    Wi fi works well not in the entire room

    Room clean, air conditioning works, there is still ceiling fan. The Beach is a 5-minute walk away. The room has a fridge. Great breakfast with a huge plate of fruit. Recommend!

    Nothing

    Neil was a great host and cooked us two delicious breakfasts. He was very laid back and helped when we had questions. Everything you needed in the room except tea and coffee but had water, hairdryer, soap, safe, hangers. Room was dark as you had to keep curtains closed as it was facing into the courtyard, but we didn't spend much time in there anyway so it was fine and it was cool. Breakfast is in an open air dining/kitchen area. Location is close to the main street and main beach. Jungle beach is an interesting 30 minute walk. We went to Galle from here which was about 15 minutes in a tuk tuk. It's a great little place at a reasonable price.

    We loved to stay in Neel house. You have everything you need, even an umbrella, towels for the beach, very tasty breakfast. Neel is doing everything he can do to help you, he even arranged for us the pick up for the airport and he woke up like 5 in the morning to prepare us a coffee.

    The host was exceptionally friendly, made breakfast every morning, which was delicious and had great variety. We were the only guests at the time and the host was very worried about our needs, and arranged us a ride to the beach. Good location too!

    The bed was a bit hard, but this is a personal preference

    Very comfortable stay near the beach! The room and bathroom are spacious and very clean, everything is provided for. But the best part about this accommodation is the host, it was like staying with family! Also the breakfast is just superb. Highly recommend staying at the Butterfly Jewel!

    Can’t come up with anything

    Nil is a great host. Friendly, generous and always there when you need help. He also makes great breakfast! The butterfly jewel is located on a quiet street, but still just a few minute walk to the beach and buzz of Unawatuna. We truly enjoyed the house porch and outdoor kitchen where we could relax with a cup of tea in the shade.

    Neel is a great and funny host. He will help you with everything you need and has great information about food and stuff to do around Unawatuna. We we're here with 3 Kids and Neel was wunderful to the them. The rooms are clean, breakfast is delicious, we had Welcome drink and a laundry is also directly at the accomodation. Absolutely perfect. Thank you Neel for having us

    We liked everything. There was nothing that spoiled our stay. Location is perfect: surrounded by jungle, in 5 minutes walk from the beach, in 10 minutes walk from busy street with cafes and shops. Quite and calm cornor, where you can hear only birds singing. The area and the room are clean. Air condition works properly. Wi-fi is fast (my husband could work without any inconvinience). Bed is big and comfortable - we slept as babies :) And there were many pillows - for me it's a great advantage. Bathroom is convinient and functional. We took hot shower even during power outage. Breakfasts exceeded our expectations. Besides familiar eggs and toasts we had a big plate of fresh fruits. Several times Neel (the host) cooked us traditional dishes of Sri Lanka cuisine - everything was delicious. What makes this place outstanding from others is that Neel is a super host. It felt like we were visiting a friend, not a hotel. Neel was very helpful, gave us lots of good advise about places to visit and it was just interesting to chat with him. We would definitly come here again :)

    White light used inside room! Breakfast (really good!) is just outside the room which meant privacy in the morning is a limited.

    Very clean. Good room aesthetics, helpful and warm host.
