Just everything. Really nice apartment, specially equipped for western turists, with hair dryer, toilet brush, drinking water, big room and bathroom, with big patio in front of the room, plus swimming pool. What else can you wish more. It was the best experience during my trip in Sri Lanka. Big bonus was also Janaka, resort manager who organized Safari in Yala for us.

Gayan was a fantastic host and he does so much for his guests, e.g. getting you to places close to his location and pick up again, a short evening lake tour, organize different things upon requests of guests, etc. all without additional costs. Highly recommended!

Extremely enthusiastic owner ready to bend over backwards to make the client happy. Able to arrange safari trips, scooter rentals, take you to bus station etc. Excellent home cooked dinner by owner's wife, a true masterchef, food for two could feed six, worth the value of the stay alone. Awesome Welcome & Farewell drinks, take away breakfast ready at 5:30 for our early morning safari trip, couldn't ask for more. Would rate 11 out of 10!!

We had the pleasure of staying at the Elegant Lake House during our Sri Lanka trip, and it left us with indelible memories. From the moment we arrived, Randy and his family greeted us with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. The guesthouse's idyllic lakeside location created beautiful mornings and evenings. The rooms was spacious, clean, good AC, and tastefully decorated, offering all the comforts one could ask for. Randy went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. He were incredibly attentive and always ready to assist with any request. He organized enriching experiences like a village visit, pottery session, and a captivating lake tour. His extensive knowledge of birds added an extra layer of wonder to our tour. The guesthouse's proximity to Yala National Park made it an ideal base for a safari adventure. In summary, our stay at this guesthouse was truly extraordinary. The blend of natural beauty, impeccable service, and super good cuisine rendered it an unforgettable experience. We can't wait to return to this hidden gem in Sri Lanka.

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 ☹️

Milshani is a host, who takes care for her guests. She organized all safaris for me in advance and each was worth the money. If it was leopards in Yala, elephants in Udawalawe or birds and crocodiles in Bundala, nature lovers will enjoy. The Sri Lankan food was exceptional, Milshani and her mother even gave me cooking lesson. The location of the homestay is away from the noise in Tissamaharama and I loved overlooking the rice fields from the veranda. Super homestay, super hosts. Would come again.

Amazing breakfast. Exceeded out expectations. Sri Lankan and continental cuisine! The hotel also arranged our Safari and the driver and guide of the safari was exceptional. He always seemed to know where animals would show up. We saw so much wildlife! His driving made us feel so safe and his knowledge about the parks flora and fauna was utterly inspiring. Thank you sooo much driver for such an amazing experience. We can only highly recommend this young man!

We stayed at Gaga Bees for two nights so that we could do the safari at Yala - it’s a perfect location for this. The accommodation is beautiful and well looked after. We had breakfast and dinner at the restaurant on site both days and the food was some of the best we have had in Sri Lanka. The staff are the best thing about the hotel - they are so friendly, kind and accommodating with anything you need. Would definitely recommend!

The food at this hotel is absolutely delicious. It was a highlight of my trip to Sri Lanka. They even arranged a safari for us, which was an incredible experience. There's a large lake nearby, currently brimming with water, so it's not advisable to swim due to the presence of crocodiles. However, the expansive garden offers a great place to relax and enjoy your time at the hotel.
