"Pros: If you’re looking to immerse yourself in a remote area of the Unawatuna jungles while maintaining easy access to the beach and tourist attractions, this apartment is an excellent choice. You'll have complete privacy with neighbors who are separated and unseen (at least during our two-night stay). The apartment features two comfortable rooms, a sitting area, a kitchen corner, a patio, a clean basic bathroom, and even a washing machine. The path to the beach is quite captivating, offering a glimpse into authentic village life beyond the tourist spots. It takes around 20 minutes to walk to the beach, but a Tuk-tuk is much quicker, and one can be arranged through the host. Randhi, the host, is incredibly kind, enthusiastic, and helpful; she directed our driver to the apartment, organized a trip to Galle, and even brought us an extra adapter upon request - truly a perfect host! Cons: Randhi mentioned that residing in the jingles requires some acceptance of discomfort. She noted that she preferred not to "poison us" with fly pesticide, resulting in our coexistence with flies." ~Nino

"Pros: The property was little but further from the centre but we rented a bike so we didn’t mind that much. The room was clean and breakfast was nice." ~Kristyna

"Pros: So many things to like, very much at " Birds Nest". Firstly..: the hosts themselves..and their son...ALL great company,polite to the extreme, welcoming me and genuinely making me feel part of 'The Family'...: inviting me to ,without hesitation, use or at least stroll through..: THEIR section of their beautiful, huge dwelling. My section..: superb. Starting in a great sized living area/totally reliable wifi/outstanding quality fittings /good lighting/an added attraction : a fish pond : one of these always adds /reflects thoughfulness on the hosts ! The adjacent bedroom and bathroom...great/more than adequate sized/air conditioned ..PLUS : mosquito free when simple precautions are taken,which do NOT detract from your comfort . Off the living room...huge kitchen..: ALL essential utensils/refrigerator/tea,coffee,kettle ,etc. Nothing 'missing' ! My hosts lovely wife...on at least 2 occasions..: provided me with a cooked home-made meal...: straight from THEIR oven ! No request by me...just simple generosity/warm heartedness . I can tell you...when away from your OWN country ..: without any prompting..: for someone to even think of that and then DO it...in a way..: that sums up " Birds Nest "..! Location..:outstanding,as a 10 minute walk takes you to the beach/great little pubs/small supermarket (all basic essentials and Visa Cards accepted !). I'd not hesitate in staying again and heartly recommend any other travellers to do likewise. ( Another great sized apartment is in the process of being completed...it will overlook an outstanding front lawn section...beautifully shaded section ..: just one more attraction of " Birds Nest' . I was very reluctant to leave...my time was limited : the only reason !) Cons: Look..in all honesty..: there was NOTHING to dislike ! I'd be very baffled by anyone who could find a 'dislike" with " Birds Nest " !" ~Christopher
