Kapaliya Unawatuna

Номер хороший, чистый, есть косметические принадлежности в сан.узле. Вид на океан очень условный, только с балкона сбоку

Вилла находится довольно высоко, что бы добраться пешком нужно поднапрячься. Это не похоже на приятную прогулку, тем более что вечером нас встречало несколько собак, которые лаяли и вели себя агрессивно

Номер вполне не плохой , есть горячая вода, работает кондиционер. Не маленький. Хозяин и его дядя хорошие люди, но это не профессия)

Номера уставшие. Элементарно не могут помыть стекла , вытереть пыль. Помыть Сплит систему. Мне интересно просто убраться это уже много? Я понимаю ремонт, это да нужны деньги плюс конец сезона типо на следующий год, но просто убраться? Расположение высоко, либо ходить либо тук туки, но это думаю в Уне много где.

Clean and nice room

Not 400 yards from road as booking.com suggested . It’s over 1km into the land side on a hill which is not walkable

The host got me a cake for my birthday!

Really nice and clean the air con was great and the staff were really helpful.

The WiFi was a bit dodgy and the location wasn’t the best

super comfy beds, we slept so well! staff were really friendly and even let us charge our electric tuk tuk which helped us out a lot!

unfortunately there was no breakfast available

Das Zimmer ist schön und sehr groß. Die Lage liegt in mitten der Natur und ist sehr ruhig. Die Klimaanlage funktioniert gut.

Das Hotel liegt schon ziemlich ab vom Schuss auf einem Berg. Man läuft schon ziemlich lange und nur bergauf oder man braucht jedesmal ein Tuktuk. Die Türen waren ein bisschen undicht und wir hatten einige Mücken im Zimmer

Really nice stay. The owner and staff were very friendly and helpful. The place was clean, well furnished, and in a quiet area with a lovely garden and sea view from the upper floors. The room was spacious with a very comfortable bed. Great value for money overall, would definitely stay again!

I’m not one to leave a bad review and just planned to not leave one, but after checking out I was pestered multiple times to leave a 10/10 review which wouldn’t be accurate. The staff are lovely

Location is a bit out of the way so expect a walk up a very steep hill but manageable. Our main issue was the door didn’t close properly and left a few inch gap. We woke up to cockroaches in our room. When we raised this to the owner he told us the hotel is in harmony with nature so they may come. We liked that this hotel was more in the jungle than others on the coast but a closing door is bare minimum not just for stopping insects but also from a safety perspective.

very friendly and helpful owner great communication

small lizards in room door did not fully close

Lovely modern room, loads of space and very clean! I

The host was amazing. So attentive and friendly. Our stay was great, the room was very nice and clean

If your coming with luggage be prepared to walk up spiral stairs however I cannot fault the host as he helped us with luggage both times and was so helpful and kind

The room was furnished to a good standard, with a comfortable bed and sofa. The room itself was large. The location of the hotel is perfect if you are looking for a quiet spot to get away from it all. The security Uncle is so kind, and often will sit up til late waiting for you to come back, to see you are back inside safely. He gave me an umbrella during the rainy days too, a top bloke.

I was quite disappointed with the overall experience in the end. I booked knowing that the hotel didn't have a swimming pool, nor provided breakfast. That was okay with me, as it gave me incentive to get some exercise walking down the steep hill to the beach cafes and the sea each morning. As others have said, if you are too unfit or a bit elderly, the steep incline is going to be too much to handle. So far so good, I thought. Paid 230 usd for 7 nights, so I wasn't expecting the Ritz. However, after about 3 nights i became quite dissatisfied at how literally nothing was done during my stay......no room cleaning, no fresh water bottles even just left outside on the balcony until i explicitly kept asking, same with running out of toilet roll. After 4 nights, the owner asked me if i wanted the room cleaned and I said yes. Came back, and the bed hadn't been made, and apart from my toiletries being put in a neat line, it didn't look like anything had actually been cleaned. I understand it's a tropical climate, so the lizards didn't bother me too much, and i killed the cockroach quick enough, but maybe if there was some regular cleaning it would discourage the hotel from turning into an animal sanctuary? The last night was the crescendo....i thought a moth or fly was in the room, until i turned the light on.....another cockroach had ran across my chest in the bed! Surely it must be very cheap to hire a cleaner on a daily basis. There is a lot of potential with this property, but the only time the owner guy became quite motivated was when he requested the last 10,000 rupees from me. I wish he brought the same energy when ensuring the guests had a great stay! It was quite annoying to be "chased" for the money because i had already provided my credit card details on booking.com.....the hotel had chosen not to take payment, so I came willing to pay on card upon arrival on my first night. Was told they preferred cash!

Friendly owner

When we arrived we were positively surprised by the size of the room and its initial appearance however we then noticed the room was not super clean and there was an ant issue on the balcony and the window was broken so the bathroom became very wet due to rain. We thought the location would be fine given we like walking but it is a very steep hill and then a busy main road to get to the beach/town and even the owner couldn’t get us a tuk tuk/ taxi with our bags when we needed to check out. We don’t like leaving bad reviews but we just want to be honest.

The location is fantastic everything is so convenient. The beach is just a short walk away, and you can easily explore the surrounding area without needing transport. Restaurants, cafes, and shops are all nearby. The rooms are spacious, very comfortable, and well maintained, with enough space to relax properly. The balconies add a lovely touch, making the stay even more enjoyable. The staff were attentive, friendly, and always ready to assist with anything we needed. They also provide parking, which is very convenient. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Unawatuna great comfort, excellent location, and good value for money🌊☀️

Absolutely gorgeous place with the most amazing view at the ocean. The room was very big, clean and the bed so comfortable. The staff is really friendly and always awailable for any kind of help. Thank you so much for everything, I hope I can come back another time!

Das Badezimmer war sehr sehr modern und groß. Die Besitzer und der Hotelonkel waren überaus freundlich, hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend.

Es war mir unmöglich ein Tuk Tuk für den abendlichen Spaziergang über Pickme oder Uber zu buchen - liegt aber leider generell an der Tuk-Tuk-Mafia-Situation welche ich in ganz Unawatuna am krassesten wahrgenommen habe. Der Besitzer war aber durchaus hilfsbereit und hat mir zu den gleichen Preisen wie auf der App zeitgleich eine Fahrer organisiert! Kann dem also kein Punktabzug geben.

Wonderful hotel with amazing hosts who always had a smile on their faces. Everything was very clean and super cozy, we truly felt at home. I could truly feel the love for detail in the interior design. There were plenty of shelves and storage spaces, cute paintings on the walls, and the colors matched beautifully. It was really decorated with so much care and love! A special highlight was the spacious room and the constant hot water with great water pressure - even on the 4th floor! The location is nice: close to the center yet in a quiet area (little uphill). The hosts also kindly helped us arrange a scooter rental. We would definitely come back!

Honestly, nothing really. There were just a few ants in the room, which didn’t bother us at all and is completely understandable given the location in nature.

Great hosts, helpful! Roomy place with a nice view

Everything. Location is perfect so close to all main beaches. Staff also. The owner ordered food for us. Booked a tuk tuk . The room is so clean with air condition , tv, clothing iron . I felt so safe like I was at my home.

Everything was fine, apartment looked cute and the staff was very nice and helpful

The bed is comfortable, the shower is great, and the owner is lovely. Even after we checked out, he let us use the bathroom so we could shower before heading to the airport. He also ordered us a taxi that was cheaper than the Pick Me app. I highly recommend this accommodation!

sehr sauber, sehr modernes Badezimmer mit gutem Wasserdruck. die Betten waren sehr gemütlich und hatten eine echte Bettdecke. die Gastgeber waren sehr nett und zuvorkommend wir kommen wieder ! + kostenloser Sonnenuntergang mit Blick über die Stadt

Der var rent og flot. Sengen var dejlig. De ansatte var utrolig søde og hjalp med at booke transfer til lufthavnen.

Det ligger godt oppe på en bakke, så det skal man være forberedt på, hvis man går op med sin bagage nede fra hovedvejen. Men det var ikke noget problem! Det er bare rart at vide på forhånd.

It was very peaceful spacious and silent

It was very far and the roads were narrow so if you want to stay away from the beach it's okay

Can’t recommend this place enough. Only had a quick 1 night visit but would’ve been happy to stay here a lot longer. So clean and the staff were really helpful, one of the best stays I’ve had in Sri Lanka and I’ve been traveling round for 4 weeks. And the bed 10/10 as well very very comfy.

Nothing

Calm and quiet.

Habitación muy grande y limpia, el personal encantador, el manager nos ha contado que estan trabajando en un restaurante y piscina, lo cual va a ser un gran punto a favor ya que la ubicacion queda un poco lejos del centro. Todo lo demas genial gracias.

Ubicación un poco complicada, pero si te gusta andar en 10 minutos estás al centro. Lo único que es una cuesta bastante empinada.

We had really good time here. The manager made us feel very welcome and all the time made sure everything was okay. Room was super clean! I definitely recommend this place!

Very clean. Great shower - powerful and lots of hot water. Comfortable bed and nice clean bed sheets. Room has ac. Friendly host.

Tv didn’t work. It is up a steep hill. Only takes about 5-10 mins from the main street, but to be aware.

Fantastische kamer met mooie badkamer. Heel fijn contact met de host van het hotel. Fijn geholpen met taxi naar volgende verblijf.

Hotel ligt op een berg, dus lopend naar het strand was niet ideaal. Tuktuk vroeg meer geld omdat hij bergop moest.

Nice place and good stuff

Alles super und Mega netter Besitzer, haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt❤️

la grandezza della stanza

posizione è su in montagna e non sempre i taxi ti vengono a prendere, se vengono ti chiedono un sovrapprezzo

De som eide stedet var utrolig hyggelige og svært hjelpsomme. Flott rom og bad! Fikk leid scooter

Noe tregt wifi til tider. Ligger ganske høyt oppe men tok kort tid med scooter/tuk tuk. Går også helt fint å gå :)

Lovely hosts, very welcoming, the room was lovely and as it’s set back it’s very quiet, just be mindful it’s on a hill with quite a walk up/down to the beach. However being set back meant you get the quiet and nature to enjoy.

Das Bett war sehr bequem und die Klima hat nicht direkt ins Gesicht geblasen - was sonst in Sri Lanka üblich ist. Das kann sehr störend sein in der Nacht!

Nichts

We truly enjoyed our stay at Kapaliya! It is a small oasis of calm, located up the hill away from the hustle of the town, surrounded by jungle and palm trees with a great view from the rooftop. The interior is stylish, new and modern. Everything is very clean and smells fresh. waking up to jungle sounds in the morning feels special. The people are nice and very friendly. We would definitely stay here again!

Sehr nettes Personal, saubere und großzügige Zimmer

Die Lage ist leider nicht optimal, viele TukTuk-Fahrer fahren dort nicht hin

Top Location

Je kan via een looppad binnen 6 minuten in het centrum zijn beneden. Mooi verblijf met schonen kamer en goede badkamer.

De deur sloot niet volledig goed af maar dat is minimaal.

Big rooms very clean, in a nice peaceful area

Nothing

Sehr schöner Ausblick und die Leute waren auch unglaublich zuvorkommend!

Big spacious, clean rooms. Very clean and lovely owners. They did our washing for us and anything we could have needed they would have been happy to help with. Location is a bit of a walk away from town, up a hill. If walking is an issue for you they do have scooters you can hire.

Great view, great room, amazing shower , nice staff, nice owner Booked two extra nights because we liked it that much

Value for money.

Very friendly and helpful staff and peaceful surroundings. In house laundry service was excellent. Only problem was access at night as tuk tuk drivers have difficulty getting up the hill. During the day you can walk to the beach and back via a short cut that was very helpfully demonstrated.

The place is fantastic and the people very nice

People

The room is very clean, with all the necessary items. Friendly hosts. A large bed. Warm water. A spacious bathroom.

On the ground floor, there is a lack of privacy as people are constantly walking by. The location is very inconvenient; the guesthouse is situated on a hill. It’s far from both the city center and the ocean. Suitable for those who enjoy hiking in the mountains.Poor Wi-Fi.

I had a wonderful stay at Kapaliya in Unawatuna. The location is incredibly convenient, especially for surfing at Unawatuna Beach, which was a big plus for me. The room was spacious, very clean, and well-maintained. The price is very reasonable, offering great value for money. The hotel manager was an exceptional host—very friendly and helpful, with excellent coordination throughout my stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Unawatuna!

It was extremely clean. The bed was massive & very comfortable. We loved the hosts, they were very accommodating and friendly.

The Rooms were cozy and well maintained. There was a nice view. What I most appreciate is the calmness of the place. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a vacation to get away from all the hustle and bustle. We stayed for 3 days. The staff were friendly and supportive. Worthy for the amount paid. They didn’t have a restaurant. But there are lots of options available in UberEats.

The route to reach the place wasn’t that easy. Hence the pick me or Uber drivers won’t pick your ride. Ask the staff. They will find you a tuktuk without any hesitation.

Spacious and comfortable

Very beatiful view, quiet and friendly owner.

+perfect cozy hotel in a wyiet location If u are tired of main beach street noises, its a good choice. Be advised, more comfortable to reach out via tuktuk, and hosts kindly help with it +best seaview & rooftop spotfor sunset lunch w/a glass of wine +good facilities in room, nice decorations & super clean on the territory + and very welcoming hosts. See you next time in unawatuna) thank u for our vacation

It will be nice sometime to serve a breakfast, but it wasn't problem for us

Great room and the host was excellent, always helping with anything I needed at the room, moderate walk to centre of Unawatuna or simple fast tuktuk. Great quiet location away from the business of Unawatuna.

The room was comfortable.

The gentleman running the hotel overcharged us a bit for the room but since we couldn't communicate with him we ended up paying him the extra 15 dollars and didn´t make a fuss. The property is really out of the way which makes a challenge for some of the tuktuks. Also no breakfast place nearby or supermarket if you stay here stock up before you make it back to the hotel.

Wonderful sea view from the terrace. Comfortable room. Renovation. Safe private territory. Quiet.

Spiral staircase is beautiful but impractical. Lack of catering or food facilities. Hard to get a taxi from there.

Staff and neatness

They had secure car parking. View is amazing. Spacious rooms. Friendly staff

Kind staff and nice room. Short way to the main street. Scooter rental available.

Unfortunately the staff doesn't speak much english. Also we stayed for 5 nights and the room was never cleaned. The hotel is abit hard to reach up a hill.

The accommodation was exceptionally clean, spacious, and modern. We particularly appreciated the bathroom, which stood out as the best among all the places we stayed during our three-week visit to Sri Lanka.

The location posed challenges, as tuk tuk drivers consistently charged extra for navigating the mountainous road to reach the property. Fortunately, the hotel staff assisted us in arranging reliable tuk tuks, and we saved their contact for future pickups at a fair price

Nice and well equipped room.

The rooms were very clean and the staff were very friendly and easy going. The view from the room was beautiful

It was really far from everything and getting a tuk tuk to take me back was nearly impossible as they don’t like mountain roads. Also the internet didn’t work at all the first day. There’s nothing at the hotel (no kitchen, no pool, no club room) where I can chill.

the hotel is newly built, the staff is polite.

the sheet smells not good. they don't provide shampoo or shower gel. the most important thing is that the location! it's on the hill, you cannot drive to the hotel,you need to take tuk tuk, but the hotel gives you a super high price for the tuk tuk. you need to walk in the dark road for 10 mins, then there is a restaurant.

The room was very comfortable, clean and spacious. The room itself was equipped with everything you would need. If you get a moped, the location is 5 mins away from everything we wanted to go to in Unawatuna. The staff were very friendly.

The hotel is located on a very steep hill which would have been a bit of a nightmare if we weren’t happy to get mopeds.

Yanan was a very polite and attentive young man, very helpful and was always there when we needed him! The property is clean and comfortable and very well kept.

Up a big hill which was problematic for tuktuks, bikes are essential to get about. The hotel is currently going through building stages,however, I imagine when it’s complete it will be brilliant.

Really comfortable room with great views from the balcony. Super friendly owners. Took us with them on a ride to galle!

*We checked in quite early and the room was ready for us. *Guy helped us with the luggage too. * In the evening we ordered a take away and he provided forks for us. *Bed was super comfy and the AC worked quite well.

*In the room there was only one towel (instead of two), there was no rubbish and no toilet paper either (later the latter was provided when we asked for it). *You definitely need transport to go up there. Don't wanna imagine myself walking up there..we had a tuktuk so it worked out just fine. *There were ants on the bathroom towel when we arrived...had to use my repellent to get rid of them as there were many.
