The staff at Hotel River Front is 100% the reason you should stay here! They arranged our transport from Mirissa, and to Ella. Booked our safari and sent us with a packed breakfast. We ate dinner at the restaurant at the hotel and it was so good and affordable too! Their safari driver was great, we saw 2 bears and 2 leopards along with elephants and everything else we'd hoped to see. This is a perfect place to stay to safari in Yala.

We had the best stay at Black Panther! Nalin is the kindest person ever and so helpful with everything! He took us around and spotted some super nice birds. He was really knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information about them. He also helped with organizing a safari to Yala where we had a great time :) Also the rest of the family is so nice and the dinner we had was absolutely delicious, one of the best we had so far! The rooms are further really spacious and clean, felt really comfortable! We will definitely come back!

Beautiful place, well maintained grounds. Comfortable lakefront homes with a lovely porch with a beautiful view of the lake. Very caring and attentive host and staff. The breakfast is superb, the most delicious coconut pancakes. We also ordered dinner which was served to us on the veranda, the food was great and so was the service. I recommend this place!

If you are looking for place where you will feel like home away, this is it! This family is incredible, and I honestly wish more people would be like them. On top of that food is great (they provided fully vegan breakfast for me), room is huge and super clean. Don't think twice stay here.

We stayed in Lavander Home for 2 nights December 30 th and New Years Eve 2024! The place is simply amazing. The house, is totally renewed with great taste and colours that fits very well with the environment. The terrace on the first floor in front of our room door was fantastic and overlooking a large red rice field housed by herons and other beautiful birds. The room was very clean with a large bathroom, nice shower, kettle, hairdryer and free bottle of water provided. The lady that runs the place is really something: always kind, smiling and keen on customer’s need. She provided us laundry service and last but not least she cooked for us our New Years Eve dinner! Everything was very good! Staying in Lavender House in Tissamaharama was really a great and enjoyable experience! A real taste of Sri Lankan hospitality. We highly recommend this place! Again many thanks to the sweet and fantastic lady that runs it!

    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.

    Was in Tissamaharama for Yala Safari, had booked the early morning Safari. Disappointed with the Safari as there were very few animals except.for.peacocks and spotted dear. Later into the ride our jeep driver and guide revealed we had entered through block 5 of the Safari and most the animals(Leopard, Bears) mostly are sighted in block 1 and 2. Block 1 and 2 were closed that day, maybe just our luck. So I guess check, with the Safari organizer before booking your safari as it quite expensive. Basically disappointed ☹️

    We had one of our best stays of our whole trip in Sri Lanka here. The owner was so kind and helpful. He drove us around to see birds and bats in the local area, which is a protected wildlife park. He even drove us into town to get food and offered to take us to the bus station on our last day. The room we stayed in was clean and spacious, with AC. The breakfast was delicious. We booked our Yala safari through the hotel, and this was awesome. If you're coming to Tissamaharama for the safari (or not), I definitely recommend staying here!

    The room was very clean, and air-conditioning was working very well. The staff was super friendly. The reception guy was very kind and helpful in every way. He accommodated all our needs. The food was the best in town, the potions were much bigger and cheaper! All the staff was very supportive and accommodating. The hotel is located in the center of Tissamaharama town which is very convenient. Highly recommend! Worth the price!
