The owner was super hospitable, welcomed us with a couple of cold coconuts, always with a smile and trying to help. The room and the bathroom was super clean and it’s very close to the lake by walk and also you have the amazing trees with the Fruit vats 5 min walking distance. The location is far from town but better this way because is more quiet. You can also book the safary with him and he also offers food. Súper recommended!!!!

It was a wonderful stay, from the first day I arrived the attention of the owners was incredible, they helped me with all the questions I had and helped me book my safari, which by the way is a very serious and good company. The room was spectacular with impressive views, very relaxing. I spent some incredible days accompanied by this beautiful family. The food they served us for both breakfast and dinner was delicious, the truth is that I would have liked to stay a couple more days

Offering a restaurant and free bikes, MOON LIGHT Guest House is located just 1.1 km from the Tissamaharama Bus Station and 3.2 km from the beautiful Tissa Lake. Free WiFi access is available in this self-catering accommodation.

The service. It was fantastic and better than some 5 star hotels. Sanjeewa and his aunt went out of the way to take care of me and my family and prepared some delicious authentic Srilankan food as lunch and breakfast. The property itself is so well kept and faces the rice paddy field. We also booked the safari through them and got to see so many animals. Because we traveled with out 80 yr old grandma, they were extra careful which really helped. If we visit again, we will surely only stay at this Guest house.

    The hosts were super nice and very helpful! The room was very spacious, super clean and with a wonderful view on the rice paddies! The bathroom was also very clean. The couple that is managing the homestay offered us juice on arrival which was very appreciated and they even organised a packed breakfast for our morning safari. We had dinner twice at the homestay and it was very delicious. Would definitely recommend.

    Without doubt one of the favorite homestays I stayed during my time in Sri Lanka! Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the family. We had three great days here, which obviously also added up to the experience. I truly enjoyed walking through the village. The scenery was beautiful and it was a relieve to walk in such a quiet and peaceful environment.
