Beautiful scenery with a river surrounding the bungalows. Large appartment (no kitchen though only sink) and quite clean. You feel like sleeping in the forest with the sounds of birds and frogs and so many other animals! Theres even a varan roaming in the garden. Breakfast is huge but only local (rice and curry and roti). Staff is adorable although they don't really speak English but you can order anything with the hotel manager through whatsapp. They have a restaurant that delivers food upon ordering.

Watch out for the dogs at night as they can get quite angry at guests or just ask the staff to keep them inside or chained at night

This little gem is such an amazing place. You're hidden in the jungle but still close to the main road. The room is big with a very comfy bed, and I had the most adorable balcony with a stunning view. The owner, Prasad, is one of the most gentle and kind person that I've met and will go out of his way to make you feel welcomed and that you have everything you need. Breakfast was delicious and you can also order dinner at a very fair price with a huge portion of food. He took me to see the monitor lizards in the property, which was amazing. I will come back and 100% recommend Milkyway Holiday Resort.

The property was really interesting! There were many monitor lizards, as well as monkeys, peacocks, and their lovely dogs. We enjoyed sitting in front of our room while watching the wildlife. The location is good, many options for restaurants just a short walk or tuk tuk away. We had breakfast at Milkyway and we were not disappointed, lots of food and very tasty for a good price.

Sometimes our air conditioner wouldn't turn on. Seemed almost as if I breaker was tripping.

Very friendly and helpful owner! Met us at the room with a welcome coffee. Brought us coconuts from his land. Room has a fan and AC. Breakfast for a very good price was large and tasty. Can organise evening food if you say in advance. Bathroom is a bolt on to the main bedroom so a semi outside experience. Hot water in shower. Use Pickme app.

No room towels. Our mattress was out of shape but I did inform the owner. Curtains would move around very easily with fan on meaning less privacy or hitting you at night in bed. Located just outside of the beach area so must walk or tuktuk.

We loved the surroundings of the resort, it's like staying in the middle of a tropical forest. You can easily spot water monitors in the stream, mud crabs, loads of colorful birds and monkeys in the tree tops. The rooms are quite basic, you might a encounter a bug or a gecko inside, but overall they're clean and comfortable. The AC works well and there is hot water in the shower. On top of that, the owner is very kind and helpful. We were greeted with a complementary coconut and had good breakfast for a great price. Location is great to get to both Unawatuna and Dalawella beaches.

The fan in the room could use a wipe, it was a bit dusty. The faucet in the bathroom should be descaled, as the water was coming out at a weird angle and flooding the floor if you weren't careful.

The property is beautiful, very close to nature. You can see giant water lizards, birds, fireflies, crabs and more. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. AC worked great too. The staff also bring you fresh coconut and a big smile each morning - would highly recommend.

There is no hot water (not the end of the world as it was quite warm), no sheet to cover yourself at night and only one towel was provided (we were two people).

I really love the place! The host took care of me so much, helped with everything. When I needed I was given breakfasts and lunches, room cleaning, good wi fi - everything. And everybody here were so polite and friendly. I stayed many places in Unawatuna, but this one is my beloved! I will definitely come back. And by the way the area around is so beautiful: amazing nature, animals and birds. Thanks for everything!

Everything is excellent.
