Positive: We had a brilliant stay at hotel Riverrina they were so kind and welcoming. We got picked up from the airport and instantly felt safe after arriving in Sri Lanka. The hospitality was fantastic, they even organised our transport to Sigiriya the next day with a cave temple visit. The breakfast was also delicious! We only wish we had stayed longer to use the lovely pool! Thank you!
Negative: Nada

Positive: Very friendly and helpful host! Guesthouse is a little hidden: not so easy to find but very nice big garden, which was a real asset to wind down after 2 weeks of Sri Lanka. The room was very comfortable, clean, recently renewed! Note: hotel is still under construction so don't be surprised to arrive in a place "under construction". If constructions continue as they do, this will be a great and comfortable place to stay! Recommend!

The hotel is very comfortable, perfect place to start or end the journey to Sri Lanka, as it is close drive to the airport. Very good spot to rest and chill. The staff is very nice and helpful. We loved to spend time by the pool, as the garden and the surrounding area is beautiful 😍 Lots of birds and wildlife 🙂 highly recommend
Negative:
A small fridge would be nice in the room, especially for longer stays. Otherwise you cannot store your own fruit, water etc
Summary: Lovely place

Everything! Beautiful nature, great staff and lovely hotel!
Negative:
Rabbits should not be lying on cage metal. Please create a rabbit hutch where they can lie on the ground- even better if they can eat the grass!
Summary: Highly recommended
