Guest Reviews
- Kristin (7/5): Zusammenfassend war es ein netter Aufenthalt mit toller Betreuung. - Der Host ist sehr bemüht all unsere Wünsche zu erfüllen. Es gab jeden Morgen unterschiedliches Frühstück. Das war total lecker und wir durften jeden Tag entscheiden, wann wir frühstücken wollten.
Die AC ging wunderbar und das Zimmer hatte alles, was man so brauchte. Unser Zimmer wurde als Meerblick mit Balkon beschrieben. Allerdings war der Balkon kein richtiger Balkon. Hier fehlte die Reling und Möbel. Es ist lediglich eine Betonplatte.
Zudem jault und bellt der Hund der Besitzer sehr häufig, da er so gut wie immer alleine im Zwinger oder im Hinterhof ist. Das machte uns traurig.
- Paula (10/5): Perfekt - Sehr bequem, sauber und die Lage ist perfekt. Man kann ist schnell an der Hauptstraße aber kann auch fußläufig zum Jungle Beach gehen.
- Alena (8/5): -
- Sylka (8/5): - Всё было хорошо, не считая расположения и мусора под балконом
- Mariusz (10/5): Wszystko OK - Przestronne, czyste pokoje.
Blisko na plażę Unawatuna a także do Galle. W pobliżu sklepy i restauracje.
- Anouk (10/5): Perfect! - Super fijne accommodatie! Heel schoon en de douche was heerlijk warm! Op loopafstand van het strand. Host was ook heel vriendelijk. Onze tuktuk konden we prima parkeren. Daarnaast was het ontbijt ook heerlijk en gevarieerd! Zeker een aanrader!
- Judith (10/5): Séjour très sympa, a recommander ! - Accueil très chaleureux avec un verre de bienvenue, la chambre était propre et très confortable. Accès aux espaces communs. Emplacement à l’écart du bruit. Eau chaude ! La wifi a un peu de mal a fonctionner parfois, pas d’eau à disposition.

- AndreaPillo (10/5): - la mattina siamo partiti preso e ci hanno fornito la colazione da portare via. Gentilissimi

- Fedor (9/5): -
- Lisa (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kristian (9/5): Superb - Family-run accommodation with very helpful people who will help you arrange whale safari and taxi rides. The Jungle beach furthest away, at the peace pagoda is super nice and great for sunset views. Just down on the Main Street are multiple options for local food If attempting to walk to Jungle beach, bring water. It is I bit of a climb and quite hot. Better to take a Tuk
- Sahan (7/5): Good - Easy check in. Facilities were good. It’s run by a family. They are sweet and are helpful. Also guided to explore nearby places - Mobile Network was not good for Hutch and Dialog
- Bathroom has a transparent door
- Anastasiia (10/5): It was a wonderful stay!!😀 - We stay at this hotel from 3rd to 8th March 2025😁Great location, away from the tourist streets. 20 minutes walk up the mountain to Jungle Beach(you can take tuk tuk). 10 minutes walk along the main road to the fish market, there is also a beach for surfers. Wonderful and friendly staff.We have room at third floor with great view!!!
- Ulrike (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location if you want to explore the area. Five minute walk to the bus stop. Very nice and quiet room with a perfect view (I had booked the deluxe double room on the top floor). Very handy : the big common room with kitchen, fridge, tables, couch
- Griffiths (6/5): Pleasant - The room was advertised as Deluxe with balcony and sea view. Also said there was a bath 🛁
Our room was pretty basic although the bed was very comfortable.
The balcony was narrow and had no safety railing just a drop to the garden below, dangerous especially when wet. Our sea view was a glimpse. The bathroom was small and dark and certainly didn't have a bath.
We told owner we would like to move due to balcony and lack of view hexsaid he would check diary but never mentioned it again.
We stayed for 9 nights and was looking forward to it but found it disappointing.
- Richard (8/5): A pleasant stay in a nice family run hotel - Breakfast was quite OK, the room was nice it did say a Seaview but just could see the ocean Had a balcony but there was no guard rails. Therefore I wouldn't recommend it for families
- James (9/5): Quiet spot - Great spot right next to a tiny beach and only a short tuktuk drive to Negombo beach. Lots of wildlife. Access to a kitchen. Clean, modern rooms
- Alexandros (10/5): Aura is the place to be next to the jungle beach - The family that runs this hotel are all amazing and they do everything to make you feel at home and enjoy your stay. The room is very clean and has probably some of the best sea views over the jungle you will ever see.
Thank you for everything.
- Flash (7/5): Perfectly fine accommodation - Lovely room ,,great owners. For me the location was a,little inconvenient. Closest shops are a,fair distant walk. Not particularly charming part of town either.
- Nick (9/5): Superb - pretty reasonable price, clean room 1 min to jungle beach 5 mins to galle fort and 5 min to unawatuna beach. nice people, safe.
- Andrea (10/5): Excellent value for money, with sea views! - Excellent value for money and great location. Room was lovely, overlooking the bay. Ideal location for jungle beach and Dewata, particularly for surfing lessons (walking distance). Very friendly welcome, had a super stay.
- Elisa (9/5): Modern and calm hotel - Great room, modern bathroom, very friendly service. It is in the middle of unawatuna centre and galle so easy to visit both with tuktuk, scooter, bus. Jungle beach is walkable but the way is uphill. The location is not in walking distance from main places.
- Margus (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, you are away from Galle buzz, but still just around the corner. Had a nice sea view from the room. Large common area. Very friendly host, thanks for all the help! :)
- Vucic (10/5): Exceptional - Friendly host…nice room look on the see.Nice location
- Deepika (9/5): Superb -
- Sean (10/5): Excellent and great value with fantastic hosts - Very new & clean rooms with ac and quiet WiFi internet connection kept breaking
- Macer (10/5): Exceptional -
- Isobel (9/5): Perfect stay thank you! - lovely hosts. Really good value for money and clean rooms. AC and Wi-Fi and hot water :) good location near main road only 5 minutes tuk tuk to unawatuna beach. Also large common area with kitchen facitilies. Close to cocobay with good sunset. Wouldn’t recommend! not a big problem at all but small hole in bathroom wall so on a night bugs from outside we’re attracted to the light but didn’t both us too much. Would be good if could get some netting over it:)
- Daniil (10/5): Comfortavle and beautiful - Very clean and comfortable. Staff is very friendly and their breakfast is very good. Different breakfast each day. We extended the stay and it was great :) Jungle beach is very near and it has a very nice view. Also Galle is a few minutes away by tuk tuk.
- Shehan (7/5): Good -
- Cecilia (10/5): An incredibly welcoming family, comfortable accommodations, and stunning views made this a truly spe - The stay was wonderful! The room had both air conditioning and a fan, a spacious and comfortable bed, and a brand-new bathroom with a fantastic shower. The little sea view was breathtaking with the coconut trees. The hospitality of the family running the property was outstanding—they live downstairs and rent out the upper floors. Breakfast on the rooftop was prepared with great care, and they were always willing to help with anything needed. There were no negative points during my stay—it was a perfect experience.
- Alina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nadezhda (10/5): Exceptional -
- Steve (8/5): Fantastic stay Lived the place - Clean. Huge bed. Use of a kitchen and living room. Hosts were friendly and accommodating . Air-con in first room did not work but room was quickly changed.
- Nipun (8/5): Very good - The location is wonderful, and the rooms on the 3rd floor offer a beautiful sea view. The cleanliness and arrangement of the room were perfect, making it truly worth the money overall.
- Sophie (9/5): Superb - Ran by a lovely friendly family, great AC, modern bathroom, good WiFi and huge comfortable bed. Very good location to travel by bus to Galle and Unawatuna.
- Roberto (10/5): Exceptional - The room was comfortable and clean!
Friendly staff.
Definitely recommend it!
- Nicole (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mark (10/5): Off the beaten track, this little property is the perfect budget friendly accomodation for those wishing to visit Galle - Property was a quant family home with separate annexes for visitor accomodation, well appointed with plenty of facilities to help make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Hosts hosted a mini birthday celebration with cakes for my boys 7th Birthday as well as providing transfers to and from the airport for a reasonably priced fee. There’s nothing to dislike about this modest accommodation. TukTuk’s are a plenty nearby and the hosts are very helpful in providing guidance
- Sam (10/5): Amazing - Everything was amazing
Great breakfast
- Yuka (10/5): Exceptional - This is my second time to stay and favorite place!! I would highly recommend :)
- Zoltan (10/5): Exceptional - Nice staff good value .I would stay again
- Laura (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect quiet location, lovely hosts!
- Yuka (10/5): Exceptional - The view was amazing. From the bed, I could see nice green and even ocean. The place was very quiet and calm. Hot shower and good wifi. People are very kind. They prepare fresh fruits when I arrived. New Years morning, they also prepare for new year’s breakfast. I highly recommend to stay! Nothing
- Justina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Slavica (8/5): Very good - The whole family is very lovely
Their breakfast is delicious.
I even got a souvenir from the owner
very attentive
Accommodation is close to Jungel beach.
Thanks again
- Fathima (8/5): Very good -
- Karen (8/5): Pleasant stay - The breakfast was simple but adequate. The bed was large & comfortable as well as the pillows. Hot shower with soap. AC worked well. A hand towel & a kettle would have been great.
- K. (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jani (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful room with a stunning view! Booked two nights but extended to six. Delicious breakfast, everyday something different. Wifi works well and water pressure is great. Good location and very lovely family.
- Sam (6/5): Quite disappointing, very friendly hosts, good value, nothing special - Friendly staff, lounge with tv, pleasant breakfast, good value Stale smell from bathroom (urine/drains). Difficult to find location (no sign, dirt road), small room with lots of mosquitoes, Wi-Fi was frequently not working. Felt vastly different to the images/profile
- Samuel (10/5): Exceptional - Great spot in Unawatuna, and near Galle/Dewata Beach. Stayed for a couple of nights and loved it. The room and facilities were great (and hot shower) and excellent breakfast. Hosts very kindly let us check out slightly later as there were no guests staying in our room and we had a late flight out that evening. Would highly recommend and thanks again! Nothing.
- Evgenii (9/5): Superb -
- Paul (9/5): Lovely family and amazing view - The owner and his family were very friendly and helped with a lot of things! Moreover, the flat was huge and equipped with everything we needed. The view from the terrace was amazing! It was a bit hard to find, as there were no signs at first.
- Vadim (8/5): great value for money! - the room on the 3 floor is very nice
- James (1/5): Terrible. Filthy. Dirty - The property was filthy and looked nothing like the photos online. No Wi-Fi, no hot water, the mattress smelled terrible and the manager was extremely rude when I asked to change rooms. He finally put me in a different room and it was even worse. I paid for a night but could only stand being there for 3 hours. I left and paid for a room somewhere else.
- Dave (10/5): Perfect stay just between Galle and Unawatua. Great value for money - amazing varied breakfasts
very helpful and hospitable hosts
clean new room with comfy beds and nice shower can’t think of anything
- Ankita (8/5): Very good -
