A really lovely calm, relaxing, clean and quiet place to stay. I stayed 4 nights but could have stayed longer, like others guests seemed to be. Very close to the beach (once you've figured out how to get there!) yet set back away from the bustle in a pleasant garden with cool areas to lounge in The food is absolutely excellent. The 'local breakfast' one of the best ever (and they even managed to present it in an arty and cheffy way, no mean feat with string hoppers and dhal curry!) The vegetable rice n curry dinner also was delicious. Helpful, smiling staff who seem to be on duty 24/7 Comfortable bed, hot shower, tasteful stone bathroom. I hope I get to stay here again.

It's not on the main drag, which is a good thing but it's a little harder to find (until you know) and it means not such a wide choice of eating places at night. There's an excellent new place just around the corner though, serving authentic Italian dishes for a change. About 95% of the guests seemed to be of a certain nationality, not a problem, but they weren't at all friendly. Only one person even acknowledged me in the 4 days I was there, so if you're looking for someone to chat to, better bring someone with 😉 It's a wee bit pricey for Sri Lanka. But then, it's Unawatuna. it's probably worth the extra.

We loved our stay at Nor Lanka. The family size room was very spacious, and exactly what we wanted for a 4-person family; it would also comfortably fit 5. The A/C was great, and the mosquito nets were long and well-maintained. There was one bathroom with a nice shower. Communicating with the hotel via booking.com, WhatsApp, and phone was very easy and friendly. They helped us reserve a parking spot at the last minute, and graciously held our bags when we forgot to inform them of our need for early checkout. It's a very charming 3 minute walk to the beach--the location is great. Overall a great deal for the price. We will stay at Nor Lanka again if we return to Unawatuna.

Our only complaint was that we would have preferred the Sri Lankan breakfast, and weren't aware that we needed to order the night before. Our kids didn't care for the other options on the menu; however, the fruit plate was very nice.

The staff were excellent - really helpful and welcoming. The room was reasonably spacious and pleasant. It was cleaned each day and the bed was made. The wifi worked. The breakfast was excellent. The mosquito net around the bed is a good idea. The location is great, very close to the beach and shops, restaurants.

I booked the evening meal one night. The curry was disappointingly bland, so I ate out the following night. No facility to make tea in the room, which is a shame, not least because breakfast does not start until 8am. The shower would benefit from some indication as to which is the hot tap, which the cold. As it stands, it takes a while to get the temperature right.

Hotel was located in very green area, with palms, surrounded by nature, 200m from the beach Very tasty breakfast ( fruits, coffee, tea, fresh juice, all kinds of eggs, bread, sweets, marmalade, Sri Lankan breakfast option as well) was served next to the garden, in very relaxing, calm area. Rooms were clean, always with warm water, modest but nicely decorated. Staff was super friendly, helpful, smiled, always supportive. We highly recommend the hotel.

nothing, all was perfect

I liked everything! We first booked Room in another hotel but there were some problems. We then booked room At Nor Lanka and arrived 10 minutes after-everything was ready. Room was big and clean,we didn’t have problems with mosqitoes. Beach is very close,they also let you borrow towel and sunscreen for beach for free. But what I loved the most was the atmosphere;everybody was so nice and helpful,hotel is nicely decorated so we felt Like home.There is a big garden,we enyoed watching birds and squirrels while having breakfast. Breakfast was also amazing.the only thing I regret is not spending more nights At this place

Good room & bed was comfy. The location was perfect as it was right by the beach & just a short walk from the hotel. The breakfast was nice & the staff were friendly.

We weren't the biggest fans of Unawatuna as we found the type of tourists it brought spoiled the area. Some of the locals spoke to us about how the area had become worse for beach pollution. Go head to Mirissa if you want a nice beach & good vibes!

Everything was perfect! The Room was superclean and charming. They offer extra services (like towels for the beach, sunlotion, umbrella in case of rain… ) and the staff is superhelpfull and they do everything with a smile. Truly positive vibes and the only pity is that I spent only 2 nights !

Location, facilities, room everything excellent !

Great place! Very polite staff, always ready to help with any issue. The smile of the hostess lit up our lives! Sitting on the veranda in the evening, listening to the birds and chipmunks - it's amazing!

The room is quite dark due to the walls. But you didn't come to Sri Lanka to sit in your room, right?!

the most relaxed place during my stay in Sri Lanka. Nor Lanka has the best of both Norway and Sri Lanka! perfect location for beach, best B&W beach restaurant, small supermarket. very comfortable rooms and relax areas. I had wonderful day with tuktuk of Mr Lal. Really kind gentlemen. let the hotel arrange this guided tour. Also loved the breakfast (good bread!) Thank you again kind an warm familie for making me feel so welcome🙏

Very calm and relaxing hotel, with an amazing staff very helpful and smiling. beautiful rooms, very clean and spacious, a place to come back!

The hotel is just two steps away from the shopping and restaurants area, but complicated to reach, especially at night. need to do a long turn-around that takes 10 min, but it’s literary 2 min away. Plus need to wait a bit long for the breakfast to be cooked. an advise is to order simple breakfast and to ask to do it quicker if you are pressed for time. but generally it’s a very nice place!
