    The environment was really natural and cool. The room space and the beds are really comfortable than we have expected. We have exited with the surprise they have made for us for our anniversary. Thank you so much for the excellent service extended. Awaiting for the next visit too Keep it up

    It will be more comfortable if you can put a more thick shower curtain to the washroom 😜

    It’s a nature friendly location and a very convenient. They warmly welcomed us and treated us very nicely during our stay at Hantara; not like other places in the area.

    Excellent and truly magical experience. We stayed in the jungle canopy lodges - the design and location of these are incredible. Attentive and wonderful staff. Do not hesitate to book this - our only regret was not staying longer. The pictures simply do not do it justice

    The air con was quite noisy and the outside shower was a bit of a dribble.

    It's a beautiful location and the staff were very attentive. They organised a tour for Udawalawe, and our tour guide was exceptional. He stopped to show us small things when other jeeps zipped by, like a gecko and some beautiful rare birds. The meal in the evening was delicious. We had kottu and devilled chicken between us. On arrival, we had a little daylight left, and the owner organised a tuk tuk to take us to a local temple where there were very few tourists, which we really appreciated.

    The bungalow was super clean, the shower beautiful, it was quiet and there were many birds around but best about this place is the very kind service crew. They offer what is to offer but without pressure and they give you any info you ask for. We were very happy to stay.

    The rooms need a little touch up all together. But nothing was bad or not usable. Just not in the best shape anymore.

    The lunch we got for the safari was not the greatest but was ok. Once again the staff are beyond accommodating and nice people!!

    Great staff so kind want to be sure everything is taken care of. They booked us a safari for the following day, witch was spectacular. Space was very well maintained amongst the bungalows. Food we had was very good. Felt like good value for money. It is out of the way but we had our own transportation.
