    Great little guesthouse in the touristic centre of Unawatuna

    The rooms are a little dark and our room at the back with a nice jungle view had frosted glass, which was a shame. Unawatuna itself is not a place I would return to but if you're there, I'd highly recommend Flamingo

    Very friendly owner made us feel right at home. The rooms had comfy beds, were a good size and had decent fans and AC. If you go to Unawatuna Flamingo is a great option. Not fancy but very homely and welcoming and has everything you need. There's also a couple of nice communal sitting areas for rainy days or chilling out It is situated right in the middle of everything.

    private place managed by lovely family, in the centre of everything (privacy in a bit noisy area)

    If you're not fan of night life it might be to much noise to let you sleep while others are out. Also if you're not fun of russian hits ;) Just one plug in the room.

    The staff was amazing, such a nice people, available 24/7, supportive. You could feel like visiting your family (lovely family). Beautiful place for breakfast, the view was amazing. Having food preferences they were so open for our suggestions, eventually we had a unique breakfast, the best in Sri Lanka! :) I ordered "ocean view room" (which has a window/balcony to the street) without knowing how intense night life in Unawatuna is. The owner did so much effort to try to rearrange bookings to change into "jungle room" (opposite side with a garden view, much more quiet). Balcony was nice, view to the ocean above some buildings and trees, view to the busy street and bars downstars - it was very nice, colourful, chilling. You felt like perfect place for your vacations. Whatever question or wish we had, it was solved and answered immediately and with pleasure. Amazing how happy people the owner's family are! Location in the centre of everything. You leave the room and you have what you want (beach, water sport activities, street full of stores, travel agencies, tuk tuks, restaurants etc.)

    Only very small points: - noise insulation: noise insulation of the room is very limited, so we heard almost all the (bathroom) noises from our neighbours - mosquito net: the net for the double bed was actually two single bed nets. Therefore, it was too short at the ends of the bed and we still got biten

    - room: rather spacious and every piece of equipment was intact. If there would be a luggage rack, it would be ideal - staff and host: very helpful and cheerful - location: beach is right across the street, our room was towards the back, which was really good as it is more quite

    Great location, the host was so cordial and accommodating, rooms are spacious and we managed to get one on the second floor not facing the street, so it was quiet. Bed very comfy with 2 pillows for each. The room was really clean too. Hope to go back one day. I gave them my laundry and they took care of it right away. Highly recommended

    Front rooms are very noisy due to one or two beachside bars playing dance music into the early morning. The hosts did offer to move us into one of the back rooms which were better. We definitely recommend requesting a back room if you are at all sensitive to noise. Quite expensive - we have stayed in more luxurious hotels with better facilities on the south coast for a similar price. Also, should invest in warm white light bulbs.

    Clean, spacious rooms, good location, friendly hosts.

    The only thing that i did not like was when we had to pay, the conversion rate that the host asked for was much higher than the official rate and she gave all not so great reasons for that. Seems like they just wanted to squeeze money from us.

    The location is great, close to the beach. The rooms are spacious and beds are comfy. Liked the common spaces in the house.

    Perfect location just 1 min walk from the beach (across the road). Room is clean and cozy. Bed is comfortable. Owner is very caring and helpful. Delicious breakfast is provided in a next door restaurant, which opens at 8:30-09:00, please take this in consideration when you book with breakfast. Nearby there are a lot of restaurants, what is definitely good. On the other hand, you have to be prepared it might be noisy in the late evening.
