Guest Reviews

• Jack (8/5): -
• Nadeesha (9/5): - Cleanliness , good staff, relaxing atmosphere
• Dilshan & Bimali (10/5): -
• Roxana (9/5): -
• JeAlFd (7/5): Relaxing Place - The place was nice Nothing
• Carsten (9/5): Wir würden es erneut buchen - Ruhiges Hotel, tolle Ausstattung, hochwertige Möbel (Geschmack ist damit nicht gemeint, das ist sehr individuell). Sehr schönes und exklusives Anwesen auf der anderen Straßenseite, wo man den Pool mit nutzen kann. Erst hieß es, der auf der anderen Straßenseite liegende Pool sei Sonntags immer geschlossen, wegen Chlorierung. Nach Ausdruck der Enttäuschung hieß es erst, zu gefährlich, dann plötzlich , jetzt würde es doch gehen. Sehr komisch. Das gebuchte Abendessen war gut, aber nicht a la carte und wirklich sehr knapp.
• peter Ufrla (10/5): Jedna noc na ceste po Srí Lanke - Hotel krásny , izby veľmi krásne zariadene. Postele fantastické kde sa krásne vyspíte. Nakoľko sme prišli dosť neskoro tak majiteľ a kuchyňa počkala na nás večerou, raňajky fantastické. Ráno na balkóne je krásna hudba vtákov. -
• Heidi (10/5): -
• Heidi (10/5): - Sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Hotel, schöne saubere Zimmer, ruhige Lage, sehr gutes Frühstück, sehr freundliches Personal.
• Alizée (8/5): Nice stay; good location and very friendly staff. - Very friendly and helpful staff, good quiet location (nothing around really but close from the city). Nice swimming pool. Fairly spacious rooms. Too much noise from the construction work of the extension. Sound insulation isn’t really great. It’s a shame because it’s a quiet location, but noise comes from inside. Could also benefit from a light renovation as the room was a bit damp.
• leon (8/5): -
• Claire (8/5): Great. - Clean rooms, beautiful communal areas, swimming pool was a fab addition. Pool closure at 6pm.
• Zuzana (9/5): -
• Katarzyna (5/5): Not staying again - Double room provided were very nice We didn't end up staying, as we needed one tripple room and the property couldn't provide it. The staff on site couldn't speak English and wasn't able to help
• Ludmila (10/5): Sehr empfehlenswert. Sowohl für Singles als auch für Familien. - Das Personal kriegt von mir 100 von 10 Punkten. Alle waren so freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir waren eine Gruppe von 10 Leuten und alle waren traurig, das Hotel wieder verlassen zu müssen. Wir haben zum Frühstück traditionelles Essen bekommen und das Personal hat sich die Mühe gemacht, uns alles genau zu erklären.
• Sofia (8/5): - Personale molto gentile, camera pulita. Abbiamo anche cenato lì, era tutto molto buono! Fuori dal caos di Kandy. Lo consiglio!
• Marek Dukát (10/5): -
• Szilvia (9/5): -
• Céline🌴 (8/5): - Très bon accueil , personnel très gentil , très bonne cuisine maison Le matelas n'était pas confortable
• Catarina (10/5): - Tudo muito bom. Melhor Hotel em Sri Lanka
• Darya (8/5): -
• HAO (10/5): -
• Beatrix (10/5): Remek, minden stimmelt. - Ez a szálló volt Sti Lankán a legjobb. Minden első osztályú: szoba, ellátás személyzet, ár!! Nincs ilyen.
• Melissa (10/5): -
• Tiago (2/5): Irreführende Fotos - Personal war grundsätzlich nett. Drei Meter vom Zimmer entfernt war eine Baustelle, welche noch Monate andauern wird. Der Pool befindet sich nicht im Hotel, sondern im Haus des Besitzers auf der anderen Strassenseite. Das Bett war laut und unbequem. Die Dusche hatte zeitweise kein warmes Wasser.
• Mathilde (10/5): - Hôtel très moderne, propre Chambre impeccable, tout y est ! Petits déjeuners avec buffet assez varié Repas du soir (entrée plat dessert) menu unique très bon et qualitatif ! A noter que la piscine n’est pas directement dans l’hôtel mais dans une villa juste en face, il suffit de traverser la rue
• Kieran (6/5): Peaceful - The room is fabulous and the common areas are beautifully laid out. Peaceful night sleep . Breakfast was lovely - simple soft drinks were not available when we stayed. The pool in the main picture isn’t of the Rivora residence it’s across the road and is barely accessible because of hours of opening. Just the fact felt like we were fooled by the picture being on a different premises I didn’t really like that. Even if it is just short stroll across road . We asked at 2 could we use it told it was being cleaned and then it closes at 6x
• Predrag (10/5): - The property is in a quiet neighborhood away from Kandy’s bustle and chaos. The staff incredibly nice and friendly and made us feel super comfortable and valued during our stay. Everything was perfect for a short stay.
• Rita (10/5): -
• Joshua (10/5): - 4 star rooms in a small boutique hotel. Great design and amenities. Big rooms. Just great Stairs to rooms with bags
• enyedi (10/5): -
• Clare (9/5): - Lovely hotel. Very clean and spacious. Breakfast good and lots of it. Nice pool area. It’s in a nice area but a fair way from town. There were only 2 sunbeds by the pool which is definitely not enough for the number of guests Hotel closes at 10pm so you can’t be late in!
• melis (8/5): -
• Shilpa (9/5): Good for a short stay - Large, spacious, scenic property Service was a bit slow
• Rashmi (9/5): - It was a really nice hotel, thank you all.
• Shakti (9/5): -
• Roger (9/5): - Schönes Hotel, gute Lage mit Aussicht.
• Leandro (8/5): -
• Pia (8/5): Angenehmes Hotel - Die Zimmer sind geräumig und sauber. Das Personal ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Kaffee und Tee wird im Zimmer bereitgestellt. Der angepriesene Swimmingpool ist strickt offen von 10-18 Uhr. Zu dieser Zeit ist man im allgemeinen nicht im Hotel! Da waren sie sehr unflexibel, was uns sehr störte.

• Kinga (10/5): A peaceful escape with breathtaking views and exceptional hospitality - I booked the entire Rivora Residence for a group, and honestly, it was the best accommodation we had in Sri Lanka. The staff were exceptionally kind, helpful, and always smiling, which made us feel truly welcome from the first moment. The cleanliness was outstanding — everything was spotless, the bed linen was fresh and pleasantly scented, and unlike many other accommodations in Sri Lanka, there was absolutely no damp or moldy smell at all. The rooms were very spacious, with a large and comfortable living area. One of the highlights of our stay was the peaceful atmosphere and the stunning view. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, surrounded by nature, and the silence was truly relaxing — perfect for unwinding and enjoying the moment. Waking up to this view in the morning was unforgettable. Breakfast was delicious and carefully prepared, making our mornings even better. Our only regret is that we stayed for just two nights. We would happily return anytime and stay longer without hesitation.
• Noelia (10/5): El mejor hotel de Srilanka - Todo, el mejor hotel en el que hemos estado de Srilanka con diferencia, llegamos a este hotel tras cancelar una noche en otro del ciudad porque era un desastre, y nos encontramos con el paraíso, hotel increíble, personal super amable, atento , serviciales . Desayuno muy bueno, pedimos cena tarde y nos dieron de cenar. Las instalaciones increíbles, la limpieza exquisita y el personal maravilloso , sin duda el mejor hotel de Kandy y en mi caso de todos los que hemos estado en Srilanka Aconsejable al 100 por 100 Nada, todo maravilloso
• Miriam (9/5): Muy recomendable - Habitación muy espaciosa, cómoda y personal muy agradable. Todo estaba genial aunque poco alejado del centro de Kandy.
• Nicholas (10/5): - Great quiet location, slightly out the way from the main hustle of the centre of Kandy, comfy beds and pillows very clean and fresh like a 5* hotel
• Aija (9/5): - Great homestay in a quiet area
• Valentina (10/5): -
• Valentina (8/5): -
• ANUJ (9/5): - Friendly staff. Decent breakfast. Huge spacious rooms. Had a wonderful stay.
• Anita (10/5): An exceptional stay with outstanding comfort, views, and value, despite a few very minor details. - Everything about our stay at Rivora Residence was extraordinary – the stunning view, spacious room, beautiful and high-quality furniture with great attention to detail, impeccable cleanliness, and the incredibly kind and professional staff made the experience absolutely perfect. As very minor points, there is a building under construction extremely close to the balcony, the bed made a slight noise at times, and breakfast options were somewhat limited, but none of these affected our stay, especially considering the great value and all the other wonderful aspects of the property.
• Malgorzata (6/5): - Good value for money. During our stay, there was construction going on right outside the window, so we couldn’t even open the curtains because workers were walking on the scaffolding. We were not informed about this in advance. The swimming pool is not located at the hotel but in the building across the street
• MingTing Lu (8/5): - Water is not hot on the first night.
• stefano (9/5): Ottima scelta per un soggiorno fuori dal centro - Struttura elegante in un quartiere silenzioso. Camera accogliente e comoda. Bagno sopra la media degli hotel di stessa fascia. Colazione a buffet buona. Palestra datata
• marta (10/5): Bellissimo breve soggiorno a Kandy - Personale gentilissimo e disponibile Bellissimo giardino con piscina Camera accoglienti Ottimo prezzo . Tutto bellissimo
• LOKESH (9/5): -
• HaJe1 (8/5): - Ruime en schone kamer. Het personeel doet zijn best om het naar je zin te maken. Het is wel behoorlijk ver van het centrum. Daarnaast is het zwembad aan de overkant van het hotel en stond de water circulatie uit.
• Florian (8/5): - Sehr hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter
• Zhu (10/5): Best Stay in Sri Lanka with Picturesque View - Loved everything about this hotel and the pictures didn’t even do the justice. Sitting in the quiet (and posh) neighborhood, the hotel gives the luxury vibe with modest rate. Staff been super friendly and the food is good too! Space are all so well designed - picturesque views all around. Nothing really
• Anna (7/5): - Clean Noicy at night
• Anaranya Bagchi (10/5): Perfect Stay in Kandy - This was a perfect stay in Kandy for our family. Good location, great dinner and breakfast options (do ask for the local Sri Lankan meal which is not in the menu). Nice pool as well with lots of greenery. Very clean rooms and bathrooms. Would love to come back Nothing
• Pooja (9/5): Pancake - The furniture and bathroom No maple syrup for pancake
• Durvan (10/5): - Friendly staff, rooms were clean
• Bridget (9/5): - Hôtel très jolie, belle accueil du personnel avec un jus de fruits de bienvenue. L’équipe était très arrangeante. La chambre et la salle de bain sont jolies. Petit-déjeuner délicieux et copieux! La vue de la chambre donne directement sur un mur
• eva (10/5): Je recommande chaleureusement cet hôtel - Superbe établissement de 8 chambres. C’est très spacieux et très calme. Un cadre magnifique. Des chambres super confortables. On a dîné sur place menu copieux et délicieux à 3000 roupies par personne. Personnel très sympathique. Très bonne connexion wifi. La piscine est magnifique mais juste 2 transats et propreté bof.
• Agustin (10/5): Mejor hotel de Sri Lanka de lejos - Todo... el baño, el servicio, el desayuno, la limpieza, el salón común... el mejor hotel de sri lanka de lejos. gracias por el router privado, he tenido el mejor wifi, y deseaba cada mañana bajar a desayunar!
• Anıl Gökberk (9/5): -
• Mariam (10/5): Consigliato! - Colazione di qualità e servizio ineccepibile da parte di tutto il team che era sempre a disposizione per qualsiasi aiuto. Complimenti!
• Samarathunga (10/5): - Best place to stay a night, Recommended
• Fabia (10/5): Perfekte Unterkunft in Kandy - Wir haben eine Nacht in diesem Kolonialstil Hotel verbracht. Da es nicht direkt in der Stadt Kandy liegt war es äusserst ruhig. Es war sehr sauber und gepflegt. Das Personal war zuvorkommend und hat sich sehr um uns gekümmert. Auch das Frühstück war sehr gut!
• Alice (9/5): Molto bello, soggiorno gradito - Struttura ben curata, molto bella e pulita! Un po’ la lontananza dal centro
• boaz (9/5): -
• Susanne (10/5): - Die Lage war ruhig, das Zimmer wunderbar mit allen Vorzügen, die man braucht und das Personal super freundlich und hilfsbereit.
• Alessia (10/5): - Struttura di lusso in un angolo di paradiso immerso nel verde lontano dal caos di Kandy. Personale gentilissimo, colazione ottima e camere molto pulite. Ampie terrazze e spazi comuni, non manca nulla!
• Liliana (10/5): buono - buona posizione, personale gentile, camera grande, pulita, letti comodi. da migliorare la colazione, non proprio all'altezza.
• virginia (9/5): - Staff molto gentile e accogliente, sempre disponibile. Al secondo piano non funzionava bene il wi fi ma ci hanno dato un modem portatile risolvendo subito il problema (mi serviva per una chiamata urgente). Camera molto confortevole, pulita e dotata di tutto il necessario. Abbiamo potuto usufruire anche del servizio lavanderia, seppur un po’ caro, i vestiti ci sono stati restituiti perfetti. Colazione abbondante e buona anche la cena. Consigliato!
• Abdé (9/5): Très bel hôtel confortable, un peu à l'écart du centre. - Chambres très propres et confortables, petit déjeuner et dîner (attention similaire lors des deux nuits). Personnel sympathique. Emplacement de l'hôtel et un peu de bruit extérieur le matin.
• Hanan (10/5): אחלה מקום. - מקום מעולה. ארוחות בוקר מצוינות.
• Pedro (9/5): Très bien - L’hôtel très jolie, propre et confortable. Personnel très agréable et à l’écoute Chambres spacieuses et très propres Bon petit déjeuner Notre chambre avait un problème au niveau du WC qui était littéralement dans la douche. Pas du tout pratique
• Dorith (9/5): - Die Unterkunft ist sehr großzügig und privat, der Service war hervorragend. Sehr nettes Ambiente in gehobener Wohnlage. Mit dem TUK TUK ca. 10 Minuten bis Kandy. Wir hatten als Familie zwei Zimmer, davon hatte eins leider keinen Balkon und das Fenster hatte einen Abstand zur nächsten Hauswand von 1m. Tageslicht gab es somit nicht in unserem Zimmer.
• Giulia (8/5): - Si trova fuori Kandy in una zona molto tranquilla. La camera è grande e pulita e lo staff è gentile e disponibile. Cibo ottimo.
• Elena (10/5): - Nice stay just 7/8 km out from Kandy. Amazing breakfast and staff very very kind. Rooms are well equipped not super super cleaned. Recommended overall
• Frédéric (8/5): Very good -
• Lea (8/5): Very good -
• Alexandru (10/5): Exceptional -
• Prakash (10/5): Exceptional -
• Fulya (9/5): Best option in Kandy for families - After two horrible hotel experiences in Kandy, Rivora saved our trip. It was super clean and there was no damp while you cannot even breathe inside the rooms in all 4-5 star hotels in the city. If you are travelling with kids, avoid the health risk and choose this hotel. It is a bit far from the city but it is not a big problem since you need tuktuk for anywhere else as well.
• Agata (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing interior, very clean, very tasty breakfasts. We had great stay there. Location is far from the town and there is no restaurant on the place. It was not problem for us at all as we were mobile.
• Victoria (10/5): The room was comfortable, the breakfast and dinner were great and the staff very friendly. - The location is beautiful. It is located in a residential area with many big houses.
• Alexey (9/5): Superb -
• Chiara (10/5): Exceptional - Nice villa in a quiet area on the river. Wery nice and friendly staff. Rooms are big and clean. Breakfast is also big with fresh juice, fresh fruit eggs and typical Sri Lanka pancakes. Also possible to dine in. It is far from city center so you need a tuktuk to get there
• Ashish (8/5): Very good - Property rooms & breakfast were good. Quite place. its a bit far from main city & temple.
• Vali-khojeini (9/5): We had a wonderful nights stay at Rivora Residence. With its warm hospitality, lovely rooms with comfortable beds and th - The decor and furnishings were just beautiful colonial style
• Syed (3/5): Poor -
• Alison (10/5): Wonderful - This hidden gem is perfect for a relaxing getaway. The design and character adds an authentic charm. The breakfast was by far the best we have experienced.
• Anthony (10/5): We felt right at home and slept really well. - A really well finished boutique hotel with a homely feel. Everything was international standard; great bed, kind and hospitable staff, good breakfast and superb value. It was the best independent hotel we stayed at in Sri Lanka. A pool would have been perfect but not essential.
• Matilda (8/5): Superb. - Room size was good and the breakfast was yummy too. We had a great time.
• G (10/5): My stay at Rivora Residence was delightful, with a clean, stylish room, great breakfast, reliable WF - I had a fantastic stay at Rivora Residence during my Sri Lanka trip. The room was nice and spotlessly clean, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was delicious, and the WiFi worked perfectly. What stood out most was the stunning interior design—everything was impeccably clean and beautifully styled. Highly recommend! NA
