Ariya Tissa

"The rooms were super new and spacious—you could feel how fresh it was as soon as you walked in. The staff were really friendly and ready to do anything to help. I only stayed one day, but I left so happy."

"Indika and his team went above and beyond for us to make sure we had an amazing stay. Thank you so much. On the first night we arrived late and Indika prepared a dinner for us so that we didn’t have to go into town and could have more rest before the early safari start the next day. Here is where we experienced the best food we’ve had in Sri Lanka. Indika is an incredible cook! Well remember those dishes for a long time. We hope Indika starts his own cooking classes! We’ll be back! The safari was a wonderful and memorable experience. Our guide was very knowledgable about the animals and took us to the best spots. We saw leopards, elephants, crocodiles, mongoose, peacocks, so many variety of birds, buffalos, deer, and more. The room was large and comfortable and the shower was great! Modern bathroom with powerful shower and plenty of hot water."

"The rooms could have a mirror in the main room, along with hooks, and generally could be made a little more cozy with the design and furnishings. There were meant to be 2 more rooms built on the second floor but this was stopped since covid. We hope that the owner will invest in finishing these rooms very soon so that more people can come and stay at Ariya Tissa and experience what we did!"

"Delicious breakfasts and food in the restaurant. The organized safari day was very enjoyable, and the driver who took us told us a lot about birds and other animals. One day we managed to see a leopard several times!"

"Indika the manager, his wife and his team were wonderful. The rooms are fabulous with the best shower we have had since arriving in Sri Lanka (the 6th place we have stayed). The attention to detail, the cleanliness and service were excellent! The food was fantastic with every effort to go that little bit extra to make a difference.. Even the salads are made with care and difference. We had problems with our jeep the day we left and Indika did everything possible to dind a solution. We can highly recommend this establishment without hesitation. Thank you Indika and your team for everything! 🙏"

"The hosts were really nice and helpful, the food was great and on top of that the safari we booked with them was totally worth it! We even saw the leopard!"

"Wonderful staff, just two rooms at present, pretty garden with kingfishers and other lovely birds. Stylish decor (though no wardrobe or drawers). Great bathroom. Manager arranged a fabulous private safari and packed us breakfast and lunch. Four leopard spottings! The manager spent three years as a cook at the Sri Lankan embassy in Australia. The dinner he cooked us after our safari was the best we had all holiday. We wished we’d eaten there both nights."

"Super nice hosts that did everything for us to have a nice time. The food was amazing - fresh, selfmade and prepared with a lot of love. The property is a bit secluded so you feel relaxed instantly. The room was very spacious with new/modern furniture and the bathroom was incredible, especially the shower worked really well. The Safari with Nishshanka is also worth every cent. His experience really showed when looking for leopards. Other cars were going around like crazy, while he just told us: „we‘ll wait here for 10 minutes have your breakfast“. And wouldn‘t you know it, we were the first to spot the cat maybe 50m away while eating… At first we thought it might have been luck, but a very similar situation played out in the afternoon. So we’re pretty confident, he‘s the man to go to Yala with."

"Staff were amazing - so friendly and helpful. Room was spacious and clean. Location right near Yala national park."

"No mosquito nets"

"It was probably the second best room we have been in Sri Lanka. Room is tidy and clean, hot water available for the shower, wide spaces, nicely decorated. The staff is nice, especially the man who welcomed us at night, he speaks english and has a really welcoming attitude."

"Everything was good. The only thing we could suggest is to put curtains to the big room windows since some light gets in from outside lightning."
