    There was no indication of breakfast being provided, either when I arrived or any of the mornings. The location is also okay (shops very close), but there are definitely closer options to the beach.

    The owners were lovely, very friendly and helpful! Everything in the room was as expected, it was a large single room with a clean and working bathroom (I didn't try the hot water).

    Owner and his family were very welcoming and helpful. There was a mosquito net and very good fan. Guesthouse is located close to shop, restaurant and a bus stop which is very convenient. During the evening walk to our house we were lucky to see fireflies. Everything was perfect! Fair price for the value!

    The pillows were a little hard but everything else was so good we didnt mind!

    The owner of the guesthouse is so lovely! He gave us coffee every morning and was an amazing person to talk too, he even invited us into his kitchen to try his homemade sri lankan food (delicious)! You can see monkeys in the trees early in the morning from the balcony whilst you drink your coffee. The room and bathroom were a good size. We would definitely stay again! Thank you

    I don't know, maybe the door to the room (or the vents above it) were slightly dusty.

    I loved staying here. It's close to the bus stop/railway station/main road but at the same time, it's a little bit tucked away and pretty quiet. There's a lot of greenery around, mango trees, guava trees, coconut trees, you name it. The room and the bed were clean and comfortable and the Wifi worked very well. The owner welcomed me heartily and overall, he was just very warm and kind. He lent me his torch in case of powercuts (its light was quite intense so during the power cuts, it was a very powerful source of light). I also ate there on a couple of occassions and the food was delicious.

    The rolling power blackouts, which are no fault of the hotel.

    It's cheaply priced in a good location between Galle and unawatuna beach and very close to unawatuna railway station. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

    Nothing.

    Spacious room. Extremely hospitable hosts. Walkable distance to the main Unawatuna beach and the Jungle beach. The fastest Wi-Fi connection that I had in Sri Lanka. While checking-in I was offered breakfasts and dinners for less than 2 USD for each, ended up staying on a half-board. Breakfasts were filling and pretty good; dinners were very delicious. Cargills grocery store just 4 minutes away.

    Bed mattress was quite uncomfortable and hard. However, for the price, it really wasn’t a problem. Just could do with a bit of a thicker mattress to counteract the hard bed frame.

    The owner who greeted us did so with such enthusiasm; it was as if we’d already met. The rooms were nicely finished, super clean, spacious and airy. The WiFi was the best strength we’ve had so far in Sri Lanka, there was virtually no delay on loading anything!

    The second time I stayed at RP, I got a smaller room that smelled of mold and it was very stuffy inside. The single beds were to small for me and I was almost getting suffocated by the mosquito net as it was not held by any construction above the bed. Plus the bathroom door could not be properly closed as the door did not fit the frame. Unfortunately, there is also no hot water, but that I did not mind that much. And as for the location, it is a short walk from the bus stop, which for me was perfect as I was taking it to the Dewata beach. But it is a long walk from the Unawatuna beach.

    I very much enjoyed my first stay at Rest Pint (though at night I was often woken up by barking dogs that are running around the property). My room was very spacious and the bed was big. The nicest part about RP was definitely the staff which was very friendly, accommodating, and made me feel welcome.

    There is a hole instead of window in bathroom and there were ants, we had a cockroach 🪳, and mosquito nets smell bad, we slept without it. I recommend to have a mosquito repellent which you can plug in to the socket. And there was only one socket. we had a adapter so it was not a problem for us. It’s not in the Main Street, but still it is pretty loud in the morning, and there is a sanctuary close by. Hard pillows and bed.

    Good localisation, close to the train station and bus stops. 15 min by walking to the beach and 40 to jungle beach. Our things were moved to our room when it was not ready yet. it was very nice. Nice owner and his family. He was always eager to answer questions. The price is very low but still our room was clean, clean bed, clean bathroom. There are some restaurants close by and a supermarket just like 5 min walking. There is a bench in front of the room, it is nice to spend there some time. Nice and friendly dogs.
