Our group of 3 stayed here for one night, the night before our safari to Yala. We absolutely loved this hotel, it really was an amazingly comfortable stay. From the moment we got there we were greeted with incredible hospitality. All the staff really went out of their way to look after us, making sure we were always comfortable. The room itself was great for us too, spacious, clean and cool. We also organised the safari through this hotel and it was super easy. They gave us a big box of food and water too which was really appreciated. Really great hotel, keep up the good work! Our favourite hotel so far in Sri Lanka!!

The property was super clean and gorgeous! We were greeted with coconut waters and made to feel at home instantly. We were able to order food on arrival after a long sweaty ride there, and were taken to feed the deer and see local birds and bats in the evening for free! Great stay.

Very friendly staff! They were extremely helpful and fixed everything for us. They will set up the safari for you, with everything included, even breakfast and morning coffee at 4:30 am. The stay includes a mini safari around the local lake for free, highly recommended. The rice and curry at the hotel was good! Everything was just perfect! The rooms very clean and good space.

Nice, clean and big rooms. Lush location. Very helpful personell that gave us a mini safari for free the day before the Yala safari. They also provided a lot of water, which was nice in the heat.

The staff went above and beyond themselves to make us feel welcome. We received a chilled coconut juice when we checked-in and they also took us on a free bird watching tour in the afternoon. When you need to go anywhere, they‘ll also help you out by getting a tuktuk or even driving you yourself. The breakfast was exceptional. The safari we had booked via the hotel was also great. We got a small breakfast despite the early pickup time and a knowledgable guide who tried his best to make our experience memorable.

The shower wasn’t great

Staff very helpful and friendly. We should of got there earlier because they take you round on sort of a mini safari but we did get to see and feed the Bambi’s (deer)

The smell of their cleaning products was quite strong which was fine for my husband but I'm a bit sensitive to smells so it made my nose stuffy.

The service was great. They let us feed some local deer which was awesome!

Comfortable rooms, helpful staff, great safari. Our safari guide was an expert at spotting animals and birds. The room was clean and the surroundings are very green making you feel like you're living in a jungle.

Nothing. Bit far from restaurants.

Informative and helpful. Lovely garden and quiet location. They aranged safari to Bundala, which was beautiful. Evening drive around the lake also very good. They also picked us up and dropped us at the bus stop.

The manager took us on a bird and bat watching excursion in the evening which was lovely. There was also wild deer who are comfortable around humans and we fed them. Take away breakfast was prepared for us to take on safari. There are some food options available onsite. The stay was very peaceful and comfortable. The staff are extremely accommodating. Our safari driver Tharanga was very knowledgeable and we found the safari really enjoyable.

Lovely peaceful place and the room was clean and comfortable. They arranged a safari (in-house) & we had a fabulous driver/spotter. Breakfast is included & you can order other meals there too - which are all good. They provide daily water, a trip to the lakes to do some bird, croc & bat spotting & they have deer out the back that come when they're called! Their main focus is keeping the customer happy & it's evident in everything they do. The staff are amazing- they really want you to have a good time. Thanks especially to Mihirange, Priya & Shamika who made my stay wonderful!

Dinner does take a long time to cook but this wasn’t too much of an issue for us as we had no evening plans and were happy to wait.

Amazing place with wonderful staff who want to help you. Calm, relaxing environment where you can feed deer and sit overlooking the well kept garden. We enjoyed 2 nights here, including two dinners which were very nice. The Safari organised by the hotel is really good, they even supply tea, coffee and cake before you leave and a bowl of fresh fruit when you’re back. One of the staff members drove us to the bus stand and helped us to get to our next location. Would recommend if staying in Yala and looking for a well priced, well organised safari stay.

The mosque nets could have been a little bigger on the double bed. The language barrier was at times a little disjointed.

We were greeted with coconut water. It was a lovely lush peaceful haven. It was so sweet feeding the deer. They are very proud of their tameness and very protective of their space too. They organised a small tour to the temple by the sea, driving us there and even waiting whilst we visited. Organising our safari was simple. Nothing seemed too much trouble, even sorting out our return trip back to Hikkaduwa. Thank you again

Nothing. I loved every part of our stay.

The most friendly staff you will ever meet. I can't thank them all enough for their generosity and kindness. Key Points 1. A/C works great 2. The best homemade meals of your life 3. Stable wi-fi (especially for the area) - if you have issues speak with staff and they will resolve immediately. 4. Comfy Beds 5. CLEAN EVERYWHERE 6. Beautiful grounds We also booked a safari with them but the rain was so bad the park shut down and turned us away. We asked if we could receive a refund and they gave us back our money with no hesitation or argument. This hotel is run by honest, hard working, and loving people. You will regret not booking here. Thank you again staff at Nehansa Resort and Safari you made us feel at home.

The room was very comfortable and clean. The staff was really nice and took care of everything we needed. We had dinner there and it was the best food we had during our trip! We did the safari with them and felt our driver was really knowledgeable and didn't rush through the park

Friendly and helpful staff. Booked the safari for us and food was available on site for a reasonable price. Also you can feed deer in their garden which is pretty cool. The room was also clean and the bathroom was nice.

Nice team, good food and clean rooms. We booked a safari with another company prior to arrival, this was no problem at all. We still only heard good things about the safari they arrange, so next time we will do it with them ;) in the garden you can watch Bambi deer
