Only the best recommendations! The room was very clean and the bed was huge (we fit perfectly with our 1 year old son :) ). The breakfast was very delicious and rich, freshly prepared. Neel is wonderful—he truly tries to make everything perfect and looks at you not just as a client, but as a person.

That was such a beautiful experience to stay in Butterfly Jewel. We booked two rooms for our girl's team and we loved it. And it was great to hang out with Nil, the owner of the place, such a nice and kind person. Highly recommended

Clean hotel close to everything. Although its is a hotel you feel like it’s a home stay as well. Outside the room the owner works and cooks and it’s a social place to talk. He was available for any questions and made us a very nice and generous breakfast. We got so much fruit to take with us to the beach and solved all that was needed. The location is great. Although the place might need some renovation it is clean and perfectly working. The bed in the room was really spacious and fit us all (family of 4). I would stay here again!

The owner Neel is super kind and tries so make everyone feel at home! Every morning he serves the breakfast himself, pancakes, fresh fruits, toast, jam, butter, coffee and tea! I could even take some snacks for the beach because it was plenty! The room is located in a backyard so it's pretty dark. But I didn't mind because I was at the beach most of the time and I could therefore sleep super well in this room. When I was feeling sick, he even checked up on me. I always felt safe + the wifi is very good! Would 100% recommend if you want to be in the central of Unawatuna Beach but still sleep super quiet.

Great location unawatuna beach is just 5 min walking distance and the area is very vibrant like full of restaurants ands shops. Room and toilet was very clean and beds were very comfortable. We had our best sriLankan home made breakfast there. I used the kitchen to cook food for my kids. Neel is a super host.

Very well, welcoming

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!

Great location and great host

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.

Highly rcommend!

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!

Home away from home

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!

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.

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 :)
