Large, clean and comfortable room with a beautiful balcony overlooking the river. This hotel is great value for your money.

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!

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!

Dream location on lake side. Very good food and happy, smiling and very helpful owners. I would go there again.

It's a great staff with very friendly service.

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.

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!

Amazing hospitality, great local tour in the village from Randy (the owner) , facilitated the safari trip for us and a car to drive us to our next destination, whenever we want anything Randy is always responsive and there to help literally in anything, and the room was so clean and cozy, would definitely come again.. highly recommended!

A nice hotel, very clean, super friendly staff and owner, very good service, ... I loved the breakfast and dinner. The location is very quiet, within walking distance of the smaller lake and a 5-minute drive to Tissa lake. It is a good base to explore the area. I also booked 2 safari's with them. Everything was well-organised, from start to finish.

Host is such a wonderful, kind, helpful and pleasant man! He took care about our takeaway breakfast on safari, organized everything in the best possible way! Besides location between 2 lakes is beautiful. Great spot for people interested in birding, you can see a lot of species around! you can enjoy sunsets and beautiful view!

They were very accommodating! Very nicest staff, I appreciate them.

Great spot, excellent people and facilities...

The facilitate is very good and the staff are very friendly.

A charming place to stay near this small town's center. The air conditioner was operating flawlessly, and the room was spotless. The owner, who is fluent in English, planned a safari for us and provided excellent guidance on local walks. For our safari, he also made a breakfast to go. Strongly advised.

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.

Perfect price and quality. They welcomed us with local drink and served us dinner (for extra charge). Dinner is very worth it.

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.

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.
