Good value hotel for a quick pit stop to visit Yala National park, big breakfast and lovely view from 1st floor rooms over looking the paddy fields.

The host asked me 2 days before my arrival if I wanted to book the safari with them for $60. I confirmed this so I didnt arrange anything on my own. When I checked in the hotel (7pm, which is kind of late for Sri Lanka), they informed me that in the end there was no safari booked as it was low season and they could not find any jeeps available for sharing. They told me I may need to go privately which was significantly more expensive. I declined this and complaint, however said I would not book something private with them. Without them knowing, I contacted someone else online that offered me the whole safari shared for $100, so there were clearly spots available. An hour later, the hotel did contact me to let me know the safari had now been arranged as previously agreed - I ended up going with them as it was cheaper. The safari was good, and the room was excellent, but the way they handled my safari reservation was poor (and dodgy)

The room was big, both beds had mosquito nets and were comfortable. The room was hot but the ventilator kept the room at good temperature. The toilet was also good. The area was calm and quiet. Really good price-quality

The owner was extremely kind to us. Made sure we were ok and even delivered some fruits to our room he'd grown himself! The safari was amazing too, picked straight up from accommodation and saw masses of animals ☺️

The water pressure in the shower with the heater was so low that we had to use the "old" shower with cold water only, but in the heat outside that was not really a problem. The internet connection could also benefit from increased speed...

The stuff was really friendly and helpful and the room was very nice although a bit smaller. The lobby and other facilities were also very comfy and clean. We really enjoyed our short stay and can recommend it to others.

I highly recommend staying at Nature Resort. It is conveniently located (and the views are gorgeous), the rooms are nice, spacious and very clean (so is the bathroom). The owner is such a warm, friendly, helpful person - he definitely is the reason why I think Nature Resort is exceptional. He helped us arrange a safari (highly recommended to do it via the owner!), prepared some snacks and coffee for us in the morning and juice when we came back. He was always there, smiling and ready to help. One of my best stays in Sri Lanka!

Great friendly hotel. The manager is fantastic and will go out of his way to help you. The rooms are spotlessly clean (as is the hotel) and it is located in a quiet location 5 minutes walk from town. Highly recommend and we would definitely stay here again. Additionally the safari we organised through the hotel with Pasanna was fantastic - the early morning start was totally worth it and we were first through the gate when the park opened. Pasanna was highly knowledgeable with fantastic 4wd skills and enabled us to see a great selection of animals (we even saw 2 leopards which I hear is rare, 3 different families of elephants all with babies, as well most of the other animals that are in the park). We chose a full day safari (every jeep spends 12-2 having lunch and resting…bring a book) - which enabled us to be a bit more relaxed and made the whole day super enjoyable! Highly recommend this safari!

Everything was perfect! The host was super kind and nice with us. He cooked a wonderful meal for us, everything was perfect 🤩 We also booked a safari with the hotel and it was a really good safari, well organized and at a really good price. Thank you for everything ❤️

I can’t fully recommend the safari with this hotel though. The driver/guide was super nice and punctual, stopped to show us various animals on the way. But it was uncomfortable to ride his jeep in the front seat in the rain. The roof was leaking and all cold water poured on my feet. The driver tried to fix the problem, but to no avail. I sat the entire safari with wet and cold feet. I had a raincoat, but it didn’t help as the water poured right on my feet. Unfortunately, there were no other seats available in other rows as the car had 4 other stranger people sitting in middle and back rows who also booked the safari (the car is a 6-seater Bolero, 3 rows of seats). So I think the safari with this hotel is good on a sunny day, but if it’s raining - be ready to seat with wet and cold feet for the entire safari.

Nice host, quiet location, clean room, air con, hot water (though the pressure is quite low). The host made a delicious vegetarian dinner for 900 lkr.

A very beautiful small house, also very close to the city area.

The host was very attentive and made sure we were happy throughout our stay. He also helped us arrange a safari to Yala which we both really enjoyed and gave us some good advice about the local buses. The setting was lovely from the garden to the rice fields opposite. We were both very happy with the room and the bathroom was spacious. Another positive was the short walk to the local restaurants.

The host was very nice and possibly a great cook it was smelling delicious just before we left. He offers safari packages and I suggest you check them out and maybe you won't get kinda scammed like we did with another company.

The breakfast was small and not delicious (several fruits, local bread, water). It was rainy time and were roof leaks above the bed. The double bed was small.

The hotel is near the Tissa center, cafe, local reservoir and temple. Host could organize safari. There is parking place and garden.

Lacks cleanliness Power cut the following morning

Customer Service

Stayed in June 2023

I think that the comunication between the owner and Mr Nihal should be better. It seems that the information doesn't arrive to Mr Nihal. He didn't know about some things that we reserved for the rooms or even that we had breakfast (what was ok...). We asked for some sheeds cause the beds had only blankets and, cause we didn't pay AC (it was not in Booking that option even) it was very hot, but they told us that they had only 3 sheeds but I found the place where they keep it and they had 100! So, I picked 1 for each person.

Travelling with a group, for work, and the hotel seems ok. The rooms were ok, very clean. The locattion it is ok, near city center. Mr Nihal, the person in charge (not the owner) was very nice and polite. The dinner was very tasty.
