    Everything was good. Access (short cut) to main restaurant street not great but other option is long walk on busy road.

    Peaceful,quiet location. Room very clean and comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful. Sri Lankan breakfast tasty and beautifully presented.

    It didn’t smell well in bath room. After cleaning lady it became better, but not for long. We only had a chance to stay there for 2 days, i’m sure, they would fix the problem if we stayed there for longer time

    A feeling of a family business, very kind and caring workers. Walking barefoot on the territory makes it feel like visiting friends’ house. Close to the beach and touristic street. Tasty breakfast: fresh juice, toasts with jam, eggs with veggies, fruits

    The only thing was that we had to pay for the laundry separately when we checked-out, so we had to do that with cash. But this was a minor thing.

    The breakfast was fantastic, probably the best we had in Sri Lanka hotels. The room was also super clean and the bed had a mosquito net, which was very handy.

    Everything was perfect! The Room was superclean and charming. They offer extra services (like towels for the beach, sunlotion, umbrella in case of rain… ) and the staff is superhelpfull and they do everything with a smile. Truly positive vibes and the only pity is that I spent only 2 nights !

    It's not on the main drag, which is a good thing but it's a little harder to find (until you know) and it means not such a wide choice of eating places at night. There's an excellent new place just around the corner though, serving authentic Italian dishes for a change. About 95% of the guests seemed to be of a certain nationality, not a problem, but they weren't at all friendly. Only one person even acknowledged me in the 4 days I was there, so if you're looking for someone to chat to, better bring someone with 😉 It's a wee bit pricey for Sri Lanka. But then, it's Unawatuna. it's probably worth the extra.

    A really lovely calm, relaxing, clean and quiet place to stay. I stayed 4 nights but could have stayed longer, like others guests seemed to be. Very close to the beach (once you've figured out how to get there!) yet set back away from the bustle in a pleasant garden with cool areas to lounge in The food is absolutely excellent. The 'local breakfast' one of the best ever (and they even managed to present it in an arty and cheffy way, no mean feat with string hoppers and dhal curry!) The vegetable rice n curry dinner also was delicious. Helpful, smiling staff who seem to be on duty 24/7 Comfortable bed, hot shower, tasteful stone bathroom. I hope I get to stay here again.

    The room is quite dark due to the walls. But you didn't come to Sri Lanka to sit in your room, right?!

    Great place! Very polite staff, always ready to help with any issue. The smile of the hostess lit up our lives! Sitting on the veranda in the evening, listening to the birds and chipmunks - it's amazing!

    Hotel was located in very green area, with palms, surrounded by nature, 200m from the beach Very tasty breakfast ( fruits, coffee, tea, fresh juice, all kinds of eggs, bread, sweets, marmalade, Sri Lankan breakfast option as well) was served next to the garden, in very relaxing, calm area. Rooms were clean, always with warm water, modest but nicely decorated. Staff was super friendly, helpful, smiled, always supportive. We highly recommend the hotel.

    Nice stay but the area & beach were underwhelming. Go stay in Mirissa!

    We weren't the biggest fans of Unawatuna as we found the type of tourists it brought spoiled the area. Some of the locals spoke to us about how the area had become worse for beach pollution. Go head to Mirissa if you want a nice beach & good vibes!

    Good room & bed was comfy. The location was perfect as it was right by the beach & just a short walk from the hotel. The breakfast was nice & the staff were friendly.

    Charming stay 3 min from the beach.

    Our only complaint was that we would have preferred the Sri Lankan breakfast, and weren't aware that we needed to order the night before. Our kids didn't care for the other options on the menu; however, the fruit plate was very nice.

    We loved our stay at Nor Lanka. The family size room was very spacious, and exactly what we wanted for a 4-person family; it would also comfortably fit 5. The A/C was great, and the mosquito nets were long and well-maintained. There was one bathroom with a nice shower. Communicating with the hotel via booking.com, WhatsApp, and phone was very easy and friendly. They helped us reserve a parking spot at the last minute, and graciously held our bags when we forgot to inform them of our need for early checkout. It's a very charming 3 minute walk to the beach--the location is great. Overall a great deal for the price. We will stay at Nor Lanka again if we return to Unawatuna.

    Nothing to do with the hotel, but if I had to choose again I would definitely avoid Unawatuna. Felt so uncomfortable there and the beach is incredibly overrated

    Such a nice and comfortable hotel. Very good value also! Breakfast every morning was also delicious. Most comfortable bed I slept in in Sri Lanka, with plenty of room and good AC!
