Lock in a great price for Nil Diya Mankada Safari Resort – rated 8.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

Surrounding was Wonderful! Felt like in a Luxurious Tent in a Jungle!

Gayan, Sri Lanka

Clean, nice food. Nice place to relax after or before a trip to somewhere more remote

Neil, United Arab Emirates

Swimming pool and the room was good ! Staff like Dilshan were helpful.

Premkumar, India

Rooms were reasonably comfortable with a garden outlook. We enjoyed the small porch attached to our room. We also had a small fridge and tea and coffee making facilities. Good sized pool, very clean. Grounds were green and shady, and there were lots of birds around.

Lex, Australia

When you see the other hotels and guest houses nearby, it is easy to say that this hotel is much better than the others by means of outlook. The room is okay.

Haruncanz, Malaysia

Good value for money for nice cabanas in a beautiful and well kept garden. Great swimming pool, good room.

Oliver, Netherlands

Great hotel, peaceful, quiet, comfortable. Highly recommended

Nina, Spain

The staff were, if anything, over zealous but we soon got used to the service level. The hotel was not that busy so I think we became the centre of attention.

Bernie, United Kingdom

Its really a nice place staff very friendly very clean But food price little higher

Rohan, Sri Lanka

The accommodation and facilities were ample. The menu was adequate but we were hankering for a bit more as it was week 2 of a series of excellent curries.

There is a significant problem with flies. Each meal is pestered by at least a dozen of the bloody things. The food was poor on the first day but with what appeared to be a change of chef, there was a big improvement on day two.
The staff were, if anything, over zealous but we soon got used to the service level. The hotel was not that busy so I think we became the centre of attention.

We accept that we are in the middle of the jungle and 'critters' are a plenty. We had ants in our room but feared that if we bought it to the attention of staff, we would have 'chemical response', so we didn't. Airtight containers for food stored in the room/fridge is a must. Please note: we do not see this as a failing by the hotel or staff. We just want others to be prepared as we were when we saw the amazing ant mound/nests in the charming grounds that surrounded our stand alone 'cottage'.
The accommodation and facilities were ample. The menu was adequate but we were hankering for a bit more as it was week 2 of a series of excellent curries.

Fantastic location especially for the safari which the hotel provide. Lovely comfortable rooms, clean and well furnished. Staff extremely helpful and couldn’t do enough for you. Lots of choices of food on the buffet in the evening. Outdoor pool very clean, it was empty when we used it in the morning. Highly recommend this hotel, would definitely return.

Bed was hard, light not working on our porch (which we reported). Although good facilities, there was no atmosphere - we had dinner in a big space with only two other families. Service was still good but not personalised in any way considering number of guests on site. No options to eat anywhere other than on site, due to location, and was a bit more expensive than we paid elsewhere in Sri Lanka.
Nice pool and hammocks. Good massage. Reception staff helpful booking for us.

Limited choice of food when we were there, basically a buffet. No a la carte. That said food was good. Bathrooms could do with a refresh.
Near the national park, the feel of the place as a game lodge, so perfect for why we stayed. Rooms clean with mini bar, pool and health centre for treatments. Great value for money.

Check in was a night mare...they didnt have a clue about the booking which was a suprise as we have booked 2 family rooms and a double room. Then they wanted me to give the booking .com confirmation... At the Check out point nobody helped us with luggage either... Being local guests...breakfast was not included despite paying above average price and their pricing for breakfast was very high...
