Wonderful stay at lake view. Peaceful location and great staff. Sorted out our safari trip with a great guide. Made us tea and breakfast early in the morning to take on the safari with us. Would definitely recommend.

At the rate I paid I was expecting something very basic, but this place has large new rooms with flatscreen TV and A/C and very nice bathrooms. It's very remote, but that doesn't really matter because almost everyone books in Tissa for one night to go on a safari into Yala the following morning. The food is quite good even... More

I traveled as a single female traveler, and felt safe for my entire stay up until the end. There are only men around, and I didn't like that seeing as it's so remote. But at the end, one of the employees knowing that I had a cold said I should get an ayurvedic massage. Then, without asking me, he came... More

Indika and his small friendly team runs a great operation of assisting guests with various trips, keeping the place clean, and cooking up some delicious food. The place is on the shore of Tissa lake and you can see a variety of interesting birds and other wildlife even without leaving the premises! You can also borrow bicycles to explore the... More

We'd heard that Yala was the best safari outside of Africa, so were stoked when we came across these guys. Six of us travelled to Tissa and checked in here in the pouring rain. The rooms were massive and clean with the added bonus of some sort of satellite TV to kill a few rainy hours. Dinner and breakfast were... More
