The hotel was great, the facilities were very good and the staff was lovely. They welcome you with a super delicious banana juice and help you with everything you need.

We arrived at this hotel around 12-13 pm, the room was not ready, we waited for about 20 minutes.. They brought welcome cocktails. The room they gave us was not the one we booked, but oh well.. The air conditioner is noisy on the ground floor.. There is a party near the room.. The area is full of caterpillars.. There is a river nearby, which means the mosquitoes bite like wild ones.. The pool is cold because it is in the thickets. .. Sun beds with ants and water after the rain.. We didn’t see them being cleaned.. The territory is monitored endlessly, the paths are swept.. It’s a bit noisy in the room and the hotel. There was hot water. Breakfast is standard Sri Lankan without any surprises... We took chicken soup at the hotel and only water. The staff is friendly.

The hotel owner’s little baby is so cute. She kept asking me to play with her. When I went to stay here in Yala Park, the jeep driver the hotel found was great👍🏻Awesome👍🏻

A great place to stay - very helpful staff who very kindly made us packed breakfasts to take on two safari trips to Yala and Bundala that started very early in the morning. The rooms are nice and the food in the restaurant is good. We also enjoyed the pool. Overall a great base for visiting the nearby national parks.

The team was amazing and the location is great! Really recommend this place. The staff is always happy to help and make your stay great. Food delicious and pool really nice. We stayed for two nights and we have no complaints at all. Also there are a lot of birds to watch and admire

Our stay at Hotel River Front was a mixed experience with notable highs and lows. Starting with the positives, the service at the hotel was good. The staff were friendly and made an effort to ensure our comfort. The amenities provided were also satisfactory, contributing to a generally comfortable stay despite some of the hotel's shortcomings. One of the highlights of our visit was the safari tour arranged by the hotel. It was a fantastic experience, but we learned a valuable lesson: booking a full-day tour might not be the best option. The tour started with a 4 am pickup, and by midday, we were exhausted. A half-day tour ending around noon would have been more than sufficient and could have saved us quite a bit of money. This advice would have been appreciated beforehand. However, there were several areas where the hotel could improve. The food was average at best, lacking the flavors and variety we had hoped for. Additionally, an older gentleman was frequently seen roaming the premises with his big belly exposed, and he had an unpleasant habit of spitting on the floor, which was quite off-putting. The bathroom in our room was terrible, with outdated fixtures and cleanliness issues that needed urgent attention. While the pool was small, it was adequate for a quick dip and relaxation. The "River View" advertised by the hotel was rather misleading, as it turned out to be more of a muddy stream than a picturesque river. In summary, Hotel River Front offers good service and a well-organized safari tour, but there are significant areas that need improvement. With a focus on upgrading the food quality, bathroom facilities, and providing accurate descriptions of the views, the hotel could enhance the overall guest experience.

We made the booking 10 months in advance and they canceled it 2 weeks before arrival as "they had too many bookings". They didn't even say we are sorry. Nothing to help in the situation. Don't trust them unless you are ready to be screwed in the last minute
