The staff, the food, the property....all invite you to relax. The view of the lake in the morning....calm, peace... So it was really a place to come out of your mind and into your senses....excellent food....I didn't know that one can cook with such variety vegetarian food...and above all it tasted sooo good. Boat trip through the Mangrove forest...some sightseeing....sunsets...a Crocodile did some sunbathing on the rocks....don't worry it was far away....the staff always give you a hand...Roy the magician, Insaf and his father Ilyas. As I asked for a room with river view they gave me a room in the villa without extra pay. Once in awhile I had a head, neck shoulder massage...couldn't get enough of it... So all in all a very relaxed and pleasant experience....No wonder I stayed for two weeks...

I couldn't wish for more. The location is beautiful. The complex is big with nice green areas, pools and gazebos. There is a buffet serving ayurvedic food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (not included in the price but quite cheap), and an Ayurvedic treatment center (not so cheap but very good). Every morning there's yoga on the terrace, free to join. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful. I rented a bike and got a SIM card via the hotel manager in a matter of an hour after the check-in. All in all, my stay was very smooth and absolutely lovely.

Since it's a river location, there are mosquitoes. They burn the repellent spirals all around the grounds regularly, but you still need extra protection. Also, the shower in my room was not super stable in terms of water pressure. But all of that did not spoil my stay, I highly recommend the River View Villas for a nice relaxing vacation.

I absolutely loved my stay here! The atmosphere is simply amazing. The staff deserves special praise – they are caring, attentive, always smiling, and friendly. They create an incredibly positive vibe and recharge you with energy every single day. The rooms are a delight. Everything is very clean, modern, and cozy. The territory, although not large, is very green and well-maintained, with a beautiful garden. I especially enjoyed the two fantastic pools and the stunning, peaceful view of the river. And of course, the food! It’s not just delicious but also healthy – the perfect combination for a rejuvenating stay, leaving you feeling energized and refreshed. Special mention goes to the Ayurveda center on the hotel grounds – I am absolutely thrilled with it! The super professional team worked with me from morning till evening. I went through all the services listed on their website, and in just nine days, they healed my neck, cured my insomnia, and restored my energy and strength. It was an incredible experience, spending time in complete silence without a phone. This place has left me with the warmest impressions, and I will definitely come back again!

The location and service is amazing 😍

River View Villas is run by a family that really knows how to provide a holistic hospitality to their guests! We had booked a room that turned out to not be suitable for my mother due to mobility issues. They were fully booked but ensured we would be comfortable in alternate accommodation. Mr. Ilyas and Insaf are always present ensuring their guests have the most relaxed experience and the property is beautiful to boot! We also got great massages!

I loved my stay here. Their staff are so well trained, very polite, helpful and considerate. They will make sure to check on you. The food is nice. The view is amazing - right on the bank of the river, lots of birds, squirrels, trees and a friendly dog. They also have Ayurvedic and other herbal treatments with dedicated staff on site. They were all reasonably priced. The rooms are spacious and clean. It's a great place for a restful weekend getaway.

Wonderful staff and really great service. Excellent food. Great views. Really like the Ayurvedic treatments. Other guests were really interesting and they did a great new years buffet where they invited their staff’s families to join the guests

Beautiful place, very quite and relaxing, the staff was amazing! I really recommend this place for whoever is visiting Sri Lanka.

Was very well maintained
