I loved everything about this place. I would like to start by commending Gayan, the host! He is probably the best and nicest host I've had in Sri Lanka. He sent me to the town FOC to get some of the best Sri Lankan food I've eaten, given me a free nature tour around the lake where we can see fruit bats and owls, arranged the safari at the most affordable rate I could find, had some of the most interesting conversations about plants, animals, Sri Lankan culture, etc. Everything in this place felt like a family home. We had tea at 4AM before the safari and was also welcomed back with a king coconut! The room was also amazingly clean, spacious, well decorated and came with an extra cooler fan because Tissa can get quite hot. I definitely recommend this place and would love to come back again!

Host was amazing! Went above and beyond for us. Price also included a delicious dinner and breakfast - worth the money just for that alone. Host also sorted out our safari and let us check out late after this. Would 100% recommend this property.

Beautiful place, well maintained grounds. Comfortable lakefront homes with a lovely porch with a beautiful view of the lake. Very caring and attentive host and staff. The breakfast is superb, the most delicious coconut pancakes. We also ordered dinner which was served to us on the veranda, the food was great and so was the service. I recommend this place!

Great place! My friend and I stayed in this two room home - he was in the bottom room and I was in the top room so we had the whole place to ourselves! The rooms are huge, both with large outdoor space. Beds are comfortable, bathrooms are modern, and the property is beautiful. The host, Mithila, is super friendly and helpful. She booked us a well-priced safari at Yala and we were lucky enough to see a leopard! She also said she could order us food to eat at the place, but we decided to go out instead.

The guesthouse is located in a beautiful and location with panoramic views over rice fields. The city is within a short and beautiful walk. Our room was spacious, spotless and full of light. We could have one of our best sleep in Sri Lanka, thanks to the great beds, AC and barely any mosquitoes. You might find small bugs, but it’s something expected in a location in the nature. The breakfast and dinner were copious and delicious, with a few choices for dinner (rice and curry was spectacular) We organized a full day safari, the best have had so far in Sri Lanka (we have done 3 in total. Breakfast, lunch with curries and plenty of cold drinks and snacks were provided. The driver was gentle driver (drivers tent to be aggressive to find the best spot) and thanks to his sharp eye we could spot many animals: peacocks, water buffalos, families of deers, many birds and a magnificent leopard. We could also see a few elephant families with babies and younger elephants, so close we would have the impression we could touch them! It was an unforgettable experience for our family. The host went above and beyond to meet all our needs: safari, laundry, Tuk Tuk for a visit to the beach, a taxi service to our next destination… they even would buy us curd with honey as it’s a local specialty and we absolutely loved it! We would recommend this place without hesitation and we are looking forward to coming back in a future!

It should be on everyone’s itinerary! The safari was amazing- go for the all day! And Jami Riverside Hotel is run by a wonderful host couple and the accommodations were comfortable, clean and affordable. They will make all the safari arrangements with the park for you if you wish. We had a wonderful driver -PHN Kasun Sampath.

Tissamaharama is a fantastic base for anyone looking to explore the natural beauty and rich culture of southern Sri Lanka. It's perfectly located for Yala National Park safaris, offering easy access to incredible wildlife encounters. Beyond the safaris, the town itself has a calm, local vibe with beautiful lakes and ancient temples to discover. You'll find plenty of local restaurants and shops, making it easy to enjoy authentic Sri Lankan experiences. It's a great spot for both adventure and relaxation, and I highly recommend spending some time here!

The owner of Serenity lake advices us to visit Yala safari, Sithul pawwa magul viharaya and sithul pawwa a super history with beautiful scenery, which we did and we're very grateful for his advice. We returned to the serenity lake to have lunch before heading off. Requested for a village kind of lunch with the local veggies and it was served on a lotus leaf... The most delicious meal it was. We had lunch at Reds and at the Serenity lake .

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.

Basic rooms but clean and good value. What was very valuable to us, was that the super cheerful host Mithi helped a lot with organizing things: transfer from Tangalle to Tissa, from Tissa to Ella, visit to Bundala NP and to Yala NP, all for fair prices. In particular, the communication about these arrangements with Mithi was swift and clear (which isn't always the case when trying to arrange things upfront with others in Sri Lanka). Also, they were happy to help out with free transport between town and hotel.

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.

This is a budget hotel that is such good value. The staff were so friendly, we felt so at home. The food is amazing, full Sri Lankan breakfast and lovely dinner which we had both nights of our stay. The pool area is very nice. This hotel is focussed on the safari experience. We booked through the hotel, and were provided with a breakfast and lunch. A really full day. Tissimahara is a short Tuk Tuk ride away although we didn’t have time to visit, so not sure what there would be to experience there.

Food is great and the rooms spacious, very clean and have great facilities like warm water and a good shower. The environment is also really peacefull and this is a great place to do a safari at Yala (can book this at the hotel - can recommend the full day safari!).
