Unawatuna Backpacker Lodge

Had everything we needed,really nice modern rooms.

Nothing!

War schön dorten, konnten vor Ort einen Waran sehen.

Ein Föhn wäre vllt ganz nett gewesen aber anonsten war alles gut.

Very nice place to stay in Unawatuna. Room was spacious, clean and had a very nice shower. There also is a little kitchen area with a Fridge that people could use. It is located among trees so you can see monkeys and cute birds and squirrels up close. There is a short walking distance to the shops, restaurants and beach.

Nice hotel at the end of a quiet side road. Many animals to see: monkeys, lizards, birds. Owner is a chill & uncomplicated dude.

Colazione FAVOLOSA, la migliore avuta in Sri Lanka! Host disponibile, camera semplice e basilare. L’host mette a disposizione un telo per la doccia, vari anti-zanzare. C’è un ventilatore che messo al minimo fa il suo lavoro.

Essendo a ridosso della giungla, la notte si potrebbero sentire alcuni rumori di animali che giocano sul tetto.

Great location just five minutes from the beach and main restaurant area. Spacious and clean room, lovely host 😊

Отличное место, понравилось, что немного в стороне от дороги, не шумно. Номера чистые и комфортные. Хочу отметить, что за всю поездку, здесь были самые мягкие и вкусно пахнущие полотенца ), хорошее постельное белье. Хозяин очень отзывчивый и приятный человек. Есть небольшая кухня, холодильник.

部屋が広くて清潔。 静かで便利なロケーション。

Great location as it is in walking distance to beach, relaxing surroundings, and spacious room. Value for money and the host was very helpful.

Large bed, nice vibe with terrace breakfast, sometimes can see animals. Walkable distance to the beach. Breakfast was diverse but small and not to everybody’s taste.

Zero supplies in the room, not even soap and toilet paper. Noisy at night coz some animals were running at the roof. The room description is inaccurate on Booking.com, so be careful. There’s an AC in the room but they don’t give you remote control trying to get extra daily charge for it. It’s written in the description that they have washing machine but in reality it’s inside the host’s house and they want to charge higher than outside laundry for using it. Kitchenette for common use is very outdated, pans and pots are super old, you wouldn’t want to use them for cooking.

The location was really nice, it was surrounded by jungle/trees so there was a lot of wildlife around. The owner is great, taking care of our needs and the breakfast is delicious it changed each day which we liked. The room was spacious and the outside area is a nice place to relax.

We were there for 3 nights and had a wonderful stay! Host was very friendly and made a very nice breakfast with different fresh juice every morning. Room is spacious and clean with good shower and aircon as well. Lovely view of the forest and perfect location near shops and beach!

The room is quite big, very well located while quiet at the same time, just next to the forest so you can spot some monkeys if lucky... five min walking to the beach and plenty of restaurants around. Thilak is a great host that is willing to help at all times. Definitely recommended.

Nothing to say here

This place is very near to all attractions in galle. Efficient and friendly service. Nice breakfast which we enjoyed a lot and very friendly host.The room is charm, providing a unique and memorable stay for us. Very peaceful environment. The nearest restaurant foods also great and worthy. Thanks

Everything is perfect..

Delicious breakfast, cheerful and kind hosts, perfect location and great value for money. Will absolutely stay again ❤️

Clean and spacious. Good aircon. Breakfast was delicious!

No mosquito net. Short but dark lane to access at night.

The breakfast was great. I had western and Sri Lankan breakfast. The fresh juice was a nice change. The family has a tuk tuk so they can take you to galle. The wife is an excellent cook and gave me an excellent evening meal

I was the only one there. In addition festival was one and someone said there was 150 000 there. I am unsure but it was certainly crowded. Unfortunately i missed the parade

The backpackers lodge is just nearby the jungle. Get up early in the morning to see the monkeys swing by or the water monitor take his daily walk. Moreover, you get to enjoy a breakfast at your stay and the room is very spacious.

I would immediately stay there again.

We loved our stay. The owners were very friendly and attentive. We extended our stay and they agreed a slight discount. They also washed our clothes for free as we were long-term guests. The guesthouse is positioned right next to jungle so has fantastic views of the wildlife - monkeys, lizards, birds and more.

The bed was rather creaky and disturbed our sleep often. But that was the only fault.

We enjoyed our stay here alot. Even tho it was really spontaneous, the friendly guy was super helping and carring. The house is directly in the center but in one of the side roads so its not to loud in the night. To the beach its less then 5 min by walk.

Very well situated little homestay, in a quiet road, in only short walking distance to the beach and close to restaurants and shops. Kind hosts! Basic room (some little details would make it more cozy), but spacious and clean. Shower with warm water.

Very relaxing room, close to everything but still away from the shops and restaurants noise. I highly recommend! The host was also very caring and made very nice breakfast.

Not even a tea bag provided. AC and Fan were making sound.

All good, only the aircon was way too loud.

Good location, very friendly and helpful, mosquito nets ovet the beds, good breakfast and very spatious.

Very loud AC, the front door can not be closed, just locked...

Very kind host and fantastic breakfast. The room is super clean and very comfortable. Also the wildlife right next to the property is amazing. You can see monkeys and other different kind of animals.

We loved our stay here. Was the perfect set up for our family with use of the outside kitchen to cook our children’s food. Great location, just tucked away off the main strip. We loved feeding the monkeys from the balcony!

The bathroom in one of the bedrooms smelt of sewage which wasn’t pleasant!

The couple running this place are lovely, shower is decent but try to get the air conditioned rooms, the one closest to the sink on the top floor. Breakfast is varied and the location is great.

Wifi wasn't great for streaming or video calls but hotspot to your own dialog sim. This place is so cheap and the value for money is immense so poor WiFi doesn't and shouldn't matter.

The stay was great.

Some roof construction and the internet went in and out. The owners were very pleasant and apologetic, although they offered no discounts. The kitchen is shared with others.

excellent location, comfortable combined balcony, next to the river and the world of monitor lizards and monkeys, quite clean, good price/quality ratio

There were repairs and workers, it was somewhat uncomfortable, the water in the shower did not drain, the floor had the wrong slope. Therefore, minus two points

Nice Place, really friendly and helpful Owners! Great breakfast! The Location is directly in the center of Unawatuna so it’s near to the beach and also the main road. The room has everything you need.

We loved our stay here! We were welcomed by the friendliest of hosts, he was such a nice man and very helpful! The room was very big, clean and comfortable. Fantastic breakfast, the host put in a lot of effort to make our stay extra special. The room was surrounded by nature, such a beautiful place to stay! Can highly recommend!

Nothing, everything was perfect!

Location was perfect, just off the street with all the restaurants and bars that leads down to the beach. Host was really friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great! Room was spacious. Balcony was nice.

Found a cockroach in the bathroom, can't be avoided always but still unpleasant. Bathroom took a while to drain after shower, meaning wet floor.

Service are superb and yours food also very good keep it up

Breakfast was incredible, such a spread! Bed was very large and comfortable, lots of storage space in the room. Location is great in Unuwatuna, close to lots of cafes, beach and restaurants. Very good value for money!

No vibe at this lodge, mostly couples staying their long-term. The small kitchenette was good for storing food but often was quite messy due to other travellers. When arriving there wasn't a reception and WiFi didn't work however this was quickly rectified by the owner and he gave me the new WiFi details!

The room is big,There is a queen sized canopy bed,terrace with 2 armchairs from where you can see the forest and listen to birds chirping.The breakfast is wonderful and they change it every day.

The bed makes noise when you move.The electric antimosquitoes were empty.

Everything was super clean, we got a room upgrade and the breakfast is super delicious! They even run a super nice little restaurant with a lot of different food, good music and a nice surrounding. The Lodge is also super located only 5min walk to the beach and in the middle of the town but still a quite and remote place.

Very good localization. Super friendly and helpful host. Reasonable price and tasty breakfasts. Loundry service available.

The place was very confortable. The host is very kind and helpful. He owns a nice little restaurant and another house just next, so very quiet almost no other neighbours. Very good breakfast, copious and varied. Fews minutes walk from the beach, many shops and restaurants around. The best plus is that it is located on the jungle edge of the village and by the river, so we had iguanas, varans, birds and plenty of monkeys passing so close to us!! Wonderful!! The best rate quality/price of our travel so far, highly recommanded!

Great location tucked away just from the main street, nice and spacious room, extra clean and super comfortable bed with a balcony and seating area to relax at night. Friendly family and great breakfast. 100 % recommended

Wonderful place tucked away just off the Main Street.. super central but still very quiet! The bedroom was spacious and a large living room and kitchen!! We had lots of privacy which we value! would highly recommend!

nothing:)

- Pool - Rooms were spacious

- a bit off the beaten Track, you will need a scooter - the staff seemed not interested in the guests at all

Very good typical breakfast

Large room, great staff, delicious breakfast and very walkable location.

The room gets very hot and the shower drainage is terrible so the bathroom becomes a lake after you shower

Very friendly staff, huge room and good breakfast! This place definitely deserves a 10

Friendly owner, good location, good breakfast

The room was a bit damp.
