Our stay was really perfect. The hotel was one of the cleanest we had in Sri Lanka, the pool is awesome and invites for relaxed hours. The room and its equipment was also impeccable. We spontaneously prolonged our stay for one more night because we just loved it. Tharindu and the rest of the staff were super attentive and fulfilled every wish. The restaurant was also yummy and the prices were reasonable. They even gave us a free bottle of water for the onward journey. The organization of the full day safari was easy and we got to see elephants and leopards with our guide Dinuka. The guide was also very good as he was very experienced (one time he predicted the exact point of a leopard crossing the road). All in all: If we ever come back to Tissimaharama, we will definitely stay there again!

Lovely spot to relax on the terrace after a hot day, we had a really good night's sleep and the most delicious rice and curry. It's a good starting point for a safari and you'll get all the help you need from here. The staff is super friendly and helpful!

Incredible host who took os out on a really nice evening tour! He arranged the safari for us the next day where we saw a leopard and elephant! He helped us get transportation to Mirissa as well the next day for a really good price! The view was beautiful and food was good. The location was a bit remote but really nice if you’re doing a safari. Can’t recommend enough:)

I feel very lucky to stay at Nalin’s place. I highly recommend it! It was the best place during my trip. The room was very clean, the mattress was comfortable. We got 5 star service here. Nalin was very kind and nice, prepared everything I asked for, hot water for shower, fruit and blanket. He also brought us to see sunrise, visit 4 beautiful lakes and local temples, and introduced birds. He has very rich bird knowledge. We even saw swimming crocodile in a lake! His wife cooks so well! We had super delicious homemade dinner. I really love it! Nalin also helped us book a safari, and we saw leopard, bear, and many other animals.

We would like to say once again a HUGE thank you to Randy and his family. We felt like home. You will never regret choosing Elegant Lake House for your stay. Randy is the most amazing host we had during our stay in Sri Lanka. He gave us a tour around the village, shared his knowledge about birds and animals , showed his garden with some fruits tasting, arranged the safari tour and the taxi to our next destination. You will also have a chance to go to the temple not far from the place . You will get to try some new juices (at least for us it was something we've never tried) They provided us with two bicycles that we were using to move around. He also offered to give us a ride to dinner places. We had such an enjoyable stay at Elegant Lake House. Thank you very much !!!

It should be on everyone’s itinerary!

It should be on everyone’s itinerary! The safari was amazing- go for the all day! And Jami Riverside Hotel is run by a wonderful host couple and the accommodations were comfortable, clean and affordable. They will make all the safari arrangements with the park for you if you wish. We had a wonderful driver -PHN Kasun Sampath.

Tissamaharama is a fantastic base for anyone looking to explore the natural beauty and rich culture of southern Sri Lanka. It's perfectly located for Yala National Park safaris, offering easy access to incredible wildlife encounters. Beyond the safaris, the town itself has a calm, local vibe with beautiful lakes and ancient temples to discover. You'll find plenty of local restaurants and shops, making it easy to enjoy authentic Sri Lankan experiences. It's a great spot for both adventure and relaxation, and I highly recommend spending some time here!

The owner of Serenity lake advices us to visit Yala safari, Sithul pawwa magul viharaya and sithul pawwa a super history with beautiful scenery, which we did and we're very grateful for his advice. We returned to the serenity lake to have lunch before heading off. Requested for a village kind of lunch with the local veggies and it was served on a lotus leaf... The most delicious meal it was. We had lunch at Reds and at the Serenity lake .

The location is excellent and the resort is real value for money . The food was excellent . The rooms were nice . The toiletries in the bathrooms needs to improve . The bathroom needs exhaust fans as it can get quite stuffy . The resort manager Mr Upal is a nice friendly bloke and is exceptional in his service . Overall a very pleasant experience .

This is a great location to stay if you want to visit the national parks and My Village will organise safaris to the four parks in the area either a half or full day. The local town is not a tourist town but it's great to wander around looking in the local shops.

A fabulous place to stay if visiting Yala or Bundala National Parks. Very quiet but near lots of restaurants and shopping. Rooms were very clean and pool was very good. Amazingly cheap accommodation for what you get. Shantha and the rest of the staff were amazing. They organized our tours and transportation to our next destination for a great price. Breakfast was the best we have had in Sri Lanka and was huge. We could never eat it all. I recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Tissamaharama or Yala.

This is the best place I found in Sri Lanka as a resort. Situated between a beautiful paddy field and a village with a calm nature. The hotel view was just wowww. Sri Lankan rice and curry of this resort was perfect 😍😍 We got a clean room with a clean bathroom. The hotel staff is very kind & helpful. Owner arranged us a Yala Safari tour and it was also very nice. We were lucky to see the all animals. In conclusion, all the things were perfect. Thank you for your great hospitality. Ayubowan!! 🇱🇰❤️

Clean comfortable rooms with an incredible view of the lake. The family who run the hotel were the most kind, generous and caring hosts we have met in Sri Lanka! They treated us and our baby like family and we wish we could have stayed longer! It was great to have so much wildlife on the doorstep of the hotel-we saw more animals on the lake tour from the hotel than in Yala, at a fraction of the cost! A wonderful place to stay.
