    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. 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).

    The weather in Sri Lanka has been quite warm lately, but staying at this hotel made all the difference. Surrounded by lush greenery and plants, we hardly felt the heat; in fact, it felt pleasantly cool. The gentle breeze from the nearby river provided an added sense of comfort, making it delightful to relax by the water's edge and enjoy a meal with a picturesque view. Plus, they even arranged a safari for us right from the hotel! If you're looking for a refreshing escape, this hotel is definitely worth considering.

    What an exceptional place! Huge rooms with an outdoor style bathroom - similar to some 5 star hotels’ rooms. Lovely view from the terrace and the swimming pool over the lake and the buffalos, beautiful sunset. What makes this place even more special is the owner Arun and his staff - they go the extra mile to make each and every guest satisfied. They prepared an amazing Sri Lankan brunch for us after our safari. Dinner was sooo delicious as well , so flavourful, best food we had during our stay. Thank you so much!

    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!

    Great hotel with good and very helpful team. There was an issue with the pool during our stay related to the current situation in Sri Lanka. We were informed beforehand sufficiently so there were no surprises and we could still enjoy a swim. Even though we booked our Yala National Park safari separately from the hotel, everything went without a hitch. A breakfast was prepared and ready for us and the night guard was very helpful. A definite recommendation from us.

    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).

They even organized a fantastic safari for us, during which we spotted a leopard and a bear. The entire stay was unforgettable, and a special highlight was the complimentary boat ride arranged by the hotel. Their hospitality is truly top-notch.

    The host is the nicest family we’ve met in Sri Lanka. They took the time to show us around the neighborhood and even rented a car for a longer tour of the village. I would have stayed longer if I’d know just how nice it would be. Being a newer hotel all the bath mats, towels, and sheets are brands new. A really nice bonus!
