The staff were so nice and hospitable. Food was delicious and authentic Sri Lankan. The hotel is on the river and we saw wild monkeys playing and some beautiful birds. Luxshan/ Luckshan made our stay so comfortable and was very warm and welcoming. It was really enjoyable. Thank you guys we will hopefully come back one day

We liked it all :)

We were very lucky to have the whole place to ourselves and the host Lakshan made us feel like it was home. It was open plan and the pool was a perfect size to cool off. He made us the most amazing dinner, gave us welcome drinks, put our music on around the pop and even taught us how to play a local game! He made our first night in Sri Lanka one to remember!

Didn't get to explore the area, so cant comment This was an airport stop off. Good location for airport . Staff very attentive and helpful . Pool and nice food. Kettle and fridge in room. Could have been a little cleaner

Incredible place, one of the nicest we stayed in Sri Lanka and it was just meant to be a stopover. Very comfortable room. Great common area and pool. River was really nice to swim in too. The best was the warm welcome from Lakshan and getting to chat with him. He is a great host and very good cook too! Would definitely recommend staying and eating there. Food was very reasonable prices and very good quality .

Beautiful villa next to river, quiet and peaceful with amazing staff. The pool was delicious and so was the breakfast and dinner we had. Highly recommend this place, a bit of luxury at a reasonable cost.

Not the fault of the property but a neighbour plays Buddhist chanting music over a loud speaker between 5am and 6am

Location, the staff, the nature, the sound of the running river, the kids loved the pool

Recommend this hotel strongly - it is a quiet, cozy place with a unique local atmosphere. Personnel was proffesional and friendly, as we arrived late in the evening they arranged for us a delivery from a near by shop, which was lovely. The room was very clean, with a nice and calming view - as we were the only guests that day, we were offered a free room upgrade.

Really enjoyed our stay at Roshara. Our last minute booking was no problem at all for the extremely friendly staff :) The location is in between Colombo/Negombo and Dambulla/Habarana, which makes it a good stop.

Fabulous introduction to my stay in Sri Lanka! I arrived very late due to late arrival of flight and was greeted very warmly. Was even bought a pot of hot tea ( at 2 in the morning). Beautiful spacious room with modern amenities. Large modern bathroom with spacious shower. Great water pressure. Window next to shower looked directly into lush greenery. Stunning views everywhere. Lush green foliage. Palm trees. A eco paradise. My host was friendly and attentive. Felt at home instantly. Beautiful home cooked meals. Beautiful pool , lined with iridescent blue mosaic tiles. Lots of places to 😌. Highly recommend.

Access, unfortunately is difficult in that the hotel is situated a fair distance from the main road down an unsurfaced road. For anybody in their own vehicle that's no problem though signage could be better. Google maps will help you out!

Roshara Nella Hotel is perfectly placed just far enough from urban hubbub to feel wonderfully calm but only an hour from Bandaranaike airport, so a great first stop for anyone touring in Sri Lanka. A lovely, helpful host will welcome you to your accommodation (all rooms on two storeys around a well-maintained pool).
