Doesn't worth it
Pros:

The location is right opposite the lake and convenient

Cons:

No one responded to my inquiry message, either on booking.com or WhatsApp.
The sound proof is not good. I could hear the TV from my room.
There's no hot shower.
The bed took too much space in the room, it's not well designed.

얄라 국립공원 사파리 최고
Pros:

Tissa 호수 바로 아래 있어 조용하고 새들의 천국 호수 전망도 좋았음. 아침 저녁 음식도 맛있고 가격도 무난했음. 특히 호텔 사장이 친절했고 얄라 국립공원 사파리 접근성도 좋았음.

Cons:

호텔에 수영장이 없어 아쉬웠고, 3층이 완성되면 호수 뷰가 더 좋아질 것임.

Подходит для короткого ночлега непривиредливым туристам
Pros:

Хорошее местоположение - по дороге ав Ялу

Cons:

Номер неуютный, не стоит своих денег. Еду ждали 1,5 часа, в итоге всё перепутали, приготовили не то, что заказывали.

Nice lake view but poor room like living in wild. 😆
Pros:

Good location at lake side and restaurant nearby.

Cons:

The room can find different inserts, particularly in the toilet ants are easy found and busy running around the toilet wall whole day, shower water is little warm to cold.

Great place to stay in Tissa
Pros:

The owner and staff are lovely and all went out of their way to make sure I enjoyed my 2 nights in Tissa. I rented a bike from them and also went on a boat safari with the owner. It was really nice! I also had 3 meals in the restaurant and really enjoyed them. (It was great to have so many vegetable options as well.) I'd happily stay here again!

Cons:

Nothing

Nice place with spacious rooms, and a great host🤩
Pros:

Veldig praktisk og fin utsikt og fine store rom🙏
Vertene er veldig hjertelige og hyggelige og hjelpsomme🌹

Cons:

Jeg er ikke så glad i trafikk, så litt mye bilstøy, men ikke voldsomt. Vi reiste med små barn 3 år, og beliggenheten og hotellets oppbygning gjør det vanskelig med den aldersgruppen. Ellers ikke noe problem. Alt teknisk virker bra🙂

Bonita vista al Lago
Pros:

Excelente ubicación, cerca del lago. Se puede ir caminando a la Estupa 🙂. El dueño fue muy atento, nos preparo desayuno para llevar ya que el día siguiente tuvimos que viajar muy temprano. La habitación fue sencilla pero correcta.

Cons:

Las camas fueron muy grandes para el espacio del cuarto, casi ocupaba todo el espacio.

Les basiques de l’hôtellerie ne sont pas là
Pros:

Vue sur le lac, c’est tout.

Cons:

Propreté de la chambre, des parties communes et autour de l’hôtel
Accueil - première fois qu’il faut que l’on demande par 2 fois les clés de notre chambre
Petit déjeuner pas frais

Pros:

Die Lage - siehe Bilder. Wir reisen durch Sri Lanka nur mit Linienbussen - Haltestelle 350 entfernt. Wir haben einen Direkt-Schnell-Bus nach Matara erwischt. Die Lage - gegenüber der Vogelinsel von Tissi, die Stupa in Sichtweite. Die Straße sehr ruhig - das Restaurant, tolle Aussicht, gutes frisches Essen.

Pros:

This is a very basic hotel, but it has a convenient location and offers beautiful views. We rented a room to take a nap before heading out on our safari. The staff was welcoming and responsive to our needs.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

安さを求めて利便性重視ならいいかも。
Pros:

湖のすぐ横でスローな感じで非常に良いです。バイクも自転車もレンタルできて便利です。オーナーの息子さんが日韓住んでいたことがあって韓国語と日本語を少し話せるので英語苦手な人はいいかもしれません。

Cons:

部屋が綺麗かと言われれば綺麗ではないですがこのお値段ではこんなもんかなって感じです。バックパッカーとか慣れてる人には許容範囲かなと。お湯も普通に出ますし。

The views, bird watching from terrace, perfect location
Pros:

Perfect location. The views, on one side Tissa lake and on the other side stunning view on dagoda and rise fields. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Breakfeats are another level, fresh, tasty, every day different fresh juice and the portions are huge. My favorit part of the stay, just chilling with a cup of tea and watching birds and other animals. Perfect base for Safari in Yala and Kataragama visit.
P.S. The hotel manager even provided me with his own binoculars for the safari. I very appreciate that.

Cons:

Although clean and tidy, the rooms and bathrooms would deserve little renovation.
