Very nice place to stay when doing Yala safari. Next to the lake, great views. Staff is extremely friendly, food is great and at a very good price. Family room is very spacious, with amazing views.

Pool and balcony view

All staff is very gentle and full of attentions. Location is perfect just 2 kilometers away from a lake with giant bats and many birds. Dinner excellent also, and the swimming pool is nice to refresh after a safari day. To sum up : a great discovery !

I booked the safari that was recommended to me by the owners of the accommodation. I cannot recommend this one. I felt like I was on a hunt and not on a safari. In my opinion, we raced through the national park far too fast and got far too close to the animals (especially elephants), so that we disturbed them.

The accommodation is in a really beautiful location surrounded by stunning nature. The property is large and beautiful. The rooms were okay (large rooms, nice balcony, fresh water, but the walls were a bit dirty)

Had to cut our stay a day short due to some unforeseen circumstances and there was a surcharge invoked, but it could be due to Booking.com policies.

Good location near the lake, clean and spacious rooms, cool patio, assisted us with booking a safari which left us very happy. There was a power outage but they managed to quickly secure a generator and serve dinner.

That we couldn’t stay longer!!

We were only there for one night. The drive round the lake, (we took the scenic route), was fantastic. So many birds and lotus flowers. The view of the lake from our room was just as lovely. The lady of the hotel was very helpful. Our room was spacious and clean and comfortable

None as such

The property is relatively easy to find, and right beside a lake. Rooms were spacious with a thoughtfully made balcony. Despite us reaching during a busy period, Lakmali (who heads/ manages the place) and her staff were welcoming. They were also nimble in responding to requests for ad hoc food preparations and assisting with a birthday celebration. There were minor niggles around power outage and water supply. However warmth of the managing team was more than enough to overlook those.

No hot water, the personnel doesn't speak English and its hard to communicate with them without the help of the owner

Very helpful owner, speaking good English! Good breakfast, nice rooms

Beautiful hotel immersed in nature with the lake surrounding the property and lots of trees and a lovely pool. Very comfortable and clean rooms with very friendly host who helped us book a wonderful safari and was accommodating and helpful in every way.

The owner welcomed us in a very friendly manner, on departure we got lunch without having it included in our booking. Furthermore, she was able to find a cab driver that drove us to Ella at a large discount in comparison to the typical price. The room was clean and had a balcony and is located closely to a lake. There are different animals like peacocks living on the property. Her brother is offering Safari tours and is a very experienced tour guide despite being still young. We combined a Safari tour to the Yala National Park with our stay at Lake Edge Holiday Inn and the organisation of the trip was very good.

great Location although the hotel is not placed in Tissamaharama. But for short safari stay was really good. You can book a safari in hotel which I totally recommend!

Clean, Value for money place. Very helpful owner. She managed a car for me which was not part of the deal but she did it anyway :)

The hotel owner was the best. She helped us with so many things like changing money or helping us to find the next covid testing center. The staff there was in general just really great! We even got a free meal in the evening, as there was a big wedding happening that night.

Owner-managed hotel that makes great efforts to keep the entire complex in good shape. In the garden you can relax in hammocks or look out from the balcony into the green garden.

Nice big property next to the lake. The room has everything you need and a nice balcony with a view to the garden where a new pool is built. The owner is really helpful and helps you with Safari, Transportation, …

There wasn’t anything we didn’t like. Highly recommended.

Really perfect overnight stay. The owner is extremely nice and helpful, arranged bicycles for us so we could do a ride around the lake. The rooms were really big, we had a nice balcony view over the lake. We took safari with the owner’s brother Janaka and it was great - we saw lots of animals and were far from the crowd. A really pleasant stay with super nice owners.

We initially stayed for 2 nights - then returned to stay for one month! The wonderful owners and staff made us feel so welcome and comfortable. The hotel is on a lake with amazing birds a little way from the busy town. Our favourite place in Sri Lanka

great location for the safari park. Huge room.

Shower was sometimes cold in the morning although this was lovely and refreshing in the afternoon.

we did not choose the most expensive room, but we did have the fantastic view over the lake. The bathroom was fine, bed and balcony. The staff could not do enough for us. Whatever we asked for they sorted out and always at reasonable cost. They arranged the taxi when we left and our trip to Bundala. Food was made to order. WiFi worked well. We had a great time here for four days as this is a lovely area especially for those wanting to birdwatching.
