. AC was a little old and sometimes not working that well. Location is amazing for views and peace/quiet but for that reason it is more difficult to get to at the top of the mountain.
• Tony (10/5): Excellent hotel would definitely recommend if you are staying in Kandy - Lovely friendly staff. Great room with a great view and a comfy bed Nothing
• Mohamed (10/5): - The staff was helpful The view was amazing The room was clean
• Deanne (8/5): We loved our stay and the staff were lovely and very helpful - The sauna, stream room and pool. Comfortable beds and the food was amazing Nothing
• Alexandra (8/5): -
• CarlaBrighton (10/5): Peaceful retreat with excellent food, views and service. - Perfect hideaway above the city. A few kilometres up above Kandy with stunning views, a peaceful atmosphere and attentive staff. Quiet and calm with a feeling of being in nature and amongst the trees. The pool area is a little cramped but the pool itself is nice enough. The food is a highlight, tasty treats for breakfast and dinner.
• Angelah (9/5): -
• Hoda (10/5): Great - It was super cozy.well location and the best food it was a little isolated
• Cyliane (10/5): Un séjour d’exception - Wouah ! Quel séjour !! L’accueil est vraiment convivial. Nous nous sommes tout de suite sentis bien. Notre petit garçon a attiré l’attention de tout le monde et c’était vraiment appréciable. Les petits déjeuners, tout comme les repas (midi et soir, disponibles à toute heure par ailleurs…) étaient délicieux. Les cocktails sont très bons aussi. La vue est exceptionnelle, le personnel aux petits soins et la chambre est grande, confortable et agréable. Un grand merci ! Nous sommes éloignés du centre (mais pour avoir une telle vue, pas le choix). Je précise que cela ne nous a pas dérangé car nous mangions à l’hôtel et c’est ce que nous recherchions mais peut-être que cette information peut servir à d’autres. Cela a seulement été compliqué pour négocier le prix du tuk-tuk depuis le jardin botanique car les chauffeurs demandaient une plus grosse somme que d’habitude du fait de l’altitude. Enfin, la piscine était tout juste chaude, mais j’imagine que cela est dû aux quelques jours pluvieux précédents.
• Sebastien (4/5): -
• 937bharats (10/5): Amazing - Beautiful location Nice staff. Mr Russel and Deepika and rest of the staff. Made our stay wonderful specially for my mom 70 th Birthday . With cake and decoration. Superb. Thank you to the team.
• alpesh (9/5): Great location great staff - This place is located up the hill overlooking Kandy. It's location is great to get away from the hustle of the city but easy reach to surrounding attractions. The first room was great overlooking the surround area and the only sounds were of nature , birds ,monkeys and at night a cocophy of frogs. This room had a balcony which was great to sit and relax during the day and night. They had swimming pool and sauna , we didn't use due to time constraints. The breakfast was great, all freshly prepared and served by very friendly team. As the hotel was not busy we were offered rooms on the top floor which were fantastic. These had even better 360 views of the surrounding countryside. The rooms are well maintained and luxurious, beds are comfortable. Special mention to Vasantha who was there most mornings to welcome us to breakfast with a smile. All in all a great stay, highly recommended.

• dufberg (10/5): Two night stay - Staying at Theva Residency was an unforgettable experience. Perched high in the hills of Kandy, the views overlooking the city and surrounding mountains were absolutely breathtaking—especially at sunrise and sunset. The staff were incredibly warm, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile, making us feel at home right away. Our room was modern, spotless, and designed with comfort in mind, while still letting us enjoy the serene atmosphere of the hillside. The infinity pool was a highlight, offering panoramic views while we relaxed. The restaurant served some of the best meals we had in Sri Lanka, combining local flavors with fine dining presentation. We left feeling refreshed, pampered, and already planning to return.
• 973senthilkumarr (10/5): Exceptional Dining with Outstanding Hospitality at Theva Cuisine - We, 3 friends, had a truly memorable experience at Theva Cuisine in Kandy. The setting is absolutely stunning – perched above the city with panoramic views of the lush green hills. It is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy a refined meal while taking in the peaceful surroundings. The food was exceptional, beautifully presented, and a wonderful balance of Sri Lankan flavors with an international twist. Each dish felt thoughtfully prepared, using fresh local ingredients, and the quality really stood out. What made our visit even more special was the warm and attentive service. A special word of thanks to Deepika, the Front Office Manager, who went above and beyond to make our travel arrangement to Kandy town. . Her professionalism, local knowledge, and genuine care made us feel very well looked after. Theva Cuisine is not just about fine dining – it’s about the whole experience of hospitality, comfort, and unforgettable views. While it is priced higher than casual restaurants in town, the quality, service, and atmosphere make it excellent value. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kandy – whether for a special occasion, a romantic evening, or simply to enjoy some of the best cuisine and service in the region.
• Seaside58423886075 (10/5): Charming boutique hotel - We had a fantatic stay at this charming hotel. We were here with our 1 year old and the staff went out of their way to accommodate us with a lovely big room and cot. The restaurant has the best food, service and views in Kandy.
• Valentina (10/5): -

• Heike (10/5): - Superschöne Zimmer mit schöner Aussicht auf Kandy. Sehr freundlicher Chef und nettes, stets hilfsbereites Personal. Wunderschönes Zimmer unserer Söhne mit eigenem Jakuzzi und toller Aussicht. Wunderbares und feines Restaurant mit exquisiter Küche und eigenem Konditor. Dieser hat extra für unseren Sohn zu seinem 18. Geburtstag eine excellente und schön verzierte Schokotorte gebacken. Etwas verwaister Pooltable im UG, aber gerne abends gespielt. Lage oben am Hügel, man muss mit Tuc Tucnach Kandy (ca. 8 Minuten)

• Allen (10/5): - Tranquil Luxury with Outstanding Service at Theva Residency Our stay at Theva Residency was truly a memorable experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our visit was taken care of — starting with helping us find a secure parking space, which was greatly appreciated. The hospitality extended into every corner of the property. The team preparing our meals was attentive and clearly took pride in their work, creating an exceptional Sri Lankan breakfast that showcased local flavors beautifully. We also enjoyed the dinner option, which was well-prepared and satisfying. Every request we had was met with a smile and genuine willingness to help. Our room was spacious, clean, and had breathtaking views overlooking Kandy — a perfect spot to unwind. The addition of a private hot tub was an unexpected luxury that added to the relaxing atmosphere. The lush gardens surrounding the property made the entire place feel peaceful and inviting. It was the ideal setting to slow down and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. We would absolutely recommend Theva Residency to anyone visiting Kandy. It’s a wonderful blend of warm hospitality, modern comfort, and natural serenity.

The staff went above and beyond to make our stay spectacular. Thank you to Iresh and the team for making our visit so memorable. The attention to detail at this hotel was world class, from the food and beverage offerings to the rooms everything was amazing. The view from the property was truly stunning as well, especially in the mornings. There is no better place to stay in Kandy. Theva should be an essential stop for all of the town’s visitors.
• WhatMinouSees (10/5): A True Gem in Kandy Sri Lanka 10 out of 5 stars service - We stayed 4 nights at Theva Residency up the Hantana Hills away from the sort of polluted city air down below. Theva provided me a brilliant haven during my first Sri Lankan adventure, they made an everlasting impression on how I looked at Sri Lanka. Everything was superb, from the management to the team of male staff, they were cheerful, friendly, respectful and they all worked in unisent. Upon arrival we were welcomed with a glass of refreshing amarella fruit drink (salty but sweet at the same time). I used to eat this fruit in Chinatown in Houston, New York or while traveling in Southeast Asia but never as a juice, from that day on I had one made for me everyday. We were given a room next to the pool, it was filled with sunlight and very spacious with a big balcony but there was a minor leak from the ceiling down the wall to the floor, we informed the management and they moved us to another room which has a jacuzzi by the glass window. It was an upgrade as the manager put it though it’s a tiny bit smaller with no balcony but it was a very beautiful room, the spacious shower is better designed aesthetically also more practical; the floor didn’t get wet when I shower like the room before the upgrade. THANK YOU!!! Very comfortable, AC worked perfectly and not noisy, plenty of hot water for the shower and the jacuzzi. They also a hot sauna which I used one time (ask them to turn it on one hour before) it was at 60 according to the thermostat, hot enough to relax and sweat some. They even had an hourglass of 15m in the sauna, I’m a sauna girl and that was a very thoughtful detail. Theva Cuisine is the name of the restaurant they have on site where we had breakfast, dinner and lunch sometimes, loved their breakfast with fresh homemade bread and pastries. Their dishes are versatile made to please all guests from different cultures/countries. There was a lot of umps in every bite, an explosion of emotion in each morceau. They even went out of their way to prepare dishes my way or fruit drinks that I would make for myself at home. Once they learnt that we like our food authentic and spicy the game was on. Words cannot describe how we enjoyed our stay at Theva with amazingly spectacular views from either sitting at their infinity pool or sitting by the windowsill in the room. The management and the staff run a tight ship show, well trained, well disciplined. Ms. Dheeshana, the owner/management director, was on site when we were staying at the residency, we share the same opinion that she should open a business in training hotel staff, we were so impressed with her staff. Me, personally, I felt as if I was in a grand hotel like Hôtel Negresco in Nice on the Promenade des Anglais. By the way, loved her herb garden, I even had fresh spinach soup, it was out of this word.
• Mark (10/5): Exceptional Service , wonderful airy location and world class food - Exceptional service …very high end Asian fusion food. Super Clean . Staff couldn’t be more helpful. Need to replace the Sun bed mattresses
• barcaranger (10/5): Top Class Boutique Hotel - Overall an excellent hotel with excellent service. We had a room which ended up having a small leak in the wall and they gave us an upgrade to a better room with a jacuzzi which was very nice but honestly the other room was nice as well. As it’s ultra low season there was never many people in the hotel so the staff couldn’t be more helpful Things to be aware of It’s quite a way up the hill from town you can walk down in 40 mins if you don’t get lost but it would be quite a slog up . I got a tuk tuk up for 700 Rupees which is just over 2 dollars. Ok what about the food ? …,overall excellent. Wonderful breakfasts dreamy dinner love the possibly too small portions of meatballs with so many flavour profiles and the black pork curry was fantastic maybe could have been a bit more spicy but I guess they are catering for a very international audience. If anything wasn’t quite as you wanted it you they did this best to change it. They could have mean more generous with the free water in the room rather than 2 tiny bottles ( but when asked they always provided them free of charge . The mats for the sun beds need to be replaced as they slip off all the time as all the straps are broken These though are very very minor points So would I stay here again definitely and for what I paid due to the season excellent value. Food is a real positive. Definitely high end Asian fusion The range of juices all freshly made are all excellent. Great hotel glad we decided to stay there and will certainly come back next time I’m in Kandy. The Staff make it. One final point up so high on the hill the air is much much cleaner , there is a lovely breeze and it’s much calmer than down in the town. For an extended stay this for me is the only location I would stay in
• Saud (1/5): Bad - so bad so not clean if you call the room service no answer if they answer thay do nothing am not recommending at all
• wendysX6647CF (10/5): Slightly older hotel but still fantastic - We stayed in various locations and this was probably the oldest of the hotels but still amazing. The views were second to none, the food really reasonable and really tasty with good ingredients. The staff couldn't do enough. The pool is slightly cold, that's the only negative but you're there for the view
• Dipti (10/5): Fantastic - Amazing hotel located out of the city centre. A bit tricky to get tuktuks amazing service and the views were great.. It’s a shame the trees covered the views from the infinity pool
• iain (8/5): - Theva Residency is a nice hotel. Our room was good, comfortable and clean with a decent shower. We had a room with a terrace and lovely view of the hills around Kandy. Nice pool with good views. Breakfast was very good. The location is very scenic but nothing walkable that we found, although it's only a ten minute or so tuktuk ride down to the city which the hotel arranged. Definitely recommend a tuktuk tour of the temples and a visit to the Botanic Gardens is a must as they are huge, beautiful and very well maintained.
• Harrison (5/5): Overall, a mediocre hotel - Scenic views of the mountains, dinner at the hotel restaurant was great and upgraded room was spacious. The hotel cleanliness was not of a high standard, particularly the pool area. When trying to book excursions, activities or transfers they were extremely unhelpful.
• Maria (10/5): Exceptional - Very comfortable bed, amazing food, very friendly staff. Perfect location for people who appreciate their sleep and don't like to stay in the busy city centre, but to have easy access to it.
• Bruce (8/5): Very good -
• Paul (8/5): Pleasant stay with fantastic views. - Location along way from city and a long way up a hill but fantastic views and very quiet which suited us. Dinner excellent but wines dreadful and certainly not cheap after adding all the extra charges on top of prices shown. Breakfast also excellent. Loved the views. Not alot of atmosphere,staff very friendly and efficient but lacked any charisma and didn't really want to engage in any conversation.
• Alam (3/5): It's awful stay - I don't recommend it. Awful stay. Staff were not good and friendly at all. Booking.com showing 5 star but there is nothing compared to a good hotel. limited food option. i would say hotel is dirty and not clean at all. compared to facilities room rate is very very high. There should be more option for breakfast. Staff should be more friendly for tourist specially manager.
• Carol (10/5): Exceptional - Such helpful lovely staff. A beautiful location. Peaceful and serene with a very large, comfortable room. The food was excellent too. Russell and the team looked after us well.
• Navigate10104025372 (10/5): A really relaxing hotel with outstanding views and lovely staff - Huge and very scenic room, with lovely massive comfy bed and great balcony. Lovely welcoming staff made one feel at home. The view of the hills and Kandy are superb..the pool is refreshing with a great view . Such a relaxing location away from Kandy hustle and bustle.
• Paul (8/5): Had a really pleasant stay as part of a 2 stop stay in Sri Lanka. Russell and his team couldn’t do enough for us. Food w - Limited drinking water Limited space around the pool
• Fiona (7/5): very friendly staff, nice restaurant, lovely breakfast - we had two rooms. Room 7 was excellent large spacious nicely decorated, nice balcony and we were very happy with it, however the other couple had room 15 which was unimpressive small poor decor and a gap in the window frame, (which they had to stuff with tissue and put repellent spray to stop insects getting in) swimming pool area dated and in need improvement, we had meal which was nice, lovely cocktails and wonderful breakfast. The staff were also very helpful and friendly
