Kunam Beach Rest Inn

The host and the location

very clean, quiet, tidy rooms, nice helpful host, great value for room, close to beach, good WiFi

bit of a walk to closest restaurants/shops, have to take a bus or 30 minute walk to get into the town/bus station

Close to beach and town. Good value. A very friendly host.

Nothing. If it was advertised the price would have been ok. See below for the details.we have literally stayed in 100s of hotels etcand never felt so compelled to write a negative review.

Filthy smelly dirty dingy mouldy room.we looked at 2 hoping for a better one with no luck.we have travelled extensively through Asia for many years and can handle cheap accommodation-no problems..it was getting late.we were tired and booked this place based on pictures and reviews on booking .com. apparently he has another place which is better unfortunately via this site you are sent to the accommodation as listed. We had only booked 10 minutes prior and asked for a refund. He refused. Anyone who rates this place above a 1 is kidding.

Location is really close to the beach, which offers insights to local fishing in the morning. The distance to town is walkable, but otherwise the host helps with a tuktuk ride. The accomodation lays in an authentic living area. I had a really good time there, the host was very friendly and there to help anytime.

For some reason I couldn't find the accomodation in the first place. The adress just sent me to a wrong place about 5 minutes walk away from the actual place, so maybe make sure conforming directions beforehand.

Best owner I have seen in Sri Lanka very friendly and always laughing. The house is near to the beach and bus station and all amenities.

Kunam was an excellent host, really helpful and welcoming. He's very kind. We used the pool facilities (for a fee) at the riviera resort.

The room was quite basic but we liked the two, connected room arrangement in our family room. The bathroom could have been cleaner. The beach is close by but not suitable for swimming and is in full sun.

- Low price. - Friendly helpful owner.

- Bathroom was not clean at all. - Fan in bedroom was not working well and was too loud to sleep.
