Hotel Birds View

Very peaceful calm quite surrounding. Hosts are very helpful and supportive. They served very tasty foods. Clean and comfortable rooms. Can see a various birds in surrounding. They provide a service beyond expectations.

We really recommend you to choose this place in Tissa because of many reasons: the owners are nice and very helpful, they welcome you with a drink and gave us also coconut water 'cause we asked for It. The surrounding area is incredible peaceful, quiete and with a great nature. From the terrase you can see a lake and the beautiful garden that surrounds the house. It Is such a relaxing place!!!!!

Nothing!!!!

Location is not bad

I’m sorry to say it but it was dirty, unfortunately we found a huge cockroach in the pillow- and overall it was not clean, the towels smell bad too.

The hotel is situated along the lake so it’s completely inside the nature. It’s a very quiet location and they can arrange a safari for you. The hosts are extremely kind: they gave us welcome drinks, a free ride to see the bat 🦇 trees and a coconut after the safari!

As I said the location is inside the nature, so if you want to go somewhere else to eat you have to go with a tuktuk. For us that wasn’t a problem because we had a really good dinner at the hotel.

Our room and the accommodation exceeded our expectations..... Everyone visiting Sri Lanka should stay here. Why? I hear you ask. Located only slightly out of town, it is surrounded by trees and birds, with magnificent views across the lake and beyond. Outside there is a lovely wide walk on the embankment along the lake. Our hosts, who are brothers, greeted us with a long cool drink when we arrived and are lovely people. The breakfast was exceptionally good. And the accommodation was spotless, of course. The open verandah for meals and breakfast was the perfect location and caught the breeze. When we needed to find something from the shops, they were happy to guide us until we found it and negotiated the local price. Very good value for money. Memories for life were made from our stay.

Everything was perfect

I chose to stay here while visiting Yala National Park. The hotel staff were very welcoming and attentive always asking if there was anything they could do for us. Our Safari was organised through them which I highly recommend doing. We were offered bicycle rentals but ran out of time on our busy schedule. We were two female travellers who felt safe during our stay. There is not a whole lot going on in Tissa but the hotels location right on the lake made for great walks and sunsets before our dinners prepared in house. Our rooms both had working aircon, ceiling fans and hot water.

I think I opted for the room with lake view but my view was of the restaurant. Totally fine as I loved my stay however I don't think there is a room with lake view.

Beautiful location, close to two of the lakes. We had a lovely stroll in the afternoon and early evening to go watch the fruit bats and birds. A/C worked well. Very friendly hosts. The guesthouse is cheap compared to others in the area; dinner was also cheap.

For this price, we can’t really complain. The pictures paint a slightly too optimistic picture though. WiFi was very, very slow, which meant planning the rest of trip was virtually impossible. We did book a trip to Yala National Park at the guesthouse, but as it’s quite far from town, we could not compare prices.

Location and staff were extremely hospitable :)

Very helpful staff, he arranged a full day safari. He kept offering me tea or coffee, even at 4 am before leaving to the safari. Location is nice just next to a beautiful lake with lots of birds. I would definitely recommend.

In the proximity of the accommodation I didn’t find any restaurants. It is kind of in the middle of jungle, so during the night it was noisy from the animals, I needed earplugs for a nice sleep.
