I can't say enough great things about this homestay! They arranged our transfer from Ella and arranged a morning and afternoon safari for us. We were greeted with a delicious cold coconut water, in the coconut. We chose the breakfast and dinner option which makes so much sense because the town is a bit of a walk and after a safari all day (4:30 am to 6:30 pm) it is great to have dinner at the homestay. Both dinners we had were excellent, I think the best food we've had in Sri Lanka! They also pack a breakfast to go on your safari day because of leaving so early. When you wake up they have coffee and bananas for you before leaving. Our room was a great size, ac and hot water worked well. The owners are very kind, friendly and even drove us to the bus stop, stayed with us and made sure we got on the right bus. I highly recommend Tissa Rainbow for your stay while exploring Yala National Park, you won't regret it!

The host was incredibly friendly and helped us out with any matter we had and also organized an amazing safari for us. After we arrived he took us for a little bird tour, which was really nice. He treated us with a fresh coconut, fruits and little snacks. The hospitality was outstanding. The room and generally the whole property was clean and comfy. We felt really welcomed and enjoyed our stay! We can definitely recommend this awesome place! Thank you very much for everything, we will come back! :-)

Kethaka Aga might have been the most beautiful hotel we have stayed in during our travels in Sri Lanka. Not only was the room very comfortable, the rest of the house and garden (including garden/pool area) offered some nice places to relax as well. The staff was really nice and catered to all our needs, from doing our laundry till preparing a breakfast package at 4:30 AM to bring to our safari. Highly recommended!

The owners were very friendly and helpful with everything we needed. The location is right by the lake and the view is fantastic. The place is very well kept with a lot of love and attention to details like beautifully arranged plants. We had dinner and breakfast there, both were absolutely delicious, better than in many restaurants!

No-frills lodging with the basic amenities (WiFi, shower etc.) working perfectly. AC was good too, but we opted for the ceiling fan instead. View to the rice paddies are pretty. They also arranged a good value Yala safari for us in a private jeep with pick up and drop off at the lodging. We spent the entire day in the park from opening to close and managed to see lots of animals, including leopards. Although we opted for room without breakfast, on the safari day, we got a takeaway breakfast package with sandwiches, fruits and water. I would highly recommend this place and the tours if you only come to this area for safari (Yala, Udawalawa, Bundala).

We could not be happier with our stay here!! We decided to stay here because we wanted to do a Yala Safari. We decided to use them for the tour and had the most amazing safari with Thilka! There was so much rain before our stay that block 1 actually had to close, we were so bummed that we wouldn't be able to see a lot of the animals we wanted because of the rain, but we saw them all even a leopard! The room was super comfortable! We also had two amazing dinners here and the best breakfast! Highly recommend to anyone visiting sri lanka! The hospitality is unmatched and you will experience a once in a lifetime safari!
