Provider-sourced guest reviews.
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!

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!
Sehr nettes und aufmerksames Personal. Schöne Poolanlage. Die Düsen im Pool wurden extra eingeschaltet, sobald Gäste im Wasser waren, das war ein wirklich angenehmer und aufmerksamer Service
Das Frühstück war enttäuschend: Trotz mehrfacher Nachfrage und Wiederholung haben wir nicht das erhalten, was wir bestellt bzw. bezahlt hatten. Insgesamt ist das Frühstück für die gebotene Qualität zu teuer und daher nicht empfehlenswert. Die Poolanlage wirkte teilweise ungepflegt und hätte besser gereinigt werden können. Bettlaken und Bettdecken waren in beiden gebuchten Zimmern verschmutzt. In einem Badezimmer kam eine Kakerlake aus dem Abfluss (in solchen Regionen zwar nicht immer vermeidbar, dennoch unangenehm).
Obsłudze bardzo zależy żeby wszystko było na 100%, czasami aż za bardzo😄Prawie jak w Białym Lotosie😉Nie mniej wszyscy bardzo się starają. Basen czysty przez całe 7 dni. Mieliśmy odwołany lot i to był bardzo dobry wybór na przeczekanie. Dobry stosunek jakości do ceny. Około 15 min jazdy tuk tukiem do Negombo. Szczerze polecam.
Mogliby sobie odpuścić próbę podrabiania kuchni europejskiej na rzecz dobrej domowej kuchni lankijskiej.
Super nettes Personal, dass sich sehr bemüht. Ein wenig Englisch kenntnisse vorhanden - der Inhaber spricht perfekt Englisch. Die Zimmer waren sehr gross und hatten sogar einen Sitzbereich mit Tisch. Badezimmer mit sehr viel Platz. Kleiner Balkon mit Stühlen mit Sicht auf den wunderschönen Pool ud Garten. Abends eine sehr tolle Stimmung durch die Palmen etc. Sehr ruhig etwas aussherlab gelegen Die Lage ist sehr ruhig un etwas ausserhalb aber TukTuks ist sind immer in max. 5 Minuten da (via PickMe App) und in 7-8 Minuten ist man in der belebten Strasse mit Restaurants und Läden. Man auch direkt im Hotel etwas zu Essen bestellen. Einfach frühzeitig melden 81-2h vorher), da man keinen durchgehenden Küchenbetrieb hat (absolut verständlich). Es hat einen Kühlschrank in der Lobby, wo man getränke kaufen kann (Mineralwasser, Bier und Softgetränke). Der Pool und die Gartenanlage sind so wunderschön - unserer Kinder wollten durchgehend dort bleiben ;-) Frühstück ist in Ordnung. Toast, Butter, Konfitüre, Wurst oder auch ein SriLanka Frühstück ist möglich (z.B. String Hoppers). Man kann für einen Nachschlag fragen (zusätzliches Toast oder heisses Warrer für Kaffee/Tee). Im Garten wird ab und zu ein Pferd angebunden, welches dort ein paar Stunden frisst. Toll für die Kinder. Das Hotel bietet auch ein par Touren an. Direkt am Hotel kann man eine 2h Flusstour machen, welche morgend oder Abends stattfndet (haben wir nicht genutzt aber wäre sicherlich schön). Wenn man einen TRansport braucht, hilft man auch weiter. Der Eigentümer selber hat uns am Schluss zu unserem nächsten Hotel gefahren zu einem anständigen Preis. Wir haben es als Familie mit Kindern hier sehr genossen.
Wir hatten absolut nichts auszusetzen.
Zeer vriendelijke eigenaar, een prachtige locatie en mooie kamers.
L’emplacement est idéal, au calme, parfait pour se détendre. Les chambres sont très belles, propres et spacieuses, avec tout le confort nécessaire. La piscine au milieu des palmiers est un vrai plus, super agréable pour se relaxer. Le gérant a été plus qu’adorable : il nous a même permis de laisser nos valises à l’hôtel pendant plusieurs jours, ce qui nous a énormément aidés. Un accueil vraiment chaleureux et attentionné. Je recommande à 100%
Heel vriendelijk personeel, rustige en mooie locatie
Bed was een beetje hard maar dat is in de rest van Sri Lanka meestal niet anders.
Perfect place to relax and unwind Beautiful pool area, great for spending full days Restaurant present Very friendly and welcoming staff Very spacious room with two large double beds Large bathroom with good lighting Small private balcony Calm and peaceful atmosphere Great value as a relaxing end to a trip
la chambre était très spacieuse et bien équipée et pareil pour la salle de bain. le balcon est un vrai + et la piscine incroyable
si vous voulez manger à l’hôtel (le plus facile compte tenu de l’emplacement) vous devrez passer commande avant 18h un peu embêtant mais ok
Quiet and secluded, very peaceful
Super fijn verblijf gehad! Personeel was lief en attent. Kamer was ruim met een goede badkamer. Zwembad en de tuin lagen er prachtig bij. We hebben ontzettend genoten!
La piscine,les chambres
Hotel, service and room very nice. Nice and peaceful.
It was a little out of town but was easy to get a Tuk Tuk.
Hotel au fond d’une impasse très à l’abri des bruits de la ville ou de la rue. Piscine de belle taille pour nager et profiter du beau jardin. Le personnel est discret mais présent dès que vous avez besoin . Les chambres sont très belles et grandes. Si vous cherchez le calme avant de reprendre l’avion ou vous reposer d’un long voyage, alors vous êtes au bon endroit
Le jardin et la piscine sont magnifiques
Il y avait une fuite d eau dans la salle de bain au niveau des toilettes , ç était trempé et ça sentait l humidite grande chambre mais austère
Gelegen in een rustige oase. Grote kamers. Fijne badkamer en goede bedden. Het zwembad is heerlijk en het personeel ontzettend vriendelijk
Niks viel tegen maar met een kleine koelkast zou het helemaal perfect zijn.
The location 😎

Nice room room. Friendly owner and lovely staff. Gardens are nice with a gorgeous pool.
Really nice hotel with a beautiful garden, a nice pool and comfortable rooms, especially nice bathroom.
Only thing I missed during my stay was a mosquito net during the night.
La piscine est vraiment top et le jardin magnifique et très agréable. Par ailleurs il y a un très bon rapport qualité prix des repas proposés et le personnel est très gentil. Les chambres sont spacieuses et propres.
Le lit n’est vraiment pas confortable
Beautiful gardens Good value for money Friendly helpful staff
Être dans le calme au milieu d’une palmeraie et une piscine très spacieuse et reposante. La literie était très bien . Ça faisait du bien d’être en dehors de l’agitation de la ville . Un propriétaire attentif à ses clients.
Pas de repas possibles sans réservation à l’avance. Un personnel un peu méfiant ou distant mais qui se laisse apprivoiser . Il faut demander les choses.
L'emplacement au calme Les chambres très belle et spacieuse La douche impeccable La piscine au milieu des palmiers Le patron extrêmement gentil et arrangent Je recommande a 100%
Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen und hatten einen tollen Start unserer Sri Lanka Rundreise. Bei Ankunft abends wurde für uns noch Pizza bestellt. Transporte konnten über die Unterkunft gebucht werden. Highlight ist der sehr schöne Garten!!
Am Pool gibt es leider kaum Schatten
Super basen w którym można pływać od rana do wieczora .
Perfekt um sich nach dem Flug auszuruhen
The hotel has an excellent pool, and the surrounding pool area is just great. The shared spaces of the hotel are very beautiful. The rooms are simpler, but they are clean and well-maintained. Since the hotel is located next to a canal, make sure to bring mosquito repellent — there are mosquitoes. The hotel also recommended a massage for us, and it exceeded our expectations. The staff was friendly and very helpful: even though we arrived late, they extended the pool opening hours for us, and they set up a net in the pool so the kids could play water volleyball.
Le personnel était souriant et chaleureux de notre arrivé jusqu’à notre départ ! Le jardin est magnifique et bien entretenu.
The hotel was in beautiful surroundings with a gorgeous pool. The rooms were clean and staff were friendly and attentive. You can see a lot of effort has been made to make it a special place.
Mooie oase. Mooie kamers met balkon. Schitterend zwembad Naar stad met tuktuk voor 150 lkr
Er was enorm veel geluidspollutie door de nabijgelegen kerk. Begon om 4u50 in de ochtend met versterkers op 10. Mogelijk enkel bij ons verblijf
The room was very spacious and the pool was great. The host made us breakfast in the morning which was lovely and everyone was very friendly and helped us with our bags! Would reccomend staying here after flights or before as it’s really easy from the airport
De opzet is prachtig. Een klein paradijs op een onverwachte plek. Helaas heeft de cycloon flink wat kapotgemaakt in de tuin en aangrenzend kanaal
De manager was niet erg empathisch maar dat werd ruimschoots goedgemaakt door de rest. An het personeel
Sehr nettes und zuvorkommendes Personal, konnten uns bei jeder Frage helfen und haben alles möglich gemacht. Haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Auch der große Pool im wunderschönen Garten hat für viel Entspannung gesorgt. Wir würden aufjedenfall nochmal kommen.
Ganz kleiner Nachteil war die Lage, etwas abgelegen von den ganzen Restaurants und Supermärkten. Aber mit TukTuk gar kein Problem.
Very calm and beautiful place to stay at Negombo! Hotel is clean, fresh and good condition.
La piscine était extraordinaire, l’hôtel en lui même est très beau ainsi que les chambres qui offrent un confort parfait! Le petit dej était bon
Przepiękny widok z okien, teren, basen. Gospodarz bardzo miły i pomocny. Czysto.
Great breakfast and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. We loved the pool and the hotel was located in a quiet part of Negombo which was peaceful.
The hotel was unfinished and there was some construction noise during the day.
Very friendly staff and great food. During out stay, they were still cleaning up after the cyclone hit the hotel, and they were still so thoughtful. So definitely support this lovely hotel.
Friendly staff and good prices.
Mosquitoes and a bit far out.
Beautiful serounding, long palmtrees all over there big garden , we had a delicious curry for lunch , manager and staff very friendly. Tuk tuk with " PICK ME " The best and sure option . taxi 🚕 to airport 🛫 great price for 1h30 am 👍
Really peaceful, friendly staff, airport transfer which was really helpful! Great breakfast
Nothing bad to say!!
Le calme, proche de la ville. La piscine assez grande. Le repas sur place
L accueil et la piscine
Parfois un peu mal insonorisé
It was a really beautiful place and the staff was super nice. The room was super beautiful with the nice garden view. The garden was also nice to explore different animals and plants and we enjoyed the swimming pool :)
The toilet was dirty when we came in and there was still litter of the previous people
Fijne tuin en zwembad! Heel vriendelijk personeel die klaarstaan voor je vragen of een kleine babbel. Kamers zijn ruim met een afzondelijk terras.
Hotel ligt iets verder van het dorp waardoor je hier wel rekening mee dient te houden voor vervoer (bv tuktuks) Het toilet in onze kamer lekte en rook niet zo fris maar dit kan te maken hebben met de cycloon waar het hotel wel wat schade van had!
This hotel seriously exceeded my expectations. It was STUNNING- the rooms and the pool. the staff couldn’t have been nicer. the food was AMAZING. it was clean, safe and so refreshing after a not-so-great stay right before it. they also have partnership with a local spa which was so nice as there is a free tuktuk service to go there. Do not hesitate to book this hotel if you’re coming to negombo !! (and if you’re going to colombo- go here instead). Sisil checked us in and out and was so helpful and accommodating the whole time. Couldn’t be happier !!
A lovely boutique hotel, with very friendly staff who made me feel very welcome for my short stay. The hotel is located away from the noise of Negombo, which makes it a relaxing and peaceful environment. However, it is still close enough to town for the local amenities to be easily accessible. The hotel has a decent sized pool and spacious grounds.
The hotel is about 30 minutes from the airport, so not the closest option if you are looking for somewhere to stay before flying home, but if you don't mind that distance then you are sure to have an enjoyable time at Hotel Riverina with Dunesh and his team.
We had a great stay at Riverrina! The staff was very friendly and the garden and pool were amazing! With a tuktuk you are in 10 minutes in Negombo.
nothing
Beautiful property everything was nice and staff are great
Here’s an honest review because I don’t understand all the positive comments and high ratings. Yes, the place is cheap, and well… what can you really expect? But even so, I do expect a clean room. We arrived late at night due to a flight delay, and someone was waiting for us, which was helpful. The room initially looked okay, but there was a strong musty smell. The bathroom was dirty and smelled like sewage. The bed was not clean, with stains, hairs, a burn hole, dust behind the pillows, and dead insects including a cockroach that had clearly been there for a while. Staff provided a new sheet, but were not open to our feedback. Friends in the next room also saw a live cockroach at night, and their sheets were not very clean either. There was also no warm water in the shower and most of the sockets didn’t work. We planned to stay two nights but left after one. The cabins are next to very dirty ponds with fish, which are also a mosquito breeding ground. There is no lighting outside at night, birds are kept in tiny cages, and a lone pony showed clear signs of neglect, including a tick in its eye and being bothered by flies. We were allowed to leave early without paying extra, which was considerate. But if you care about cleanliness or animal welfare, don’t go here.
Camere pulite, piscina gradevole, staff super disponibile
Einfach ein Paradies zum wohlfühlen! Wir können es wirklich jedem empfehlen, der Ruhe sucht und einfach ein sehr sehr gutes Hotel will. Das Außengelände mit schönem Pool und Sonnenliegen,, Pferd, tausenden Glühwürmchen am Abend und einem riesigen Gelände voller Palmen und exotischer Pflanzen ist ein Traum! Das Personal ist super hilfsbereit und nett.
Très bel endroit avec un agréable jardin et une chouette piscine. Chambre confortable qui donnait direct sur le jardin et la piscine. Personnel dévoué et agréable. Je recommande
Rien
Het hotel met Het zwembad midden in een groene oase was heerlijk. Het eten van chef-kok/hotelmanager ook voortreffelijk. De omgeving en Negombo zelf is druk en niet bijzonder boeiend
Personnel à l'écoute qui a su répondre à toutes nos questions de touristes fraîchement arrivés ! Le petit déjeuner était très bon et la piscine agréable dans un joli environnement
Malheureusement nous avons séjourné à un moment où il y avait des travaux et cela a été bruyant à certains moments
Super mooi zwembad gelegen tussen de palmen en planten. Het personeel heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Het is een fijne plek.
Niks aan de accomodatie die was gewoon goed. Het ligt alleen een beetje afgelegen dus je loopt niet zo even naar een restaurantje. Met de tuktuk ben je overal zo natuurlijk dus op zich niet erg. Het is 37 minuten rijden vanaf jet vliegveld dus als je jet kiest omdat het dichterbij is dan Colombo, dat is niet zo.
Super aangenaam verblijf met zeer vriendelijk personeel!
Special Thanks to Management and Owner who helped us to make the best time possible.
I stayed at Hotel Riverrina for 2 nights and regret not booking for longer My stay was truly wonderful Such a beautiful and serene and peaceful place to stay A great ideal location My room was wonderful very clean and very comfortable The garden is beautiful and the pool is so lovely Everything about this place is stunning Sisil the Hotel manager is so lovely and went out of his way to make me feel so welcome and is now my friend I met the owner Dunesh too who is really nice I shall not hesitate to come back here when I come back to Negombo I definately recommend you experience this beautiful place ❤️
Nothing to not like at all
Perfect if you are looking for a quiet and comfortable spot when you arrive in Sri Lanka or before leaving and heading to the airport. I wanted to enjoy my last day in the country relaxing by the pool, running some errands and a short ride to the airport (30min by tuk tuk), Hotel Riverrina is perfect for that ! The owner is the sweetest and will do absolutely everything he can to make your stay as smooth as possible. The room is big, stylish and clean. The garden and pool very nice as well ! The location is a bit out of the main road and hustle of Negombo, in a suburban neighborhood, which was perfect for me !
It's a lovely, quiet place with friendly and helpful people running it. Very picturesque, very green, very clean.
No issues, just it's a bit away from the action, so plan accordingly! Best to have a tuktuk on call or a rented scooty. Adds to the peaceful nature of the place though
Prachtige locatie net buiten de stad Negombo. De manager Sisil was erg aardig en zorgzaam. Vertelde ons veel over de omgeving en de locatie.
Personal war sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Ein traumhafter Garten mit Pool.
- The staff were amazing, went out of their way to be helpful! - very peaceful
- location is quite far out from the town, will need to get a tuktuk for transportation - there were a few bugs such as lizards and cockroach, however the location is very rural so not the hotels fault
Zwembad is prachtig en de tuin is zeer goed onderhouden.
Très bel endroit, les nuits les plus calmes de tout notre séjour au Sri Lanka. Piscine au top. Possibilité de manger sur place pour un rapport qualité prix très bien. Personnel très gentil. Le boss veille à ce que votre séjour se passe le mieux possible. Le dernier jour, on s'est trompé sur le réglage du réveil pour l'avion, il nous a attendu et nous a emmené à l'aéroport à 5h et demi du matin en allant vraiment aussi vite que c'était possible. Encore merci.
