Guest Houses in Tissamaharama

"It was extremely difficult to check out. They do not have the facilities for customers to use a credit card. The girl at the front desk is nice but she is over worked; she cooks, cleans, wait tables and acts as thr receptionist too. The room was not ready at 3:30. The owner does not have much understanding about working with Expedia.com. He spoke to me rudely on phone and I do not think he and his staff are properly trained in hotel buisness. It was a mess at the checkout time and they insisted...

"Guy who worked here did not speak english at all. And we didnt get our room when we arrived because the owner said there was some payment problems even tho we showed the booking refrence."

"basic guesthouse with 5 rooms and a communal room. bed was alright and came with clean bathroom. recommended to pay extra for the air con (which didn’t seem available as an option during booking) as it was really hot when we visited and the room was stuffy after awhile.

He claimed that was the Palugaha resort & also said there was no intimation from Expedia reg my booking. However, he was kind enough to arrange the room for us. After that, everything was fine....

"Check-in process very slow. Gave us wrong room & had to change rooms twice in four nights. Superior Room and the Family Room both a good size with a small bar fridge; air-conditioning & ceiling fan; comfortable king bed (made with two single beds); desk with draws; clothes hanging rack; luggage rack with small shelf underneath; bedside lamps & tables; and a shared balcony. The family room had two extra beds. We had free WiFi with ok speed, but would often drop-out due to local power problems or...

"We had an amazing stay here before going on safari at yala! Great value for money and the owners are very helpful. We had the whole place to ourselves. Pool area is fantastic and the cooked brekky in the morning was delicious and huge portion sizes. Would definitely recommend staying here!"
