A very pleasant hotel, a tutu ride away from Galle, but with its own swimming pool and private beach (small), the service staff are very friendly and the cleaning is timely.

I am more satisfied than the five-star hotel I stayed in this trip. It is very stylish. Every detail reveals the good taste of the hotel owner.

This small and beautiful boutique hotel offers a super tranquil and luxury escape away from the hustle and bustle of Unawatuna on Sri Lanka’s south coast. The colonial design of the hotel with just seven rooms to choose from, combines local charm with incredible personal service. Add to that its private beach just across the road from the hotel and you have a stunning hotel we would love to return to. We even saw turtles from the beach. Sergeant House in Unawatuna has a really laid-back yet stylish vibe. The staff are incredibly welcoming, and there’s a super homely feeling to the place, When you enter the property from a busy road you can’t believe how quiet the space is and how you feel in the middle of nature. The swimming pool is perfectly formed for the number of guests and the sunbeds that sit within the pool itself are a lovely touch. There are small jacuzzi style pools around the grounds too. Massages can be booked and both myself and my eldest had massages which were excellent.

The reviews dont lie. Sergeant House is a standout with its design, serene gardens, pool, staff and heavenly food. The seafood dinner was one of the best we ate in a country of top foodie experiences. Ms Chaturi, the manager, runs a tight ship, but with discretion and a sweet style. Our only disappointment was a few days sharing the space with a large family of seven, including a noisy 2 year old and two other young children who spread out across the compound. The space is not really suitable for such a large family group to share with smaller groups wanting to relax in a normally quiet setting. Otherwise top marks for this slice of paradise.

The staff at the hotel cannot do enough for you and the chef is excellent so make sure you have at least one evening meal here. The massages were also very good. We stayed in the cave which was bijou and compact but had 2 singles which we preferred, just go down the stairs backwards, it’s easier! We got Ubers to Galle and tuk tuks to turtle beach, all very do able & cheap. The manager is particularly helpful in getting you what and to where you need! Thank you for a very lovely stay!

Excellent accommodation and staff! Everything was perfect from food to the rooms, with a nice, intimate feeling away from the crowd. The position is good, with proximity to the popular beaches. The pool is very nice also, with a small private beach.

Sergeant House is fully deserving of its top rating. We stayed for six nights in February 2025. The management and staff are so professional and do their utmost to ensure a happy stay. The rooms with one caveat (see below) are superb, as is the swimming pool and the grounds. It is a peaceful oasis just off the busy road that tracks the coast. It is a small hotel which is something we like - the pool never gets crowded and the service is personal. Dinner in the hotel is excellent. It has to be ordered before 11am and the chef will prepare dishes not on the menu (we had delicious grilled fish on our last night). We also ate out at the nearby Kabala Sunset and Sun n Sea plus the Dumpling House in Galle. All were good. The lady providing massages onsite was brilliant and reasonably priced. I did the hotel's suggested bike tour around the local lagoon and coconut husk/rope making 'factory' which was hugely enjoyable and easy (despite the gear-less bike) thanks to the brilliant guide. Caveat: Think carefully before booking the Cave Room. It is small and the second single bed is up some steep stairs. We are in our seventies and it was not really suitable for us. Fortunately there were some empty rooms for some of the nights and the hotel manager made everything perfect so a very big thank you to her.
