It was a nice stop and the venue is super close to the lake so we enjoyed the outdoor. The team made extra effort and gift for our little one birthday. She loved it.

One of the most beautiful places we ever stayed at!
The room is big, with a huge and comfortable bed, AC available and the bathroom is amazing. The area is very quiet, perfect to relax after a long and tiring day.
Lovely staff, they will do all they can to accommodate your needs. They can also organize the safari for you.
We highly recommend staying here, you will love it!

Everything!!!! Absolutely wonderful all around experience staying at Bundala Ruhunumaya Green Villa. The tranquil, spacious, clean, and comfortable accommodations surpassed expectations. My friend and I instantly fell in love with the family. They are very knowledgeable about the area and made arrangements for Safaris, drivers, and a temple visit.
The authentic Sri Lankan meals were incredibly delicious and stood out as the best food we’ve eaten in Sri Lanka.
My friend and I highly recommend staying at this villa. It was an unforgettable wonderful experience. We definitely hope to return here on our next visit to Sri Lanka.

This hotel provided excellent value for the price. The staff was friendly and attentive, and their assistance in arranging our safari adventure was invaluable. The on-site restaurant impressed us with its delicious and hygienic cuisine, all at a reasonable price. We recommend opting for the hotel's meals over street food options to ensure a safe and enjoyable dining experience.

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.

Super clean, amazing and very attentive owner and staff and gorgeous view of the lake. The owner picked us up from the bus stop and showed us around the lakes. He is so knowledgeable about all the fauna and takes time to tell you about everything. We saw all kinds of birds, crocodiles, bats and the water buffalo. The owner showed us interesting places related to local culture and it was fascinating. The food and service were both exceptional. We did the safari tour and it was great but my favorite part of the trip was the Tissa tour by the hotel owner. Don’t miss it!

This is the perfect spot to unwind before and after a safari adventure. The location is stunning, with the serene Debarawewa Lake right in front, offering a chance to spot plenty of water birds and even a few crocodiles from a safe distance.
The resort staff was incredibly helpful - they arranged a jeep to share for the safari, making it much more affordable. The shared safari option also gave us the chance to connect with other travelers, which was a lovely bonus.
The rooms were comfortable, and I loved the cozy communal area in front of them. It’s a great space to relax, exchange safari stories, and chat with fellow adventurers about travel experiences. The atmosphere here is friendly and welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable.
If you're planning a trip to Yala, I highly recommend this place for its comfort, location, and the overall experience it offers. I’d happily stay here again!
This hotel is absolutely wonderful and exudes beauty in every corner. The comfort it offers is exceptional, ensuring a truly delightful stay. Finding the hotel was a breeze, adding to the overall convenience. The staff provided impeccable service, making us feel warmly welcomed throughout our stay. It's the kind of place that leaves you longing to return again and again. Plus, we had the pleasure of spending a few blissful hours relaxing in the pool.

Clean and very spacious rooms.
Stunning view towards the rice paddies and lake.
Lovely pool to refresh and relax.
The host family could not be more welcoming, they went out of their way to make us feel at home.
Dinner and breakfast were very, very delicious!!
We would have loved to stay much longer.
Thank you everyone for being so kind to us, we'll come back some day.
Also you can back your Safari here. The host Janaka organizes the trips himself and has the best drivers.
We saw 2 Leopards with his diver Damith and were very happy with how he guided us through the Safari!

The property is brand new and spotlessly clean, nestled in a picturesque neighborhood by two serene lakes—an ideal place to unwind. However, what truly made our stay exceptional was the incredible host. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience, personally organizing bicycles for us and taking us on a guided tour around the lakes and town. His passion for the area and warm hospitality made us feel truly welcome, turning our trip into an unforgettable adventure.

Weerawila, located in a dry zone of Sri Lanka, is ideal for wildlife safaris and nature experiences. This location is especially convenient during the rainy season, as it often stays dry even when the rest of the country is experiencing thunderstorms. We chose it specifically to avoid heavy rains.

Off the beaten path and immersed in nature, a great place to escape the crowded Sri Lanka cities. It's very easy to stop here when you are coming from the mountains or the beach because it's precisely in the middle. The temperature year round is very pleasant and not as hot as the beach or as cold as the mountains. Locals are happy to see you and you won't get harassed by salespeople. It's a small town which offers a great market, lots of fruits and even a few restaurants with local prices everywhere. Go into the village and find accomodations nearby the national park border to really see a lot of wildlife. The place is known to have elephants, monkeys, frogs, peacocks, giant squirrels, and so many beautiful birds. We stayed just one day but I think at least 2 days would be better if you enjoy a peaceful retreat feel nearby nature with little distraction. This town is much more pleasant to walk around then Tissamaharama and has a relaxed atmosphere. Stop by and get a different experience in Tanamalwila.

I can’t comment on everything, but the place where I stayed was excellent it’s Yala eco shine. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and professional. The rates were also very reasonable. There are plenty of things to do, and the food was great. Although it’s a busy area with a lot of traffic, it didn’t spoil my overall experience. I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend it.

The White House Inn is a fantastic place to stay in Thissamaharama. It’s situated in a calm and natural setting, making it perfect for relaxation. The inn is also very close to the Yala National Park, which is great for those looking to go on safari.
The hotel is clean and comfortable, providing a welcoming atmosphere. The spacious lobby area is a nice spot to unwind. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, offering excellent service throughout our stay.
One of the highlights was the food. We enjoyed both breakfast and dinner, and the Sri Lankan dishes were absolutely delicious. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at the White House Inn and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

We were extremely satisfied with the hotel and its beautiful surroundings. Everything exceeded our expectations.
We took lots of photos & are sharing them with friends. The restaurants,Roof bar,Spa's and the pool side and pool is world class with out doubt!
The service was outstanding, and that is something that can really make or break a vacation. Congratulations to the Super Proactive General Manager Mr Krishanta Damunupola and his team members to include Mr Seeman and Miss Sandani(Intern) for being so accommodating at all times with oodles of dedication. We also especially liked the super-comfy room with the balcony, bed linens which were very high quality, and felt so good to slip into each night. Thanks so much for a lovely visit.We'll be singing your praises for a long time. Thanks!

Hotels generally not near any restaurants so confined to your hotel for dining. Would not want more than one or two nights there.
