8.0 out of 10, Very good, (1)
"Extremely welcoming and generous owners. Nice (not fancy) accommodations, only 3 min walk to beach but more like 15 min to center of very crowded surf zone. Great spot if you're looking for someplace inexpensive and with a kitchen. One downside is the hostel next door plays deep bass music, but seemed to quit by 10pm or so."

10/10 Excellent
"Everyone here goes above and beyond! Excellent customer service, i stayed in one of the suites with private pool and jacuzzi and it was worth it! There are only 3 of those suites so book early, im sure all rooms are nice but the suitrs are top notch. The hotel is very well kept, staff always keeping an eye in perfection, the restaurant is highly recommended, delicious food, breakfast is great too and the staff in the restaurant are superb. If you are coming to Sri Lanka, you need to book here to enjoy Unawatuna and Galle."
