The place is fantastic. The room is spacious and has all the amenities you need. Small fridge, kettle tea coffee. There is water in the bedroom as well. We had an amazing stay. They can accommodate for dinner. The food was absolutely delicious and all home made. They offer tours to Yala park as well and it's definitely worth it we had one of the best guides.

Black Panther is the reason I like to stay in well run family hotels. Exceptional service! I’m not exaggerating. We stayed at a 5star hotel in Ella prior for 2nights and the service provided by the owner Nalin is comparable or better as he will personally cater to your needs as requested. The place is clean, the room we stayed in was a good size, had a clean comfortable bed, shower has hot water, good air conditioning kept room at perfect temp, and strong WiFi throughout the whole property. Food prepared by Nalin and his wife is delicious. Also the hotel is located close to Debarawewa lake which is full of birds and saw several crocodiles along the edge of the lake. Tissa lake with even more birds and fruit bats is a short tuk tuk ride away which the host can arrange. Great communication via Whatsup before arrival. Host can arrange transportation from Ella or Mirissa for a fair price as well.

We booked this property solely based on the reviews about the hosts and I can confidently say that every single comment was true. Randy and his family were really welcoming. He happily showed us around his village in a tuk tuk. He took us out to buy whatever we needed and it was really convenient. Our baby got sick during the stay and Randy made sure our baby got whatever she needed. He also arranged our safaris and packed us breakfast. The next morning, Randy and his family cooked us the best ever breakfast we have ever had in the whole trip. We genuinely felt sad leaving him and his place. Highly recommend this place and Randy.

This was the best hotel I stayed in Sri lanka. We booked 2 rooms and found out the whole villa is ours. The hostess was extremely friendly and helpful. The cleanness of the rooms, size of the room amazing, location in a peaceful quiet very beautiful place, close to the river. We missed the barbecue though. But teh terrace and balcony are worth to try it.

The owner was very friendly and attentive. We were a little sick and she did her best to help us. She brought us tea, fresh juice, medicines, thermometer. She also cooked for us chicken with rise with an additional charge (it was delicious). She replied our WhatsApp messages at once. The property and our room room we stayed has a huge balcony with views of rise fields and the forest and it was very very cleaned. I was walking barefoot even outside!!

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 ☹️

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.

Amazing breakfast. Exceeded out expectations. Sri Lankan and continental cuisine! The hotel also arranged our Safari and the driver and guide of the safari was exceptional. He always seemed to know where animals would show up. We saw so much wildlife! His driving made us feel so safe and his knowledge about the parks flora and fauna was utterly inspiring. Thank you sooo much driver for such an amazing experience. We can only highly recommend this young man!

We stayed at Gaga Bees for two nights so that we could do the safari at Yala - it’s a perfect location for this. The accommodation is beautiful and well looked after. We had breakfast and dinner at the restaurant on site both days and the food was some of the best we have had in Sri Lanka. The staff are the best thing about the hotel - they are so friendly, kind and accommodating with anything you need. Would definitely recommend!

The food at this hotel is absolutely delicious. It was a highlight of my trip to Sri Lanka. They even arranged a safari for us, which was an incredible experience. There's a large lake nearby, currently brimming with water, so it's not advisable to swim due to the presence of crocodiles. However, the expansive garden offers a great place to relax and enjoy your time at the hotel.
