Outdoor seating Delicious breakfast Close to turtles swimming at the beach nearby
Très jolie maison, appartement entier et très beau jardin entretenu et fleuri. Les hôtes sont charmants et serviables. Petit déjeuner sur la terrasse très agréable. Proximité de la plage très appréciable.
Proximité de la voie ferrée.
La famille est super accueillante. Petit déjeuner très bon. Très propre.
Emplacement relativement bruyant mais on s'habitue.
Une grande villa très agréable et bien équipée. Les propriétaires des lieux sont adorables et nous ont emmené à Galle en tuktuk pour un bon prix. Très bon rapport qualité prix.
Tres belle accueil et toujours pret a nous aider et rendre notre sejour agréable. Petit cuisine et grand balcon , tres intimate. La propriétaire nous attendant au chemin principal a notre arrivée.

The host family were extremely kind and always willing to help, we felt very looked after. The breakfast was exceptional we absolutely loved the hoppers with a delicious fish sambal. The gardens at the property are beautifully maintained it was such a special garden. The villas are located right by the beach and the host family offered to show us how to get there and helped with giving instructions to our driver. If you are looking for a simple but wonderful experience I would highly recommend.
Доброго дня ! Мы проживали на вилле месяц и занимали оба этажа . Хозяева виллы жили рядом в своем доме и оказывали огромную заботу по отношению к нам . Каждое утро готовили разнообразные завтраки для нас , мы здорово общались и сроднились за это время . На вилле есть все условия для жизни к которым мы привыкли в обычной городской жизни , кондиционер , вода , никаких перебоев с электричеством и водонагревом. Две кухни , все столовые приборы и необходимые для быта вещи , два больших холодильника , две стиральные машины в доме . Расположение классное , через дорогу пляж с черепахами , центр Унаватуны в 10 минутах езды на тук туке. Выражаем большую благодарность дедушке и бабушке , большой привет 🙏🏽❤️
На первом этаже из-за влажности есть комары , но это не секрет для жителей Шри Ланки это абсолютно нормально . Палочки и брызгалки спасают . На втором этаже комаром не было совсем .
We loved our stay at Kirala Villa. The family who own the property are the nicest, kindest people you could ever wish to meet. Our apartment was very well equipped, spotlessly clean and comfortable with excellent WiFi . We enjoyed eating our freshly cooked Sri Lankan breakfast in the garden each morning. The location is great- very close to the beautiful beaches, eating places and the main road to get a tuk tuk or bus.
Wunderbare kleine Villa mit zwei Apartments mitten im Dschungel in Dalawella.Trotzdem nur zwei bis drei Minuten zum Strand über die Gleise und die Küstenstrasse und schon ist man am tollen Dalawella Beach..Familiäre, chillige Atmosphäre ist garantiert.Wir haben uns von der ersten Minute an wohlgefühlt ! Frühstück ist ebenfalls vom Feinsten und wenn man sonst irgendwas benötigt wird einem sofort geholfen. Wahrscheinlich die beste Unterkunft in Sri Lanka in der wir jemals waren, und das jetzt ist schon unsere sechste Reise auf diese herrliche Insel... Wir kommen sicher wieder !
Really magical neighbourhood with lots of flaura and fauna. The host family prepared excellent homemade food for breakfast. They also happily drove us around in their tuk tuk. The balcony was lovely.
Occasionally a bad smell in the bathroom due to plumbing issues (unfortunately probably very difficult to fix). There was a window so it was ok.
The owners son was waiting on the main road to meet me to guide me to the accommodation. The family was very warm and accommodating.
Nothing to fault.
Really lovely host family, made us so welcome. Spacious upper apartment with balcony. Location amazing next to turtle beach - guaranteed sightings.
Trains are very noisy but they don’t run after 9pm (start again fairly early in the morning).
Our stay at this guesthouse was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a welcoming papaya juice. The hosts are incredibly kind and attentive. The room was clean, spacious, and thoughtfully furnished. We loved having a fully equipped kitchen and fridge; the washing machine was a great convenience. Just a 5-minute walk to the beach, shops and cafes! If you’re looking for a cozy, well-equipped, and ideally located place to stay, I highly recommend this guesthouse!
Niroshin and his family were exceptional hosts—such a warm, welcoming, and kind-hearted family! They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. No request was too big or small for them, and their hospitality made us feel right at home. The welcome drinks upon arrival were a lovely touch, setting the tone for a relaxing stay. We also had the pleasure of enjoying a delicious hoppa breakfast, which was not only tasty but also great value, served right to our private balcony with stunning views of vibrant birds, monkeys, and lush greenery. To make things even more convenient, Niroshin kindly provided us with 5L bottles of drinking water on request, saving us the hassle of carrying it around in the heat. The studio apartment was spacious and clean and contained a washing machine and hob which we found useful having travelled around. It also had air conditioning and a big ceiling fan keeping the place nice and cool as well as a mosquito net. The private balcony provided us with a lovely, relaxing sitting area where we could relax or eat and also had a nice, big ceiling fan allowing you to enjoy sitting outside whilst staying cool. As for the location, it couldn’t be better—just a short walk across the road, and we were on the beach, where we could swim in the ocean or the tranquil lagoon, home to turtles and colorful fish. The lagoon is sheltered by a reef, making it perfect for relaxing swims or for families with children. Plus, there are some lovely places nearby to eat and drink. This hidden gem is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Unawatuna, offering a peaceful retreat while still being super accessible via local buses, tuk-tuks, or even by foot if you're in the mood for a walk. Though the train passes right outside the house, it didn’t run late into the night, and we actually found the sound to be a charming addition to the overall experience.
Great place to stay just across the road of the famous Turtles Beach. We have met a very nice family and we are just waiting to be back. We had the ground floor apartment with a very nice veranda and a private garden to cool down after a day at the beach. Highly recommend!
What a beautiful villa! The main room is spacious, with a very comfortable 4 poster bed (with mosquito net). There is a great A/C unit and fan that cools down the room easily. The bathroom has a hot water shower (hand held shower head) and also includes a washing machine which is very easy to use. The kitchenette has a 2 burner gas stove, kettle, rice cooker and all plates and glasses. The balcony is complete with a fan, several seating options (table and chair, lounge chair and reading chair) and is also very spacious. The walk to the beach is only 2mins across the railway. The hosts are very accomodating and always there to help with any questions you might have. Would definitely recommend staying here if you get the chance!
Nothing
Such friendly host and family. They are always available to help and nothing is too much for them. They ironed my new suit for a wedding, including taking it to Unawutuna and back for me for a special dry clean after the wedding. Every day they provided breakfast to my balcony, (only extra 1200 SL rupees). Great location a few minutes walk to Dalawella beach and beach bars. Convenience shops just a few minutes walk away. The villa itself was very well equipped kitchenette. Comfortable 4- poster bed with mosquito net. Good size fridge, great shower pump, toilet with butt gun which is always useful. Towels and soap in room. They lent me their mask for swimmming and a beach towel. On the last night they even cooked me some mixed rices.
Nothing springs to mind.
The villa is a perfect place to stay away from the noise as it is located among dense trees. At the same time it is only a 5-minute walk to the Turtle beach. There is a balcony where we really enjoyed relaxing in the morning. The room comes fully furnished. There is everything you need: an air conditioner, a washing machine, a fridge. The bathroom is neat and clean. Also, there is a kitchen where you can really cook as there is everything for it. The owner and his family are very hospitable and friendly. They are always ready to help you. I strongly recommend this villa! Thank you a bunch!
This place has a beautiful atmosphere created by the family that own it. Mother, father, son, grandmother and grandfather live next door to the villa. I was made to feel welcome. The interior is very nicely done, with a big bathroom and a good sized kitchen. The outside space is beautiful with a wonderful garden. The WiFi is great, I was able to stream a whole football match with no problems.
The owners couldn’t have been more helpful - from helping me find the place to bringing me juice and a snack when I arrived! They cooked such a lovely breakfast where I sat on the balcony area watching the nature. The room itself was massive and had everything I needed, so comfortable.
good place to stay, close to the ocean - 3 minutes walk. but the biggest plus is the kind and hospitable owner who will help with everything. we were greeted with coconuts, which was nice. the room has everything you need, the breakfast is delicious
The room was simple but comfortable. Shower pressure excellent. Breakfast was very tailored to what I want and delicious. The surrounding gardens are serene.
Getting there at night time is a little dark.
the host was friendly and even gave us socket adapter.
breakfast was quite poor
The best place we were in Sri Lanka :) Lovely, helpful family, excellent breakfast, good location near to calm beach
All ok
By far the best setup place we stayed in, in Sri Lanka. It had everything we needed and more, a beautiful big deck, very well equipped kitchen, and is in a great location for Delawella turtle beach! Niroshan and his family were very warm and welcoming and we really loved our stay here :)
Equipped kitchen, washing machine, clean, own terrace. Quiet, but 2-3 minutes from an excellent beach. The owner of the apartment has a tuk-tuk. The price is great and very convenient. We went to the fish and fruit market. There is a barbecue. Wifi is excellent. Such apartments are very rare for the island..
Was difficult to find. Tuk-tukkers helped more then google. U need just pass railway.
Very comfortable big appartement with kitchen area, outside balcony terrace, very big fridge, AC & fan. Wifi worked very well. The host was very caring & every morning we got a king coconut :) Hot water all the time :)
The location can't be found by taxis... Better go over the railway. You need to sleep with Ohropax, you will wake up either from the train or the animals outside - the appartement got zero isolation 🙈. In the bathroom have been many ants.
Perfect villa, green territory, turtle beach 2 minutes walking, strong internet, kitchen with all we need: oven, blender, all flatware and washing machine. The best family, very kind and helpful 💝💝💝 next time we stay here 3 month minimum🎉❤️
We lived in this villa for three months. The owners are excellent, responsive people, always ready to help. The house is a 2-minute walk from the ocean. There is a shop and a fruit shop nearby. The house has everything you need: washing machine, air conditioning, water heater and Internet fiber optic. Perfect for short-term and long-term living
The apartment is truly lovely with all the amenities you would need for a long stay. The hosts are exceptionally generous and would happy provide you with anything you need. I asked for some breakfast and I was greeted in the morning with a veritable buffet of local food. Overlooking the balcony is a stretch of mangrove marshland which is teaming with flora and fauna, if you consider your self an eco tourist this place would definitely interest you. While it not directly on the beach it's literally less than a minute walk away (I timed myself :)).
The train tracks are right opposite so it can get a bit noisy during the day but the trains are not that frequent.
