    The property was little but further from the centre but we rented a bike so we didn’t mind that much. The room was clean and breakfast was nice.

    Even though we didn’t get the room we expected for it ended up being a super nice and cozy stay. We actually got a bigger room and still got to use the nice terrace so it was just perfect.

    Dinnesh and his wife were very welcoming from the very beginning. They arranged a rental scooter for us whicu was available 30min after our arrival. That was a must for us since the property is located about 1km from the main road and there is not much around. We were not given the room that was showj in the pictures as there was someone else renting it so we stayed in a different room (both room share one bathroom). However the other room got free the day after so we could use the terrace there which was amazing. We asked if we could use their washing machine and they accepted and charged for it at the end of our stay (price was more expensive than regular laundry places but it was very convenient). Kumudu prepared some delicious meals for us too at a fair price; everything was tasty and made with love. We very much liked staying there, we felt like home.

    Place to recommend.

    We stayed just one day but it was a great choice. Family who run this home stay is very kind and you get everything that you need to get a proper rest. Very comfortable bed and warm water in bathroom are good pros (not obvious in some properties we booked before)! Also we get Sri Lanka style breakfast, nice!

    One of the best places I've ever lived. A very quiet and peaceful place, a lot of greenery, birds singing. But close to beaches and shops, 10 minutes by tuk-tuk to Unawatuna. The hosts are very kind, cheerful and polite. You can arrange transfers to the beaches and Galle. Large room, always hot water, small shops nearby, delicious breakfast. Thanks for a great vacation! I would like to come back here again!

    Healing at Diwanka Villa

    There's nothing about my accommodations here for me not to like. Is Sri Lanka more expensive than India. Sure. But that's the state of affairs. I'm glad I've come and I look forward to another visit in the future.

    I can most enthusiastically recommend any traveler to stay here. As I sit on the peaceful balcony listening to the various birds sing while gazing out upon the lush green forest I'm filled with such gratitude for having chosen Diwanka Villa for my stay in unawatuna. The family that owns and runs this charming little oasis are fantastic hosts. Always so kind and helpful. Momma of the house is available to cook you a wonderful meal at a most reasonable price while dinesh always with a big generous smile for his honored guests is ever ready with his tuk tuk to assist in whatever needs arranging. The home is kept spotlessly clean with constant loving attention from the mother. My stay here became extended after a bad scooter crash on the main road. Broken collar bone and significant wounds from the road rash. Dinesh and his wife kumudu have been beyond amazing assisting in my healing. Lovingly applying medication to my wounds. Constantly checking on my condition and offering uplifting encouragement when Im feeling so down. Truly if the accident had to happen, im so very lucky that I was living here at Diwanka instead of a hotel when it did. Any traveler would be fortunate to stay with this beautiful family for a few days during thier stay in unawatuna. The location is down a quiet road. A pleasant 15 minute walk amongst the vibrant lush green landscape to the beach nearby. In the other direction 25 minute walk to the magic of Yatagala temple. The blessings of Diwanka Villa and the love of this wonderful family have made what's been a difficult experience with my injuries, still feel like a Gift. Thank you!!!

    Lovely, helpful and truly caring family. Clean room and good breakfast. The way to the beach is not too long at all, its quiet country road, not too much traffic. Just out of tourist area and main road traffic noises. The hosts have their own Tuk Tuk, so its easy to get around.

    Host kindly dropped us off in Galle but felt the journey was rather expensive! Didn’t fault our experience too much.

    Very clean spacious room, really enjoyed our stay here. Hosts were friendly and accommodating. Location very peaceful and quiet, slight walk to Unawatuna beach etc.

    Me and my friend were doing some remote work and we had problems with both the wifi and our sim card reception, so we had to go to the town to work. It was raining a lot so maybe the wifi was failing because of that. Because sometimes it was working ok. Other than that it was perfect. :)

    The place is very quiet, very nice family. Very filling breakfast every day, they also have tuk tuk service. The house is very beautiful also.
