EKHO Safari Tissa

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it! The location is fantastic, right on the lake bank, surrounded by beautiful nature and offering stunning views, especially at sunset. The pool area is also lovely, with amazing scenery all around. The food was – generous buffets with plenty of delicious options, and the opportunity to enjoy a barbecue with tables set right by the lake made the experience even more special. A big thank you to the staff, especially Sachini at reception, who was both professional and incredibly kind, making us feel welcome from the very beginning. The room had a nice view, with strong water pressure (a rare luxury in Sri Lanka), good ac. The hotel is organisibg safaris and even preparing packed meals to take away (optional) Overall, this hotel combines comfort, natural beauty, excellent service, and thoughtful details to create a truly memorable stay.

I’m so happy to share my feedback about Eco Safari Hotel! The entire experience was peaceful and relaxing. The rooms were exceptionally clean and hygienic, creating a very comfortable atmosphere. A special mention goes to Ms. Sachini at the reception—she gave a wonderful first impression with her polite and friendly attitude. Pavesha from the restaurant staff was also incredibly helpful, always attentive to guests’ needs. The food was absolutely delicious, a real highlight of the stay! The swimming pool area was well maintained, and lifeguard Sashmitha was very friendly and welcoming, always with a beautiful smile. Overall, full credit goes to the amazing staff and the management. It truly was a five-star experience!

The staff were lovely! Warm and welcoming, helpful and efficient. Everyone we had contact with were great, in particular Sashini, Puspita, and Sahara. The pool is very nice, and the views over the lake are stunning, especially around sunset. The restaurant is nice and offers both a la carte, as well as a buffet option. We tried both options and we were very happy with the food and service. The rooms are very spacious, with a seating area and large bathroom. We were lucky enough to have a great view over the lake. The rooms are somewhat tired though, with some peeling paint, broken doors etc. Our bed was broken, but it was fixed within 30 mins of us reporting it. The hotel staff immediately said it would be fixed, if not fixed they would either change the beds or we could move rooms; which is excellent service.

Hotel was great and looks really impressive when you arrive at reception.

This place seems to be a serious hotel in the past, and now way after its peak. It's not neglected or dirty - but could use a serious modern lift up. It still offers an efficient reception that can arrange safari tours and taxis for you, it has a decent swimming pool with lake views which was fun, as there's not much to do in town except for safari. We did not have any meal there and frankly did not notice a dining room to know if it's even possible, but they packed a generous breakfast for our 5am safari departure. Value for money is OK. Nice views to the lake from the room. A walking distance to the best restaurant in town - Chef Lady, highly recommended.
