Reviews of The Grove

You cannot believe how incredible this place is until you stay here the structure of the building with the windows surrounding the entire build allows the most amazing views. If im ever back in sri lanka I will 100% be coming back. The hospitality was 10 out of 10. And the owners and staff were a pleasure to meet. You cannot score this place less than 10 its unbelievable

Absolutely nothing. You have to stay here

Located in front of Hanthana Hill and offering a relaxing atmosphere, the property is perfect for unwinding in the pool and enjoying the friendly staff. Had dinner and breakfast at the hotel, and both were truly authentic and delicious foods.

I stayed for a night, and the couple hosting me was incredibly kind. The place was spotless, the view was beautiful, and the breakfast was generous and absolutely delicious.

Amazing place , good vibes , especially good host . It has an awesome view from the room . Lovely and healthy breakfast , very comfortable rooms and lounge. The host is amazing , they make you feel like you're in paradise .. Lovely pool . Very personal touch provided to the property. They look after their guest as family. I really loved it. I want to go back and stay again .

All was top of the art

We were very satisfied with the view and overall hospitality. It was very friendly. If you planing to visit this place please go before the sunset. Sunset view is breathtaking. And also we were enjoy in the morning view with mist and Hanthana range.

Beautiful property with amazing views, the staff and owners were friendly and welcoming

Nothing

It was a lovely place, my family had a peaceful couple of days, however my 11 year old kept complaining as not much activities apart from the pool. That pool was amazing, views are stunning and also nothing to complain about foods. Host Piyal and his wife were very friendly, and the staff was very attentive.

Property needs a few basic stuff to add on, like tea/coffee maker in rooms, hair dryer in wash rooms, indoor activities and high speed broadband coverage rooms far side etc.

Amazing place located in the hills near Kandy. Views were amazing, room was very spacious. Terrace was a big plus! Pool is being built but in meantime you can use the pool from a place on the other side of the street (1 min walk). It has an amazing view! Great breakfast for picky kids Just know it is not close to restaurants or Kandy itself. But for us this was perfect! The food they have is also great!

Nothing.

We stayed at The Grove in Kandy for 3 nights and absolutely loved it! The family who runs the place is incredibly kind and welcoming — they made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The room was beautiful, spacious, and very well maintained. Everything was spotless and taken care of with such attention to detail. The surroundings were peaceful and perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing in Kandy. Breakfast was a real highlight every morning — fresh, delicious, and served with a big smile. We especially appreciated the local dishes and homemade touches. If you're looking for a quiet, clean, and charming place to stay in Kandy with warm, genuine hospitality, The Grove is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

I had an exceptional stay at this gem, which offers breathtaking mountain views, a sparkling infinity pool, and peaceful garden terraces. Piyal and his warm family welcomed me with genuine hospitality that instantly felt like home. The breakfast was amazing! Unfortunately, I stayed only for one night and could not enjoy the facility, but the top-notch service and stunning scenery makes me defintely recommend this place.

WiFi can be a bit slow at times, and reaching the property involves navigating a narrow, uphill road, which can be a bit challenging.

We have stayed recently with Piyal and his family in the Grove. We had an amazing time. The location is beautiful a bit outside Kandy but it's quiet and the views are amazing. Piyal is an excellent host and makes you feel at home.He is very helpful if need anything. The food is amazing. Little swimming pool with view over the mountains. If you are looking for peaceful holidays it is the place to go.

We had a wonderful stay at the grave! I stayed with my wife and two kids, and it was a truly memorable experience. The view was amazing, especially in the morning when we could see the beautiful sunrise. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, especially with the kids. The food was delicious, and the swimming pool was awesome – we had so much fun! The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the whole place felt very relaxing. They also arranged transport for us when we were leaving, which was really helpful. Overall, we are very happy with the service and would definitely recommend the grave to anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable stay.

We really enjoyed the stay - beautiful views, a lovely large room and amazing food.

Very remote but beautifully located high in the hills with a swimming pool & a view you can only dream of! The Grove is modern, bedroom is spacious and dinner wS very tasty with a stunning view

We had two nights at the Grove and everything was perfect. We had the family room which was enormous with a beautiful shaded balcony overlooking the mountains. The breakfast was phenomenal- eggs and sausages, followed by platters of French toast and pancakes and finally a plate of fresh fruit. We ate their both evenings and the dinners were excellent. We especially loved the infinity pool which was perfect for a cool down and big enough to get a proper swim in after a hot walk or run.

Our stay at this hotel was nothing short of magical! Perched atop a stunning hill surrounded by a lush forest, the hotel offered breathtaking views in every direction. Our room had windows on three sides, allowing us to witness the mesmerizing dance of the clouds right beside us—it felt like living in a dream. What made our experience even more special was the hotel's exceptional management. The owner, a distinguished aerospace engineer, took care of us like a caring brother, ensuring every detail of our stay was perfect. The staff were incredibly polite, energetic, and kind, always ready to assist with a warm smile. Beyond the spectacular scenery and outstanding hospitality, we created some of the most beautiful family memories here. The tranquil atmosphere, combined with the warmth of the people, made this a truly unforgettable getaway. If you're looking for a place that offers both natural beauty and heartfelt hospitality, this hotel is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

A very good spread

The views were INCREDIBLE! What a lovely place to stay. Our hosts were so friendly and helpful, we really enjoyed our time with them - will be visiting again!

WiFi is a bit slow, and the local tuktuk driver kept increasing the price every ride.

If you want to relax from the hustle and bustle of the city, this hotel will be Perfect. Helpful and very nice Staff. The pool has a beautiful view, as does the room

The access road was bad

Top location, great room, beautiful environment, nice breakfast and dinner. What more to add? Super hotel.

Piyal was a total gentleman. He was hospitable, informative, and efficient. He organised transport for us ( both during and onwards)made phone calls and booked the cultural show for us. I think he spoke better English than me!!! The Grove itself is beautiful. It had all the facilities required ( no refrigerator in room or kettle but filter water available on tap in the shared lounge and Tea/ coffee on request). It was spotlessly clean. Dinner was available via the hotel next door- it was brought over for you so you wouldn't really have noticed. Beer was also available. There was also a pool next door, a 3 minute walk. It has spectacular views- one of the highlights of the Grove.

Some people have pointed out that it is remote with a bad road. Agreed, however, it is exactly as advertised! It is 35 minutes from the centre of Kandy, navigable by car or Tuk Tuk- both readily organised for a fair price by Piyal. So, no issue then. Incidentally, it is much nearer to the Ambuluwawa Tower and Peradeniya Gardens than Kandy. We would happily recommend as the remoteness ensures tranquillity, a fab pool, and a great property/ host.
