Starting from front desk to F&B to housekeeping, all the staff were courteous and went out of their way to make you feel comfortable. They all had a smile on their faces all the time.
The hotel itself and its facilities are fantastic. The rooms are nice and the food is absolutely superb. Unfortunately the service in the restaurant was really poor, which made this stay absolutely unpleasant. We were given dirty table cloths (and they didn’t want to replace it after asking for it), our table was given to someone else while we were at the buffet, we had to order drinks several times until finally served, we were given the bill to sign while still eating the main dish (not even dessert) and actually wanted to order more drinks, after being seated, we had to wait min 10 min to place orders for drinks or get silverware etc. From a 5* hotel we definitely expected something better. This is the only hotel during our trip, where we experienced bad service. which is a pity, as otherwise the hotel is really nice. We would not book it again.
Loved the experience here. Would definitely recommend this hotel to tourists who are visiting Kandy for the first time. We were given varieties of food for both breakfast and dinner. Also personally i got to enjoy my breakfast with a beautiful river view. The hospitality was wonderful as well. Thank you Oak ray for the wonderful stay.

f you are thinking of a place to stay away from the busy Kandy centre then this is the most ideal place. We found it last minute and what a piece of heaven this place it. Nestled high up over looking the valleys and tea plantations this small boutique resort is luxury defined. The former tea planters bungalow offers beautiful and luxurious accommodation. The meals were delicious and there are a number of activities that you can take part in such as an Indians jones tour and a mountain trek. The staff here are some of the best you will find in the whole of Sri-lanka and we loved every minute spent in there company. They had such good humour and made our stay magical. Special mention to Navod, Hasth and Manjula who made our every request possible and to Banuka the resident naturalist who took us on our tours and treks and not to forget taught us how to play croquet. Thank you so much we will certainly be back next year
Service provided by Sakunthala was superb as she attended to all our requests specifically customizing food items as we had a small toddler with us. Her courtesy and greeting was very nice and she humbly treated us at all times. Also, the room facilities were really great and we love the ambience of the hotel.
EEnglish RoseMisty Hills Villa Kadugannawa boasts the most incredible view over local mountains, best enjoyed if you are taking a cooling dip in the (small, but perfectly positioned) infinity pool! My husband and I were very well looked after during our short stay. The hotel staff served lovely breakfasts, organised two dinners for us and booked a tuk tuk for a day trip to Kandy. They also surprised me with a beautiful little cake on my birthday and even sang to me! The only small points I would make is that the dinners are not actually cooked on site - and that the staff did not offer to clean or make up our bedroom during our 3 night stay. Nevertheless, much kindness and warmth was demonstrated towards us and we loved the rural position of the property.
QQiongqiongGood for value. The room is clean and spacious. Tthe owner is friendly. They prepared morning tea before our one day tour to Sigiriya. They also helped to arrange the driver and taxi.
It is on a hill. Tuktuk took only 200 LKR one way but not many are willing to go. Walking takes about 15 min, which is ok for us, and we walked for most of time. Shower water pressure is low but it’s warm. Wifi signal is weak.
Originally booked for one night, however on arrival I was unwell. Chulanka could not of been more helpful. He arranged transport to the hospital and went with us and stayed until he knew what was wrong. He then returned three hours later to collect us and take us back to Red Hill. He had prepared chicken soup especially for me, although no appetite it was lovely and very welcome. In Addition he prepared another meal for my travelling companion. We decided to stay another day to rest and were looked after by Chulanka and his staff. They went out of their way to ensure I had everything needed preparing tea to drink and king coconut for health !!! We appreciated the kindness of both Chulanka and his staff and would recommend Red Hill Kandy for its hospitality, kindness and food. Fantastic views of Kandy for the bedroom not to be missed, as well as comfortable and welcoming.
