Reviews of Sleepy Head Guesthouse

In August, we visited Venita and Darshaka. They are a nice, pleasant, sociable family. The apartment is beautiful, spacious, with a comfortable kitchen, with access from each room to the terrace and beautiful views. There are palm trees around, lots of birds, and the sweetest palm squirrels. In the mornings and evenings, a family of monkeys comes close. Darshaka helped us with trips to the airport and Yala National Park, and was always ready to help with advice. Venita is an amazing hospitable hostess, she prepared delicious breakfasts that will remain in our hearts. Not far from the house is the unforgettable beach of Unawatuna. We highly recommend this guest house to everyone. We will be happy to return there ourselves) We wish the hosts every well-being, prosperity and grateful guests!

Unawatuna is characterized by the lack of conditions for comfortable movement of pedestrians. There is heavy traffic on the roads. But this is not related to the guest house, which is located in a quiet corner away from a busy road.

Good place for 1 night. Located near beach , shops and the restaurant. It was clean.

The bedsheet was clean but it smelled like a dump. Also some visible mould on the walls. Basic accommodation. There was a kettle in the room and cups plus sugar but no coffee or tea. Beach was very busy.

Very clean, great breakfast and awesome location right in the middle of nature. Recommended!

I liked the view from the room. Room was spacious and comfortable. Hot water provided. Very quiet place and not so far from the center or beach.

Smell of mold and used soap under the shower.

A family run guest house, Vinitha, the owner (and her son) was a beautiful, warm, lady, like your mother away from home. Kind and friendly, made me lovely coconut pancakes one morning for no reason. Offers a great cooking class, where we made 7 of the best tasting Sri Lankan curries I have tasted ever! Room is clean and comfortable, in a great location 3 mins walk from beach, restaurants etc. Very near all the action. Surrounded with wildlife and their own friendly wild chipmunks that come daily for breakfast. Very highly recommended place especially considering the cost! We loved it 😁

Minor things which the owners instantly remedied. It far exceeded my expectations!

Lovely clean accomadation surrounded by forest, very nice hosts!

I liked the nature around the Gest house. The birds made a nest in the lampshade. It's so cute. Friendly owners.

Stuffiness and humidity in the room. When we checked in, all the bed linen was damp. The bathroom smells like sewage. In the bathroom the shower head is clogged with rust, the water flow is very weak. hot water is pouring boiling water, you can wash only if you open a separate tap with cold water and connect these two streams. We lived for two nights with the air conditioner not working. The canopy is not new, covered in patches. The wardrobe did not have a key. There is no kettle in the room, but the owner can provide boiling water for tea. I do not recommend this hotel because it is impossible to sleep in it at night due to the humidity and stuffiness.

Good location, near the beach, fruit shop, and places with food and a small shop

My room did not meet my expectations from the photos. Maybe it was just my number that was like that. There was no refrigerator in it, although there was one in the same room next door. I didn't have an impression of my room, but I can't say that the room was just very bad

The room is on the third floor with a great view, very quite area,no traffic. AC worked perfectly. The bed was comfortable. In the room you can find everything you need.

very good place. The owner is also very hospitable! He can make tours around sri lanka! I recommend it!!!
