Our stay was really perfect. The hotel was one of the cleanest we had in Sri Lanka, the pool is awesome and invites for relaxed hours. The room and its equipment was also impeccable. We spontaneously prolonged our stay for one more night because we just loved it. Tharindu and the rest of the staff were super attentive and fulfilled every wish. The restaurant was also yummy and the prices were reasonable. They even gave us a free bottle of water for the onward journey. The organization of the full day safari was easy and we got to see elephants and leopards with our guide Dinuka. The guide was also very good as he was very experienced (one time he predicted the exact point of a leopard crossing the road). All in all: If we ever come back to Tissimaharama, we will definitely stay there again!

Wow, what a find Art Yala boutique resort is. If you want a a break away from the hustle and bustle of every day life this is the place to come.It’s hard to explain how beautiful and tranquil the view is from this fabulous resorts garden looking across the lake to the distant Buddhist temple, perfect for morning yoga. Madu the resort owner and his wonderful staff Nisal, Mahesh, Sampath and the outstanding Chef Indika looked after us like family. The fruit and tasty cooked food for dinner is all local produce. The rooms are very modern and spacious with all mod cons required. For a trip to the National Reserve Safari park. Madu can arrange everything for a full day or half day safari. If you’re lucky,like we were you may get to see a Leopard or two along with the many other wild animals. Thanks Madu 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for the wonderful stay Kind regards Pete & Di

The place is beautiful, a really nice cocoon near the lake! The owners are really friendly and they offer you a bird tour in the evening with sunset stop. This experience was really enjoyable and interesting, the sunset on the lake beautiful.

The owner is a fantastic man, he was very attentive and respectful. He helped organise transport to Yala and then from Yala, as well as our Safari. He got an excellent Safari driver, which is the key to a good Safari experience. The room was lovely, and dinners were brilliant too. The area has a lake nearby and the locals who live nearby are so welcoming and friendly. I wish we had stayed longer.

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!

I had the perfect stay here, couldn’t recommend this enough! Randy is an amazing host and truly went above and beyond for me. Picking me up from the bus stop, an arrival snack, an amazing tour of Tissa & the wildlife in the area, and also arranged my safari. The property is stunning, exactly as pictured. You can watch squirrels and birds right from your room and even see water buffalo walking along the lake.

Great stay near Yalla National Park and a superb place to sleep. The room is huge, with AC and the location is beautiful. It is outside of town, but with your own transport nothing is too bad. The staff is the best with great support and nice people overall to talk too. We had dinner here too, which was amazing, and they helped us with our TukTuk lights and exchanged money for a fair rate. Breakfast was the best we had during our trip.

The best accommodation we've stayed at in Sri Lanka. A very spacious room and a beautiful bathroom. But the best thing is the terraces overlooking the river. The hosts are very friendly and helped us book the safari and provide other information we requested. Thank you so much for a great stay.

    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 ☹️

    The pool made everyone happy. It is quite spacious, has deep parts and overlooks the beautiful lake scenery. Thanks for sun-beds and pool towels, that is thoughtful. The room is spacious and has comfy beds. This was the only hotel during our trip in Sri Lanka to provide cribs for little ones. I would also like to compliment the shower located under the stars with a net protecting from insects. I didn’t experience any problems with hot shower, there was a plenty of hot water. The hotel helps to arrange safari in Yala.

    Milshani is a host, who takes care for her guests. She organized all safaris for me in advance and each was worth the money. If it was leopards in Yala, elephants in Udawalawe or birds and crocodiles in Bundala, nature lovers will enjoy. The Sri Lankan food was exceptional, Milshani and her mother even gave me cooking lesson. The location of the homestay is away from the noise in Tissamaharama and I loved overlooking the rice fields from the veranda. Super homestay, super hosts. Would come again.

Room was the cleanest compared to other places I stayed in Sri Lanka. They arranged a very nice safari tour. They also offer free bicycle so I could explore the area a bit. Best place to stay especially if you are a solo woman traveller.

    Without a doubt the best accommodation where we stayed for 28 days in Sri Lanka. As already mentioned in other reviews, we felt that we were in a 5* hotel, from the people, to the accommodation, the cleanliness, the food and the attention to detail, everything was perfect. This is a genuine review that I hope will contribute to the growth of this small business.

We even forgot a smartwatch at the hotel and they managed to return it to us although we had already moved to Ella. We booked an early Tour to Yala and they prepared a great breakfast to go. Thanks a lot for this wonderful stay.
