Even with A/C it was really warm at night.

Amazing pool and very good hosts. Also offering a great Safari.

Nice and luxury Place with pool. The owners are really helpful. They will also help you doing Safaris with the best Drivers for Yala Nationalpark.

If you want more food options take the Tuk Tuk to the nearest village / town.

The wonderful team at My Resort Yala made our 3 day stay a perfect experience. It has the most wonderful view across rice fields and lakes, and while off the beaten path, you can take a bike and have a nice tour around the lake in about 30 minutes and then cool off in the clean pool under palm trees. Small hotel with 4 spacious rooms, ours had one king size and one queen size bed and a very large balcony (no mosquitos ?!). Bats, peacocks, buffalos etc all in your view. Standard breakfast, lunch and dinner options, fridge with soft drinks and beer. A perfect base for safaris in Yala National Park, operated by the excellent Janaka Safari team. We also went to the Perahera in Kataragama, a most unique full moon festival (think procession with decorated elephants; 30 min Tuk Tuk ride) Easily the nicest resort/small hotel in the neighbourhood! 5***** recommendation

Not much really. Perhaps the sun beds in the pool could have a cushion (to make them more comfortable).

Great accommodation in Tissa! The rooms are spacious and clean, and have a balcony with a beautiful view to rice fields. The pool is really nice. Great value for money. The owners helped organize the full day safari. Really great tour (we saw 2 leopards) with a guide that doesn’t follow the crowds and truly explores the park. The location is not super close to centre but they have bicycles we can use (just a 20min bike ride)

Nothing, all was perfect.

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.

“I liked this property because it is clean, well-maintained, and in a convenient location. We also did a safari with them — they are absolutely professional and kind people. The host and the whole team are fantastic.”

Nothing

Our room was spacious and very clean, with mosquito nets provided. We really had everthing we could need: hair dryer, fridge, drinking water dispenser, water cooker with tea/coffee and even a small cutting board. The view from the balcony was really nice overlooking the rice fields. The garden and the pool were also clean and a nice place to relax. But the best thing about this resort are clearly the hosts! Their heart-warming, outstanding hospitality made our stay perfect. They cooked the best curries we had in Sri Lanka for us, also an amazing breakfast and had good recommendations for the area. We also booked a Full-Day Safari with them and it was the best decision ever for a Safari in Yala! So all in all a perfect stay, we would definitely come again

This is a very comfortable hotel and the family who runs it is lovely! They took me to see bats flying at sunset and cooked incredible meals. I also did the full day safari - my guide was extremely knowledgeable and respectful of the animals’ environment.

Was amazing. Host is super nice and will do anything do make your stay even nicer. You can have food at the hotel or eat out. Room was spacious and super clean! Great value for money. Also nice and clean pool and the garden is pretty.

Very clean, modern and spacious rooms. I would ABSOLUTELY go there again. You get delicious curry and extensive breakfast if you want. The village itself is not crazy, but the hotel has bikes that you can just take to go for a quick ride to the lake, a restaurant, or else. Very good starting point for tours to Yala NP which you can also book through the hotel.

We did two half day safari tours. Both guides worked very hard to show us a leopard. The second safari tour we had an awesome encounter with a leopard. It was also just the two of us. At the end of the tour the guide asked us to pay him. We were of the understanding that we were paying at the end of our stay and there was also a price discrepancy as we were the only ones on the tour and this hadn’t been disclosed to us. This made for an uncomfortable ending to what had been a great day.

My Resort Yala was clean. The pool, the grounds, the room were kept well. There was a mosquito net over the bed, a large water bottle dispenser, a kettle, a bar fridge and a safe in the room. Our room had a lovely balcony overlooking rice fields. It is a great base for Safari Tours, that Janaka arranges daily with you.

We spent amazing 4 days at yala resort. The whole complex/ building is beautiful and is very nice furnitured with everything you need at a beautiful quiet location with an amazing view at the lake. We booked a safari via the owner of the building (Janaka Jeep Safari) and he was the best safari guide with great pick up service and knowledge about the animals at yala park, far off the other safari jeeps. Next day he organized a private safari for us at Udawalwe park. It’s a family business with a very kind and welcoming family who give great tips and recommendations in the area of tisahmarrana, borrow bikes for a trip in the city and cook plenty and very tasty dinner and breakfast! All in all we had amazing 3 days and would definitely recommend!!

The only small negative is that it's a bit away from the town however the owner is more than happy to offer you a lift.

The team were fantastic lovely people who couldn't do enough for you. The owner owns a few jeep safaris and has a fantastic driver "Su" who went the extra mile to get all the shots of the animals.The room was spacious and very clean cannot recommended this place enough if your traveling just for a yala safari.

Stayed in March 2025

Not everyone spoke very well English but we managed.

Beautiful view over the ricefields, We arrived and didn't book any safari but we could go with them the next day and had a great experience. We also had really tasty food which they made for us and a very clean and good swimming pool.

Clean and comfortable hotel, the rooms are big with hot water and good wifi! The staff are lovely, we had an amazing home cooked meal for dinner. We also did the Janaka safari the hotel offers and it was an amazing experience, we saw loads of animals and our knowledgeable guide always managed to get us the best view!

We absolutely loved it here, we’ve even got a room upgrade when we arrived (thank you!!). Everyone is really nice and the food is just amazing, make sure to get your dinner here. The view to the fields & the lake is absolutely amazing! You can also rent bikes to get to the city.

Very lovely people with high standards of good quality. We had a great time in this resort: a nice big room, swimming pool, restaurant. We did safari tours to Yala NP and Bundala NP, which are close by. We (and especially our little kids) are going to miss these nice lovely people.

Nothing, keep up the high standards that you have set yourselves.

Excellent value for money. Family run accommodation who ensure that any small problems are resolved promptly. The food available in the evening was a standout feature for its quality and value. Thankyou.

Can't thing of anything

This definitely was the best stay so far during my time in Sri Lanka. The people are really friendly and take really good care of you. Food is great and the rooms spacious, very clean and have great facilities like warm water and a good shower. The environment is also really peacefull and this is a great place to do a safari at Yala (can book this at the hotel - can recommend the full day safari!).
