Guest Reviews
- Sara (10/5): - This is a hidden gem and we are so glad to have found it! It is located right on the lakefront, and we enjoyed the view from our room and pool looking over the lake and watching crocodiles, birds and buffalo. The staff were just incredible and such an asset to the hotel. They organised our transfers to and from the hotel, and shared local treasures on the journey each way. If you are heading into Yala, please book their local driver at the National Park who was such a professional in finding and respecting animals - we saw 2 leopards along with so much wildlife.
- Chantal86 (8/5): Prima - Ruime kamer, zeer vriendelijk personeel, fijn zwembad, mooi uitzicht. Zit erg afgelegen, maar dat heb je al snel op deze plek.
- Olha (7/5): -
- Hayden (7/5): -
- Lea Marleen (10/5): Wunderbar - Wir hatten eine unglaublich toll Zeit! Da wir aufgrund der politischen Weltlage die einzigen Gäste waren, wurden wir unglaublich verwöhnt.
Alle Menschen dort waren unglaublich nett, zuvorkommend und haben unsere zwei kleinen Zwillingsjungs verwöhnt.
Alles war super sauber, komfortabel und schön eingerichtet. Wir hatten warmes Wasser, Klimaanlage und einen kleinen sauberen Kühlschrank im Zimmer.
Der Pool war sauber und schön, direkt mit Blick auf den See. Unsere Kids wollten garnicht daraus.
Der Garten und die Anlage sind noch bunter und mit viel mehr Pflanzen und Bäumen als man auf den Fotos sehen kann. Die ganze Anlage wird von vielen Menschen sehr gewissenhaft gepflegt.
Man kann jeden Tag neue Tiere entdecken (Affen, Echsen, Wasserbüffel, uvm).
Besonderen Dank geht an unseren Koch Inoshan, der uns wirklich das leckerste Essen bisher und immer für unsere picky Kinder angemessen kreierte!
Wir haben mit Blick auf den See gefrühstückt.
Ein weiteres Highlight war die für uns organisierte Safari, die wir halbtags nachmittags gemacht.
Wir hatten einen unglaublichen kompetenten und achtsamen Fahrer, der sich sehr dafür eingesetzt hat, dass wir alle Tiere sehen, aber auch achtsam mit der Natur umgeht!
Die Rezeption reagierte auf alles sofort und selbst unsere Wäsche wurde besser gewaschen, als wir es zuhause machen!
Herzlichen dank für dieses wunderbare Erlebnis!
- Susan (10/5): -
- Mariusz (10/5): Super - Ładny resort, z restauracją, basenem i miejscem do odpoczynku.
Trochę na odludziu ale jest restauracja z dobrym jedzeniem. Sklepy w odległości 0.5 km.
Zorganizowali super safari - współpracują z świetnymi przewodnikami, dzięki którym udało się zobaczyć np lamparta (rozpoznali jego obecność po zachowaniu innych zwierząt)
Polecam Wszystko ok
- Alison (10/5): - Charming staff, thank you Inoshin.
Stunning views and birdlife.⁸
- Nanco (10/5): Geweldig Resort - Erg vriendelijk personeel. In alle opzichten geweldig. Niemand uitgezoderd. Super uitzicht over het meer met alle buffels en vogels. Niets.
- JANICE (10/5): Definitely recommend, a great place to stay. - Such a beautiful setting. Fantastic to swim in the pool with the lake in the background. They arranged a full day safari for us and provided packed breakfast. What a wonderful day that was. The staff were so helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We stayed in a treehouse which was not a problem for us but you need to be fit and able to get up the stairs.
- Saroj (4/5): not satisfactory - food was OK there was no internet , no wifi in the room , and no tv in the room
- nathalie (10/5): Très bon moment au bord de la piscine !!!! Personnel très agréable - Super emplacement dans la nature ! Service long
- Daniel (6/5): - Struttura affacciata direttamente sul lago Camere vecchie e con parecchia muffa nel bagno
- Ira R. (10/5): Highly recommended stay - Lovely staff, especially the chef and driver. Unforgetable views to the lake. Everything is clean.
They offered me vegetarian options and I had an amazing big and tasty breakfast at the unique scenery of the lake. The safari I booked with the hotel was well organized.
Loved the animals around the location.Thank you all so much ! I really enjoyed everything during my stay.
If I may suggest a few improvements, I would recommend providing a hairdryer in the bathroom.
Additionally, it would be great to equip the windows in the stone house with either proper mosquito screens or plexiglass, so guests can enjoy the light and the view without mosquitoes coming inside.
- Jakob (10/5): Personalet gjør virkelig en forskjell - Veldig hyggelig personal, perfekt hvis du skal på safari, vi så en krokodille fra bassenget (utenfor gjerdet) så man får virkelig sett naturen utenfor på en god måte. Bra mat i restauranten
- Werner (10/5): Heerlijk verblijf gehad - Super fijne accommodatie, mooie huisjes, mooi zwembad, super aardig personeel, vooral Inashan heeft ons 2 dagen verwend met een heerlijk ontbijt Niets
- Mehdi (9/5): -
- Delia Azarin (10/5): - Wundervolle Lage mit Blick auf den See . Man konnte die Affen und Wasserbüffel beobachten.
Personal absolut freundlich und hilfsbereit man wird verwöhnt.
- Giuseppe (9/5): -
- Olivia (10/5): - There are many animals here, which makes it very suitable for a relaxing vacation. The waiters are all very friendly.
- simona (8/5): Location perfetta dopo un safari, un po’ distante da Yala ma raggiungibile in auto. Cena piacevole e diverse opzioni per - Location magica Non molto curata nei dettagli
- Daniel (7/5): - Nice view and great staff The room was musty, and the linen stained and looked dirty. Restaurant wasn't great either. I had a bike so I went to Tissa for food mostly.
- Kanthi (8/5): It was a pleasant stay. Very good place for an escape from a chaotic life - Staff were very friendly and decent. Rooms were clean and spacious. Lights was not enough in the room
- raoul (9/5): - Geweldige familie plek!
- Mirjam (8/5): Bijzondere accommodatie met aardige mensen - Slaapplek zag er fantastisch uit. Niks
- Mette (5/5): Good value for money for a short stay - Really helpful and nice staff.
Good place to watch birds.
Good location for safari
Much value for money! The pool is small and with broken tiles that gives cuts.
A bit run down - but staff is doing their very best.
Though the address is Tissamaharama we ended up paying 3.000 ekstra for the pick up by Yalas Safari-people because the hotel was too far away.
- Sharon (8/5): Restful location by Lake Tissa. Clean & comfortable accommodation. Not a recommended stay for vegetarians as very l - Restful & quiet location by Lake Tissa. Stayed in the treehouse which was very comfortable. Staff very helpful in arranging safari & giving advice about buses. Unfortunately the quality of the meals needs improving. Also very limited vegetarian options. Myself & other guests travelled 3kms to a nearby restaurant rather than dine in the restaurant.
Pool water greenish colour & needs more frequent cleaning.
- Francesca (10/5): Peaceful and perfect. - We really enjoyed our stay here - the staff were amazing, super friendly and helped us in any way they could. The room was spacious, had a fridge and kettle and was really clean. The shower was warm and the bed was comfortable. The WiFi was also very good.
We sat on the balcony for a few hours watching the sun set and the wildlife and it was so peaceful. The staff also helped us with booking the Yala national park safari and even paid for a tuktuk to the bus station.
Our driver for the Yala safari was brilliant. He shared information on the animals we saw, which he brilliantly spotted and many times we questioned how he saw it! He was very friendly and created a warm environment.
- Chanaka (1/5): Not Worth the Hype – Very Disappointed - Only staff Stay was quite disappointed with the experience, especially with the tree house accommodation. The tree houses are not recommended – they were full of insects, lacked space, and clearly needed better maintenance. Hygiene was questionable, which made the stay uncomfortable.
To make matters worse, the AC broke down on the first night and we had to move rooms – a major inconvenience. The pool was smelly and uninviting, with stray dogs roaming around the area, which made it feel poorly maintained and unhygienic.
Overall, this place really needs to improve in terms of cleanliness, maintenance, and guest comfort. Would not return or recommend to others unless major improvements are made.
- Saskia (9/5): Superb - Nice location, nice pool
- Dave (9/5): Good spot comfortable and nearby Yala - Kindness of the people really helpful with booking safari and taxi. The rooms were really comfortable and a very good location. Nothing
- Srikantha (8/5): Very good - Location. Calm and quite
- Natalie (10/5): unbelievable value - we moved here from another property which was not good and we're so surprised by how beautiful and quiet the setting was, the room s big and very comfortable, a great pool overlooking the lake with a huge amount of wildlife on lovely restaurant. staff were effortless at helping and as always in sri lanka very happy. Unbelievably cheap priced rooms for a massively good value stay!
- Evelyn (8/5): Very good -
- Rehan (10/5): Exceptional - Resort was womderful. We enjoyed the pool and lovely people with delicious food..
- Peter (8/5): Very good - Beautiful location, elephant bathing in the lake. 45 minute drive from the National Park.
- Helaina (7/5): Good -
- Linda (9/5): Stunnng overlooking the lake - The staff were very good nothing was too much trouble. The setting was stunning so a little isolated, food was good As last minute booking a lot of steps up to our tree house but we managed ( staff prepared to bring up breakfast if requested)
- Edward (9/5): Very relaxing and perfect for Yala - The location was great for our safari in Yala which the hotel organised, it was very easy and great value for money.
The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, with Sumilya helping us sort our dodgy Tuktuk out.
The food at the restaurant was good too, perfect place to stay for a Yala safari.
- Lisa (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kevin (10/5): A perfect getaway and safari. - Our room was fronting the lake. We saw many colourful birds, a crocodile, an eagle and some buffalos - it was very impressive (don't worry there is a fence between the lake and the hotel)!
Loved the staff who were extremely friendly from the welcoming drink, food serving, to driving us all the way to Ella (I would definitely recommend using their taxi service as we also had optional stops to see a dam, drink coconuts and visit a famous waterfall)!
Safari was excellent. We booked a private tour with them and our guide (Nipona) was helpful passionate and very knowledgeable. Saw lots of animals and ... (solely thanks to Nipona's tracking and knowledge of the deer's alarm call) we spotted a leopard ! I'm sure you could get cheaper tours elsewhere but this was well worth the price and glad we went with them! Can too much food be a problem? Portion sizes for the rice and noodles are very generous!
Good to wear a jumper for the 4.30 am start to the safari.
- Drishi (8/5): Very good - Everything was great! I do wish the restaurant had more vegetarian and vegan options. Will book again if visiting
- William (7/5): Good -
- Jelte (7/5): Good - Pool and space were great. Behind on maintenance, '
If you do your loundry here, they throw everything in the dryer....
- Michele (9/5): Superb -
- Alice (9/5): Superb - The place was nice, the room was also nice, could be a little be cleaner but was ok for us.
The pool was enjoyable. Nothing bad to say about the place
- Mikkel (9/5): Superb -
- Abdul (6/5): Pleasant -
- Sathsara (10/5): Exceptional -
- Daniel (10/5): Incredible accomodation - This property was perfect, we turned up in the early afternoon and the staff there were able to organise a safari that afternoon for us on about 20mins notice. The rooms were very spacious and the pool with the view of the lake is incredible. We were also staying here the day that Sri Lanka lost power and we didn’t notice as the resort had the generators running the whole time. This place would be a bargain at twice the price It was perfect
- Madushan (10/5): The room was very new ,clean and had everything we needed.the staff were so attentive and helpful. -
- Alice (10/5): Exceptional - Had a brilliant stay at Lake Villa Resort. A beautiful location, great food, fabulous room and amazing experience. They were very attentive and helpful. We organised a safari through them and also they organised transport to our next destination. Would highly recommend
- Nicholas (9/5): Fantastic nature haven to see whilst relaxing in the pool - Wonderful and helpful staff, delicious food good size portions and variety. Views of the lagoon and so much wildlife. We did 2 safaris arranged by the hotel, yala national park and bundala bird safari, both very enjoyable. A little disappointed the treehouse room we booked didn't have a view of the lagoon but the room was excellent, comfortable and clean. And you can see the lagoon from the pool, restaurant and garden.
- Yusuf (8/5): Very good -
- Stephen (5/5): Good base for safari trips but check carefully the details of your accommodation - The property was in the area we wanted to be, although isolated; the setting beside a lake was pleasant; the swimming pool was good; the manager was helpful and took our concerns seriously; and one meal of rice and curries was very good. We had not appreciated that our "superior villa" was in fact a tree house up 20 steps. We had to take care to negotiate them. There were no instructions on how the shower worked - we had to get someone to show us as it was not obvious. Quality of the food was variable. Property is quite isolated so you need a car or to take taxis to get anywhere.
- Robert (9/5): Great resort in good location for Yala and Bundala parks. - Warm welcome, and friendly, helpful staff. Took care of our park visits. Unique accommodation in the tree house made our visit memorable. Amazing location by the lake. Lo ely pool area. Can highly recommend.
- Caroline (7/5): Basic local hotel with great staff team. - Basic accommodation. Staff went out of their way to provide a cake for a family birthday celebration and were friendly and helpful. Nice food at the restaurant and close to safari experience. We were a family group of six adults. We had four different rooms and everyone had a slightly different experience but overall we had a good time here. Expect the usual Luke warm / cold showers as some of the rooms are on solar so if there’s no sun the waters cold.
- Kosala (10/5): Relaxing day. - I enjoyed a two day stay due to a wedding weekend. Accommodation was good, staff were friendly and helpful? Nothing to complain about.
- Lynda (9/5): An idyllic oasis where we could feel relaxed and re energised. Everyone, including the guests and all staff, were super - It was a beautiful, serene setting, and the building designs were clever and fun. The staff were so helpful and diligent and our meals were excellent. Not too far to Yala Safari, and the pool was clean and so refreshing. Sometimes no warm water, but this was not very important.
- Jana (8/5): Wirawila lake resort villa house room. - Villa house room close to Wirawila lake. Good breakfast and nice restaurant for dinner.
- Gavin (9/5): Great great option for Yala - Great location on lake with nice pool and excellent staff. Amazing to have elephants and buffalo walking past on lake front
- Stephanie (10/5): Exceptional - I loved the staff and I really liked how easy they made it to book the safari tour. They were so helpful and very kind. The property was right on a lake which was the perfect backdrop
- James (5/5): Passable - The staff was attentive and friendly. They helped book a car to our next destination and the driver was very sweet. Cockroaches, room is very old, furniture and equipment (a/c) are tired, pool has only room for 3 sets of guests, location is far from everything.
- Loc (10/5): A relaxing oasis after a safari - Clean, AC rooms. Friendly staff. Good restaurant that serves beer. Nice pool. You can see peacocks, buffaloes at the resort or nearby. A little bit secluded but the resort felt like a little oasis in the middle of nowhere.
- Rienzie (7/5): Good -
- Rita (10/5): Had a great stay - The beautiful peaceful setting was great. The staff were very helpful.
We chose this place to go on a safari in Yala National Park and we enjoyed it. From this area doing safari is quite easy. Nothing as such.
- Marina (10/5): Amazing view - The staff was super friendly and was there to help in any situation. This accomodation is perfect if you want to relax and enjoy a very nice view. I can highly recomend this accomodation.
- Gopi0zg (5/5): Passable -
- Sumenta (7/5): Pretty place nice people - It's a nice place but it's away from everything so once you get there you're kind of stuck there. So basically you have to eat at their restaurant which was ok but there's nothing else nearby. The staff was very helpful they booked our safari and our taxi to nearby places. The stone house was nice and spacious but the tree houses are very small and no space to walk around in the room. So if you want a big spacious room book the stone houses not the tree house. Lots of walking space and garden and pool was nice. It does overlook the lake but lake is not so grand it's OK. But overall place was nice. The tree house. Was really small. Also the place could use a little maintainance bit run down but otherwise all ok. Anyway we were there for the safari which was nice. So short stay it's fine.
- Yara (10/5): Amazing place - Everything was perfect nothing
- Jayde (10/5): AMAZING. Book it! - what a beautiful place! The staff can’t do enough for you, facilities was amazing, they sorted yala safari for me even with such short notice. Ishan also arranged a boat safari on the lake the next morning. Couldn’t recommend this place enough! So much wildlife, turtles, birds, lizards and amazing pool! I would recommend bringing cash for the tour and hotel if you can, if not they do accept card at the hotel for a small charge.
- Noa (10/5): Exceptional -
- Thakshila (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect
- Josh (10/5): Your own personal castle. - This place was stunning. The stone room lofted over a lake made it feel like we had our own personal castle. The staff were so attentive and helpful, even offering to take photos for us. The room was spotlessly clean and felt so luxurious. We absolutely loved our stay here and wish we had longer. Nothing!
- Sachin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Amarasinghe (10/5): Exceptional -
- Reynold (9/5): Great service, kind people. Joyful stay. - Very nice location, near the lake. Nice pool with lake view. Very much nature, far away from the traffic fumes. Many birds, and squirrels. Lovely place.
- Chamika (7/5): worthy for the price - price food was expensive
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional - Exellent Stay in Tissamaharama. Nice and very quite place. Clean room and nice view of the lake. They also have the nice pool. We get the dinner it was super. They packed our breakfast our next day morning .after the safari they arranged the taxi for us very reasonable price.everything was perfect .

- Tom (10/5): Exceptional - We stay here for one night it was really nice place. Very nice and clean room. Very nice pool with lake view. Staff is very helpful . They arranged the nice safari tour for us. Everything perfect Nothing
- Husain (7/5): Good -
- Hasitha (10/5): Wonderful Stay with Excellent Service and Beautiful Surroundings - I stayed at Lake Villa Resort from 4th to 7th of July and it was a great experience. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. They even arranged a Yala safari for a very affordable price.
The room was spacious and impeccably clean. We particularly enjoyed our time by the pool, which offered stunning views of the lake. The nights were peaceful and quiet, and with minimal light pollution, we were able to see an impressive display of stars.
Overall, Lake Villa Resort exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.
- Rahul (10/5): Exceptional -
- Chamath (8/5): Very good - Breakfast is so delicious.
- Olivia (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice view of the lake .nice and clean pool . They organized the safari tour for us it is super experience for us.prices was very reasonable .

- Richard (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jimmy (10/5): Exellent Safari - We stayed Lake villa resort before the our Safari tour of Yala.very comfortable and very clean room.they staff is very friendly and very good safari organized by the hotel.they pickup us from ella by taxi very reasonable prices and next day after the safari they dropped us our next destination ..Everything was Very Good. Highly reccomended ..
- Drean (10/5): Nice Stay Before Safari - Nice and clean room with lake view. Delicious food. Staff is very friendly and they also have the grate safari tours in yala. We saw lot of animals including leopard ..everything was super
- Nilanga (10/5): Exceptional - The place is really nice and very friendly staff and helpfull.
- Peter (1/5): Bad - Be Careful the Workers Rip of Money when they
Take your luggage into your Room.
There were Many friendly workers and our stay was nice but they stole 50€ out of our Wallets at some point.
I only Give This Review Because there was also another couple i met who dealt with the Same Problem on Their stay. Be careful.
- Tim (6/5): Beautiful location but a little out of the way. - Great quiet location on the lake , beautiful sounds of nature A bit far from restaurants and facilities were a bit lacking .
- Sriprakash (10/5): Exceptional - Next to the lake, beautiful location, nice people NA
- Hands (10/5): Beautiful setting, perfect for bird watchers and families. - Such a beautiful setting, surrounded by wildlife, big gardens filled with mango trees. There was a peacock in the garden and a number of monitor lizards and just outside the fence there were buffalo passing by.
The staff were really flexible in making off menu food for my two young vegetarian children and we felt really well looked after. We tended to order our next meal a couple of hours in advance so that it would be ready in time and they were very accommodating of this. The hotel has seen better days so if you want everything to be pristine it’s not the place for you but honestly it really didn’t matter to us. Beautiful setting, lovely stay.
- Georgina (9/5): Very helpful staff and beautiful location - Firefly’s at night. Fantastic view of the lake in upstairs balcony, comfortable beds, good food. Poolside relaxing. Terrific bird and animal life. Sunimal organised pick up from Mirissa, and transport to Udawalawe. Very close to Bundala NP and 40 mins to Yala. Good spot for going to both Parks. Every thing was good
- Adria (6/5): Good resort but be careful with cockroaches - The environment is pleasant and cozy, with the rooms distributed in small buildings along the grounds. The pool with the lake behind it is great, although the water was too hot. The staff is attentive and helped us answer our questions What we did not like and hence our note is we found many cockroaches in our room number 104 (3 in the bathroom, one on the wall of the room and another in our backpack), which did not let us rest in peace and we were quite uncomfortable. We knew we were surrounded by nature and animals, but there have to be some hygienic minimums so that this does not happen in a resort like this. Add that the air conditioning worked at maximum power and could not be changed. There are no windows, there are only blinds, so if you open them to get light, all kinds of insects and other animals come in.
- Ananda (4/5): Disappointing -
- Don (9/5): Superb -
- Tina (9/5): Beautiful lake front staying a treehouse - The staff were very attentive and helpful . They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed.
Having the lake in the front was beautiful
The treehouses were very cool
The pool was great to cool down at the end of a hot day out in safari
