Very nice place, convenient for Yala Safari

We enjoyed our stay in the hotel. Rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. Very helpful and friendly Staff - they prepared breakfest boxes for us as we needed to leave for safari very early in the morning. Good restaurants at fair prices. I can definitely recommend this place - great value for money.

Needs investment and to make sure it's key facilities are ready for guests.

The staff tried their best. Although it seemed a constant surprise to them they had guests. The ops manager was very friendly. Shower was good and hot.

Comfortable spacious room and very attentive staff

Room was spacious and clean. Pool was great after a long walk. Meals were tasty and good portion sizes. Staff were extremely helpful and attentive, especially Kavindi and the young man who walked us to the bus stop and helped us get on the right bus to our next destination.

Hotel with potential but does need some improvements.

Staff were very friendly upon arrival and gave us a watermelon juice. Staff gave us a nice room with a balcony and it was very clean and comfortable air-con worked well.

Affordable budget option for Yala Safari.

All staff were extremely helpful and accommodating, especially with regards to food for our fussy children. Our family room was very comfortable and spacious. Food was pretty good and delicious. All in all, a very good value hotel, that's a good option as a base for the Yala safari.

Simple accomodation that can be easily improved by a little better hygiene in bathroom and working shower

Location, close to Yala entrance

Great host. He helped with some currency exchange (I did not got enough from the airport), arranged a good (and cheap) dinner on the new year's eve when everything around was closed, helped with a tuk tuk. Was very attentive and kind. Room was also better than I expected. AC worked fine, the window blinds worked perfectly.

We had a really comfortable stay at this hotel. In the evening, we had a nice chat with the hotel manager, who shared some insights about the significance of Tissamaharama with us. The staff here is also very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend staying here.

The rooms are really roomy and comfortable. The hotel's surroundings are absolutely stunning, offering a picturesque backdrop for your stay. Each room even has its own small private terrace, which was a lovely spot to relax and enjoy some quiet moments outdoors. We definitely made the most of it during our stay!

We had a wonderful time at the pool, spending around two hours splashing around. It's a pretty spacious pool, which was nice. The food at the hotel was delicious, and we enjoyed every bite. Additionally, the hotel staff went above and beyond by arranging an adventure safari for us, which was an exciting addition to our trip.
