Welcome juice from the garden, spacious room with large balcony, friendly owners, great breakfast Quiet location (but due to that few minutes more to the beach.. worth it!)

Would have chosen an air conditioned room as was very hot at night

Huge room and massive bed. Nice quiet setting and loved having breakfast served on our balcony each morning. Great hosts who were very helpful arranging early check out and ordering transport and a take away breakfast so we could catch the early train.

It's true that the location isn't really close to the beach or the city center, but it's easily accessible if you take a Tuk Tuk! And if you're looking for peace and quiet, this is the perfect place to stay - personally, this was not a problem at all, and I loved my stay at Turtle lamp.

So far, the best guesthouse I've stayed in. The place is clean, the room is big and comfortable with everything you need - there’s even a kitchen & a watching machine. Also there is a nice balcony where I loved to stay!! You can sit, cool down and relax while watch the surrounding wildlife. The hosts are extremely kind and helpful. The breakfast they prepared was excellent! Truly, a perfect place to rest in Unawatuna, away from the crowds. I couldn't have wished for a better place to stay. Thank you for everything!

Plumbing a little worn. Very weak water pressure at times.

Nice, quiet place outside the village center. In fact, it is a small apartment - a bedroom, a kitchen, a wonderful terrace. Good parking space. Stable internet. The host is very nice, good breakfast.

The air conditioning was a bit lacking

Very clean apartments, there is a kitchen inside the number, washing machine and hot water. The internet was good, there is a table in the room and another table on the balcony. The owners are very nice, sociable people, ready to help in any situation. and they have a cute dog Ragu who loves to play)) Every morning we had an excellent breakfast Thank you for your hospitality

This was our favourite stay in our 2 months in Sri Lanka. The room is a great size with a little kitchen and breakfast balcony area. Set in really nice garden. Really quiet and the owner and his wife are lovely. Very helpful and kind. The place was very clean, we got our towels and sheets changed without asking. There is also a washing machine you can use. Breakfast was great with lots of food. Kettle and fridge in room. Think we extended our stay about 3 times! Will definitely be back. Thank you! Yan & Claire

In case you'd like to go to the jungle beach you should have something to drive with. Otherwise it's going to be a long hike. But we made it, so it's possible without tuk Tuk or motorbike as well.

Beautiful place! You feel like beeing in the middle of the jungle. You can see and hear lots of animals like monkeys, peacocks, squirre and many others. The room is very big. We had our own balcony with a beautiful view, our own kitchen and there was even a washing machine in our room. The host is a very kind man. He showed us all the plants in his garden like starfruit, pineapple, avocado, banana and so on. The breakfast was also very good.

Nothing

We liked that the accomodation has a washing machine. The breakfast was nice too on a quiet terrace in the jungle. We would definitely visit Turtle Lamp again if we go back to Sri Lanka.

Great view from the balcony! really lovely and helpful people! it’s a bit walking (ten minutes) from the centre but therefore quite nice and quiet and with a great view!

In addition to beautiful terrace, it was a private big kitchen with all furniture attached to the room. It was also a washing machine available in the room. The owner was very friendly, polite and supportive. The local breakfast was very delicious. The fresh juice prepared from the properties' garden was awesome. The room was in the first floor with some steps that was not a problem for us. The path to the villa and the villa`s yard were very beautiful.

A little to far from the beach.

The jungle-like view from the balcony the owner and facilities in the room which was more an apartment.

Family were lovely, very polite and helpful.

Our room did not have air conditioning and was so hot even with a fan. There are two rooms here one with and one without aircon so maybe consider that if that bothers you. Internet was very slow, we used data instead.

Friendly owner and large comfy bed with mosquito net. There is a kettle with tea and coffee and a fridge. In a quiet area 20 walk from the main town/beach with but stop at the end of the drive and 10 minute ride to Galle Fort/Station. Lovely Breakfast and dog!
