I had a great stay. The room is spacious, clean and quiet. There is a balcony to enjoy nature and reading. The internet is working well. The family is so helpful and always available. They organized the safari for me and brought me to a restaurant and the bus station. I can definitely recommend this place.

Located just 2.5 km from Tissa Wewa, Blue Birds Tissa & Yala safari provides accommodation in Tissamaharama with access to a garden, a terrace, as well as a 24-hour front desk.

The accommodation was perfectly clean, comfortable, spacious and very pleasant. Wifi working, A/C working. Breakfast was excellent and generous – we looked forward to it every morning(stayed 2 nights). The host provided a safari for us, which was very well organized and of excellent quality. He also took us on an evening drive around the lakes and birdwatching, which was a beautiful and memorable experience. He was very friendly, helpful, and always ready with great advice. Overall, excellent value for money. We highly recommend this place!

Our best stay in Sri Lanka! Little paradise surrounded by lake with birds singing, wild animals and beautiful flowers.

Amazing view and wonderful location. Place is very calm, chill and relaxing atmosphere. Easy to arrange tuk tuk to reach the town. I totally recommend this place to stay while you are here :)

Featuring river views, JAMI River Side Hotel & Yala Safari Place provides accommodation with patio, around 2.1 km from Tissa Wewa.

This hotel was an absolute gem! The lovely family running it were very knowledgable and had provided everything we wanted from our stay. The safari was incredible. We saw an amazing variety of animals, including elephants, elk, white spotted deer, crocodiles, 3 leopards (even a black leopard!), buffalo, peacocks, iguanas, eagles, a multitude of birds, and white monkeys. The half-day safari was more than enough time to see everything we wanted, although I would say we got lucky. The entire property was spotless, and the staff were incredibly hospitable. They even woke us up with coffee in the morning and gave us smoothies when we arrived! Our room was immaculate, and they even helped us arrange our travel for the following day. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Amazing tree house over looking rice paddies. A really nice place to relax. Room and bed are large and comfortable. The family who runs this are really nice.

Situated in Tissamaharama, 6.6 km from Tissa Wewa and 24 km from Bundala Bird Sanctuary, Lake Near Yala offers a garden and air conditioning.

Nice clean rooms. The location was not what we expected, not walking distance to anything and felt very isolated because there's only two rooms at this accomodation so there was no atmosphere at all. The walkway down to our room from the road was also very dark and a bit difficult to navigate through a garden. The owner charged us for the water he gave us alongside the breakfast that was included but didn't tell us it would cost extra until the end. His English wasn't very good so it made it difficult to organize things with him.

    That was absolutely perfect stay! The hosts are amazing family with big heart. The room was super clean and comfortable. The lake view was amazing. The owner showed us the village and helped us with safari. I highly recommend homeade dinner and lunch. The noodles was the best on sri lanka. I leave my shoes at home stay and the owner helped me a lot and delivered the shoes to my next destination. Thank you for everything! I hope that we back for longer time. One night here is not enough. You can feel like at home!

    A beautiful homestay, and nothing was too hard to ask for. The owner was very helpful with booking the safari and even gave us a free tour around the nearby lake, where we saw crocodiles, water buffalo and lots of birds. We also went out looking for owls after dark. The room was clean and the food was great. All in all a great stay.

    Excellent price-quality homestay! Big clean room, AC perfectly working. The staff is awesome, there’s not much restaurants nearby (if any) but that’s not a problem as you can have breakfast, lunch and dinner in here for a really good price (and good food as well). We booked the Full Day Safari with them and it was perfect, guide knew what he was doing, and we always had enough food and water! 100% recommended!!
