    Very nice Team and a beautiful place! I would recommend the Hotel for everyone who likes a quiet and comfortable place with great stuff. The hotel is a little bit outside but not to far from the city! The breakfast was fantastic.

    This was really not an issue for us but I want to warn you still: be aware that this location needs a tuktuk ride to get anywhere in the city. Also at 5am there is always religious chants to be heard. Also not unpleasant but it woke us up.

    We got to stay three nights at Robeirosa. The house is beautiful, the rooms are spacious and well tempered even without the AC. It is located on the edge of the city, which means you will need a TukTuk to get to Kandy Central, but this also means it is quiet and relaxed. We had a lovely breakfast each morning, and Saliya and his family really went above and beyond for us - helped with arranging a driver and train tickets and generally were there for all our questions. We would definitely come back! We also used this as the basis for trips to Kandy and also Sigiriya and it was a good base location for that.

    The drawback of the peaceful location as we didn't have our own transport meant that we did have a little difficulty in sourcing a tuk tuk or taxi to come up to us. The first day we weren't in a rush and just sat outside taking in the surroundings for about 30 mins until we managed to get one. The following morning we were having difficulty again and had a deadline due to getting the train. The hosts tried to help us source a taxi but when they couldn't either they kindly took us themselves to the train station. Not a reason not to stay and enjoy the stunning property and the loveliest of hosts but just be relaxed about getting a tuk tuk

    Absolutely stunning property up in the hills outside Kandy. Very peaceful compared to the hustle and bustle of the city. Waking up to the sound of birds and monkeys was idyllic. The husband and wife team here were fantastic, so friendly and welcoming. We were greeted with cold wash clothes and fresh fruit juice and the breakfast the following morning was authentic and delicious. Massive room with a big and comfortable bed and great showerroom with hot and powerful water! The communal rooms were also stunning and spacious.

    Fantastic stay. What made it special was our hosts, who were exceptionally nice and helpful, happy to chat and gives us advice. However the rest was pretty much perfect, too: - The house itself is very, very comfortable, and fitted to a high standard. The rooms are huge with high ceilings, full of light with floor-to-ceiling windows. It is perfectly clean and newly refurbished. - It is located slightly out of the city centre, in a very green and quiet area - very peaceful. Having breakfast in the first floor looking into the treetops was magic Thanks a lot for your hospitality, really!

    The owner Saliya and his daughter Sahani gave us a very warm welcome when we arrived around 9 pm. The room was very spacious, clean, new and beautiful. The house is very spacious with lots of sunlight and balconies, you can definitely feel the good vibes. The location is really good, calm and close to the center. The breakfast was tasty and Sahani made sure that we had everything we needed. We would definitely book again at Roberosia on our next trip to kandy and we highly recommend this place.

    It’s out in the hills which if you want central might be an issue but it’s 500 for a tuk tuk to the centre. It means it’s quiet and easy to relax here.

    It’s a beautiful house and the people that take care of the guests are so friendly. There are facilities to wash clothes and a kettle in the room with tea and coffee. We were welcomed with cold towels which was a nice touch. Aircon is good bed comfy and hot shower has great pressure. Owned by a family and they are super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was beautiful.

    Bed was a little too hard for us and although it's lovely to have big windows in the room, only having net curtains is not sufficient, so we woke up at dawn every morning. A fridge in the room would be handy.

    Lovely people own and run this new & modern b&b. Very big room.

    this house is exceptional in terms of its location, its architecture and, above all, its owners. We felt right at home. The breakfast, homemade and very tasty, is served in a large room with bay windows overlooking a wide terrace and the countryside.

    I have nothing to say because everything was great

    This is the best place we have stayed. The owners of the house were super friendly, they greeted us with freshly squeezed juice, accommodated us immediately. On the first day, when we wanted to eat in the evening, they made us sandwiches, although it was already late. The house itself is very unusual, beautiful, with an interesting design. It is very important that the house has hot water, not everywhere in Sri Lanka it is, but here it is always available. The owners of the house constantly helped us with taxis and with places where you can eat deliciously. And the breakfasts here are just wonderful, I highly recommend this place to stay, you will be satisfied!

    Staff is awkward, disorganised, but friendly. Pricey. Lacks ventilation, room gets mushy after some time. No mosquito nets in the windows. Fungi on the surface of the windows from inside. So so breakfast. Teapot, but no tea. Overall good place to stay for sri lankan standards.

    European standard, working AC, clean.

    Everything was perfect.

    Roberosia is a beautiful building in a magical location. The building itself is stunning and the interior design curated in every little detail. The room was very spacious with a really comfortable bed (best sleep we’ve had in months), a big bathroom with a separate powerful shower and two balconies with a view of the surrounding forest where you can spot monkeys and many beautiful birds. The area is peaceful and drenched with the sounds of the forest, birdsong and raindrops. Roberosia is by far the cleanest place we’ve stayed at in Sri Lanka, it was impeccable. The breakfast was also the best we’ve had in our trip, homemade by Jayangani every morning. Last but definitely not least, the hosts Saliya and Jayangani were absolute gems. Many reviews said they go above and beyond, and they really do! We’ve done quite a fair bit of travelling around the world and these were without a doubt the best hosts we have ever had. They helped us so much, were so interesting to chat to, and were so kind! We loved our stay so much that we decided to extend it and delay our beach plans.

    This place is tucked away in a peaceful, cool and green spot with a multitude of birds to greet you in the morning. It is a delight to escape the bustling city center and arrive here to relax. The hosts are kind and very helpful. The home made Sri Lankan breakfasts are freshly prepared with fresh fruits and freshly prepared juices to accompany. The rice and curry lunch on arrival was delicious. This place felt like home away from home. Thank you for making this stay special.
