This guesthouse is situated in paddy fields, this makes for some beautiful sunsets, however it also meant biting bugs and noisy farming. The rooms were fine, as you'd expect for a budget guesthouse, however the food is abysmal, overpriced and most of it never available (cheese omelet being the only staple for 600rs) The owner shouted at several members of...

A lovely family-run place where they treated me like one of the family! I was on a budget and they took care of me with sandwiches for the safari, a good price on the cheapest room they could find and tea with everything! If you are nice to them they will be nice to you, guaranteed. The guide on the... More

This was a really lovely place to stay, the rooms were very clean and comfortable with great AC. The staff are very friendly and will help to organize tours to Yala or anything else that you need. I thoroughly reccomend staying here if you get the chance. (Great food as well!)

We enjoyed our stay at this family run business. Ebert was kind enough to pick us up from the bus stop at the junction 6km away from Tissa which saved us from having to catch another bus. We had a lovely 2 night stay in a bungalow overlooking some rice fields. Ebert also arranges safaris through his guesthouse so we... More

We stayed 1 night, only to visit yala park. The room is for reasonble money. The best was the safari experience. We took 6h safari with Srimal. He was an excellent guide. We saw all the animals, including leopard.

Travellers home is run by a lovely and helpful family. We stayed here for 3nights in total in mid April. The rooms were clean, comfortable and all with a good mosquito net over each bed. We booked our tour of Yala national park through the family which was all done in one easy payment including entrance to the park itself.... More

This was one of the more expensive places we stayed whilst travelling around Sri Lanka. We spent the previous night in Ella, where one of the employees at our accommodation said that he had a friend in Tissa who could offer accommodation and safari tours of Yala National Park. Rather than faff about when we arrived in Tissa, we arranged... More
