Reviewed By 461normanj

The accommodation was beautiful, convenient. The hosts arranged the safari for us at a very good price and even prepared lunch and breakfast to take on the the safari. The safari itself was a great experience and we saw 5 leopards, 4 elephants, a crocodile, many peacocks and lots of monkey. What we particularly liked is that our driver was trying to find the spots with less people and often went in a different direction as the “hurds” of other jeeps. Nonetheless we spotted even more animals than some of the other safari guests that we talked to during lunch. Definitely go to La safari Inn and ask them to arrange everything!!

The Rain Tree Hotel

The Rain Tree Hotel and Restaurant in 82600 Tissamaharama Sri Lanka

Hotel with a view

Reviewed By Debgreen_11

Recently spent two nights at this lovely little hotel. Spectacular views from the rooftop terrace across Tissa Lake. Amazing at sunset to watch hundreds of flying foxes (bats) migrate for the evening right alongside the rooftop. Not to be missed. Staff very hospitable - did everything they could to get the FA cup final on for us and provided us with a seating area and snacks throughout. All staff very friendly and do whatever they can to ensure a great stay. Owner, Upali, ensures that all needs are met and provides lots of information related to the local area. We had a personally cooked Sri Lankan buffet which was delicious cooked by Chef Dharme who took the time to explain what he had cooked and how.

V Cabanas

Best stay in Sri Lanka

Reviewed By pedrofT58OT

Best stay in whole Sri Lanka! Everyone is so kind, helpful and loving. We had the most fantastic food, made fresh to order by the family. We only ate once in the village, but we quickly decided to eat the rest of our stay at V Cabanas. We planned to do 2 safari's organized by V Cabanas, which was an excellent decision. We saw so much wonderful birds in Bundala park, and had an amazing driver which knew so much about the wildlife. The second day we went to Yala, within an hour we saw a family of elephants and a leopard. This was an amazing stay and definitely would stay here again!

STUPID RECEPTIONIST

Reviewed By dulithamqs

It was my second visit. We had a great time at Kodigahawewa back in 2019. During that time, the Coordinator “Mahesh” was a friendly guy who worked hard to fulfill our requirements. Last week, we visited the facility again thanks to Mahesh and his service we had back in 2019. The experience we had when we checked out was horrible. It was a crazy receptionist who didn't know how to respect visitors. As far as I understand, she is acting over the owner and doing whatever she pleases, even ignoring orders from the top management. The other staff, however, were really helpful. I would not recommend visiting Kodigahawewa as I am sure that the STUPID RECEPTIONIST will ruin your vacation.

A sad result of covid-19. Very dirty

Reviewed By G1148YNsc

A sad result of covid-19. We were to stay two nights but had to leave the place after a few hours. The place was filthy and the pool was completely green. The room was dirty that had not been cleaned. There were insects all over it. Thousands of ants and we know it is normal in Sri Lanka. There were giant beetles on the table in the restaurant.

a little mess

Reviewed By luciamY5425DZ

We were staying in the tree house. It is not a very spacious room, but it is original. Meals and breakfast are not abundant, not bad, but I think it were one of the worst during our three week stay in Sri Lanka. The staff does not speak English fluently and communication was messy, so there were some service mistakes. The landscape is quite beautiful, right in front of the lake and with a pool to cool off. The staff did not wear a mask all the time and they had to be told to wear it in the heat of the wave of covid in the country and with the confinement of the population.

Thissa

The rooms are clean. The owner (Lasenthe) is very friendly and helpful. He organised a safari trip for me for a very fair price. There are some very good restaurants around the corner (Lasenthe, will show you) and some very cheap but still delicious ones about 2 km to the north.
