The room is huge and well maintained. The owner is very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was good too. There is a washing machine inside the room that we appreciated a lot (no extra charge to use it).

The hosts were exceptionally kind and welcoming. We stayed here for three nights, and every morning we were served a traditional Sri Lankan breakfast. They made an effort to offer something different each day, so we were able to try a variety of local dishes already at breakfast. Unfortunately, on our last day we suffered from sunstroke, and the host was incredibly understanding and flexible. They kindly allowed us to stay for a few extra hours beyond check-out so we could recover a bit, for which we are truly grateful.

Our stay was wonderful and we can definitely recommend this place. Everything was clean and comfortable, with a beautiful spacious terrace to relax on. The owner was very welcoming and kind, the breakfasts were excellent, and the owner’s adorable dog was a lovely bonus that made the stay even more special.

“Nice place with huce terrace”
We were kindly greated by our nice host with a welcome drink on our huge private terrace. The room is clean and really big with a big fridge, small kitchen, washing machine and A/C. The A/C was working, but the room is very big so it did not cool down as fast as we were used to from other guest houses. It still worked fine and it was never too hot. For the first time on our journey the host provided us with extra beach towels, not only towels for the room. The breakfast was good and the cute Rottweiler keeping us company was a great extra. We were quite stressed when we left, and the host gave us 2 bottles of water for free because he thought we looked too exhausted. The location is central between different beaches, but to get to them you should take a tuktuk. Walking, it may take you from 30minutes to one hour to get there.

“Relaxing and Authentic Stay at Turtle Lamp Villa, Unawatuna4”
Turtle Lamp Villa in Unawatuna is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a true Sri Lankan experience. It’s located about a 15-minute walk from the beach, and you can easily get a PickMe or Uber for convenience. The villa has four rooms, while the friendly owners live downstairs with their dog. They were very welcoming, and the owner's wife prepared delicious breakfasts for us every morning. The owner also checked in regularly to ensure we had everything we needed. Our room was spacious and clean, with a separate kitchen, where we could cook or make coffee and tea. The private balcony was a great place to enjoy breakfast, and the bathroom had a shower (though the water pressure was a bit low, it added to the authentic Sri Lankan atmosphere). We loved getting to know the owners and experiencing their hospitality. There are also several restaurants and bars nearby for lunch or dinner, and we enjoyed fresh coconuts and fruits from local stalls. A lovely touch was the welcome drink – fresh coconut from their garden! If you're looking for a peaceful, authentic, and friendly place to stay, I highly recommend Turtle Lamp Villa for a relaxing getaway.

I thought the setting was fabulous. The sound of the birdsong was just beautiful and you were only minutes away from the hustle and bustle of the main road, but it was a haven of peace.

“The best place. Manila and Siri we miss you🙌”
This is our favorite place in Sri Lanka. We are always happy to return to the wonderful Siri and Manila. A very calm and comfortable place. Great breakfasts - this time we asked for vegetarian ones from the local cuisine- what we didn't try🙏, very tasty and great for health💚Manil is an excellent cook, and Siri knows all the medicinal properties of local plants🙏The guest house has 3 rooms - each has a kitchen and a washing machine. Everything is very conveniently arranged for life. Thank you very much, we will be glad to return💕
