I had the best stay here!!! The host was extreamly sweet and helpsom person! Making sure that you didn’t need anything. Very generous and good breakfast and dinner. Excelent location. Short walk to the town and right next to Tissa lake and fruit bat wiew point. I got safari organised by the place and it was beyond any expectations. I saw every possible animal the park has including leopard. And planty of elephants. I give the highest caracter and recomend it for a stay you will not be dissapointed about.

Priyankara is simply the best host! He told us how to get to Tissa from Arugam Bay, picked us up at the bus station, and gave us a bird-watching tour with the most stunning sunset. The room was spacious, cool, and comfortable. He organized a Yala safari for us and made Tissa and Yala National Park an unforgettable experience. If you go to Tissa, you must stay here!

We liked the location next to the lake and the huge amount of wildlife we could enjoy watching while sitting on the balcony or in the beautifully kept garden. The host family are extremely welcoming and we felt well looked after with suggestions on things to do and help arranging tuktuks etc. The home cooking was perhaps the best we have had in Sri Lanka and generous in proportion (1 dish will easily serve 2+) and well priced. We enjoyed a local specialty, buffalo curd with treacle see photos), amongst other dishes. The location is a little out of the city but we liked that it was quiet, peaceful and offered the lake view, the room itself is basic but what you need - think of it as glamping and the rustic nature part of the wildlife aesthetic.

The place is beautifully located in a rice paddy. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The hosts were kind, helpful and lovely (x10). We found the home cooked meals (breakfast and dinner) better than what the restaurants in town could offer. We booked our Yala safari through them and everything went smoothly. I can not speak highly enough of the place and the owners.

Everything. The staff are so friendly and accomodating, they will help book a great safari tour. The accomodation was so comfortable and clean and everything in great condition. The location is close enough to walk to town but far away enough it is serene. The breakfast is just phenomenal.

A lovely, private cabin overlooking rice paddies. The room is spacious, the internet fast and it has a TV. The owner has a great safari connection - Ishuru Day Safari Tours- and the room has a great handwritten recommendation book. We loved it here.

The Yala Hideaway was our base for safari. Ruwan and her family were so thoughtful and quick to respond to our requests. We were given an early morning breakfast for our Safari and were then given mango juice when we returned. The room was spotless and the aircon worked well. We would definitely stay again, especially considering the fantastic price.
