With free WiFi, this 4-star hotel offers room service and a 24-hour front desk. The hotel features garden views and a terrace. The food, the people working here, the location and facilities. The room had the comfiest bed, nice coffee, all in the middle of nature with birds and paddy fields. Lovely pool, great breakfast, lunch and dinner. All of the employees were so friendly and attentive. It was only a short drive to Yala for safari. They packed us a nice breakfast for the early start...just remember to hide that breakfast in the jeep cab or the monkeys will take it😁stayed 2 nights, and extra one would've been great!

Situated in Tissamaharama, 2.3 km from Tissa Wewa, Elegant Lake Yala Safari House features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, free shuttle service and room service, along with free WiFi. Guests can have a drink at the snack bar. We booked this property solely based on the reviews about the hosts and I can confidently say that every single comment was true. Randy and his family were really welcoming. He happily showed us around his village in a tuk tuk. He took us out to buy whatever we needed and it was really convenient. Our baby got sick during the stay and Randy made sure our baby got whatever she needed. He also arranged our safaris and packed us breakfast. The next morning, Randy and his family cooked us the best ever breakfast we have ever had in the whole trip. We genuinely felt sad leaving him and his place. Highly recommend this place and Randy.

The mother of the family even sewed up one of my blouses for free. He helped us with our bus ride to Ella and stayed with us for an hour to make sure we got on the right bus.

Located within less than 1 km of Tissa Wewa and 25 km of Bundala Bird Sanctuary in Tissamaharama, Tissa Rainbow Guest & Yala provides accommodation with seating area. It is set 35 km from Situlpawwa and offers a 24-hour front desk. There is a sun terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking. I can't say enough great things about this homestay! They arranged our transfer from Ella and arranged a morning and afternoon safari for us. We were greeted with a delicious cold coconut water, in the coconut. We chose the breakfast and dinner option which makes so much sense because the town is a bit of a walk and after a safari all day (4:30 am to 6:30 pm) it is great to have dinner at the homestay. Both dinners we had were excellent, I think the best food we've had in Sri Lanka! They also pack a breakfast to go on your safari day because of leaving so early. When you wake up they have coffee and bananas for you before leaving. Our room was a great size, ac and hot water worked well. The owners are very kind, friendly and even drove us to the bus stop, stayed with us and made sure we got on the right bus. I highly recommend Tissa Rainbow for your stay while exploring Yala National Park, you won't regret it!

Featuring a garden and views of garden, Mailagama Cinnamon Residence is a recently renovated guest house set in Kataragama, 21 km from Situlpawwa. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. The guest house also offers free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. The people make the place even better. I would love to go back again and stay more nights. You can also buy cinnamon sticks, black pepper etc… direct from their farm… so it’s cheap.
