This is a stunningly beautiful property with amazing furnishings and artwork. After a busy day, it’s like coming home to a peaceful oasis. The food is absolutely amazing; you can choose traditional Sri Lankan dishes or a la cart and every dish was presented beautifully and tasted divine. The rooms are spacious, clean and use quality linens. The staff go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. They are so friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. It is all the little touches that make it so special like the lighting at night, the peaceful music and the way you are greeted and made to feel at home.

One thing we didn’t like that some of the employees are not polite there eyes are everywhere, we weren’t comfortable eating, or hanging around because they were all over the place and giving looks, they need more training, although they are nice and helpful.

We liked everything.. from the rooms to the food, we didn’t expect to find such a beautiful place in Kandy ,

We had an absolutely delightful end to our Sri Lankan Honeymoon at Taru Villas Kandy. The building is steeped in colonial history and opulence coupled with all the modern luxury's needed for an extremely comfortable and relaxing stay. The beautiful staff always waiting around the corners to accomodate every one of your need's, around the villa and also around Kandy city. As we arrived we saw a sign on a van saying “Come as a Guest, Leave as a friend” we cannot think of a better comment to sum up our beautiful stay. My Wife and I cannot recommend a better place to stay while in Kandy

Our first night in Sri Lanka was spent at Taru Villas in Kandy, a beautiful boutique hotel nestled in the heart of the city. This hidden gem, surrounded by busy streets, offered a unique sense of beauty and privacy within its confines. The hotel staff left a lasting impression with their exceptional service, being quick and responsive to our needs. The rooms were not only clean but also spacious, providing a comfortable retreat. However, the true highlight was the food. Both breakfast and dinner were exceptional, featuring some of the best chicken and ice cream dishes we've ever tasted. The chefs at Taru Villas truly outdid themselves, adding a memorable culinary experience to our stay. In conclusion, our overall experience was exceptional, and I wholeheartedly recommend Taru Villas to anyone visiting Kandy. It's a perfect blend of tranquility in the midst of a bustling city, coupled with outstanding service and culinary delights that leave a lasting impression!

The villa can be noisy being just off the main road into Kandy. There is also a railway line behind the property but this was not a problem. This is quite a new hotel and some of the staff seemed inexperienced

The villa had a lovely atmosphere and was very comfortable and we liked the places to sit all around the villa.

The property was beautiful, the room was amazing And the meals were fabulous. We booked this accommodation because it included dinner and the dinners were gourmet. We especially think the staff, Sangen and Manju for all their help in arranging activities while we’re there and an amazing stay in Kandy.

Absolutely Amazing stay at Taru Villas. We were on put honeymoon and the place couldn't have been better. We couldn't believe this place was nestled right in the city but with a lovely private feel. The garden and pool are fantastic. The hotel and decor is to an extremely high Standard. The staff were very friendly and attentive and the food was very good!

Taru Villas Kandy was exceptional - the property, rooms and setting in a peaceful and beautiful surroundings. The food everyday was excellent and the service and care shown by Sanjay, Chalaka, and many others really made it a step above everything else. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

Simply Nothing at all

The recently opened hotel exudes a sense of sophistication, providing a tranquil ambiance, remarkable architectural and design elements, a delectable morning meal, exceptional customer service, and superb dining choices.

Our room was written up as one with views of garden or pool. What we got when we arrived was a tiny room squeezed between railwaytracks and the hotel driveway. Cannot open curtains. Dark. Photos of room on booking.com are a mix of other rooms, nothing like ours. Ceiling is so thin (wood), it transmits all sounds and footsteps of people from above us. Cannot sleep. Hotel is on a very small piece of land squeezed between the major road into Kandy in front and a railway line behind. Not sure how other reviews can be trusted when they call this an oasis in Kandy. Trucks, buses, cars and motorbikes roar past honking their horns at each other, trains rattle through- Taru Villas must have been desperate to have a property in Kandy to have picked this one. This is our third visit to Kandy and by far the worst choice of hotel. For 312 dollars a night, this is a rip off. Staff are everywhere, but service is poor. We had no internet when we arrived. Nobody had realized. By the pool no one ever comes to offer a drink or menu. The boys sit or stand around in groups having a good time, never mind the guests (maybe you should employ a few ladies for a change in attitude). At 6pm we were asked when we wanted to eat dinner. 7pm was agreed. By 7.45pm we still only had a basket of soft buns in front of us despite having had dinner pre ordered. The staff were tripping over themselves seemingly busy running around, but no service. I am not sure who is in charge of whom here, but this 'hotel' needs a lot more training and direction from someone who understands the business. The food, when it finally came was good, but with it came 3 musicians with guitar, drum and accordeon. They drowned out the street noise with kitsch songs from the 1960s. Please Taru Villas, install a sound system and play music in the background fitting a hotel you aim to be. I felt like being on a mass tourism cruise liner in the 70s with tunes of 'la paloma blanca' and the like ruining dinner.

The picture of the hotel looks nice. The food was good and service staff Chalake - he was the only bright light...

Great food at the restaurant and close to Kandy town centre.
