Location from city and main road. But Rivers edge properties are like that.

The Management were friendly and supportive and provided us an excellent array of local cuisine/dishes with no repeat for one dinner and two breakfast days. Quality was good and sumptuous. Very well planned property with precisely placed furniture exceeding the type. Rooms & common areas were sparkling clean.

Lovely big, very private, room overlooking the river. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The hotel is a bit away from the busy city area but easily accessed by tut tut especially if you download the ‘ Pick Me’ App.

It was one of the best decisions I made by choosing this place for a night stay, so calm, peaceful, clean and food was absolutely delicious. The river view was so calming and relaxing. It is ideal for anyone who needs some calm relaxing view.

The food could be better, but in any case, we normally had our main meal in town, so it wasn't a problem, and it certainly wouldn't stop us from staying there again. Breakfast was fine.

With only a 15min tuk tuk ride into the town centre, the peace of the hotel, with the wonderful view and sounds of birdlife from the balcony, made it an excellent oasis after sight seeing. The owners and staff are friendly, and more than helpful. We loved our stay there, and it was extremely good value.

Nothing to not like about the property.

Such a tranquil location. If you are a nature lover or bird watcher, you will love this place. The views from the balconies over the river and into the trees are a bird watcher’s paradise with over 40 species of birds to thrill you. We saw two different types of eagle, kingfishers and several other birds which were too quick for us to recognise. Watching the fireflies at night was quite magical. The breakfasts were ample with lots of variety. The evening meals were a very good standard. The owners, Padmina and her husband were just so friendly and accommodating and all the staff were very helpful. They shifted the wi-go router to close your our rooms so that reception was better for us. Thoroughly enjoyed the / night stay we had at Kandy Rivers Edge.

The room was spacious with a lovely outlook onto the river. Exactly as advertised. The hotel was extremely good value for money. The staff were lovely and really helpful. They allowed us to do an early check in at no extra cost, and made us a pack up breakfast for our onward travel as we needed to leave early.

There is no option to prepare tea or coffee at the room. You have to go downstairs to kitchen to make one. Not a big deal but some people would prefer that as convenient. Comparatively less options for breakfast from our other stays.

Location: We stayed in one of the river view room. Waking up to the singing of the birds and just stepping out to the balcony to see them is absolutely a brilliant experience. To someone who is into bird photography, this place is a heaven. The place is a about 15 mins drive away from the city centre away from the busy vehicle sound and air pollution. Room: the groom was spacious enough for a family of four with 2 big beds, Air conditioning, TV (I don’t think you need one when you have such beautiful scenery just outside). Everything in the room was clean. Facilities: there is bar, activity room that had got a pool table, Karaoke setup, we used the laundry facility, which is outsourced but the hosts were happy to organise (additional reasonable charges for the service understandably). Parking is available at the property. Driver accommodation including food provided for a little additional charge. Food: breakfast was limited option. Lunch and Dinner are provided on request. We didn’t eat there, as we were out and during the day and opted a restaurant where my kids would eat (fuzzy eaters 😊). Instant Coffee and tea are available at all times at the kitchen (self served). Hosts: run by a couple who were very friendly and passionate about what they do. They took good care and offered all support.

The view and location is amazing. Being surrounded by all the birds was so peaceful. The restaurants food is delicious and the breakfast everyday was authentic and delicious. The owners were so nice friendly and helpful. This place isn’t in heart of Kandy but easy short tuk tuk ride. I didn’t want to be right in town.

The internet could have been better in rooms. We stayed in the corner most room and there was no internet there. Other than that I cannot fault the place.

The place was a hidden gem on the edge of the river and in a very quiet and peaceful place. It was a great stay. The host and hostess, Padmini went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. The dinner and breakfast were very tasty. Wish we could have stayed more than 1 day. There was also a pool table and karaoke and these were a great addition for our group of 10. There were fireflies in the night and we woke up to such nice bird calls. A hidden gem in Kandy.

A bit away from downtown Kandy, but the owners are helpful in arranging a tuktuk or a car at a fair price.

Clean, comfortable rooms with a great view. Very friendly and helpful owners.

Nothing to note. Was exceptional.

Was amazing. I felt respected. The place is exceptionally designed and only getting better. The owners have so much knowledge of what is around them that I learnt a lot about more about Sri Lanka. The food is delicious, fresh and some from their own garden. It so quiet not far from the city. And the beauty of the river and Forrest gives extra appeal. I will definitely be back in the future. Thanks for sharing your beautiful part of Sri Lanka.

Nice hotel near the river. Professionel staff.

From the lake area you can reach it by tuktuk or taxi, a bit distant location.

The man we had communicated with in the hotel was very easy going and supportive. Breakfasts were simple but good enough. A nice view from the room through a big full height window.

Our stay at Rivers' side hedge resort was better than we would ever imagine. We spent a week there, and we got a real taste of the care and love that those who work there put every single day into this. From the cleanliness of the place to the wonderful meals that the manager kindly prepared for us at any time of the day. A special mention to him for how he treated and took care of us. The place is a little corner of paradise, and it’s perfect for anyone who wants to get out of the traffic and enjoy peace and quiet while still being able to reach the centre in a short time. It was also perfect to work remotely. The owners have created this wonderful place that made us feel at home and went above and beyond to accommodate us and they even took us on a short day trip and we can all say that it was an adventure that we would never forget ❤️ Thank you from the bottom of our heart!
