Lovely stay
Wonderful friendly service and comfortable rooms. A la carte menu was good but the buffet was not quite so. Loved having a beautiful flower given to us each evening and asking if everything was ok.

I had an excellent stay here. The place was clean, the buffets for breakfast, lunch and dinner were amazing! But the biggest thing was the staff were all so helpful and friendly - the best hotel staff I’ve encountered Even my mother who usually complains about everything said she wanted to come back and stay there.

Hotel room had bugs on both days. The towels seemed very old and were rough. Good breakfast.

Great place!
This was the most professional stay of my trip. The buffet breakfast and dinner was ample and tasty enough. The bed needed an extra sheet, but they happily obliged. The setting is beautiful—rice patties, a pond, and many interesting fauna. I would have liked a bit of help with touring the local area as they were not as equipped to arrange and book things as I would have liked (perhaps it was a timing/English issue); otherwise, great place to stay—relaxing, organized, and clean.

A really pleasant and comfortable stay here during our time in the hotel. We didn't spend too much time at the hotel as we were out for a full day in safari and left the next morning but we were pleasantly surprised at the lovely surroundings of the hotel and room. The staff were polite and super accommodating. They kindly provided us with a packed breakfast on our safari early morning. Only con was, considering its a peaceful and calm location, we couldn't make use of the pool as it was overcrowded with local guests and their kids.

Good service but dirty bathroom
We stayed one night before our Trip to Yala, the location is good for that but there is not much else to do in Tissamahara. The hotel decor looks very nice, has a pool and big restaurant. The service when we arrived and at the restaurant was very good. We had dinner there, and we curries chosen from the menu rather than than buffet. The food was quite good, but it was quite expensive for Sri Lanka standard. The hotel room was comfortable but the bathroom doesn’t look like it had been cleaned for a while, and we saw a dead cockroach on the edge of the bath, the water wasn’t draining properly either. As the bathtub was surrounded by a glass panel, may be they didn’t bother cleaning the whole bathtub. It was gross.

Great little hotel while doing your Yala Safari
great hotel! Food was excellent and good that it is because there is not much in the area. We stayed two nights due to us having a full day safari. The pool was also one of the best parts of the hotel with complementary afternoon tea! Rooms were clean and fairly modern.

Superb buffet! Do not miss
Great facilities and very clean. Only lacked help/ info on the area and what to see and do. The buffet however was outstanding and should not be missed

Lovely hotel
Nice clean comfortable room with air conditioning. However every time you leave the room and take your key out of the card holder the power shuts off in your room. Which means you can't leave electronics charging when you're out. Buffet was nice, but a bit pricey for Sri Lanka. Staff was helpful. Mosquitoes were horrible, wear bug spray even if you're only going out for a minute at dusk / dark.

Convenient hotel
Food was ok, service was good. However the room was not very comfortable and the bathroom had a strange odor. The open areas especially the restaurant was full of flies

A good base to explore Yala and Tissamaharama
Comfortable rooms, friendly staff. A very nice breakfast cooked to order (versus normal buffet). We visited the resort during low season in early July '16 and we received good service.

Bel environnement et bel accueil néanmoins nous avons retrouvé un cafard pendant notre séjour dans la chambre. Le personnel est bienveillant mais ça peut être “étouffant” notamment pendant le repas où ils attendent “à côté” de nous la fin de nos plats. Ceci était peut être du au peu de fréquentation pendant notre séjour. Cependant la vue est parfaite pour ce reposer le long de la piscine face aux plantations de riz
