An exceptional family stay, in December 2024, this was a newly built facility. The family run hotel had a homely atmosphere, everyone was super friendly and polite. The owner has put a lot of thought into the layout and details of the whole hotel. The room are expansive, very comfortable and immaculately clean. The private balconies offer great views over the picturesque rice fields and beyond to the lake. The gardens are teaming with birds. The pool is well maintained, and very welcome after a long journey. The food was super fresh and very tasty, home cooked in a very clean open air kitchen. The owner arranged our Yala safari. We had a very enjoyable stay, in hide sight we should have stayed longer.

Host was amazing! Went above and beyond for us. Price also included a delicious dinner and breakfast - worth the money just for that alone. Host also sorted out our safari and let us check out late after this. Would 100% recommend this property.

Great place in Lake Yala, far from city center. It feels like you are staying in the middle of the savanna. There are few huts in the complex so it's really quiet, low light pollution so stargazing at night is an option. There is a gate you can use to access Yala lake to see buffalos and walks at sunset, really cool. There were some friendly guardian dogs around and the staff was very nice, always available 24x7.

We stayed here for three nights and it was wonderfull! A lovely host, a very nice room and fantastic surroundings. Randy took us three times on a tour (for free) where he explained us a lot about the region, the plants and the animals. It is a good place for bird watching! It is a quiet place, but still a good spot for doing a safari at Yala. At the evening he and his wife cook local dishes with own products from the garden. An absolut recommendation, especially when you want to see more than Yala NP.

The couple that run Lavender Home Yala Safari are absolutely lovely and really welcoming. We stayed 2 nights in the family room and it was spacious and clean. The breakfast and dinner were delicious, especially the Devilled Prawns. Their laundry service was quick. They also helped us organise our Yala safari with one of their regular drivers and he was great. We got very lucky and spotted a leopard up close as it crossed the road.

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 ☹️

Basic rooms but clean and good value. What was very valuable to us, was that the super cheerful host Mithi helped a lot with organizing things: transfer from Tangalle to Tissa, from Tissa to Ella, visit to Bundala NP and to Yala NP, all for fair prices. In particular, the communication about these arrangements with Mithi was swift and clear (which isn't always the case when trying to arrange things upfront with others in Sri Lanka). Also, they were happy to help out with free transport between town and hotel.

This was the cleanest place we visited in Sri Lanka. They helped us book a safari with an amazing driver for a great price. The food here was amazing. During your time in this hotel I would definetly not miss out on the opportunity to have a meal here. The hotel is really new and the ladies working here are really nice. I would highly recommend visiting this hotel for your safari to the Yala national park.

We embarked on a safari adventure with them, encountering majestic bears, elusive leopards, and graceful elephants. The hotel, nestled near a serene lake, welcomed us with the enchanting melodies of evening birdsong. Whether traveling solo or in a group, it's the perfect destination. Additionally, the expansive garden adds to the charm. We look forward to returning to Sri Lanka and reuniting with them.

The whole family was so nice to us, it was truly a highlight of our sri lankan roadtrip! We also booked safari and transportation from here.
