The owner was super nice! She made us the most delicious breakfast! Also, there is an open kitchen that you can use and a fridge - which is a big plus. I think this accomodation can be described as the absolute best value for the money! Air conditioning works great, room was very comfortable! Includes hot shower!

The location is a bit far from center and the beach

Everything was great with good breakfast especially for those who want to be far away from crowdy area and relax

It is a little away from the Main Street with restaurants but with a scooter only 5 minutes.

Our favourite stay in Sri Lanka! From the very start we were greeted by Tharanga, who showed us to our room straight away. The rooms were clean, comfy and had everything we needed! Tharanga then brought us up some fresh lemonades, and explained to us all about the things to see and do in Unawatuna. She also sorted a scooter out for us and our laundry which was so helpful! Nothing was an issue at all whilst staying here. Tharanga was the most amazing host, drawing us a beautiful drawing that we will keep forever! The breakfast was different every morning and was so tasty! We would definitely come back and recommend to anyone to stay here!

Great value for money, in a very nice area away from the hustle and bustle. Surrounded by jungle and monkeys. Room was very comfortable with a nice breakfast. Awesome host who helped organise a scooter for us.

Our stay at Monara was delightful. It is outside the hustle and bustle of the town but very easy to get a Tuktuk and definitely walkable. Tharanga was the perfect host. She ensured that we had everything we needed to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We availed of the laundry service while here which was an added bonus. The air conditioning was excellent and the room was spotless. We highly recommend staying at Monara Backpacker Inn.

This place was just perfect. Simple room, but very clean, confortable bed, AC working great, good hot shower. The location is very close to Unawatuna train station, which is very quiet and away from the crowds. But the best is the hosts: an amazing family, that did everything to make us feel like home!

Very nice accomodation a bit outside the hustle an bustle of Unawatuna. For us this was perfect, because we don`'t like to stay in very touristy areas.It was very quite and a nice room. The host speaks very good english and they have a three-leged nice and friendly dog. The room was very nice. Breakfast ok. Parking right in front of te room.

Tharanga was the most amazing host , she went out of her way to make us feel at home and welcome. The guesthouse is beautiful, clean , spacious and so peaceful. It is in a great location a short tuk tuk to all of the attractions and you can walk to the railway. Do not hesitate to book here. Thank you so much for all of your help Tharanga. Leila and Ella x

Everything! As soon as we walked in to our room it smelt very clean, the bed sheets were clean, the bathroom was clean, everything was very clean. Our favourite part of staying at Monara was the host. She was so cute and so helpful! She made us an amazing breakfast and fresh juice every morning, she helped us get Tuktuk’s around town, she let us use two scooters to get around at a very reasonable price, she did our laundry which came back smelling extremely clean and the beds were very comfy. Over all the stay was 10/10 and we would definitely go back!

All was perfect

Thakanga welcomed us perfectly. She is speaking a very good English. The accommodation is a bit far from the beach, but the advantage is that it's very quiet. If you need, you have a lot of possibilities to rent bikes or motorbikes.
