Our stay
We enjoyed our stay. Staff is excellent. Very friendly. Our room sink filled water, for both days our TV was not working at all. Amenities are not in good condition for the price we paid. It was an old building.

8/10 Very good

Property is well maintained and staff are friendly. Just overnighted there and didn't get to use the facilities properly. Menu needs improvement. Probably they need to hire a better chef

We liked this hotel but some of the guests were extremely rude and noisy, pushing in front of us at breakfast (which was extremely good), and being generally loud. If we were to stay in that area again we would choose an hotel tat did not cater for foreign tour groups.
Mark, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Comfortable hotel. Nice view, but is a little worn
Was expecting a bit better, based on reviews and photos. The place is a bit worn down, especially the rooms. The view out to the lake is nice and the reception/lobby area is comfortable. Rooms are what let it down. They are looking a bit worn and need a facelift. Sliding window/doors on the room were quite dirty and needed a good clean. Some walls had cracks and stains. Bathrooms are a little smelly. Staff are a little slow and took a while for them to check us in and out. There is probably better options for the money.

The property is amazing - grand and beautiful. The architecture is very good and so is the view. You can spend a lot of time around the property and enjoy it. Staff is not very helpful - had to ask for a pool towel 3 times still did not get it. So, that's something they can improve upon. They do not have a buffet breakfast, so the staff provides a fixed menu. Overall, its nice and beautiful but staff can be more helpful and they can pay little more attention to attending to the guest.
Haris, 1-night trip

Las fotos del alojamiento engañan un poco. La habitación no estaba muy limpia. No hubo buena comunicación de parte del hotel, no nos avisaron de que tenían un evento la noche que llegamos, lo que no hizo posible cenar en el alojamiento y tampoco pudimos usar la piscina. Las vistas son bonitas.

Very good service! Ufortunately ended up getting quarantined and had to use the hotel for my quarantine... They took good care of us and called us several times a day to make sure we had food and water or needed anything. Impressive!

Great stay and great facilities
We had a great stay at EKHO Safari Tissa. We were upgraded to a suite with lakeview upon arrival. The facilities were in great condition, and the swimming pool (quite) clean. Dinner and breakfast bouffet with lots to choose from. The only negative is that the safe did not work.

Great hotel on the lake in Tissamaharama
Hotel is in a great location right on the lake. Rooms are nice and clean. Recommend staying in the lake view room. From bed you have a view of the lake. Langur monkeys playing on property. Theres an island just off the hotel in the lake which is teaming with wildlife. Room service was prompt and delicious. Good pool. Comfortable bed and pillows. Amazing water pressure from rain shower. Great loungers in front of pool to watch the sunset over the lake. Down side Checkin process seemed longer than it should have. No balcony in room Bathroom needs some update Walkways are loud becuse of the A/C units are attached on the side of them

Could have been better!!
Stayed one night at Ecko safari, Tissa. The overall the stay was pleasant but they can improve on their b'fast menu aswell as room cleanliness. Towards the end on the stay we didn't have water in our WC, luckily for us we had finished using it!
