Our stay at this guesthouse was fantastic! The room was the best we had during our entire trip—super comfortable bed, hot water in the shower, and reliable WiFi. The owners were incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming. They prepared a delicious breakfast and snacks for our early morning safari, which was really thoughtful. We also had an amazing tuk-tuk tour around the lake, where we saw crocodiles, water buffalos, various birds, and thousands of fruit bats—such an incredible experience! On top of that, they added a special touch by decorating our bed beautifully for our honeymoon, which made our stay even more memorable. Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Tissamaharama!

Very nice and comfortable place. the staff are very well taken care of and prepare breakfast before an early safari. at the same time, the staff is also invisible, so you feel that the whole villa belongs to you (if there are no other guests). we spent most of our time on the terrace by the pool, meaning in the common area, which was very nice to be around.

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with the warmest hospitality from Sanjeewa and his family. He picked us up from the railway station and back. Moonlight is located in a peaceful and serene area surrounded by stunning greenery of rise plantations and little green islands of palm trees, which made a truly tranquil and relaxing atmosphere. The room is clean with comfortable beds and all the amenities you need for the stay. Delicious and authentic Sri Lankan cuisine for breakfast and dinner, one of the best we had in SL. His family is expirienced in safary trips, be sure you book with them, you will see all the animals and Sanjeewa will provide you with free lunch, snacks and soft drinks. Overall, we couldn't be happier with our stay, we will come back one day...

The view from the treehouse is absolutely stunning. You’ll spot all different kinds of birds, squirrels, fisherman at the lake, butterflies and even watching the clouds moving was breathtaking. Meal they prepared for me was the best I had in Sri Lanka. Owned by a lovely family who welcomed me with their generous hospitality. They went above and beyond to make my stay a memorable one. I wish I stayed longer here. Thank you, Ishalla and family!!

Amit is a lovely host with a stunning home to match. We can’t fault the cleanliness and comfort of the room we stayed in, not to mention his generous and hospitable personality. Amit greeted us with welcome beverages and arranged a private tour to Yala park with a packed breakfast. We chose to stay with Amit as his home is within close proximity to the safari park. After our safari morning, Amit organised a taxi for us to transport onto our next location. We wish we could have stayed longer! We would strongly recommend staying with Amit :)

    Wow our host was the best! He was so incredibly helpful. Fixed the aircon right away, helped us with repairs on the tuktuk and brought us cool drinks and coffee exactly when we needed it😁. The rooms are big and comfortable, with a large bed. Nice shower, quiet location. Lastly we booked an amazing safari in the National Park @ the guesthouse. Couldn't be more satisfied with this accommodation!
