Hotel is very clean, the cleanest hotel we stayed in Sri Lanka. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Dinner was great, chef Shalom prepared very tasteful fish and prawns. They also prepared special meal for our daughter, everything was delicious. Shalom and Shashi were very nice and helpful. They provide us late check out. We felt there like at home. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Great value for money. Appreciate the hospitality. I wish nothing but the best for the Art Yala team. There was a good breakfast and a lot of restaurants close by for convenience. Definitely head to the ancient temples close by. It's right next to the lake so it was very relaxing for my family.

An exceptional family stay, in December 2024, this was a newly built facility. The family run hotel had a homely atmosphere, everyone was super friendly and polite. The owner has put a lot of thought into the layout and details of the whole hotel. The room are expansive, very comfortable and immaculately clean. The private balconies offer great views over the picturesque rice fields and beyond to the lake. The gardens are teaming with birds. The pool is well maintained, and very welcome after a long journey. The food was super fresh and very tasty, home cooked in a very clean open air kitchen. The owner arranged our Yala safari. We had a very enjoyable stay, in hide sight we should have stayed longer.

Incredible host who took os out on a really nice evening tour! He arranged the safari for us the next day where we saw a leopard and elephant! He helped us get transportation to Mirissa as well the next day for a really good price! The view was beautiful and food was good. The location was a bit remote but really nice if you’re doing a safari. Can’t recommend enough:)

I feel very lucky to stay at Nalin’s place. I highly recommend it! It was the best place during my trip. The room was very clean, the mattress was comfortable. We got 5 star service here. Nalin was very kind and nice, prepared everything I asked for, hot water for shower, fruit and blanket. He also brought us to see sunrise, visit 4 beautiful lakes and local temples, and introduced birds. He has very rich bird knowledge. We even saw swimming crocodile in a lake! His wife cooks so well! We had super delicious homemade dinner. I really love it! Nalin also helped us book a safari, and we saw leopard, bear, and many other animals.

Our stay with Randy and his delightful family was absolutely fabulous. The room was very large, spacious and comfortable, and beautifully clean. The food Randy's wife made for us was really delicious, and healthy too. We enjoyed lots of exotic fruits we had not tried before, most of which came from their garden. Randy went above and beyond any expectations we could possibly have. He took us on a tour of the lake and village, and pointed out lots of amazing wildlife, including toucans, turtles, and monitor lizards. The whole family were lovely, including Randy's wife and little girl. Elegant Lake House is a perfect place to stay. There is nothing else to say. Thank you very much, Randy and family.

We enjoyed a wonderful four-nights-stay in Tissa as a point of departure to the nationalparks. From the start, our friendly host and his whole family made as feel welcome and indulged us with lovely welcome drinks, dishes, tips what to visit, where to have dinner. They organised all tours to three parks with pick ups in the mornings and packed lunch. Also our drivers there were perfectly chosen and made our days special while visiting elephants, eagles, sloth bears and leopards. The house is at a beautiful lake, you can relish breakfast with a view. Friendliness, service, cleanliness, Wifi, selection of fresh fruits and homemade local food like hoppers – all five stars!!!

    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.

    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 ☹️

    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 lake 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.

The hotel is located in the center of Tissamaharama town which is very convenient. Highly recommend! Worth the price!

    Nice room with an amazing view of the lake. Big terrace, perfect to enjoy breakfast and sunsets in front of the lake. The bathroom was very big and there was as much hot water as we wanted (very rare in Sri Lanka). From the hotel it's a very short tuk tuk ride to the point where you can take a boat tour on the lake. Absolutely do it if you have the time, it's so worth it you will see hundreds of beautiful birds and bats.
