Turtle Lamp

Calm and clean place with friendly hospitality. You will feel you are at your own home

Eine sehr nette Familie inklusive sehr nettem Hund. Wir haben zwei Nächte hier verbracht und fanden alles wirklich super. Das sehr große Zimmer ist sehr sauber und hat alles inkludiert was man braucht von Kühlschrank, Klimaanlage, Wasserkocher bis Toaster etc. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und im schon sehr guten Preis inkludiert. Die Lage ist etwas außerhalb aber dafür schön ruhig wie eine Oase inmitten von Vögeln und Natur. Aber mit dem Tuk Tuk ist alles sehr nah und wenn man sich ein bisschen bewegen will dann ist die Stadt auch fußläufig in 15-20 Minuten gut zu erreichen. Vielen Dank für die nette Gastfreundschaft, wir würden immer wieder kommen :)

The host was very friendly. It was nice having a washing machine and breakfast on the balcony

The owner is so friendly and helpful and the breakfast if very generous and filling. We would stay again

The beach isn’t walking distance if its very hot but very easy to get tuktuk

Отдыхали 03.03.26-24.03.26, Вилла чистая,с уютным балкончиком и уютной спальней,функциональной кухней,в комнате есть кондиционер и потолочный вентилятор,есть стиральная машина. Ухоженная территория. Хозяива очень гостеприимные, встретили лично,принесли с дороги прохладительные напитки. Тихая улица,нет шума, остались очень довольны!

Иногда в номере появлялись насекомые,но хозяин с ними оперативно боролся.

Приятный обходительный хозяин, чистота внутри, достаточное кондиционирование воздуха, красивая природа вокруг, уборка и смена белья каждые 3-4 дня. В день отъезда позволили задержаться до вечера без доплаты)

В ванную иногда проникали насекомые, бывало, что ночью по крыше иногда бегали какие-то животные, но это скорее претензии к природе, нежели к жилью. Мебель слегка ветхая

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).

Хорошее приятное тихое место. Хозяин четкий и не суетливый, нормальный такой ненавязчивый дяденька. (Мы жили в 12 местах и многие хозяева чрезмерно услужливы, это не всегда удобно) Я много проводил время на веранде и было бы здорово, если бы там был потолочный вентилятор.

Отдых со 2 февраля по27 февраля. Трансфер заказывали через хозяина виллы( было дешевле и нам удобно). Хозяева Сири и Маниль очень доброжелательны ( об этом во всех отзывах написано). Номер большой и удобный с отдельным входом. Раз в три дня уборка( подметают щеткой пол) , меняют постельное и полотенца. Так как мы жили 25 дней, попросили ведро и швабру, Сири принес все новое. В спальне комаров не было. На кухне готовили, когда уже темно. Окна открыты, свет горит, вентилятор потолочный работает, комарики были, но не донимали. Были полотенца для душа 2шт( не всегда хорошего качества). , 2 полотенца для пляжа, 2 полотенца для ног лежали около кровати. Нам этого мало, купили полотенца для лица и рук. До пляжа 2км, брали сознательно, чтобы проходить в день не менее 8км(утром ходим на море плавать до завтрака, приходим на завтрак и потом идем на море до вечера). Завтрак стандартный, мы дополняли кашей, сыр, яйцо в смятку варили, варили кофе. До рыбного рынка метров500, в лавках вдоль дороги можно купить кур, яйца, овощи, фрукты Тунца(мякоть от огромных рыб) и креветки дешевле рынка были в магазине APRICO. Тунец около. 550руб/кг., свежий не мороженый. Очень вкусно. Для меня матрас очень жесткий, подушки жесткие, комками. А в итоге: все замечательно и все понравилось, Пляж Унаватуны отличный, за день проплывали 2-3 км. Пляж Джангл полный отстой, и маленький и большой. Пляж с черепахами обязателен к посещению 1 раз. Итог: кого не пугает растояние до моря это жилье замечательное.

Общее впечатление: понравилось все.

- Хозяин был приветлив и помогал со всеми вопросами - Номер порадовал большой террасой на 2 этаже и небольшими мелочами в интерьере (библиотека, мебель, картины) - Есть собственная мини-кухня со всем необходимым для готовки - Завтраки были разнообразными и очень вкусными

- Небольшая сложность с навигацией при первом заезде, так как гестхаус находится немного в глубине от главной дороги. Лучше заранее уточнить перед заездом, как лучше проехать.

I proprietari sono delle persone gentilissime, tutto è molto curato e pulito, la colazione è ottima! Siamo stati molto bene

Es war etwas von der Hauptstraße und somit auch vom Lärm entfernt. Das Frühstwar toll und der Besitzer sehr freundlich

Gibt nichts

Das beste Preis-Leistungsverhältnis auf unserer gesamten 3-wöchigen Sri Lanka Reise!

L’endroit est calme , entouré de végétation Les hôtes sont souriants et serviables Le petit déjeuner simple

Peu de restaurant à proximité . Très peu de vaisselle pour cuisiner En partant , le propriétaire ne connaissait pas les prix des TUK TUK pour aller à l’arrêt de bus ( 500 m ) de l’établissement . Sensation assez désagréable quand nous avons refusé le prix du TUK TUK qui nous prenait une somme vraiment exagérée pour ce petit trajet Le propriétaire de l’établissement a parlé avec le chauffeur en Sri lankais et ils ont rigoles …. Nous ne savions pas quoi penser , mais c’est très désagréable pour nous les touristes . De ce fait je ne reviendrai pas dans cet établissement

The best place we have been so far, big room, very quiet, breakfast also perfect. Kindest owners we have met on our trip, we could only recommend!!

La habitación era muy amplia y contaba con cocina. Ademas tenia una terraza con sillas muy cómodas. El baño bien equipado, limpio, y contaba agua caliente El dueño era un señor muy amable que nos ayudó en todo y muy atento al detalle. Era un sitio tranquilo

Nada. Quizás lo único que estaba lejos del centro, pero es algo que asumes por la tranquilidad. En 5 minutos llegabas en tuk tuk al centro

Ottima sistemazione, con personale gentile e un bellissimo e dolcissimo rottweiler pronto ad accogliervi. Ottima anche la colazione.

Very nice hosting family that really cares about your wellbeing! Great rooms and very good breakfast

Please note the accommodation is a bit off road and in the dark

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.

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.

Verry friendly owner, good location and apartment and great value for money

It could have been a little bit more cleaner, everything else was great

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.

It was a bit tricky to find , especially at night coming back in a tuk tuk.

Very spacious room, clean, big balcony with chairs to chill. Very friendly and kind hosts!

Nothing!

The room is clean, the owners are kind and helpful, delicious breakfast

Very nice, good room for good price Fridge Washing machine

Ac direct on bed Shower over Toilet Little loud in the night, jungle!

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💕

Welcome juice from the garden, spacious room with large balcony, friendly owners, great breakfast Quiet location (but due to that few minutes more to the beach.. worth it!)

Huge room and massive bed. Nice quiet setting and loved having breakfast served on our balcony each morning. Great hosts who were very helpful arranging early check out and ordering transport and a take away breakfast so we could catch the early train.

Would have chosen an air conditioned room as was very hot at night

Friendly owner and large comfy bed with mosquito net. There is a kettle with tea and coffee and a fridge. In a quiet area 20 walk from the main town/beach with but stop at the end of the drive and 10 minute ride to Galle Fort/Station. Lovely Breakfast and dog!

Our room did not have air conditioning and was so hot even with a fan. There are two rooms here one with and one without aircon so maybe consider that if that bothers you. Internet was very slow, we used data instead.

So far, the best guesthouse I've stayed in. The place is clean, the room is big and comfortable with everything you need - there’s even a kitchen & a watching machine. Also there is a nice balcony where I loved to stay!! You can sit, cool down and relax while watch the surrounding wildlife. The hosts are extremely kind and helpful. The breakfast they prepared was excellent! Truly, a perfect place to rest in Unawatuna, away from the crowds. I couldn't have wished for a better place to stay. Thank you for everything!

It's true that the location isn't really close to the beach or the city center, but it's easily accessible if you take a Tuk Tuk! And if you're looking for peace and quiet, this is the perfect place to stay - personally, this was not a problem at all, and I loved my stay at Turtle lamp.

Very clean apartments, there is a kitchen inside the number, washing machine and hot water. The internet was good, there is a table in the room and another table on the balcony. The owners are very nice, sociable people, ready to help in any situation. and they have a cute dog Ragu who loves to play)) Every morning we had an excellent breakfast Thank you for your hospitality

The air conditioning was a bit lacking

Nice, quiet place outside the village center. In fact, it is a small apartment - a bedroom, a kitchen, a wonderful terrace. Good parking space. Stable internet. The host is very nice, good breakfast.

Plumbing a little worn. Very weak water pressure at times.

This was our favourite stay in our 2 months in Sri Lanka. The room is a great size with a little kitchen and breakfast balcony area. Set in really nice garden. Really quiet and the owner and his wife are lovely. Very helpful and kind. The place was very clean, we got our towels and sheets changed without asking. There is also a washing machine you can use. Breakfast was great with lots of food. Kettle and fridge in room. Think we extended our stay about 3 times! Will definitely be back. Thank you! Yan & Claire

Beautiful place! You feel like beeing in the middle of the jungle. You can see and hear lots of animals like monkeys, peacocks, squirre and many others. The room is very big. We had our own balcony with a beautiful view, our own kitchen and there was even a washing machine in our room. The host is a very kind man. He showed us all the plants in his garden like starfruit, pineapple, avocado, banana and so on. The breakfast was also very good.

In case you'd like to go to the jungle beach you should have something to drive with. Otherwise it's going to be a long hike. But we made it, so it's possible without tuk Tuk or motorbike as well.

We liked that the accomodation has a washing machine. The breakfast was nice too on a quiet terrace in the jungle. We would definitely visit Turtle Lamp again if we go back to Sri Lanka.

Nothing

Great view from the balcony! really lovely and helpful people! it’s a bit walking (ten minutes) from the centre but therefore quite nice and quiet and with a great view!

Great owner, was very kind. Great nature around the villa!

In addition to beautiful terrace, it was a private big kitchen with all furniture attached to the room. It was also a washing machine available in the room. The owner was very friendly, polite and supportive. The local breakfast was very delicious. The fresh juice prepared from the properties' garden was awesome. The room was in the first floor with some steps that was not a problem for us. The path to the villa and the villa`s yard were very beautiful.

The jungle-like view from the balcony the owner and facilities in the room which was more an apartment.

A little to far from the beach.

Spacious room with a really nice balcony. Owner was very kind.

Excellent breakfast, we asked for vegetarian breakfast and they made it for us. Terrace was nice. Washing machine. Staff was very welcoming and caring. Beautiful dog.

A small detail that we missed - a closet where to put our things.

Really lovely place with good facilities - kitchenette, washing machine, spacious area. Breakfast was amazing and hosts were so friendly! Room is above their home in a quiet corner of Unawatuna.
