Stand-out experience was the boat tour (right from the dock) to the grove of trees on the opposite shore where you can see flying foxes, egrets, herons, ibis, indian darters, parrots, pelicans and crocodiles. The profusion of wildlife is incredible. Go just before sunset.

We stayed for nights for a day safari in Yala arranged by the hotel. upon arrival the family were so welcoming and could not do enough for us. The room was clean and spacious with a view of the lovely garden and swimming pool. We had Sri Lankan curry for dinner cooked by mum which was lovely. The safari was great and we even saw the leopards. We would definitely recommend this hotel

The location is excellent and the resort is real value for money . The food was excellent . The rooms were nice . The toiletries in the bathrooms needs to improve . The bathroom needs exhaust fans as it can get quite stuffy . The resort manager Mr Upal is a nice friendly bloke and is exceptional in his service . Overall a very pleasant experience .

This is a great location to stay if you want to visit the national parks and My Village will organise safaris to the four parks in the area either a half or full day. The local town is not a tourist town but it's great to wander around looking in the local shops.

Was in Tissamaharama for Yala Safari, had booked the early morning Safari.
Disappointed with the Safari as there were very few animals except.for.peacocks and spotted dear.
Later into the ride our jeep driver and guide revealed we had entered through block 5 of the Safari and most the animals(Leopard, Bears) mostly are sighted in block 1 and 2.
Block 1 and 2 were closed that day, maybe just our luck.
So I guess check, with the Safari organizer before booking your safari as it quite expensive.
Basically disappointed ☹️

Very good base for safari to Yala or Bundala parks.
Very good base for safari to Yala or Bundala parks. I' went to Bundala as I've never been to park with big wetlands and I think it was a great choice. We've seen numerous types of birds, lizards, monkeys, jackals, mangooses, bufallos, crocodiles and also few elephants😊
I didn't stay in center of Tissa but still was able to find nice restaurants, like Smoky Kitchen (recommended).

He arrange taxy after safari go to ella for reasonable price. Breakfast was delicious . Dinner rice and curry very testy.thank you and i highly recommend village mango resort ......😍
Probably the best hotel during our holiday in Srí Lanka. Owner of hotel since the morning texted us to ensure that our stay will be fully prepared. Tuk tuk was waiting for us on bus station, we had delicious dinner, breakfast and lunch. Our trip to safari was ensured and could not have been easier. We appreciate the friendly approach of staff and the unbelivable combination of low price and quality of provided services. If you will go to Tissamaharama, go there and you will not regret.
This is our favorite place we stayed in Sri Lanka! Even better than a lodge we stayed at for a private safari that cost us $200 a night! This place was PERFECT! The breakfast was my favorite, the pool was perfect for our son, and the family was so nice. I wish we could have stayed here much longer. We were so comfortable and could not have asked for a better time. I really wanted typical Sir Lankan food, and they went out of their wayt o make sure we had that. Best place ever!
The staff are very welcoming and really like to make sure you're comfortable.
Food is Sri Lanka and catered for the non spicy which I loved
Location to the park is okay took about 20 mins to reach the entrance however we drove to the hotel and they didn't have signs to the venue so we found it a little troublesome to get there - we got lucky finding a safari truck to follow.
They can provide the safari trip at extra and give you nice binoculars and snacks/breakfast
A fantastic stay! The Team of My Village is very friendly, location is great in a peaceful area of Tissa, we arranged a full day safari directly with the Hotel and it was an unforgettable experience, the driver had great knowledge of the animals and was super customer oriented. Pool area is beautiful and definitely the best breakfast we have had in Sri Lanka. Do not hesitate in booking this property, and go for the rooms that have pool view (more private).
This place is perfect if you're planning to explore Yala through safaris. We organized ours with the hotel, and it turned out to be great fun and good value. The room was not only clean but also comfortable, offering lovely views of the surrounding countryside. The refreshing welcome drinks were a delightful touch. The hotel lives up to its name, providing an amazing lake view with an abundance of birdlife. Highly recommended for nature enthusiasts!
The owner/host of this place is amazing. My boyfriend and I think he was the kindest man in Sri Lanka. He cooked food for us, helped us with transport to Tissamaharama and to Ella (very good prices). He maked us feel so comfortable! You will get a lot of value for money at this place! Please note that this place has a nice location if you want to go to Yala (block 1 entrance). Would recommend this place to everyone!
Greetings from DK 🇩🇰❤️
This is the best place we've stayed in Asia. It is the perfect location in front of the lake where you can see tons of birds, water buffalos and even crocodiles. The room was sparkling clean and comfortable but the best thing are the owners that are so attentive and nice, they gave us tips, Sri Lanka tea and treats, helped us arranging the Safari and even took us to see hundreds of bats in the afternoon.
We can't recommend this place enough!
Our safari adventure kicked off from this conveniently situated hotel, just a stone's throw away from the city, making our travels hassle-free. Locating the hotel was a breeze, adding to the convenience of our stay. The culinary offerings surpassed our expectations, with delectable food and drinks tantalizing our taste buds. Moreover, the affordability of the hotel's services made our experience even more satisfying.
Brandnew guest house, everything is clean.
Our hosts were amazing, very attentive and caring. Showed us around (eg. nearby lake) and picked us up from the main road at arrival (since the place is hard to find) and dropped us at the bus stop when we left (making sure that the driver was informed about our destination)
Beautiful garden
For dinner, we had the best curry of 3 weeks Sri Lanka so far. We loved it!
This place is amazing. My favourite place in Sri Lanka so far. Beautiful pool surrounded by nature and a nice comfortable and stylish chalet. The staff were incredibly nice and the food was really nice. They arranged my safari for the next day and gave me breakfast to take with me at 5am. The manager also arranged my next hotel and taxi there. You should visit this place!
This motel serves really wonderful meals. The best part of my trip to Sri Lanka was that. We even went on an amazing safari that they organised for us. There's a big river close by that's presently overflowing with water, so swimming is not advised because of the crocodiles. But the large garden provides a wonderful spot to unwind and enjoy your stay at the hotel.
A great base for a Yala tour, the host sorted our Yala tour out in advance, just message them ahead of time. The room and hotel etc was great, lovely pool space to chill by to escape the heat. They prepped a breakfast for the AM tour and cooked us an excellent dinner the night before, a very tasty Sri Lankan curry indeed. Attentive and welcoming hosts.
Our host went above and beyond to make our stay as memorable as possible. She organised our transfers, the safari and even a cooking class free of charge. We had told her in an email we were celebrating our engagement and she prepared a speacial cake and everything. This was the best place we stayed in sri lanka lanka including the 5 star resorts.
Incredibly caring, attentive and friendly hosts. They helped us organize the safaris and transfers. They even prepared some snacks for the safaris! The views of the lake from the hotel's garden are great and the room has fullfilled our expectations. We would definitely repeat if we were to come back to Sri Lanka!
This hotel is really nice. I suggest it to everyone. You can go on a safari right from the hotel, and they charge a fair price. We stayed in their tree house, where you can see the river and hear its soothing sounds. Being there made me wish I could stay forever.
This place is a great combination of friendly people, excellent prices and a well-maintained establishment. The cleanest place we stayed in Sri Lanka. The pool ass extra fun. And don't pass on Sri Lanka strike breakfast. The homemade carry is so delicious 😋.
I had an exceptional stay at this hotel! The food was amazing, and the location surrounded by greenery was beautiful. The morning view was truly breathtaking. Though it was a one-day stay, we loved every moment of my stay. Highly recommended!
This is the perfect place to stay in Tissa. Great location next to the bus station, the room and bathroom are super clean and the hosts are so nice and helpful. Best hotel I’ve stayed in Sri Lanka so far!
