    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 .

    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).

    we loved absolutely everything. Saraii is undoubtedly the best hotel we have been to in Sri Lanka. It is a real experience that the host offers you !!! The service is amazing. The staff caring us ad we have never been with us. The sublime cabins with all the necessary comfort. And very clean! Dive into the heart of nature, you are immersed in it. Animal sounds give you a unique experience. If you read this comment, DON’T HESITATE any longer and go discover this little jewelry! See you soon and thank you again. It was fabulous.

    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 🇩🇰❤️

    Lovely family run hotel serving tasty homemade food. Rooms are clean and comfortable. You can book a safari directly through the hotel. Our Safari driver Saje was brilliant he made a huge effort all day to find leopards and right at the end of the day we had a fantastic sighting of two! His off roading skills are also second to none. It's worth noting if you would like the Sri Lankan breakfast then you need to order the night before

    Fantastic stay, great facilities, but most of all the customer service by the staff is fabulous. Manager Indika and his team provided the best customer service humanly possible. He stretched our experience to further greatness by taking us for bush walks, plucking wild grown plants and making herbal teas, treating us with excellent recipes of local food. I highly recommend this hotel for a stay in Yala.

The rooms are very big with all facilities that can be found in high star hotels. The food was extremely good. If we could be able to take this hotel with us for the rest of our trip, we will no doubt do that.

    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.
