As others have mentioned at first it is a little hard to find so I would suggest arriving in daylight. The location is part of the charm and what makes staying here so enjoyable.

We ate dinner both nights of our stay and each night we were truly looked after! The food was tasty, thoughtfully presented and offered something suitable for everyone in our group.

A fantastic place, a real life project for this couple close to nature. The food was very good, based only on local products. The room is perfect. Samitha and her husband are incredibly kind and very helpful. Samitha is a very welcoming host and immediately puts you at ease.

Be aware of the location unless you have a car, scooter etc. The sunbeds needs an upgrade

Overall the best experience in our 3 week stay. The couple were so kind to us, they even showed us around the paddyfields etc. Really good rice and curry. 100 meters from the train station.

The exceptional hosts who went out of their way to make our stay very enjoyable & relaxing. They arranged transport for us & a safari trip with people they knew would provide a good service. The pool was great for relaxing in. Most of the food provided was sourced from their own garden, including the rice from their own paddy field. We loved this family run accommodation.

Very lovely place in an unique and calm and naturally surrounding. We enjoyed the monkeys in the middle of this place a lot. The owners are super lovely, they took care about all guests & the place, we felt so much love there! Also the food was very good & lovely prepared. We can definitely recommend this place!

We booked 2 rooms for our family and had the most amazing time, that surpassed all expectations. The owners are the nicest people you could hope to meet, and before starting this business had spent many years managing restaurants and working in hospitality at the highest levels in Japan, London, and Doha - and it shows. This may look like a guest house but the service and food quality is very much '5-star'. The spacious, clean rooms are set within an organic orchard and gardens, attracting monkeys, peacocks, and other wildlife, which our kids loved to watch. All the food that's served is made with organic ingredients, either grown by themselves or by neighboring farmers. Even the rice was harvested from their own paddy fields. Dinner can be made on request, and was amongst the best traditional food we've had in Sri Lanka during our 3-week trip. They can also arrange tours to local attractions and taxis to your next destination, all at reasonable prices. Additionally, they arranged a safari with a very knowledgeable local guide, and even though the weather conditions were not ideal, we still saw 30+ elephants - an amazing experience!

Great staying. Great staff. Great hospitality.

The breakfast could have some more variations, which it would have had if I would enjoy Sri Lankan breakfasts, yet they were still kind enough to offer toast as an alternative. Something different than papaya juice everyday would have been nice, but that is just being pitty and finding something negative just because I have to. Honestly, everything was wonderful.

The owners were absolutely wonderful and one of the kindest people I have met. They went above and beyond to help us. The pool was amazing to dip into after a long day and the bed is comfortable. The atmosphere is so relaxed and the garden around the pool and houses is beautiful. Would highly recommend !

One of our best accommodations in Sri Lanka. The hosts are super friendly and serve the best food. We felt really welcome and they helped us with planning all our activities in the regions. Comfortable and beautiful rooms. We felt at home from the beginning. Super close to the railway station as well.

You’ll hear the train passing by occasionally, but this did not bother us based on the room we were in (upstairs above the main house). Food was pretty good but a bit pricey. Property is cash only.

We loved our stay at Bissa Villa. It is a beautiful garden oasis in the jungle, full of butterflies and monkeys; a quiet, sun-soaked environment to relax in. The hosts are lovely and genuinely caring. The pool is super refreshing on hot days. The room and the bed were big and comfortable; air conditioning, TV, and fridge were all great. Highly recommended stay for visiting the cultural triangle. Only a few minutes by tuktuk to Habarana Junction for restaurants and shops.

The location Is a bit far from the touristic places, we had a driver so It was not a problem but beware if you are backpacking and you Don't have a vehicle.

Nice Place with lovely staff and kitchen, in the jungle (bonus wild Animals included). It has mosquito nets
