Lake Wind Resort

We really enjoyed our stay at Lakewind Resort. It’s great value for money and the location is perfect if you’re planning to visit Yala. The view of Tissa Lake is absolutely beautiful, especially in the evening. The staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome throughout our stay. Would definitely recommend!

Nothing

The location over the lake was beautiful and amazing sunset and birds to watch

It’s very basic interior and bedrooms are old and needing repair. Air con was poor. TV not working and WiFi had to reconnect. Snacks and dinner menu overpriced and all 3 dishes we had were overcooked and very dry. Did give staff feedback at time.

The rooms are big and property is has good location but not maintained where you can enjoy it.

The location is good but the property is not maintained. The rooms are basic and feel its not worth the money . The real rooms are not near to the ones which are shown in pictures

The location is convenient enough to visit Yala National Park. Everything else I rate poorly.

I do not recommend! The interior of the hotel looks much better in the photos than in reality. During our stay, there was no water for several hours, the chargers for the sockets were worn out, the electricity kept flashing in order to charge. The water in the pool was disgusting to swim in. You could hear any noise in the corridor. The beds were worn out and it was tragic to sleep in them. The doors, both in the room and in the bathroom, were worn out, you can see the other side through the cracks. I also did not like the attitude of the staff - if you do not like it, you can leave, when you arrive late, there is simply nowhere to go. So, if you can, bypass this hotel.

Yes

Bei unserer Ankunft konnten wir zwischen Zimmern im Erdgeschoss oder im 1. Stock wählen. Wir entschieden uns für die 1. Etage wegen der phantastischen Aussicht auf den See. Die Zimmer waren geräumig, das Personal war freundlich und das besonders leckere Essen wurde auf der herrlichen Terrasse serviert. Wir waren angenehm überrascht vom morgendlichen Weckruf, damit wir die Abfahrt zu unserer gebuchten Safari nicht verpassten. Toll, dass es Pooltücher gab.

Ich habe noch nie solch eine schmutzige Dusche in einem Hotel gesehen, sie muss sehr lange nicht gründlich geputzt worden sein. Bei unserer Reklamation versprach man, jemanden vorbeizuschicken. Leider kam niemand. Der Kühlschrank im Zimmer war deutlich verschimmelt.

Good and chilling place. Well behaved and friendly staff. Good for a family outing. Nice lake ahead. overall it felt like a home to me. the climate over there will make you romantic.

Место рядом с озером и недалеко от парка. Ужин нормальный. Полы чистые.

По фотографиям красивый номер и отель. В реальности номер очень потрепанный, со штор падали клопы в большом количестве, стены грязные, много москитов, хорошо, что с собой было специальное средство. Наш номер с двумя комнатами для семьи отдали другим постояльцам до нашего приезда, взамен дали за те же деньги два отдельных номера. Но в этом отеле на столько страшно, что я никогда бы отдельно не положила бы спать ребенка одного в отдельном номере. Замок на дверях это просто декоративный элемент. Не было сил уже отказываться от второй комнаты, в пути были 12 часов на машине. Вроде бы персонал старался угодить, одеяла по запросу принесли. Но ситуацию это не сильно меняло. Сидушку унитаза нужно было держать, она падала. Электричество за время нашего визита (5 часов в отеле) выключили раз 10, зато был певец, который до 11 ночи пел восточные песни, не всегда попадая в ноты. Попросили организовать нам сафари. Хотели , чтобы был помимо водителя гид. Обещали, что будет, денег за него вперед взяли, но приехал только водитель. По просьбе деньги за гида вернули, но настроение было испорчено. В это время года (август) в парке мало животный - сухой сезон, поэтому сафари тоже не понравилось, 5 слонов, 3 крокодила 2 маленьких варана. Много буйволов и павлинов, обезьяны. С леопардами не повезло. Если ехать в эту сторону, то в сезон. Еще в отеле висела табличка, что бассейн не работает, близко подойти не успели к бассейну, но издалека с балкона он выглядел зеленым. Ужин был нормальный. Из 5 отелей на Шри Ланке, это был худший, куда не хотелось бы вернуться.

Location and amazing view

Everything is perfect

Всё было великолепно! Расположение, завтрак отличный. Номер большой и приятный.

The place was just better than we expected for this price. Large very comfortable air conditioned well furnished. What a great asset to this city so nicely maintained. a beautiful lake going front.

Enthusiastic owner who's always keen for a chat and to help with any arrangements we needed. Peaceful location and our comfortable, spacious room. nice place with views to the lake

the very welcoming reception, the safe and security and family-oriented vibe, or the very comfortable beds. It was a very nice stay. Thanks to all, specially the manager. who is always smiling and ready to make your stay better.

The property was well maintained, room was very clean. Staff was very polite. Loved the garden and the location to town.

The location is just a few minutes away from shopping, historic landmarks, and restaurants. On our last day they were even kind enough to prepare us box breakfast as we had to leave early in order to make it to the safari before the crowds came. Loved out stay Highly recommend

We loved this trip, we saw so much, there is just tons of different wildlife in Sri Lanka We stayed here mainly to go on the Yala safari, and the location was perfect for that. Big thanks to owner and the front desk for all the help. Really grateful!

Had a really nice stay here. The view of the lake from the room was beautiful, and the staff were very kind and helpful. got injured while going there. the hotel staff gave great support and even arranged a doctor to come, which we really appreciated.

Great Stay We had a wonderful stay! The lake view from the property is absolutely amazing, especially during the evening sunset – truly a picture-perfect moment. The location is also ideal for those planning to visit Yala Safari, as it’s very close by, and the hotel even arranged a jeep safari for us, which was super convenient. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with a smile. While the rooms were a bit small, they were very quiet, clean, and neatly maintained, making it a comfortable place to relax after a long day. Highly recommended

The location and lake view was amazing .food was nice and the Staff was really helpfull.

They need more attention to clean the outside balcony and furnitures, balcony fence was not stable not feel safe for especially you have children .need new door locks for Family rooms have really old doors with almost broken door locks.

The location is superb. It's a lakefront property with all the rooms arranged with lake view. Has a nice swimming pool where you can enjoy the lake view while relaxing. There's a big tree in the middle and a nice deck overlooking the lake, where you can enjoy your tea in the evening watching the sunset. And the staff is super friendly too. It is totally worth the money you pay.

Friendly staff, good facilities and great service. It was clean. great view !

A little bit more maintenance would be good

We used the hotels as a base for a safari tour and it was an ideal base. The location is great, being a short walk (1500m) out of Tissa. Lake Wind Resort is a beautiful heritage building that has had life injected again by new management. The team could not have been more helpful and attentive. We had a few minor issues, such as a very minor leak (understandable as the build has recently had work done), but the team addressed promptly and properly. Don’t let that put you off because the hotel was very clean, comfortable and had AC, cold fridge and served good food. Breakfast on the veranda was memorable, it is such a beautiful setting, the omelette and fruit was delicious and so well presented. We walked along the lake each evening and enjoyed seeing the locals spending time and having fun there. I have added a few photos for information. We really enjoyed staying at the hotel and wish the team well as they definitely looked after us.

Excellent and truly magical experience. We stayed in the lake wind resort - the design and location of these are incredible and wonderful staff. Do not hesitate to book this.

We had a great time here. The hosts were kind and demonstrated true Sri Lankan hospitality. the food with a pure sri Lankan touch. (specially the rice & curry)

Very calm environment, Friendly staff Cozy comfortable rooms. Well maintained wash rooms and wonderful lake. i could see all the day so relaxing and kind of meditation.

Set in a beautiful location, the owners were super kind and helpful. Right next to the lake, very clean, cozy and The breakfast was really nice.

Super large bedrooms, classy shower area, a sparkling clean & a well maintained property with tasteful interiors. friendly and helpful staff. All in all very very nice stay!!

location & breakfast ; staff was helpful

needs renovation desperately.. bed in the room was creaking loudly and walls had holes, bathroom had paint coming out Food menu was limiting for veg options. Dinner buffet was cancelled due to low no. of counts at last moment. we had oldies with us and had to make do with whatever was available nearby

Really horrible experience with them. We had booked this place and the hotel had confirmed our booking earlier but when we landed there, they asked us to move to another hotel of theirs which was little far, in an isolated place, and no where near the lake.. They clearly said this is the only option we have - take it or leave it The hotel was clearly mis-selling on booking.com. They are showing pictures of one hotel and booking in another. It's a clear fraud and the hotel should be delisted.

Bad beds and dirty linen, the room was dirty and had cobwebs in places, no controller for the A/C, did not get the room we booked. Food cold at the buffet at dinner. omelet undercooked at breakfast sent it back to get cooked further and it came back the same.

Amazing view, friendly staff and clean accommodation! Location Easy to find *Very Good and Satisfying Breakfast *Nice lake view. you can spend a well romantic stay.

Great accommodation and staff made my trip even better. Owner is cool and helpful. Has great balcony to relax morning and evening. this was the best one by far

The staff was great but the hotel was in very bad shape. We left after 2 hours and had to discuss our full refund with the hotel owner for 2 days before getting the full refund. (He only caved in because we sent him pictures of the room). Im sure it has potential, but it needs a lot of work.

There is very nice big tree in garden.

The room was dirty and the equipment was old. I was specifically angry that we ordered accommodation with 10 out of 10 reviews in booking and the reality was horrible as you can see on my photos. On the end I found some 10% extra on my bill and when I asked I get the answer that it is policy. When I should them the booking.com reservation they get the 10% out but if I wouldn’t look properly …

Very good food, comfy beds, rooms cleaned regularly. u must take a visit when you are in down south. specially the morning view

Finest and friendly hospitality from hotel staff. The room was modern, spacious and spot clean. Excellent location with easy access to different places of interests. lake view was amazing.

Great layout and very well equipped. Really accessible location. Very friendly and helpful staff. the restaurant offers a large choice of dishes.

The location is in a stunning Lakeside with the most beautiful rooms with all amenities and a deck overlooking the Lake. The scenery that is seen during the sunset is mesmerizing and you keep on wanting for more. The staff was very friendly and courteous and the welcome we received were beyond what we could have ever expected. The food was amazing with many great choices.

As described, swimming pool, lake view, great staff
