Great hotel, quite location, friendly staff, modern, clean and spacious rooms. The breakfast was very good and evening meals could be cooked to order. I hope to return next time I visit Kandy.

We had a good time at Rivorich residence - The owner stayed late to check us in, and also gave us a lift back to town to get some food. The place is a little bit of of Kandy town centre, but worth staying at for the spacious clean rooms & nice big balconys.

Peaceful location
While the property was a little out of town , it had a nice quiet outlook over the river valley. Buses ran past the top of the driveway and tuk tuks plentiful. Being right in Kandy could be a bit noisy .The owner drove us into the train station when we left . Geeth ( the owner) and his assistant we're always available to assist on any way they could.

'Welcoming, peaceful and trust worthy’
Around a 25min Tuk-Tuk journey (400rupees) from Kandy station you will find the quiet Rivorich Hotel. Run by 2 very welcoming staff, the hotel is clean and a welcome relief from the busy city. The rooms are fitted nicely, with clean towels and comfy beds and the all important air conditioning fan combo made for a comfortable night sleep. Breakfast, included in the price, always filled us up for the day and was served at guests chosen time. Top tips: the hotel manager is a great source of knowledge and truly cares for his guests. We were fortunate enough to hire him to drive us to some of the best sites such as Sigiriya and the surrounding temples. He was happy to let us roam and pick us up when needed. I'm not sure he can provide this service in peak times. However, asking his advice and whether he knows a trusted guide or driver will ensure you get a fair price.

Quiet getaway (for families) out of city
This is the place to stay if you are looking for a bit of quiet from the town of Kandy. This is a great place for a family stay. Spacious room with a balcony view of the river. Good wifi. We were a family of three, including a 3-year-old, and this was the perfect base for our exploration of Kandy. We woke up every morning and fell asleep every night to the sound of river, birds chirping, etc. Geeth and his wife were wonderful hosts. They gave us two options for breakfast - we had a "Western" breakfast the first day and opted for the Sri Lankan breakfast all other mornings. It was delicious. We also had dinner in one night and that was also wonderful. Again, the location is outside the main town -- about a 5-10 minute tuk tuk ride, which cost 350 Sri Lankan rupees.

Homely place but please avoid bad drivers
Our stay with Geeth’s family was pleasant and comfortable. Geeth also assigned Ruwan, a driver for our trip. Ruwan gave us bad experience, not limited to: - taking his time to repair the van, not repaired prior to fetching us - having his license confiscated multiple times, - demanding more money for places which were already in our itinerary but citing no time, distance - driving slowly, talking on the phone but saying google maps is inaccurate, traffic etc. - shortening our itinerary but refusing to fetch us home on multiple nights. We took tuk tuk instead - ushering us to e.g. elephant orphanage, spice garden where we think he gets commission, complaining when we decline as we found cheaper options e.g. central market - refusing to follow our pre-agreed early night drive from Ella to Galle (citing elephants on the road despite the electric fence) at the risk of cancelling our accommodation in Galle and additional costs in Ella - claiming van rental was 5 days instead of 6, despite having the receipt. We forfeited the money already paid and forked out extra cash to replace van and driver. - demanding money after a friend left his valuables in the van. Prior to that, he lied until we mentioned cctv footage - Privately disturbing a female friend via messages and phonecalls He complained we underpaid him but his actions made the rental we paid not worth it!!! Hence, please decline a driver named Ruwan who may also liaise with other hotels in Kandy.
