Everything was perfect. Staff was very welcoming. We have got free drinks upon arrival, pancakes with tea and bye-bye gifts during our stay. We had room with air conditioning and private balcony for around 38$ per night which was definitely worth the price paid. Due to trees you couldn’t see the sea. Private fridge-freezer in the room as well. Nice and comfortable bed and bedding. There was one nice window to the garden view also. Room was much better than we expected by pictures. We had all kitchen equipment, tea, coffee, sugar in the room. We have got extra beach towels which was changed every day. Great constant hot water. I am very fussy but could not found any cons. Definitely recommend if visiting Unawatuna. Beach just across the road, 1 minute walk. Place is safe as well because equipped with cameras and safe for money in the room.

The staff were absolutely amazing, so friendly and polite, checking in and making sure I had everything I needed. A shared fridge was also available which was perfect for my iced coffee and any leftovers from other restaurants. The room was more spacious than I anticipated with practical little touches including a huge clothes rack to dry your swimmers. A delicious home cooked continental breakfast- the best eggs I had in Sri Lanka. This stay was such good value for money for anyone looking for some quiet and affordable luxury.

The bed was a little too firm for me however I enjoy a really plush bed.

I stayed here for 6 nights as it was extremely close to the dive centre I was going to. The staff were extremely attentive throughout my stay, making sure all my needs were met. The room was spacious, clean, well loved and had constant hot water. Towels and bedding were changed during my stay and I was offered a complimentary coffee and snacks as well as a parting gift which was a lovely touch. The breakfast was nice and they have the option to do washing (good price compared to other local laundry services) The beach is just a short walk away and I was provided with beach towels at no extra cost. I felt so comfortable staying here and would recommend to anyone who wants to spend some time here, especially if you want to do your PADI course!

The main road can be noisy. This wasn’t a problem for me. Perhaps consider bringing some ear plugs if you are a light sleeper.

The family running the Guest House is amazing - so kind and hospitality focused. Always checking in to make sure everything is great. The breakfast is so good - home cooked to order, plentiful and delicious. The room is very comfortable with ac and mosquito nets. Nice common spaces to hang out outside too

Road noise can be a little loud with the busses but you get used to it - and it seems to be the same throughout town.

The hosts were lovely and always available to answer any questions we had as well as just chatting about Sri Lanka, so helpful. The room was nice with hot water and A/C and clean, we were at the back of property and there was some road noise but nothing to stop us sleeping. The location.was good and only a short walk across the road to the beach. We really enjoyed our stay here.

The lady was absolutely lovely and so helpful with tips and advice for the local area. She even gave me and my partner a gift at the end of our stay which was so sweet. The breakfast was delicious and so cheap too! £3 and you get toast, eggs of your choice, potatoes, salad, fruit and tea or coffee or juice! The beds are comfortable and it’s right next to a bus stop and the beach is a 3 minute walk.

The family taking care of the property are super kind. The service is very well done, and they are always open to answer questions about the city. the breakfast was delicious.

The facilities are very well equipped. The only unfortunate situation was staying at one of the rooms facing the main street, which gets quite busy, even during the night.

Clean and comfortable place with polite and helpful staff. You can find nice cafes, groceries, and a fruit shop near the hotel. Also it is located near Unawatuna Beach. We tried local breakfast and recommend it 100%. P.S. Towels had been nicely served before my wife sat on one of them...

The hotel is located near the road. It would be a disadvantage for someone but our sleep was well.

Absolutely everything. We were travelling north so only stayed for one night but the host could not have been more helpful and kind! The room was big with with AC and a nice shower. There was plenty of room to park our tuktuk and more! The location is perfect and walking distance to beach and restaurants.

Nothing.
