    This is a great location to stay if you want to visit the national parks and My Village will organise safaris to the four parks in the area either a half or full day. The local town is not a tourist town but it's great to wander around looking in the local shops.

    Was in Tissamaharama for Yala Safari, had booked the early morning Safari. Disappointed with the Safari as there were very few animals except.for.peacocks and spotted dear. Later into the ride our jeep driver and guide revealed we had entered through block 5 of the Safari and most the animals(Leopard, Bears) mostly are sighted in block 1 and 2. Block 1 and 2 were closed that day, maybe just our luck. So I guess check, with the Safari organizer before booking your safari as it quite expensive. Basically disappointed ☹️

    Very good base for safari to Yala or Bundala parks.

    Very good base for safari to Yala or Bundala parks. I' went to Bundala as I've never been to park with big wetlands and I think it was a great choice. We've seen numerous types of birds, lizards, monkeys, jackals, mangooses, bufallos, crocodiles and also few elephants😊 I didn't stay in center of Tissa but still was able to find nice restaurants, like Smoky Kitchen (recommended).

    What an exceptional place! Huge rooms with an outdoor style bathroom - similar to some 5 star hotels’ rooms. Lovely view from the terrace and the swimming pool over the lake and the buffalos, beautiful sunset. What makes this place even more special is the owner Arun and his staff - they go the extra mile to make each and every guest satisfied. They prepared an amazing Sri Lankan brunch for us after our safari. Dinner was sooo delicious as well , so flavourful, best food we had during our stay. Thank you so much!

    Probably the best hotel during our holiday in Srí Lanka. Owner of hotel since the morning texted us to ensure that our stay will be fully prepared. Tuk tuk was waiting for us on bus station, we had delicious dinner, breakfast and lunch. Our trip to safari was ensured and could not have been easier. We appreciate the friendly approach of staff and the unbelivable combination of low price and quality of provided services. If you will go to Tissamaharama, go there and you will not regret.

    Great hotel with good and very helpful team. There was an issue with the pool during our stay related to the current situation in Sri Lanka. We were informed beforehand sufficiently so there were no surprises and we could still enjoy a swim. Even though we booked our Yala National Park safari separately from the hotel, everything went without a hitch. A breakfast was prepared and ready for us and the night guard was very helpful. A definite recommendation from us.

    Amazing breakfast. Exceeded out expectations. Sri Lankan and continental cuisine! The hotel also arranged our Safari and the driver and guide of the safari was exceptional. He always seemed to know where animals would show up. We saw so much wildlife! His driving made us feel so safe and his knowledge about the parks flora and fauna was utterly inspiring. Thank you sooo much driver for such an amazing experience. We can only highly recommend this young man!

Please note that this place has a nice location if you want to go to Yala (block 1 entrance). Would recommend this place to everyone! Greetings from DK 🇩🇰❤️

    Incredible rooms, grounds, breakfast and staff. Everything here was top notch from arrival to departure. What an incredible hotel! We were able to book a private safari (recommended) through the hotel for a lower price than other locations online. Chuti was a great guide and saw/pointed out animals that we would’ve missed. The pool is a dream at the hotel, as are all the facilities. It’s clean, comfortable and luxurious.
