Wonderful family! Very accommodating, they go out of their way to make you comfortable. Cool treehouse like structure overlooking a gorgeous rice field. They arranged a Safari in Yala Park, drivers, transportation to Ella and drove me to the bank. They also took me to a spot with a bat migration! Very safe, secure spot too. Great host family and space!

Providing garden views, Tissa Rainbow Guest & Yala in Tissamaharama provides accommodations and a garden.

The guesthouse is close by the lake and by foot 10 min to the main road to have some food. The safari as really nice as well, but there is no extra guide if you prefer so. The driver was the guide. We booked the tour through the guesthouse. The room was perfect for a quick stay and the family was really nice and helped with everything. We also just got a juice after our safari from the host.

1.5 miles from Tissa Wewa in Tissamaharama, Blue Birds Tissa & Yala safari provides accommodations with access to beauty services.

Very nice staff and property. Having the hotel be able to book a safari for you is fantastic. According the bus station attendant in Thissa, route 10 buses leave at 7am and 8:10am from Thissa to Ella. The full bus route is from Katharagama to Kandy, which is shown on the bus signage along with its route number. The bus from Thissa to Ella costs 467 Sri Lankan rupees (about usd$1.58 at the time of this post)

The room was very clean, and the host's hospitality was incredible—super friendly and attentive. She arranged a tour for us for 18,000 LKR, offered us tea in the morning before we left, and kindly assisted and guided us to our next destination. Without a doubt, highly recommended! The bathroom was also clean, and the room was spotless.

    Beautiful location, close to two of the lakes. We had a lovely stroll in the afternoon and early evening to go watch the fruit bats and birds. A/C worked well. Very friendly hosts. The guesthouse is cheap compared to others in the area; dinner was also cheap.

    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.

    Great hosts great food. Local Host organised safari much cheaper than anywhere else. Still about 45 minutes to national park. But very knowledgeable with lots of experience. Comfortable safari truck. The property is beautiful set in thick green surrounds. Room is large bed is comfy. Ac not very good with no fan meant it stayed a little stuffy inside

    Wow our host was the best! He was so incredibly helpful. Fixed the aircon right away, helped us with repairs on the tuktuk and brought us cool drinks and coffee exactly when we needed it😁. The rooms are big and comfortable, with a large bed. Nice shower, quiet location. Lastly we booked an amazing safari in the National Park @ the guesthouse. Couldn't be more satisfied with this accommodation!

    Indika is a very charming host and also a great chef. We had dinner twice and enjoyed both times. The room is as shown in online photos with a big comfortable bed. When the restaurant/reception area is completed it will only enhance the experience. Indika organised our Yala Safari, the bus to Colombo and even drove us to the bus stand in his tuk tuk. We wish he and his family all the best for his dream boutique hotel.

    Absolutely amazing hosts - really helpful! We were greeted on arrival by a cold king coconut to drink and a cold washcloth, fresh fruits were brought to us during our stay and we booked a great safari through them. The room is a nice size and clean. The accommodation is really pretty, surrounded by plants, and a great location near some local restaurants and an area where fruit bats live. You can see thousands of them nesting in the trees. Wifi is good and bed is large.
