“Lovely charming hotel at very reasonable prices”

We stayed at this hotel during august 2011. The owner Sarath is a very gentle charming man and nothing was too much trouble for him. We ate breakfast in the hotel which was cooked and presented very nicely. The room was adequate with a comfortable bed with mosquito net and aircon in the room essential. The beach at Unawatuna is beautiful but be careful the undertow and currents have become unpredictable since the tsunami, while we were there a young Sri Lankan boy was swept out to sea in the dark and was only saved by the astounding bravery of his friend who paddled out on his surf board to rescue him.

Room Tip: Ask for a room with the newer aircon units as the old ones can be noisy and do not have a remote con...

The Beach Bungalow is a very good place to stay, very clean, very relaxing, nice tiny garden. I went there with a friend for a week and we were planning to visit some other place, but we were so confortable we just stayed there ! Very well located. The price is good, it`s a safe place for girls travelling alone. I hightly recommand this place.

“The owner is a stealer be careful !!!”

Very bad surprise at the end of the trip when we paid the room.

We gave the money to the owner (who was drunk), he counted in front of us and it was fine. He went to kitchen few minutes and he came back saying that we did not give enough.... he was telling a lie !!

And he started to be very agressive and we felt scared ... so we paid 30 dollars more ... but we were honest and he was a stealer ...... VERY BAD EXPERIENCE
Don t go to this place !!!

Dear Sir,
I am very sorry, this have never happen before. I apologize for what have been happen. I'm not a stealer. Off cause it is me who have done the wrong thing here. When you did the counting for the bill in the restaurant I was a little bit confused. At that time I also should been counting. Unfortunately I took the amount and counting when I came to my kitchen. What I find out when I count, was that it was Rupees 3000 less than the bill. Anyway it was my fold not to count there and then in the restaurant. Again I'm very sorry and feel very uncomfortable when our guest leave us in leaving us with this opinion. Hope you can come back at a later date and that we can do it good for you again!

“Very good option to stay when you are in Una Watuna”

For me it was the fouth time I stayed at Unawatuna beach bungalows.It is gas allways been a good place to stay. This year they made a start to put AC in more rooms.

Sarath (the owner) is very friendly and helpful. You will also find his family around.

When you want to make some trips, Sarath can help you with it or his brother Lal will show you the nice spots in the environment.
Rooms are cleaned every day. In the morning you get a good breakfast. Sarath cook very good meals.

It is realy just a few meters to go to the beach. When you go to sleep it is so good to hear the sea at the background.
