Het is leuk om eens wat minder luxe te overnachten. Vriendelijke man
Pros:

Prachtig uitzicht, vriendelijke eigenaar

Cons:

Het is wel primitief. Mist op de beneden kamer wel een airco

Warm en vriendelijk in een klein paradijsje
Pros:

De eigenaar was zo ontzettend aardig, hij deed zoveel moeite voor ons. Lekker sapje maken, hij heeft voor ons gekookt en ontbijt gemaakt. De jackfruit boom voor zijn huis was precies rijp en heeft hij opengemaakt en aan ons aangeboden. Hij heeft ook een ontbijtbox gemaakt en de safari geregeld naar Yala! Het verblijf staat midden tussen de rijstvelden en palmbomen. Het is een mini paradijsje!

Cons:

Eigenlijjk was alles prima. Ik zou zelf een koeling wel fijn hebben gevonden voor een flesje water.

Pros:

Super logement ! Le propriétaire est très gentil et sa cuisine est plus qu’excellente!
L'emplacement est super de part la vue qu’il offre mais aussi sa localisation pour les safaris.
Je recommande vivement!

Pros:

Jolie chambre dans une maison en bois. Dans l'ensemble assez bien et assez bien placée mais désagréablement surprise par la note finale des repas pris sur place.
Je vous conseille de demander le tarif avant de commander.

Cons:

Le tarif des repas et du safari

Preis-Leistung top
Pros:

Die Unterkunft ist einfach, aber für 1-3 Nächte vollkommen ausreichend. Frühstück ist ausreichend und auf Wunsch bereitet der Gastgeber auch Abendessen zu und organisiert eine Safari. Er ist sehr bemüht um seine Gäste. Falls man mit einem Tuktuk/Scooter/Auto kommt, es gibt eine eigene abgesperrten Parkplatz.

I was expecting better and was disappointed. I certainly wouldn't stay there again
Pros:

The upper unit verandah has a nice view out over the rice fields and across to the Stupa.

Cons:

The room facilities are very basic. No bedside light, no desk for computer, power points in inconvenient positions, no shelves, hooks or space to hang or store clothes. There is no bar fridge, so water etc can't be kept cold. .There is little or no soundproofing between the upper and lower units., so if both units occupied you'll hear every word or noise from other unit.

The meals were quite ordinary and were very much overpriced, when compared to similar meals from restaurants in nearby Tissamahara town.. The kitchen in which the meals are prepared wouldn't pass health standards. The tap water isn't drinkable, yet the proprietor tried to charge top price for bottled water. No UHT milk is provided for tea/coffee

Overall, the unit felt a bit grubby and poorly maintained. I stayed there as a solo male traveller and it was just bearable,, but i wouldn't stay there if travelling as a couple. Other places in Tissa would be nicer and represent better value.

Pros:

The room was nice, the bed was very good, the owner did everything himself, he was a very nice host, very kind and gives you a nice welcome drink, it was clean.

Cons:

The shower could use a bit more pressure and one of the 2 rooms had airconditioning and we had the one without, if you can handle the heat, it's ok, but I couldn't and had to go to another place to stay the next night. He is planning to add airconditioning to the second room as well, but now it's not there yet.

Lo recomiendo
Pros:

Es un lugar con mucho encanto. La cabaña es muy agradable y estaba todo limpio. La cama enorme y muy cómoda. El baño muy grande y limpio. La atención fue excepcional. Está rodeado de naturaleza y hay un lago cerca que es precioso y lleno de aves. Nos prepararon una cena y desayuno acorde a nuestras preferencias (vegetariano). Está cerca del parque natural de Yala para hacer un Safari.
