Everything was exceptional. The room was very spacious, clean, along with the bathroom, and it also offered a balcony overlooking the garden and the pool. The pool was also very clean, with a good atmosphere after sunset when the whole garden was lit up with various colored lights. Delicious breakfast was also included, which was packed for us and delivered to our room at 5 am on the day of our safari, the other day it was served to the cafeteria. Lunch and dinner can be ordered from the menu (western or sri lankan) which was also very delicious. However the highlight was the hospitality, every staff member was extremely helpful and kind. They even helped us with our bags, served us a welcome drink and attended to all of our needs. We will definitely come back in the future if we can. Eszter & Karim

I will give this a 10/10 out of how much the owner provided for me. The view outside is amazing, just in front of the lake. So peaceful! So the room was okay. But the best thing for me was that the owner provided me a free tour around the place, watching sunset, crocodiles, bats and owls. He also took me to the atm, supermarket, and picked me up from the bus when arriving. Everything for free. And I can also recommend going with the safari that he is providing. That guide was also amazing, experienced, and affordable.

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 a marvellous, relaxing and peaceful stay at Wild Culture. The facilities were great and we spent most of our time relaxing by the lovely and clean pool. The rooms were massive and beautifully presented. Bed was large and comfy, and air conditioning was effective. All the staff were so helpful and friendly. They organised our half day safari, where we saw leopards, elephants, crocodiles, birds, lizards, deer and water buffalo’s. They also frequently checked in on us while we were relaxing by the pool and were attentive throughout our stay. The food was excellent. We ordered a variety of dishes at lunch and dinner, and we couldn’t fault anything we tried. The breakfast was delicious and varied too. Drink options were great, including a full list of cocktails. Our whole experience was delightful and I thoroughly recommend staying here to anyone visiting Yala National Park and/or if you want a special place to relax and unwind.

Everything. There's so great. I really didn't expect it to be any better than I had anticipated. When I arrived, the owner gave me snacks and coconut water, a big room and owner tour this velliege for me. The owner prepared breakfast for me. After safari, I have watermelon, juice, and ice cream. I'm so glad that I came to Tissamaharama and stayed at this house. I was reluctant to leave Tissamaharama. On the bus, I felt very moved and shed tears. The owner takes me to the bus stop. He even texted me to confirm I was safe when I stayed next place.

We had a great experience staying here and exploring Yala. The hotel arranged two safaris for us, and both were excellent. Our guide Sampath and driver Supoon were very knowledgeable, and thanks to their experience, we were able to see leopards on both trips. They knew how to navigate the crowds and where to go for the best wildlife sightings. The hotel itself was lovely. We enjoyed the view of the beach from our cabin, and listening to the waves from the porch was a highlight of our stay. The property’s access to nature was excellent. The nearby lake was a prime spot for wildlife viewing. We saw crocodiles, wild boars, and elephants there. The staff, especially Gayan and Saman, made an effort to connect with us every day, ask how our day was, and point out wildlife around the property. We would recommend this place for anyone visiting Yala and looking for a peaceful stay close to nature.

My exhilarating trip to Sri Lanka was an incredible experience that will always remain in my memories. The pristine landscapes and beautiful nature of this country captured my heart. However, what made this trip even more special was our stay at Laya hotel. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and also the place was very comfortable and quiet at night. We happened to be there during Sinhala and Tamil new year holiday, and we decided to stay an extra night to celebrate with them. We participated in their games and festivities, and it was a great new experience. We were even honored as special guests on the second night to stay in their brand new caravan. Special thanks to the hotel general manager (Mr.Wasantha) and his deputy (Mr.Dulaj) for their hospitality.

Although i travelled alone, i did not feel lonely because the staff were extremely hospitable and went out of their way to make me feel at home.

Super politie staff, which arranged BBQ and bonfire for dinner the two nights during our stay. We also booked a full day Safari through the Hotel, which was also a very good experience. Our guide was nice and the hotel had prepared an amazing lunch for us. The trip to the hotel is bumpy, but a part of the experience.

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!

It is a holy place visited by Buddhists and Hindus alike.

It is a holy place visited by Buddhists and Hindus alike. Some Muslims also visit a mosque located in the sacred area. Buddhist usually visit the Kiri Vehera area first and then come to the Devale premises. There are circular roads to facilitate that sequence. Otherwise, one can walk to the Devale premises and then proceed to the Kiri Vehera premises. There are lot of boutiques selling various items including offerings for Devale. They are located in the town area. After that one has to cross a small bridge over the Menik River to enter the sacred area. Over the years both sides of the river have been re-organized for a better sequential experience.

Weerawila, located in a dry zone of Sri Lanka, is ideal for wildlife safaris and nature experiences. This location is especially convenient during the rainy season, as it often stays dry even when the rest of the country is experiencing thunderstorms. We chose it specifically to avoid heavy rains.

Kataragama itself is a temple town and that’s pretty much it. Other than that it’s a jumping off point for safari in yala and kumana. One day is more than enough for cultural/religious aspects. The Perahara (pageant) in July is fantastic. Be warned that it may not start till midnight and may need pre booked tickets. Also watch out for pickpockets in crowded areas around this time. The country side and the rural life as well as the wildlife is fantastic and authentic. Quite hot and sunny year round but dec to feb is more comfortable.

It definitely is an experience worth trying. The tree house has all the comforts you need but yet kept on the simple side. Don't expect much and you will get a lot. Nice food Bbq and big fire lit for you in the evening to give you a chance to relax and talk about your day activities. It was great to be left alone and the silence of the night. There were times you just felt that we were the only ones there and when you needed something the staff would magically appear

The restaurants,Roof bar,Spa's and the pool side and pool is world class with out doubt! The service was outstanding, and that is something that can really make or break a vacation. Congratulations to the Super Proactive General Manager Mr Krishanta Damunupola and his team members to include Mr Seeman and Miss Sandani(Intern) for being so accommodating at all times with oodles of dedication. We also especially liked the super-comfy room with the balcony, bed linens which were very high quality, and felt so good to slip into each night.
