River Side Cabana

"On était venu pour réaliser un Safari et on a ete vraiment hyper content de la qualité du Safari organisé par l'établissement. Dilanka, notre chauffeur a ete vraiment top! Du pickup au retour le soir il a assuré toute la journée. Le repas fourni était délicieux. On a vu des léopards, des éléphants, serpents, crocodiles et de splendides oiseaux... Les infrastructures de l'hostel étaient simple et le patron très arrangeant, il nous a donné d'excellents conseils."

"Honnêtement tout, l'endroit, le personnel est adorable, serviable, c'est un endroit au calme où on peut observer la faune et la flore, singe, varan, oiseaux, crocodile etc...le genre de lieu où on resterait un bon moment!🙂...il propose des balades au bord du lac et organise aussi le safari pour Yala. Un excellent séjour!"

"Hostel basique donnant directement sur la rivière. Possibilité de prendre un repas et réserver un safari. Accueil sympathique et aide précieuse."

"Humidité et moustiques (mais les lits sont tous équipés d'une moustiquaire). Éloigné du centre de Tissa mais proche de la rivière."

"I don’t often leave reviews but this deserves one -I had a really great stay at Riverside Cabana. The room was clean and comfortable, right on the river. There were a few mosquitoes as expected by the water, but the mosquito nets and the little incense burners (coils) they provided worked well. The wildlife around the property was cool too. Early in the morning I saw a couple of crocodiles in the river, monkeys, several birds, and even a water monitor. The highlight was two toucans that sat in a tree right in front of me for ages — incredible to watch. The family who runs the place are really lovely, but the best part of my stay was the host, Dimu. He truly looked after me and went out of his way to make sure I had a good experience. He took the time to show me a few cool local spots on his scooter. Nothing was too much trouble. What a legend. Highly recommended if you want a relaxed stay close to nature."

"We had a great stay and even received a free room upgrade. The upgraded room was surrounded by nature, with birds everywhere very peaceful and beautiful to sleep in. We also did a safari with the hotel and were lucky to see a leopard. The driver was excellent and avoided crowded areas, which made the experience much more enjoyable. Highly recommended for both the stay and the safari."

"Really cute cabana, different from other hostels i usually stay at! The hosts were great, the food amazing…. The host arranged the safari tour for a reasonable price and the entire family was just super lovely!"

"Not the property fault but since it’s a cabana it had lots of bugs so if you don’t like bugs it might be hard for you to enjoy."

"Nice place driven by nice people. The rooms are basic and not the cleanest I have tried, but for the price overall very good. In addition the hostel can arrange Yala safari for a very decent price with good guide!"

"Our stay was absolutely magical! Waking up to the sounds of the animals and the river felt like stepping into another world. The owner is incredibly kind and attentive, he even made a cake for my friend’s birthday and helped us with transportation and planning our safari, which was unforgettable. The food was delicious, and our room right in front of the river allowed us to see several crocodiles both during the day and at night. Cozy cabanas, peaceful surroundings, and wonderful staff make this a truly special place to stay."

"Beautiful place right next to the river, great views for birds, lovely natural setting and good location. Very comfortable and clean, big bathroom. Dimu is a good host, super helpful, and organised 2 brilliant trips to Bundala and Yala national parks for us. Highly recommend!"

"The tree house is beautiful and surrounded by so much nature. The owner and his family were so welcoming and helpful. The owner took me for free to the lake to see the bats and was full of recommendations of things to do. I booked my safari through him and the driver was very knowledgeable. I heard stories about the park being overrun by jeeps with queues to see the animals. The driver always managed to keep us away from the other tours whilst still seeing all the animals - sloth bear, elephants and a jaguar. The owner also took me to see another hostel he has just on the edge of Yala park. Unfortunately I did not have the time to stay there but I definitely will return to stay there and experience the raw nature."

"For me so everything was perfect"
