Ariya Tissa

Super nice hosts that did everything for us to have a nice time. The food was amazing - fresh, selfmade and prepared with a lot of love. The property is a bit secluded so you feel relaxed instantly. The room was very spacious with new/modern furniture and the bathroom was incredible, especially the shower worked really well. The Safari with Nishshanka is also worth every cent. His experience really showed when looking for leopards. Other cars were going around like crazy, while he just told us: „we‘ll wait here for 10 minutes have your breakfast“. And wouldn‘t you know it, we were the first to spot the cat maybe 50m away while eating… At first we thought it might have been luck, but a very similar situation played out in the afternoon. So we’re pretty confident, he‘s the man to go to Yala with.

Staff were amazing - so friendly and helpful. Room was spacious and clean. Location right near Yala national park.

Warm welkom, prachtige accommodatie, kleinschalig (2 kamers), zeer ruime en schone kamers. Van alle benodigdheden voorzien (goede bedden, ruime douche met heerlijke waterstraal, tv (indien je hier behoefte aan heb), koelkast, airco.) Complex staat in een prachtige tuin (binnenplaats) die top verzorgd en bijgehouden wordt. Personeel staat in alles voor je klaar. Ontbijt kan Srilankaans of op verzoek Engels. Er wordt met alles rekening gehouden. Ook kan je aangeven dat je wilt lunchen of dineren en ook dit wordt in de puntjes geregeld door de beheerders. Personeel kan ook taxi (vervoer) of safari voor je regelen. Locatie, op loop afstand van centrum/winkels. Het meer kan je makkelijk met een tuktuk bereiken (zn 7min)

Fabulous location base for trips out (not just Yala). Big comfy bed, amazing bathroom with hot powerful shower. The most amazing Sri Lankan food freshly prepared, so tasty, and plenty of flavours. Staff can’t do enough for you and are happy to arrange trips out - Gamini was superb tuk tuk driver and guide. A lovely family feel and you will be totally spoilt!

Nothing. Note there is no bar or pool and only 2 rooms - this is for those who want to experience genuine Sri Lankan hospitality.

Wow!!!! Eine echte Entdeckung! Die Zimmer sind geräumig und schön - Badezimmer sehr grosszügig. Alles SEHR SEHR sauber!!! Indigne (falls falsch geschrieben, entschuldige ich mich) und seine Frau machen den Aufenthalt zu etwas ganz Besonderem. Das Abendessen und Frühstück waren hervorragend- unglaublich, wieviel Mühe er sich gab!! Soooo fein. Die Lage ist zentral (ein paar Gehminuten ins Zentrum), aber sehr ruhig. Ganz herzlichen Dank für alles!!!!

Absolut nichts.

La habitación es perfecta, amplia, nueva y súper cómoda.

Lo único que están construyendo el complejo y los servicios no están funcionando aún al 100%, pero el personal estuvo pendiente en todo momento de lo que necesitábamos y se adaptaron a los horarios que le pedimos

The host was incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome from the very first moment. Everything was delicious! A special mention goes to the breakfast—the rice pudding with fresh fruit and honey was outstanding. The accommodation is super modern and was spotlessly clean throughout our stay. Perfectly located in the center, so everything was within easy reach.

Nothing to complain about!

Beautiful modern, exceptionally clean facilities, welcoming and helpful manager and staff and fantastic food served in a lovely outdoor dining area.

Great hotel with great host and food. We arrived very late yet he waited for us and provided some late night fruits for us to settle in before our early morning safari in a couple hours. The room itself had everything we needed and was very clean and spacious. Water pressure in the shower was excellent. Knowing our safari plans, he prepared sandwiches with some fruits to go for our breakfast as well as plenty of water in a cooler. He also asked us for our lunch preference before leaving and made us a beautiful and delicious homemade Sri Lankan meal as part of his restaurant on the property. Prices were very reasonable. Communication was great before and during our stay. Our host was hospitable, accommodating and went way above and beyond for us for the short time we were there. I'd recommend anyone interested in the safari to work with him and his team. They're kind, professional, and excellent. Our safari driver was excellent. We were lucky to have been arranged with him via our host at Ariya Tissa. The driver was calm and extremely experienced and knowledgable of the park animals and terrain. At the beginning, we were told of the expectations that there would be low chance of seeing leopards because of our timing (moon phases, month). However, he did outline his plan at the entrance of the park which ran differently than other safaris. Among many safari trucks that morning, we were one of the very few trucks that saw leopards. Luck obviously plays a large part, but we believe our driver best prepared us for the opportunity to spot them. By the time many other trucks came by, it had already left. Highly recommend him.
