Guest Reviews
- Matthew (7/5): Good place. It needs some minor fix ups. - The pool, our spacious room, good customer service, and the restaurant 👌 No hot water and the bed was far too hard.
- Maxwell (10/5): Great Place to Stay - Perfect location. Walking distance to town, the temples and the lake. Restaurant offered a variety of food choices and the dishes we had were excellent. Amazing pool, outdoor space. Super helpful/friendly staff. Internet very good in room.
- Kathryn (10/5): Lovely hotel on the river - Already planning our next stay here. Lovely hotel right on the river. Friendly helpful staff who couldn't do enough for you. Good menu at night & good breakfast. Way too much food. Area around is so quiet & peaceful.
- Zdeněk (10/5): Exceptional - Everything
- Don (10/5): - Selected as convenient over night stay close to Yala Park. First impression was well kept bright welcoming property. Staff great. Rooms cool large and well maintained. Pool a bonus...and small gym! Breakfast substantial and delish. Definitely recommend for Yala safari visit.
- Kathleen (10/5): - An amazing place to stay! Rooms are comfortable and clean with great facilities including a delicious food at their restaurant and a relaxing pool. The staff set up a great full day safari for us with meals included. Everyone was incredibly friendly and accommodating.
- Caitlyn (10/5): Exceptional - A lovely relaxing place. Very friendly people and delicious food!
- Mark321 (10/5): Clean - it really is what matters most! - Family owned, very friendly people. Got a recently renovated room that was very comfortable and probably the cleanest we've had all of our time in Sri Lanka. Accommodated our request for earlier breakfast. Cannot comment on swimming pool or food as we didn't try. We stayed just one night. The stay was great, hence the 10 rating. Only tip I can give the hotel, and I can give this tip to almost every hotel in Sri Lanka (we stayed in about 10): in the bathroom, separate your shower by a glass wall or at least a shower curtain, it keeps the whole bathroom from getting wet. Do not let this deter you from staying, it is the same in almost every hotel bathroom in Sri Lanka.
- Jana (10/5): - Great hotel. Nice and clean and upgraded us to the treehouse. Bed was really comfortable and we had both a/c and a fan. Very accommodating and made sure we were booked for a great safari tour. Nice restaurant on site. Went over and above providing take away breakfast for the tour and breakfast at the hotel that accommodated my food intolerance. Highly recommend.
- Sheilagh (10/5): A touch of luxury to enhance your stay in SriLanka - We had a wonderfully relaxing few days. The staff were friendly and helpful and the meals were most enjoyable. Our room was immaculately clean and the water was hot. It was lovely to be able to sit out on a balcony and read. The manager arranged a great safari to Bandula National Park and provided us with a very tasty breakfast to take with us. On leaving, they were able to arrange transport to our next hotel. The recently extended and beautifully decorated hotel is located in a quiet area looking out on the river. The local wildlife of birds and animals could be heard and appreciated. Thank you to all the members of the family who cared for us throughout our stay! We highly recommend everyone to stay at your beautiful hotel.
- Linda (10/5): Beautiful hotel - This family owned hotel is stunningly beautiful. So many decorative details. The pool and hot tub so inviting. Backyard faces river with monkeys close by.
- Sarath (10/5): Best in Tissa - Great place , family run business, Dinner and breakfast was included and the best. Friendly people , extremely polity and helpful. There is nothing to complain, felt great
- mc (10/5): Great stay near Tissamaharama - I love this place and could have stayed longer. A clean swimming pool. A restaurant on site and we could eat any time. Staff were very accommodating. There was also a free jeep tour (offer tips) of the local area where I saw monkeys. Wonderful!
- Johan (10/5): Great view - Fantastisk utsikt och trevlig personal.
- irina (6/5): Major construction - Overall it was ok.. good design. Newest rooms. My problem that haven't disclosed that they are under construction. Try to relax at the pool when workers are putting tiles 5 miters from you and stare at you all the time.
- Tim (8/5): Relaxing Stay at a Nice Place - Friendly staff. Rooms were very clean and in great condition. Pool was nice.
- Verified traveler (8/5): River - Fantastiskt hotell men inte så bra mat tyvärr.
- Roodolfo (8/5): Good place, a bit isolated - This is a great place, with a great staff. The pool was just being finished when we stayed here. It will help because it is a bit removed from restaurants and the town in general. If there for a safari to Yala, they will arrange that for you (at a slightly higher price than in town)
- John (6/5): Good location for safari - The reason for coming to this area was to visit Yalla national park. The hotel organised an excellent half day safari for us with a really good, knowledgeable guide. This was really helpful as there were so many touts offering trips it could have been a nightmare. The accommodation was adequate, the staff friendly and helpful. All in all it provided good value for money.
- Roger (10/5): A modern hotel with a traditional touch. - Just minutes off the main road, you enter through an impressive gateway and see in front of you an almost fairytale structure, set in a tropical garden. Large rooms with cold drinks always available. FYI however, I suspect that it's a little walk to town or anywhere else if you don't have a car.
- Azim j sarangi (10/5): Oasis in the Jungle! - Amazing property run by a very nice Family. Service superb. Breakfast nice. We were there during the Poas(Full Moon) and the family kindly invited us to the Big Buddha Temple in the evening which was very special! Thank you Again Family!
- Clement (8/5): Great place to stay. - Great place to stay. Much better than I expected. Will recommend highly.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Small, clean hotel worth your money - Although it was a bit hard to find, this small hotel was a great choice for us. We only spent one night but we would have stayed longer with no problem. The room was clean and new, we had a small terrace off our room and they were doing some renovations in the backyard so it will look great outside as well. The staff was friendly and were willing to meet our every request. We had dinner delivered to the tables on the second floor outside our room, and after a long, hot day, the cold beer was very welcome. Breakfast was very good as well.
- FMcP (10/5): Wish we could have stayed longer - Just what we needed. Lovely owners and staff. Comfortable room with balcony, lots of privacy, and great food. The resort is new, beautifully designed, with lots of attention to detail. Backs onto the river, lovely garden area where you can while away a few hours in a hammock. There's also a tree house which you can stay in, which looks really cool. They have all the info you need, can organise safaris, tuk tuks into Tissa and surrounds. We got a tuk tuk into Tissa 200RS went to the Stuppa, walked along the lake at sunset, saw all the wildlife and the sunset then walked back to the resort.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great Hotel for Safari in Yala National Park - Excellent hotel for a budget nights stay in close proximity to Yala national park. Clean rooms, friendly and welcoming hosts and tasty food. The hotel helped organise a safari trip in Yala National Park, which we felt was good value for money. Our driver, Darshana, was excellent, dedicated and very knowledgeable.
- Jim (10/5): An excellent, family run, hotel. - I stayed at the hotel from November 2nd - November 7th 2015. The hotel arranged for collection from Colombo to the hotel for a reasonable cost. It was great to see the whole family come together to make the hotel work. Mum, Dad, sisters, bothers etc. all share in the upkeep. The service was first class and the lovely gardens and settings helped to create a friendly, relaxing atmosphere. The hotel offer bike hire and safaris to the local reserves at a good price considering what is involved for the safari. The weather was quite kind and the only heavy rain appeared at night. All food was hand cooked to order and was very tasty. It was also obvious that the owners were working further to improve the hotel but this did not detract from the holiday. 5*. GO!
