Stayed just the one night (unfortunately) at Pipels House. Spent most of the day and evening on the beach and by the bars but Pipels House was a great place to relax and get refreshed. Booked the family room - two double beds (two guys, we didn't fancy sharing the bed) but bathroom is not connected to the room which... More

We've just returned from a whistle-stop trip to Sri Lanka during which we booked a 2 night stay at Pipels House. Our decision was based largely on Trip Advisor reviews. We had the room to the front of the house on the 1st floor, which was small, but adequate for our needs and clean. If you want piece and quiet,... More

We are traveling with our 2 kids and booked Pipel's house as they has a "family" room available, which can be somewhat difficult to find at times. When we first arrived we were a little surprised to find the room on top of a restaurant filled with young people. It really turned out to be no big deal as things... More

We stayed in quite a few guesthouses in the 9 days in Sri Lanka and this was by far the best. Owner was really helpful, food was great, location was great for getting to the beach and the main road. We had the top floor apartment and this is by far the best. Great views and loads of space.

My girlfriend and I stayed in a total of 7 guesthouses in Sri Lanka over 3 and a half weeks. This one was the best. We were initially going to stay in Unawatuna for 3 nights but in the end we stayed 7. We got the apartment in the top floor, which was awesome. The bed was the most comfortable... More

We stayed in many guesthouses during our stay in Sri Lanka but none came close to high standards of Pipels House, we loved it there so much we ended up staying for a month. With only 100m walk to the beach and with rooms that are beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean we couldnt of wanted more. Julien, Rama and Nisa... More

Firstly, the review in LP doesn't give Pipel's House the amazing credit it deserves! My boyfriend and I had a very enjoyable stay here! The shared bath was impeccably clean!! Solar powered hot water (which lasted the entirety of our showers) and the incredible pressure did our tired bodies well. The food was delicious, especially the bruschetta, which was (obviously)...
