the owners were wonderful. great food, excellent recommendations for sightseeing (they provided even a bicycle to go there), wake-up-service at 4.15am for the safari, free „taxi“-service to their neighbour to see deer and to the bus station. and the owners love animals, help you spot birds or crocodiles by the river. just excellent!

I had the best stay here!!! The host was extreamly sweet and helpsom person! Making sure that you didn’t need anything. Very generous and good breakfast and dinner. Excelent location. Short walk to the town and right next to Tissa lake and fruit bat wiew point. I got safari organised by the place and it was beyond any expectations. I saw every possible animal the park has including leopard. And planty of elephants. I give the highest caracter and recomend it for a stay you will not be dissapointed about.

The staff here were very accommodating and friendly. We were even offered some of their fresh produce and shown around some of the local attractions! Unfortunately, it was raining during our stay. Meaning that we decided to only stay one night instead of two (we chose not to do the safari because of the rain). We told the host and he was totally understanding of our situation and was happy to waive our extra nights accomodation. As well as drop us off at the bus station the following day.

The property is right in front of the lake and the sunrise is absolutely stunning! I even saw crocodiles, and many bird species. There was fisherman there who took me for a trade fishing ride experience. So many birds singing and squirrels playing around, literally, it was like living with the nature. And nearby lake, there were thousands of fruit bats and anhinga birds. For nature lovers, this place is like heaven. For city people, it’s an opportunity to be with the real nature!

The place is beautifully located in a rice paddy. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The hosts were kind, helpful and lovely (x10). We found the home cooked meals (breakfast and dinner) better than what the restaurants in town could offer. We booked our Yala safari through them and everything went smoothly. I can not speak highly enough of the place and the owners.

Nice & spacious property with amazing outdoors seating areas with great views in a great location. The room was great & had an en-suite. The food was also amazing and we ate here both nights! We had already booked a safari in yala before we booked the accommodation, but we would have done it with the guesthouse had we not booked in advance. They also helped us to try & start our Tuktuk when it wouldn’t start & when it wouldn’t start they went to collect a mechanic and brought him to us. Super helpful & kind hosts!

We had a great time in tissa/yala thanks to this guest house. Super friendly hosts that arranges everything for you.

    Wow our host was the best! He was so incredibly helpful. Fixed the aircon right away, helped us with repairs on the tuktuk and brought us cool drinks and coffee exactly when we needed it😁. The rooms are big and comfortable, with a large bed. Nice shower, quiet location. Lastly we booked an amazing safari in the National Park @ the guesthouse. Couldn't be more satisfied with this accommodation!
