Pros:

We had a lovely stay at villa Rumassala, so much so we have arranged to return already.
The staff are lovely and very attentive and the location is perfect, about a 20/25 minute walk to Unawatuna beach or a quick tuktuk journey if you don’t enjoy walking.
Breakfast was lovely also with lots of options . We also had a room with a kitchen and they supplied everything that we needed to make meals etc

Ok
Pros:

Hot water - yes. Water preasure - yes. Comfortable bed- yes and we did request more pillows since the original ones were flat. The staff is kind and would assist when there was a problem. The hotel is located down a long road away from the busy road. The long road is filled with potholes and quite narrow. It is treacherous after a rain because of the deep puddles and the splashing mud of a passing tuktuk or car.

Cons:

We had 144 steps all the way up to our room. Once we got there we looked at the roof of the bungalow in front of us. Not worth those steps or price. At night there were several spots where there was no lighting on the steps. You do need your phone's flashlight once the sun has gone down.

Отличная вилла, очень большой просторный номер, вид на джунгли потрясающий 😍
Pros:

Огромный номер, с холодильником, кухней, даже стиральная машина есть. Очень красивый вид, окна в пол, с утра видно рассвет. Перед номером есть кресла и столик, чтобы сидеть и наслаждаться видами.

Cons:

Отдыхали в марте месяце, еще строили лифт. Нас поселили на «шестом» этаже) для нас это не было проблемой, но кому-то может будет тяжело каждый раз подниматься так высоко.

Un confort exceptionnel et une table de qualité, mais des détails à revoir sur le calme.
Pros:

😊 Ce que nous avons aimé :
• La chambre : Un confort exceptionnel ! La literie est de très haute qualité, ce qui garantit de superbes nuits.
• Le service & l'accueil : À notre arrivée, le personnel a été d'une gentillesse et d'une aide remarquables.
• La table : Le restaurant est un vrai point fort de l'établissement, nous nous sommes régalés à chaque repas.
• Les équipements : La présence d'une machine à laver est un "petit plus" extrêmement pratique pour les voyageurs. Le Wi-Fi est également très performant.

Cons:

🙁 Ce qui pourrait être amélioré :
• Le départ : Très déçus par le check-out. Autant l'accueil était chaleureux, autant le départ a été expéditif et froid.c'est dommage pour un hôtel de ce standing.
• L'espace piscine : Très difficile de s'y détendre. La musique est beaucoup trop forte (trop de basses) et de nombreux transats sont bloqués toute la journée par des clients absents, sans que la direction n'intervienne.
• Le bruit au RDC : Notre chambre était située entre les voitures, les poubelles et le groupe électrogène. Demandez impérativement un étage pour éviter ces nuisances sonores et visuelles. On subit la musique de la piscine aussi.
• Localisation : L'hôtel est un peu à l'écart, ce qui demande un peu d'organisation pour les déplacements.
Conclusion : Un établissement avec un fort potentiel grâce à son confort et sa cuisine, mais qui doit corriger sa gestion de la piscine et soigner l'expérience client jusqu'au moment du départ.

Veľmi príjemný hotel s krásnym prostredím a výnimočne milým personálom
Pros:

Mimoriadne príjemný a ústretový personál je najväčším plusom hotela. Izby sú veľké, čisté a postele sú veľmi pohodlné. Raňajky chutné s bohatým výberom a príjemným prostredím. Veľmi málo komárov v celom areáli.

Cons:

Malý kávovar, ktorý kapacitne nestíhal. Pri bazéne iba 10 miest na ležanie. V izbe bolo výrazne cítiť prostriedky proti komárom. Reštauračné menu je dosť obmedzené, pri dlhšom pobyte môže výber jedál rýchle omrzieť.

Perfect time in Unawatuna with extremely kind staff
Pros:

The place is just fantastic. So good environment. You feel so welcomed from the very beginning. The staff is very attentive and caring. They are lovely people. Rooms are extremely clean, spacious and comfortable.
Breakfast is a mix of Sri Lankan with Continental options so as European you don’t need to worry :)
They organised for guests a special fire show which was presenting Sri Lankan culture even better alongside with typical Sri Lankan dinner.
If we are ever back to Unawatuna this is our choice for accommodation - no doubts!

Cons:

Everything was so perfect

A great location boutique hotel with beautiful suites.
Pros:

This boutique hotel is very nice located very close to the shops and restaurants. The rooms are spectacular, especially the suites have everything you need from a small kitchen, washing machine, big bathroom and a nice mosaic bath tube. Special thanks to the guys who very kindly brought up the luggage from the reception.

Cons:

They’re working on a Elevator, but if you get the rooms or SUITE in the highest point of the hotel, get ready to climb for more than 200 steps.

Pros:

Villa Rumassala liegt etwas ab vom Schuss, dadurch hat man aber einfach den schönsten Ausblick überhaupt und es ist wunderbar ruhig.
Wir hatten das höchste Chalet, das wunderschön war, was jedoch bedeutete, dass man mehr als 150 Stufen hochlaufen musste, da es momentan noch keinen Fahrstuhl gibt. Wir hätten uns gewünscht, das vorher zu wissen, da man doch mehrmals am Tag hoch und runter gehen musste.
Ansonsten ist die Unterkunft perfekt, tolles Personal, gutes Frühstück, angenehmer Pool.

Cons:

Es gibt noch einige dinge, die vor ort fertig gestellt werden müssen, dann ist es eine 10/10
Das Bett fanden wir persönlich viel zu weich, aber das ist geschmackssache.

Very relaxing stay with beautiful setting and friendly staff
Pros:

Really nice setting. Really lovely staff. We booked a double chalet but our friend’s accommodation (at a different hotel) fell through so we asked (when we arrived) if we could add another guest. The staff were very accommodating and said it was no problem- they also upgraded us to a family chalet so we had more room for 3 (we only paid a little extra but not for the upgrade). Breakfast had a lot of choice and was really delicious. They would leave bottles of water on our balcony for us for when we woke up. The chalet even had a washing machine and kitchen! Was a really relaxing and enjoyable stay!

Cons:

Our chalet was up a lot of stairs but they appear to be building a lift.
