Nothing

Best staff, who went above and beyond to ensure us a good time. The breakfast was a lot and very good and they made sure to come up with new variations every day and cared for us being vegetarian as well. During breakfast, we could see monkeys in the surrounding area almost everyday. The pool was clean and the room spacious and equipped with everything we needed. Had a great relaxing week of vacation.

The town is strongly oriented on the many russian tourists.

The manager is an extremely kind and smart guy. Since the hotel was not full, we received an upgrade. The room was very spacious, practical and clean. The hotel has a number of patio’s where it is very nice to sit. The pool is also a treat, even so close to the beach.

Chamod was an excellent host. We had a lovely time at Urchin where we felt very at home. The pool was very relaxing and the beach just a stones throw. Lots of amazing places to eat around, with the majority just under a 20 minute walk from the hotel. Chamod helped with everything we needed and more, the room was excellent, very clean with great AC. We will definitely stay here again!

Power failure from time to time. Annoying at night time because the AC didn't work. AC was pointing directly at the bed

Friendly staff Good location

The bathroom window is not totally close so the mosquittos can get in, it was a little anoying and the pool filter was broken so we couldn’t really swim, but they fixed it on the last day

The room is big and well organise, hot shower, nice bed

It had a nice pool and it is not that far from the main road. It is also super close to the beach, which was really nice. The staff was super helpful with everything. They also have cheap water that you can just grab downstairs. Definitely recommend this place!

- AC - pool - kind host - kitchen - price-value

Karan was a fantastic host he really went above and beyond to make sure everything was great. The room was fantastic, clean and spacious we really enjoyed our stay at Urchin Unawatuna. The pool was clean and well maintained. All good really 10 out of 10

The only redommendation I'd have is to update the bedding as it had slightly dampy smell to it. Also, Unawatuna is just infested with rude Russians so anyone who is planning to stay in this town, should be aware of it.

First of all - the pool, it was great to have it on a super hot days and be able to cool down and enjoy the shade. I swam in it every evening just to cool down from the heat too. pretty good location to walk to several beaches, catch the bus to other towns on the south coast and also walk to the main part of town for dinner. Very friendly and helpful manager :)

A very special hotel set in beautiful garden .The pool was stunning and relaxing to cool off surrounded by tropical garden. The manager is super nice and helpful. Amazing place to stay.

Stayed in February 2024

A small fridge in the room would have been handy to keep drinks cool, but there is a communal kitchen area.

We loved the quiet location on the edge of town, yet an easy walk to the beach, bars and restaurants. The accommodation had a fresh Mediterranean feel that we loved! Spacious rooms with AC, WiFi and a great guide of the local area! Such a good touch.
