    The Sri Lankan breakfast at Santori was absolutely delicious, and it was the highlight of our trip. The rooms were incredibly spacious, and the bathroom envy lasted for days. We've stayed at top hotels before, but none were as nice as this guesthouse. What truly sets Santori apart is the friendly and attentive couple who run it. They genuinely care about their guests' needs and are constantly improving the hotel, adding a pool, outdoor restaurant, and fridges in the rooms. The location is also great, with easy access to Galle and a short walk to the beautiful beach. I highly recommend staying at Santori – it's definitely more than a five-star experience.

    The value for money at this hotel is outstanding. The prices are reasonable and you get so much in return. From the attention to detail in the rooms to the excellent location just 5 minutes away from the beautiful Unawatuna beach, this hotel truly offers a fantastic deal. The staff is friendly, providing great service, and the basic amenities in the rooms make for a comfortable stay. The rooms themselves are perfect, with an excellent sunrise view from the substantial balcony. The addition of a fridge is a nice touch to keep drinks cool in the heat, and the terrace adds an extra space to relax and unwind. Lastly, the breakfast is delicious and satisfying, providing a great start to the day.

    All was just perfect.

    This hotel is situated very close to the beach, making it easy to enjoy the sea. the rooms are comfortable and come with AC and fans. the staff is friendly and willing to share local knowledge. the breakfast is basic but fresh and satisfying. the hotel has good WiFi, and there is a balcony with impressive views.

    Occasional noise from the street can be bothersome.

    Spending my Christmas at this cozy boarding house was a delight! the room was spotless and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. the green location was so peaceful and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of the busy city, but still conveniently located just a short 10-minute walk to the beach and local restaurants. I also loved the fact that tea/coffee was offered upon arrival and the breakfast was always fresh and tasty.

    The Santori Unawatuna in Unawatuna was a wonderful place to stay. The villa was cozy and clean, with spacious and comfortable rooms. We loved the location, being just a short walk away from both the main beach and the jungle beach. The staff, including the amazing host Christy, were friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was delicious and affordable, with a great variety of local dishes to try. a fantastic experience.

    Everything was fantastic.

    I had a fantastic stay at this hotel in Unawatuna. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the beautiful beach and surrounded by peaceful surroundings. The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed. The rooms were spacious and well-maintained, with a comfortable bed and a nice touch of having a fridge to keep drinks cool. The breakfast was delicious, with a variety of options including eggs, toasts, pancakes, and fresh fruits gathered from the hotel's own garden. this hotel offered great value for money and I would definitely stay here again.

    Everything was perfect, nothing could be improved.

    I had an amazing time in this hotel. Everything was great from the moment I arrived until I left. The room was spacious with a private balcony, and the hotel facilities were fantastic. I was impressed by the cleanliness of the room and the hotel in general. The staff were also friendly and very helpful in providing information about transportation and things to do in and around this city. Moreover, this hotel was very close to the ocean, so I could hear the waves from my room. I was also able to walk to everything I needed, including restaurants and shops. Finally, the breakfast spread was amazing!

    Nothing, no complaints at all.

    Spent Christmas at a new hotel and it was a decent experience. The rooms were clean and spacious, and the staff was friendly. The location was convenient – just a short walk to the beach and nearby restaurants. I enjoyed the complimentary breakfast and the fact that the hotel had a shared lounge for relaxing.

    There were some downsides to the hotel. there was some construction noise from the nearby building site during the day which was a bit annoying.
