Priyankara is simply the best host! He told us how to get to Tissa from Arugam Bay, picked us up at the bus station, and gave us a bird-watching tour with the most stunning sunset. The room was spacious, cool, and comfortable. He organized a Yala safari for us and made Tissa and Yala National Park an unforgettable experience. If you go to Tissa, you must stay here!

We had an incredible time at the lake face cabana. One of our highlights in Sri Lanka. We stayed at a cabin for 2 nights so we can do an early morning Safari at Yala National Park. The location is like a hidden Oasis. It’s in the middle of nature, overlooking a beautiful lake full of charm and wild (harmless) animals. What’s most amazing are the owners family of this hotel. Hard working parents with two young daughters who from the moment we stepped in made us feel like we are visiting family. Very friendly, with very impressive story of resilience and hard work to get to where they are today. The food was so delicious, cooked with love by the owner. We had dream breakfasts, tea and fruit platters, all sorts of juices and of course delicious rice and curry (the best we had in Sri Lanka) For the Safari we booked through the company which was recommended through this hotel, and we were picked up at 4:30 for a 30-40 minutes drive to the national park. The owner also offered for us a free tour in the nearby area to see the fruit bats which are very impressive to watch. You can also watch all sorts of birds and wild life while sitting in the balcony of the Cabana which was magical. We didn’t want to leave in the last day, and saying goodbye to the family was the hardest as it felt we were saying goodbye to family. Certainly the best part of our Sri Lanka trip. And we will definitely go back again.

Nice & spacious property with amazing outdoors seating areas with great views in a great location. The room was great & had an en-suite. The food was also amazing and we ate here both nights! We had already booked a safari in yala before we booked the accommodation, but we would have done it with the guesthouse had we not booked in advance. They also helped us to try & start our Tuktuk when it wouldn’t start & when it wouldn’t start they went to collect a mechanic and brought him to us. Super helpful & kind hosts!

This place is great, especially for the price. The rooms are large and clean, and the surrounding area is peaceful. The owner and his family go above and beyond to ensure you have a great stay and can coordinate a private or group safari tour to Yala National Park which includes the entrance fee, food, drinks, & driver/guide. After a full day safari, we had dinner at the homestay with amazing flavor and large portions (same with breakfast). 10/10 recommend staying here.

We loved our stay at Yala Grand Homestay. The rooms impress with tasteful interior design, the place is peacefully located under palm trees next to rice paddies and the owners are so helpful and friendly, they will make your stay a great experience. Kasun is very knowledgeable about Sri Lankan wildlife and can take you on safari if you want. He is also a guide/driver for traveling his home country and can give you great recommendations and advice. His wife is a great cook and will make you feel right at home.
