Very nice place to get a rest. Rooms very clean with AC and fan. Food is very good (sri lankan curry is, so far one of the best since we arrive). The owner is nice and helpful, you can ask him tips, book taxi and prepare your morning safari with a very good company and keen driver😃.(we saw 3x the leppards)

Stunning luxurious hotel with spacious comfortable rooms with huge beds and all the amenities you need. Great setting next to the lake and close to the yala national park where we saw leopards and elephants and many more . The best welcome and lovely staff . We were spoiled with a candlelit dinner by the lake with Chef Indika cooking up a beautiful Sri Lankan dinner and breakfast but also with western dishes for my kids . Chamath took care of all our needs and made some great recommendations . Our favorite place to stay in Sri Lanka. We wish we had stayed longer

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.

I loved staying with Randy and his family. His place is next to a beautiful lake full of wildlife and they have a beautiful garden full of birds. The room was big and comfortable and they were really attentive and made me feel like home. Randy showed me around the area and took me to see local crafting processes. He knows a lot about the culture and history of the Tissamaharama and took me to beautiful places. I really recommend staying in their place and taking some time to see the surroundings.

This place has a nice view of the lake, and you can spot many animals without even going out! They offer a menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with very delicious options. I liked all the food I tried. Some of the juices are made with fresh fruits from their own garden. The staff can help you arrange the safari to Yala National Park and other tours if you need it. And there's a tuk-tuk available for going places for a reasonable price. The place belongs to and is run by a local family. They were very kind to me personally. :)

It should be on everyone’s itinerary!

It should be on everyone’s itinerary! The safari was amazing- go for the all day! And Jami Riverside Hotel is run by a wonderful host couple and the accommodations were comfortable, clean and affordable. They will make all the safari arrangements with the park for you if you wish.

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.

We had one of our best stays of our whole trip in Sri Lanka here. The owner was so kind and helpful. He drove us around to see birds and bats in the local area, which is a protected wildlife park. He even drove us into town to get food and offered to take us to the bus station on our last day. The room we stayed in was clean and spacious, with AC. The breakfast was delicious. We booked our Yala safari through the hotel, and this was awesome. If you're coming to Tissamaharama for the safari (or not), I definitely recommend staying here!

We had an amazing time at tissamaharama. The room was super clean and comfortable. We got to participate at cooking and learned so many new things about sri lankan food! 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.
