Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The team was really respectful and nice. They humbly accepted the early check-in. The dining area was really beautiful and has an incredible view. Service was nice and breakfast was really generous as well.
Prachtige locatie! Vriendelijk personeel. Iedereen wil je overal mee helpen. En het uitzicht bij het ontbijt, waanzinnig. Schone kamer. Airco en ventilator. Taxi en tuktuk werden geregeld.
Wifi is zwak voor wie het nodig heeft
Prachtig uitzicht. Vriendelijk, behulpzaam personeel.
Eenvoudige kamers.
Hulpvaardigheid en vriendelijkheid van het personeel
Soms moeilijk converseren omdat personeel nauwelijks Engels sprak
The view from the balcony was amazing! The breakfast and the staff.
There were red ants in the bathroom and toilet seat. I had to get rid of them, the hotel should use sprays before check in! The photos look great but the room was smaller and no TV in the room.. The road to get to the hotel isn't very easy for cars! Very steep. The location is outta city. I booked this place as it had swimming pool but it was under construction, they should have mentioned it.
Encantados con este hotel y con el personal. Increíble lo serviciales y atentos que fueron con nosotros. Nos quedamos dos noches, la habitación estaba muy limpia y nos la limpiaron cada día. El desayuno también nos gustó mucho y era abundante. Almuerzas en una terraza con una vistas muy bonitas al río y los bosques. La habitación tiene aire acondicionado y nevera. No disponen de servicio de lavandería, pero se lo preguntamos y se encargaron de todo: dejamos la ropa por la mañana y nos la trajeron por la tarde. Nosotros recomendamos mucho este hotel.
Lo único que podría decir es que la presión del agua era muy baja.
- Great location. On top of the hill so it’s tucked away from the traffic and noise of the city centre and has great views. - Friendly, helpful, professional and well dressed staff all with great English on hand around the clock. The helped us sort our laundry, carry our luggage to and from our room, plan our days and get around via Tuk Tuk or taxi. - Breakfast was included, they were happy to serve it at whichever time we requested and it was always there on time so we could easy fit it around our schedule. - Austin the Tuk Tuk driver that works for the hotel was very helpful and friendly. We exchanged numbers and were able to organise lifts with him at short notice to go to and from wherever we needed to go. He always replied and arrived promptly and spoke perfect English so it made the entire process very simple. He was also able to give us lots of tips, advice and local knowledge.
Everything was perfect!
Prachtige locatie met een vreselijk mooi uitzicht. Zeer ruime kamers met een uitstekende service.
A lot of public space, good water pool
les hotes étaient très prévenants
humidité de la chambre
La struttura è situata nella parte collinare di Kandy quindi c’è una bellissima vista e sei lontanato dal caos della città. Lo staff molto accogliente e gentilissimo, si sono presi cura di noi e hanno cercato di risolvere i vari intoppi incontrati durante il soggiorno.
Purtroppo abbiamo avuto dei problemi con il bagno. Inizialmente, nella nostra prima camera, la doccia non funzionava. Lo staff molto gentile ci ha cambiato subito stanza dandocene anche una più spaziosa e nei piani più alti. Nella seconda stanza non funzionava il WC, ma molto gentilmente hanno subito chiamato un signore per ripararcelo. Diciamo che per il prezzo pagato la struttura è accettabile, soprattutto per la gentilezza dello staff.
Man hat von der Terrasse der Unterkunft eine traumhafte Aussicht auf die Berge und das grüne Inland. Das Zimmer war sauber und ist ganz schön eingerichtet. Das Personal war sehr freundlich.
Die Unterkunft ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Das Holz vom Bett blättert ab, die Türen klappern, die Duschabtrennung ist nicht richtig dicht, sodass man das Bad beim Duschen komplett unter Wasser setzt. Die Türen sind zudem nicht komplett dicht, sodass wir schon ein paar Insekten im Zimmer hatten. Das Badezimmer war nur mit einem Vorhang von der Terrasse abgetrennt, sodass auch hier einige Mücken waren. Die Matratzen waren außerdem sehr hart. Das Frühstück war in Ordnung, wobei an einem Tag beim Rührei wohl das Salz mit dem Zucker verwechselt wurde. Die Unterkunft liegt außerdem etwas abgelegen von Kandy. Wir haben etwa 20 min pro Strecke gebraucht.
Las vistas desayunando espectaculares. En un entorno privilegiado rodeado de naturaleza, aunque lejos del centro. Personal muy agradable y servicial.
Estuvimos dos noches y no nos hicieron la habitación ni cambiaron toallas. El desayuno pobre comparado con otros hoteles de Sri lanca
trzeba przyznać że hotel jest czysty. Są tylko 3 pokoje więc śniadanie można zamawiać dowolnie kiedy się potrzebuje. Piękne miejsce na spożywanie śniadania. Jest też bardzo fajny basen, można skorzystać. Z hotelem współpracuje kierowca tuk tuka Austin, przemiły i przeserdeczny gośc. Zabrał nas na cały dzień w różne fajne miejsca, niektóre trochę komercyjne, ale też ciekawe. Polecamy dzień z Austinem! I przepyszne śniadanko!
Niestety hotel bardzo stary i zniszczony. I jedzenie zamawiane dodatkowo z hotelu nie do końca miało dobra jakość za swoja cenę. Zamówiliśmy makaron z owocami morza a wyglądało i smakowało jak kurczak. Nie było żelu pod prysznicem i brakowało mi koca żeby się w nocy przykryć bo jednak pod klimatyzacja wiało. Dzieciaki spały w łóżkach i miały tylko koce - trochę mało higienicznie to wyglądało bo nie sądzę żeby koce prali po każdym gościu.
뷰가 놀랍도록 너무나 아름다워요!!
Our experience at the hotel was exceptionally good. Every member of the staff was remarkably kind and attentive, which truly enhanced our visit. We were consistently amazed by the stunning, incredible views the hotel offered. And, of course, the breakfast was absolutely fantastic, with a great selection and high quality.
Nothing
Wonderful view, great service from staff. Large and comfortable room. Good facilities.
Location is out of centre and steep access which we didn't mind but some people might. Wifi was weak.
First of all, the location of this hotel is excellent — just about 4 km from Kandy town, yet tucked away in a peaceful and quiet area, far from the noise and traffic of the city. In my opinion, this is one of the most underrated hotels in the area. It’s situated on top of a mountain, offering breathtaking views. The hotel manager, Mr. Piyantha, was very attentive, and another staff member, Thinusa, was also incredibly helpful and friendly. Overall, we had a very pleasant and relaxing stay here and would definitely recommend it to others.
Breakfast was hopeless and all the cooked food is cold.
Toiletries, Food
The staff at the Range Kandy were amazingly attentive from the start. The breakfast was really large, varied and good. The tuk tuk driver ordered by the hotel was really helpful and cheap, and we saw a dance show on his recommendation which we really enjoyed. Thank you for our pleasant stay! Recommended!!!
This location was too far from the main area of town however if you’re looking for a quiet escape then this is the place. The staff were very accommodating, respectful and helpful, they did their best ti make us comfortable. Unfortunately after processing payment for our second night we were told to pay more due to their error, upon payment the price went up again.
The fabulous stay. What a beautiful view . Kind support and excellent hospitality. The room were very comfortable. And we had a relaxing night here. Thank you we really enjoyed our stay and appreciate the very friendly and helpful staff...
Pool was ok, quiet area
Price too high against room quality, Restaurant too expemsive
- Room in the hills of Kandy, far away from the noise of the city, in the nature. - good breakfast with a great view! - friendly staff, ready to help - confy beds - swimming pool
- curtains are not black out curtains, just to keep in mind if you have issues to sleep with light. - It is a good place to stay but it would need some renovations everywhere...
Everything was amazing, especially the view and staff! Very good breakfast❤️
You cant walk to the downtown but thats fine, tuk tuk will get you there for 500 rupees.
The hotel is located just outside the city centre .a beautiful, nice quiet location.extremely very friendly helpful staff. especially the perfect host. And the breakfast Sri lankan rotti were delicious. The rooms are clean and comfortable we had a lovely stay. Good value for money.
Lovely stay in hills absolutely everything was fantastic .the spcctccular room.huge with budhha statue incredible views.staff were frindly and allways to helpul..deleses breakfast .the location is 15 minutes driving to kandy city up the hills .highly recommended
Lovely stay inn hills
The property is in a good location for Kandy’s attractions and is wonderfully quirky. The family room was a nice space for a family of 4. The best thing about the hotel is the manager and staff. They were always ready to help and so friendly. They helped us with multiple travel arrangements and even arranged for a local yoga guru to come and give us a fantastic roof top yoga session. Breakfast and dinner was also great.
Due to the nature of the quirky fun building it isn’t spotlessly clean like a boring chain hotel, but this is a fair trade off for staying somewhere that you’ll remember rather than a chain hotel.
We had an amazing stay at this hotel, which is situated in a unique location with beautiful views. The breakfast was delicious, and the staff were incredibly helpful, ensuring our transportation needs were taken care of. We especially appreciated our tuk-tuk driver, Ostin, who took us around all the popular spots in Kandy throughout the day. He was very kind, attentive, and went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. Highly recommend this place!

Great location. Perches at top of the hill. The room was mordern. The staff was extremely frindly.always to had a worm and welcoming. Attitude. Excellent dinner And breakfast as well. Would recommend to anyone who wants to stay at a this please. Close to kandy city
A BEAUTIFUL VIEW AND RELAXING OASIS IN BUSY CITY
The place is beautiful and lovely. It is in the hillside over the Kandy city. Staff is superb. They are friendly and very helpful. The pool is very clean and it's good for relaxation. Also, the foods were delicious and the breakfast was good enough and super. Rooms are very clean and comfortable. Altogether, it is perfect. We recommend this nice place.
Amazing view from balcony. Very friendly stuff and good food. The hotel is not new, needs some update. But it is still a good place :)
needs some renovation
Hospitality of staff and the environment of the place perfect. Please take care about 2 staff and the manger, they are nice people
An EXCELLENT SERVICE and the great view! Love EVERYTHING about this place.
Everything perfect and great stay
Alles was goed

Hotel and room itself has very unique design, permanent hot water, has breathtaking view to longest river and temple. Room was clean and big enough. Fridge was working. Very hospitable staff
It was a good place
Only the donner
There was nothing to dislike and the staff were incredibly attentive. I wouldn't expect alot from the restaurant as they only serve the 5 rooms and don't seem to have everything on the menu in stock. However I would stay here again.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. The staff was friendly and helpful, making check-in and check-out easy. The location was great, close to everything I wanted to see. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay here again.
Nothing
Staff and food were fabulous. Beautiful views too. Thank you for a lovely stay.
WiFi was a little bit unreliable.
Nice location on a slope overlooking a river and mountains behind away from the hustle and bustle of Kandy downtown. Rooms are basic but okay. The manager and staff are kind and helpful.
The view was just amazing, felt very tranquil. The balcony spaces and common areas were comfortable. Staff were excellent, so helpful (even organised a delivery of cold beers so we didn’t have to leave the view!). Loved our time here.
Wifi patchy, pool area needed a good clean as sitting area overgrown and not very appealing- pool was great though and spotless. Breakfast continental option only - would have loved some rotti and dhal.
Pool was the best.

The view is amazing, staff are very friendly. Austin the tuk tuk driver was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed seeing the sights with him.
Didn't love the food options.

Extremly helpfull staff, looking after their guests. Breakfast and other meals are well prepared.
Somewhat oldish interieur, probly not going to be updated, as it is newly build in the slots besides. Nevertheless still very nice to be in.
View from the breakfast table. The staff were reasonably friendly. Pool was welcome (but it’s way smaller than it looks on the photos)
This was our one disappointment out of 9 hotels in Sri Lanka. Got off to a bad start because the headline price doesn’t include over 30% of additional tax! (This practice is illegal in Europe). It was in the small print but you have to look for it. I was expecting a hotel but it’s more of an air b&b with a couple of staff. For the price I felt it was massively overpriced (more expensive than Devon Rest for instance which is a grand hotel right on the lake in Kandy). We had to pay for a tuk tuk to reach the door of the hotel because the driver couldn’t make it up the steep drive.
The pool, the rest areas, the view.
The stairs, but there weren’t that many :-)
Good service, very hospitable, good location. If you are a bird watcher, there are lots of birds here. And the pool was very good too
Nothing
It's a great place to visit. Very clean and staff is very friendly.
Staff is very helpful with advises and organizing the day, the chef is presenting meals nicely. Extra towels were provided at the pool.
The towels in the room were a bit ‘worn off”.
The view from the balcony for breakfast and dinner was incredible! Austin, the tuk tuk driver, was amazing, made lots of suggestions and was very flexible to changing plans to suit us. The staff took very good care of us.
Lots of stairs, no external window in our room (but still a nice room with a small courtyard), our driver didn’t attempt the hill (but not a problem in Austin’s tuk tuk).
We had an absolute perfect stay here. The manager and the staff were so kind and made every wish possible. The breakfast and dinner were delicious and we had a perfect view over the beautiful landscape. The room was very spacious and there were also common areas with sofas where we could sit in the evenings while our kids were already sleeping. Thank you so much for the wonderful stay.
The hill is a little hard to drive on to by car. But our driver managed fine and the view is absolutely worth is.
Beautiful views from the breakfast balcony and the pool area. Very friendly and helpful staff. Okay breakfast, but I would’ve preferred something else than light loaf on the side. Clean room, and quiet area.
My room (bike room) did not have a window, which made it feel moist. It was also quite small, no room for opening the luggage in the main room, and the outdoors area was a bit weird and hot and not really usable. The pool could use a deep clean. You need to take a Tuktuk to get to, and from the hotel. Also, when I was there, there were two families there with small children, and it became evident that the hotel walls don’t isolate sound very well.
Staff was friendly
Not in the city centre.
Very nice little hotel, it’s like a villa. Our room was huge, with incredible view, with 2 bed for children in a corner and 2 king size bed for parents in another corner (so it’s separate and it’s appreciated). The breakfast is very good, with a nice view on terrasse and good food, fruits… And the team was very friendly and attentive to fulfill all our wishes, from Tuktuk to train tickets. We recommend it 100% and will come back.

Really good value for money and great hospitality
Would be nice to have ac, but fan was provided
Everything, the people are there were so nice to us.
My room and the adjacent area is not so good. Algae/fungus grow on the adjacent area of my room. Their wifi is so poor. Breakfast is quite ok and the sight view from the balcony is so beautiful. Their staff especially two little supporting staff are so hard working and smart.
The side place of my room is dirty.
The trip around the city provided by the local guide Astin +94 76 651 7623. The view to Buddah and river were great.
Breakfast was way too continental and average. When requested to have some traditional roti this was not possible. Missing the authentic Sri Lankan hospitality.
Very helpful staff and the view is amazing. I recommend this place.
Staff so welcoming and friendly Austin tuk tuk driver so helpful Making the fact it was out of town not a proble

Cleanliness
Occupants of other rooms kept opening doors and slamming very loud. Rooms were not sound proof Couldn’t sleep well
Nice service and good staff
I will mark this as a humble Bed and Breakfast space in Kandy which houses several private rooms with living area, kitchen, balcony and terrace to be shared by inmates. Provides a very homely touch to our stay in Kandy. We had a lovely stay here with spacious rooms, fantastic views overlooking the river and village, and perfectly located to enjoy the sunrise. The staff are super friendly, helpful. Special mention to Priyantha and Lakmal who were prompt to attend our calls and manage our needs. They also accepted my request to check-in at 3.00 am.
The road to the hotel is quite steep but they had a tuk tuk to help bring our large luggages from the car to the hotel as our drivers car couldn’t climb the steep hill with 3 large luggages in the boot. Lizards and ants.
We have had a lovely stay here. The deluxe room is perfect for a family of four. Great views and location. Plus a nice swimming pool. The staff are very friendly and have looked after us well.
Great hospitality. Nice view of the river and villages
The road to the hotel is dark and very steep
Supportive manager and the staff. Food is good. Room was very spacious and comfortable.
Washroom got bit messier quickly due to uncovered bath cubicle.
The staff was super friendly and helpful. Always there to help and attend to our needs. The pool was clean, the beds were big. The view is beautiful even though the climb is high.
Quite far from the city center and ants were coming in through the balcony. No doors to out shower.
The swimming pool is pleasant, however it is too deep for kids (no varying depth) Good, plentiful breakfast Spacious room with a kitchen in the common area with balcony Very friendly hotel staff
Very pricey for the location - far away from the city center, and a very steep climb to the hotel grounds (our van handled it with the wheels spinning) The pricing during the booking process is somewhat misleading. The initial price shown without taxes (around 25%), then during room selection and purchase verification process no further mentioning re taxation (hence unless one remembered this, it is not necessarily obvious), and the total price after submitting booking request and confirmation on the app doesn't mention re further tax /VATS to be paid. We were not aware of this further 25% extra tax and it was unpleasant surprise for us. Linens were old and worn with holes , but clean Overall facility seems to be a bit run down and would do better with some renovations and better pricing policy
The view, the pool and the staff . Priyantha and Lakmal was very friendly and courteous.
Location and the food choices
We stayed two nights at this hotel. The staff was very helpful and hospitable. Amazing view from the pool and the breakfast floor. Tasty breakfast, clean rooms. 5 min to the bus station to take a bus to the city center
A bit further away from the center, meaning you always had to use transportation to get there
A very memorable stay. Staff were wonderful and made us feel like royalty!
It's a little out of town, but the peace and the views make up for this. The property is clean and comfortable with a nice pool. The breakfast was so lovely, the presentation, the view the fabulous staff. The staff, I just cannot rate them high enough.from the moment we arrived, juice, a pot of coffee simple check in and shown to our room.so friendly,welcoming and helpful. As it was the first day of festival, they arranged a tuk tuk to get us there and did everything they could to get us closer. Sadly we had left it too late,so booked another night and bought tickets! Austin the tuk tuk driver collected us next morning took us to the elephant orphanage,waited and brought us back. Felt safe at all times and that is saying something on these roads! All in all a fantastic stay and would highly recommend.
Absolutely nothing
Staff were super sweet and helpful,they helped us with the luggage all the way up! The views from this stay is gorgeous! Location is a bit high up but they can arrange tuktuk taxi very quickly for you and Uber works fine! Breakfast was amazing!
Everything from the start was perfect. We were welcomed with the drink. Rooms were clean and well mantained. Amazing view from the terrace where every morning we enjoyed delicious breakfast. Also pool was clean and refreshing. Most importantly the generosity of the staff who make us feel as at home. :)
The location was near Kandy train station reached by a lovely, short drive past the lake and into the mountains. The view is spectacular from the many outdoor areas on the balcony and the outdoor pool. The staff were so kind and made us feel so comfortable and welcome - including our boisterous 3 year old and 7 year old. We had a good sized family room with two single beds and a large double. There was a fridge and we were welcomed with tea and juice. We had breakfast as a part of our stay which was incredible! We chose to stay for dinners too purely because we were chilling for our stay before moving on - and it didn’t disappoint. We could not have been made to feel More welcome. Covid has impacted this business, as it has many and it would be an injustice if this place didn’t get the chance to thrive again. The hospitality is like nothing we’ve experienced. If you’re after immaculate 5star luxury this isn’t for you - but if you want comfortable, safe, child friendly and kindness, you won’t go wrong with Range Kandy. We were so happy.
