It finally happened; our first rude and unfriendly and uncaring Sri Lankan hotel manager. We had originally booked for two nights but due to flight change, needed only one. We attempted to relay that information upon checking but we couldn't even check in officially because the manager was not around. The rest of the staff spoke little english so we... More

I would also like to disagree with the last people who think paying 2000 rupees (equiv to £10 !!) means they get a 5 star hotel. I stayed at the primrose last month and i was neither sleeping with cockroaches or eaten by mosquitos. I thought the place was nicely decorated with a four poster bed, ceiling fan and mosquito...

We've been in Sri Lanka a few months ago (Feb 2012) but we didn't manage to upload our reviews yet, so here they are. We first stayed at Village Inn but decided to move because the fan was so noisy that we didn't sleep. Prim Rose GH is loctared near the Village Inn. To start with, the manager is unfriendly.... More

We stayed at primrose for one night having chosen it based on the reviews we found here. They didn't have any if the cheapest rooms available so we took their best one for the first night. It was once probably a nice room but time has taken its toll and it is in bad need for repairs and maintenance. In... More

I have worked as a travel agent for over 20 years and I am horrified with the last review,it would appear that someone wanted to pay for a guesthouse and stay in a luxury hotel, this type of review can damage a small family business and is very unfair. No it is not a 5* luxury hotel (and we have... More

this place was a horrible disappointment - so much so that we were happy to leave. I understand why they ask for all the money up-front... people would flee otherwise. We had the two upstairs rooms -both were big - but filthy. The rooms are left open when empty and our friends had a chipmunk and chipmunk poop on their... More

Visited this Guest House looking for a room for the next day. Room was available at a reasonable rate, asked for a deposit which we had no hesitation in paying so we could secure the room. Returned the next morning at 10am (spending the day in Galle) on the off chance the room was ready, it wasn't, which was no... More

Good place where to spend days in unawatuna! Cheap and well located. We found it lukily.

We've spent a couple of weeks in Unawatuna over the past 2 years and always stay at Primrose Guesthouse. It's a small, laidback place (8 rooms) with a friendly owner who can help with any issues, transport, tours etc. if needs be. The rooms are all clean, with 4 poster beds with good mosquito nets (very much needed in unawatuna!)... More
