    Title: Great location, friendly staff

    Loved how bugs and animals freely roamed the room. Added excitement to my sleep, especially when bugs crawled on my face and mice scurried under the bed.

    I had the pleasure of staying at White House in Unawatuna and I must say it was a fantastic experience. the owner was the best I have ever encountered, taking great care of me and providing valuable information. the breakfast provided was not only delicious, but also very affordable. For around 7 USD, I received a generous portion. the room itself was well-maintained and offered great value for the price. the location was perfect, just a minute's walk from the beach , making it extremely convenient. the staff were friendly and the overall atmosphere was welcoming. If you're looking for basic accommodation with a friendly family atmosphere, this is the place to be. the property is surrounded by beautiful wildlife, with numerous bird species, monkeys, and even a pet cow.

    Nothing for me 👍

    The room at White House was so cozy and comfortable, it felt like a home away from home. I loved the air conditioning, it kept me super cool on hot nights. The free WiFi was a great perk, I could easily stay connected. And who doesn't love free bottled water? It was a nice touch!

    Personally, I would have preferred if the room had a balcony. But hey, that's just my preference.

    Located 2 minutes from the ocean, this place offers basic rooms with necessary facilities like stove, kettle, and fridge. Delicious Sri Lankan meals can be ordered with larger portions than nearby restaurants. Hosts offer culinary classes and sell fruits at lower prices. Beautiful wildlife on the property includes peacocks, monkeys, and more.

    The room at White House was fantastic! It had air conditioning, which was a lifesaver in the hot weather. The free WiFi was a huge bonus, allowing me to easily stay connected. I also loved the complimentary bottled water - such a thoughtful touch by the friendly family who runs the place.

    Personally, I wasn't a fan of the showers in the bathrooms. But hey, that's just me.

    I got great value for my money at this unique and affordable hotel. The room was basic but comfortable, and the location was quiet and just a short walk from the beach. The family who owns the hotel were incredibly sweet, friendly, and helpful during my stay.

    Hotel breakfast could have been better.

    Great location right by the beach and close to restaurants.

    Room was not comfortable and the house was not fancy.

    This place was mind-blowing! The atmosphere was super comfortable and the owners treated me like family. The Sri Lankan breakfast was jaw-droppingly delicious, and the wildlife in the garden, including monkeys and peacocks, made it a paradise for animal lovers. The family went above and beyond to ensure my stay was enjoyable. Plus, the location was unbeatable, just a minute's walk to the beach and a short ride to nearby attractions. Highly recommend the cooking class and chatting with locals. 100% satisfied!

    During my recent business trip to Unawatuna, I had the pleasure of staying at the White House, a hotel chosen by my director. The experience was delightful and the hotel exceeded my expectations in many ways.

    Despite the overwhelmingly positive aspects of my stay at the White House, there was one minor issue that I encountered.

    Great location near beautiful beaches and attractions. Friendly staff, free parking, and a lovely garden. Enjoyed a tasty breakfast and had access to shared kitchen facilities.

    Loved seeing animals chained up, especially the dangerous dog. Such a pleasure to be surrounded by rubbish.

    The location of the guesthouse was fantastic, being just a short walk from the beautiful beach. the staff were very friendly and helpful, always ready to provide assistance. I also enjoyed the delicious food at affordable prices.

    The cleanliness of the rooms was a major drawback, with spiderwebs and rat droppings present. the bathrooms were not up to standard, lacking proper cleanliness and hygiene.
