    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. 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).

    We loved the location of this hotel. It was beautiful. Our main purpose was to go for Safari, and this hotel is perfectly located from Yala National Park. They even packed us breakfast at 5am, so we can take it with us to Safari. We spent an afternoon at the pool, (and had it all to ourselves which was also a bonus). The food was great, and we had the buffet there. The staff were all amazing. Everyone that worked there, were quite young, but incredibly professional, polite and kind, and they all really went out of their way to help us.

    I traveled to this hotel from the town of Ella. We arrived in the evening, and upon checking in, I was greeted with a welcome drink, which was a nice touch. We decided to have dinner at the hotel, and I must say, the food was not only delicious but also reasonably priced. Overall, it felt like a safe and comfortable place to stay, making it suitable for solo travelers. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient and budget-friendly accommodation option.

    Lovely family run hotel serving tasty homemade food. Rooms are clean and comfortable. You can book a safari directly through the hotel. Our Safari driver Saje was brilliant he made a huge effort all day to find leopards and right at the end of the day we had a fantastic sighting of two! His off roading skills are also second to none. It's worth noting if you would like the Sri Lankan breakfast then you need to order the night before

    unique location, away from the hustle and bustle of the city but close enough to go tuk tuk for shopping or dinner. closeness to nature, singing birds, croaking of frogs, all this makes the rest complete. the service is very friendly and helpful. They helped us organize a safari at a great price. I also recommend the hotel massage offer, one of the most pleasant experiences in this category in Sri Lanka.

It was so nice that we could get two bicycles to get to know the environment. Moreover, the room design was very appealing and the service was like in a 5 Star hotel, e.g. with candle light and every detail....
