Guest Reviews

• Nina (10/5): perfect! - Super friendly host who happily organized everything for us, from the safari to our onward trip. The breakfast was amazing and the garden is absolutely incredible. Can only recommend this place!
• Caroll (10/5): - Hermoso lugar y las cabañas están excelentes. El desayuno es exquisito y los anfitriones muy muy amables
• Moreau.Mh (10/5): - Au calme, à 7 min à pieds des premiers restaurants , ce jardin très bien entretenu avec ses 2 cabanes est parfait. Petite terrasse tranquille devant pour observer les varans qui passent. L'hôte a permis que l'on arrive un peu plus tôt pour se reposer . Très arrangeant. En prévision du safari matinal, il sera au rdv pr un petit déjeuner à emporter rassasiant. Possibilité de prendre notre douche à 12h après le safari avant de quitter le logement. C'est fort agréable . Merci encore
• bertrand (10/5): Très bien - Tout était très bien. Propriétaire très sympa. Chambre propre, eau chaude, petit dej bon
• Sam (10/5): Great host and very relaxing stay - The host was incredibly friendly and helped us organise both our safari and transport for the next part of our journey. The cabanas are cool and comfortable, set within a beautiful garden full of wildlife we saw a mongoose and monitor lizards. Breakfast was relaxing, served out on the cabana terrace, which made for a lovely start to the day. The full-day safari that was organized for us was excellent. We were lucky enough to see a leopard, elephants, and a bear. Our host also woke up at 4 a.m. to see us off for the safari, which was above and beyond what we would normally expect The whole place had a good vibe.
• Stefanie (10/5): - Der Inhaber ist äusserst herzlich und hilfsbereit. Er hat uns die Safari sowie die Weiterfahrt organisiert. Das Frühstück ist sehr gut. Besonders hat uns gefallen das es nur 2 Häuschen sind mit viel Natur rundherum. Alles ist gepflegt und sauber. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.
• Stefan (9/5): - Wir wurden mit einem erfrischenden Melonensaft begrüßt. Die Cabana ist inmitten eines wunderschönen Gartens, in dem Warane, Pfauen und viele Vögel zu bestaunen sind. Das Frühstück war sehr gut, insbesondere der Kaffe war stark. Gayan war unglaublich freundlich und hilfsbereit. Er hat eine Safari in den Yala Nationalpark organisiert und uns ein leckeres Lunchpaket mitgegeben, das wir eigentlich gar nicht benötigt hätten, weil die Verpflegung bereits inklusive war. Wir haben zwei Leoparden (ein Jungtier und ein ausgewachsenes Exemplar), Elefanten, Krokodile, Büffel, Adler und andere Greifvögel (darunter eine Eule) sowie sehr viele Vögel (u.a. Kingfisher) aus nächster Nähe gesehen. Von der erlebnisreichen Safari zurückgekommen, hatte Gayan auf auf unseren Wunsch ein kühles Lion-Bier besorgt. Ein wirklich toller Abschluss. Für die Weiterfahrt am nächsten Morgen hat Gayan auch noch einen Fahrer organisiert. Die Preise für die Safari und den Transport nach Mirissa waren ausgesprochen fair. Die Unterkunft ist uneingeschränkt empfehlenswert.
• Sarah (9/5): Perfect place to stay before Yala Safari - Nice place with very welcoming hostst that eveb prepared breakfast for us to go for our early morning safari.
• Sina (10/5): Perfekter Aufenthalt mit super Gastgeber - Liebevolles und geräumiges Haus mit super guter Ausstattung, alles da was man braucht! Super sauberes und tolles Bad inklusive Dusche mit gutem Wasserdruck :) Außerdem sehr gastfreundlicher, lieber und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber, der uns unsere Safari organisiert hat (inkl. morgens um 4 Frühstücks-Pakete für uns gemacht hat, die super waren!) und uns auch bei der Weiterreise nach Ella unterstützt. Würden immer gerne wiederkommen! -
• B (10/5): A little paradise for nature lovers with all the facilities you need - The outlook was beautiful and peaceful and we loved that land monitors, and mongooses came close by, as well as geckos and birds. The room was lovely and we enjoyed having a fridge there. The ceiling fan didn’t work but we didn’t need it as the air con worked very effectively. Breakfast was served to our patio table and it was very nice - first time I’d had Hopper and I like it! Host was helpful and organised a safari to Bundala Bird National Park and advised us the prices to expect for boat trips on the lake. There were shops and cafes nearby too which we could walk to. And of course it’s not far to Yala National park (where we were lucky enough to see 4 Leopards!)
• Sylvia (10/5): - Der Vermieter ist sehr gastfreundlich und man fühlt sich sehr willkommen. Die Unterkunft liegt sehr ruhig in einem schönen Garten. Alles ist sehr sauber und geräumig. Auch wurde uns vom Vermieter eine Safari organisiert, die sehr gut war und wir hatten einen sehr entspannten und tollen Aufenthalt und können es nur sehr empfehlen hier zu übernachten.
• Harmina (9/5): Heerlijk verblijf met een goed ontbijt en een prachtige vogelexcursie gedaan via Cabanas. - Prachtige cabana in een schitterende tuin. Heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Zeker een aanrader. In de buurt een aantal goede restaurants.
• Lorena (10/5): - Camera pulita . Personale gentilissimo. Colazione nel tuo bungalow
• Sanne (10/5): Goede optie als overnachting voor je Safari naar Yala National Park - De gastheer is enorm vriendelijk en spreekt heel goed Engels. Regelde voor ons een hele leuke Safari. De kamers zijn ruim en schoon.
• Ruth (10/5): - Die Bungalows sind sauber und schön. Der Host war sehr herzlich und hilfsbereit, wir haben uns sehr wohlfühlen können. Danke!
• Anita (10/5): - Przemiła obsługa. Domek czysty, łóżko duże i wygodne. Duża łazienka. Wszystko mi się podobało. Do tego przyjemny ogródek w którym można posiedzieć w ciszy i spokoju. Właściciel organizuje safari. Skorzystaliśmy. Śniadanie dostaliśmy na wynos, później byl też wliczony mały lunch. Super było, ze wymeldowanie było dopiero kiedy wróciliśmy z safari, wzięliśmy prysznic i chwile odpoczęliśmy. Polecam z czystym sercem. Stosunek jakosci do ceny bardzo na plus. Bardzo podobało mi się to miejsce, szkoda że byłam tak krotko. Nic
• Natalia (10/5): Wonderful hospitality - The cabanas are located in a large, beautiful garden close to a small river. It’s a very peaceful and relaxing place — perfect for unwinding and enjoying nature. However, the true value of this place is Mr. Chaminda, who went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. As a solo female traveler, I felt safe and well taken care of. When he noticed that I didn’t go out for dinner, he kindly prepared a meal for me. The next morning, at 4 a.m., he served me tea and prepared a takeaway breakfast before my safari tour. The hospitality exceeded my expectations. I would definitely come back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a warm and caring atmosphere.
• Iryna (9/5): - Birds coming the table, walking around the village and seeing a lots of birds Nothing
• Sander (9/5): -
• Tina (10/5): Absolute Empfehlung! - Ich habe mich hier ab der ersten Sekunde wohl gefühlt. Eine schöne Gartenanlage mit 2 Häuschen. Sehr geräumig, viele Ablageflächen, gute Dusche. Auf der Terrasse kann man schön entspannen und das ein oder andere Tier im Garten beobachten. Frühstück ist sehr lecker. Das Ehepaar, das die Unterkunft führt, ist total nett und sympathisch.
• Julieta (10/5): Estancia maravillosa - Todo. Personal muy amable, nos ofreció todas las comodidades posibles. La cabaña muy espaciosa y limpia. Totalmente recomendable. Me gusto todo.
• Ramazan (8/5): - Evet sahibi yardımcı oldu, Yala national park konusunda kendi tour ları var firma aramanıza gerek yok tavsiye ederim.
• Sonia (9/5): - La pulizia dell’alloggio non ha avuto paragoni con altre sistemazioni in Sri Lanka. L’host è super disponibile, ci ha organizzato un safari all’alba e un taxi per uno spostamento in pochissimo tempo. Consigliatissimo! Niente
• alessio (10/5): - 2 belle casette in mezzo al verde curatissino, sembra di essere in mezzo alla foresta. Il proprietario ci ha organizzato alla perfezione il safari allo Yala park. Il proprietario è gentile. La aria condizionata in camera non funziona molto bene ed è rumorosa.
• Christian (10/5): -
• Dania (9/5): - Het was erg schoon en comfortabel. Hartelijk ontvangen met een drankje. We werden gratis met de tuktuk weggebracht naar een restaurant. Lekker ontbijt, rustige omgeving. Soms wat wifi problemen, verder nergens iets op aan te merken.
• J.H. (9/5): - Sweet cottage with a lovely garden. Room was soacious and very clean. Owner helpt arrange an early morning safari. He made us a breakfast to go, lend us his binoculars made sure we didnt get overcharged. We enjoyed our stay at Tissa.
• Eloi (8/5): -
• Manthan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ciara (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely warm welcome, great dinner recommendation. The safari and packed breakfast were amazing. Thank you so much
• Mila (10/5): Amazing retreat surrounded by wildlife! - I would 100% recommend this property if you are doing yala park. Gayan and Manori were amazing hosts, very friendly and helpful. They even recommended great restaurants in the area. Gayan provided a wonderful trip to yala park and even let us check in early and check out late to fit around our safari tour. He was great at spotting all the wildlife and also an amazing driver. In terms of the property it was very good value for money. It was very well kept, clean and with new facilities (ie bathroom). It’s a beautiful location with wildlife surrounding you. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone visiting Tissamarama. We liked everything.
• Debra (10/5): Exceptional - We greatly enjoyed our stay and safari. The cabins are set back in a lovely garden, but have all modern conveniences inside. The hosts run a very good safari tour and will go out of their way make sure all your needs are taken care of. Breakfast on the patio of the cabin was also a treat. Overall, a great choice.
• Neal (10/5): Great option for an overnight near Yala. - Location for Yala safari. Owner made sure we had a breakfast packed for a very early departure (0430), and allowed us to quickly change and wash up before departing after our safari experience. Best deal I have ever had for a night’s stay. Very clean and roomy and comfortable!
• Victoria (10/5): Exceptional - This place is a real gem. The bungalow is spacious, modern, with cool air conditioning and a fridge. The surroundings are lush and you can sit and watch nature. It was paradise for us. The owners are lovely too, welcoming us with tea. We also booked a safari through them and it was great. They packed us a breakfast to go for the day. Restaurants are also close by. Highly recommend!
• Tobias (10/5): Exceptional - This was one of our best stays so far. The bungalows are in a beutiful garden, which feels like jungle. Its so calm and the host family is super friendly and helpful. The room was clean, nice AC and a good breakfast. We also can highly recommend doing the safari directly them!
• Karkaz (10/5): Exceptional - Totally recommended! Great location, clean, cozy room (also has a fridge - not easy to find in Sri Lanka) and above all, kind, sweet and polite hosts!!!! The landlady woke up eraly in the morning (really early) before our safari just to prepare breakfast so that we have it with us!!! Totally worth staying in Amazon Cabanas!! Everything was amazing
• Peter (10/5): Modern accommodation in an amazing location provided by warm, caring hosts. Highly recommended! - Gayan and Manori are wonderful hosts who provided a delicious breakfast and facilitated an amazing safari. Their cabanas are spacious, clean and comfortable and are set in stunning tropical gardens just a short walk from the main street.
• Gaia (10/5): AWESOME! - Fabulous! Everything was amazing, the room was extremely clean, the bed was super comfy and the hosts were very nice. The garden is super peaceful and quiet. The best place we stayed during our trip in Sri Lanka. Definitely recommended! Nothing
• Samuel (10/5): The perfect Yala stay - We could not have asked for a better Yala stay. The couple who own the property were so welcoming and the safari with the owner was perfect. He was an expert at spotting wildlife we had completely missed and knew how to stay away from the crowds of other jeeps in the park itself. He has 25 years of experience leading tours in Yala and you can really tell he has a deep knowledge of the park and the animals. The property itself is so peaceful with monkeys, peacocks and monitor lizards roaming the grounds. The cottages themselves are spotless and well cared for. Breakfast was also delicious. Everything was perfect!
• Nik-tik (10/5): Small part of heaven - Perfect secluded natural gaarden with two very comfortable bungalows. Very quiet place
• Richard (9/5): Great little place. Very convenient. -
• Maria (9/5): Superb - The homes are very specious, clean and with good air conditioning and even a fridge. The family very nice, they treat us very good It is difficult to reach by foot to the restaurant areas, although close, it a dark road

• Mirena (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean and comfortable place, welcoming owners. Beautiful garden. Good for yala safari, very good restaurant in proximity. The owner offers safari at Yala park - we couldn't taka advantage, because we were already booked one with another company. The prepared us a breakfast to go in 4:30 in the morning and let us relax in the room after thе safari. Totally recommend the place.
• Florian (10/5): Exceptional - This is the best place we have stayed so far in Sri Lanka! The couple who own it are so friendly and helpful. They welcomed us with a delicious passionfruit juice which we could enjoy in the beautiful garden. It’s so peaceful here, and you can see peacocks and varan lizards roaming around. The cabana is really nice and comfortable. The bed is comfy and the AC works. The bathroom was very spacious and everything was clean. There is even a fridge in the room which was handy. We also did our safari through them and Gayan was an amazing and very knowledgeable guide! Breakfast is also great. If we ever return to Sri Lanka we will definitely come back here!

We highly recommend!

We organised a safari with the owner Gayan as our guide, he was so passionate and excited about the animals and was extremely experienced. Such a peaceful and well maintained bungalow too, we wish we could have stayed longer!
• Loraine (10/5): Perfect Location for Rest, Tropical Gardens & Safari - Perfect location off the busy high street. Very quiet, beautiful gardens with plenty of wildlife, birds, peacocks, land monitors, chipmunks. Manori & Gayan were fantastic hosts and able to offer us private Safaris too at additional cost.

The owners are super helpful. They washed our clothes and drive us to the restaurants. The owner is also a super good driver to Yala. I think he is more experienced than many other drivers in the town. We saw many animals with his guide:) None

It had a lovely big bathroom, very comfortable bed and a lovely veranda where we sat enjoying the incredible beauty and peacefulness of their gorgeous garden. The couple were delightful and super helpful and friendly. On our 2nd night we arrived back very tired from a full day safari at Yala National Park. The couple brought us a lovely tray of coffee and home made cake. It's been our favourite place to stay in Sri Lanka and would really highly recommend. Really nothing. It was absolutely lovely!
• Barbara (10/5): Perfect - Its run by the lovely couple who caters to your every need. From arranging tuk tuk to organising Safari with take away breakfast (thank you)! The place they have is a real oasis among those we visited so far, hidden away, quiet, calm and perfect to relax and rest after visiting Yala park. Cabanas are near the river and surrounded by garden which provides a little safari in front of your window: tens of birds, monitor lizards, mongooses and many others. Real gem. Try it!!!

• Carol (10/5): The most delightful hosts - Amazon Cabanas is tucked away in the most peaceful garden. So many birds, squirrels, lizards and butterflies come to visit. A peacock family walk around all day. A nice walk to the main road for good restaurants with friendly staff. A little further walk is the lake. Tuk tuks are easy to find. We took a boat on the lake in the evening and saw bats, birds, fishermen and families swimming. having fun. The room was very good. Big, very clean, excellent bathroom and best of all the outside sitting area. Newly painted, the cabanas are very very nice. We had a delicious breakfast on our terrace every morning. The hosts are the most delightful people. Just gorgeous. This is a very good place to stay.
