Excellent breakfast, limited options. Included fresh fruit platter, fresh juice, tea and coffee with eggs prepared as per request. Very boutique property, tastefully done, spacious rooms, clean. The decor with lights really changes the mood in the restaurant and pool in the evening. Friendly owners and competent team, equally friendly pooches :)

We've been in Bentota a few times now, and this is our favorite location. Very clean, comfortable bed! No mold! A lot of places in Sri Lanka have mold, not here. Also, nice big shower head with good pressure without the heater switch. Free flowing hot water, this is rare. Nice to have a bottle of water when we arrive late and thirsty. It was sold out so we could only stay one night. The floor was so clean I felt comfortable barefoot, with no crumbs or sand like I felt other places. Lovely family, everyone was so kind. They helped carry my luggage. Always smiling and nice. Great breakfast, we really enjoyed it. Fresh juice without sugar added. GREAT Wifi, it's listed in the room, so you don't have to wait or ask for a pass code. LOVE that the AC is not right above our head, like in most places. Nice quiet fan if you don't want AC. Everything was well thought out. No mosquitoes in the room! This is a big deal! No ants. Easy to communicate with on whatsapp. Nice mini fridge. There are a lot of personal touches. If avaliable book.

This family-run compound, set off the main road and nestled in the forest, is an absolute delight. The staff, including all family members, are friendly, warm, and happy to help with whatever you need. The food is fantastic; it is all homecooked, and they will facilitate whatever you want. We are both vegetarian and the food that was provided was the best we had eaten in Sri Lanka. The nearby beach, accessible by free tuk-tuk ride, is simply the most magnificent, untrammelled beach I have ever seen. Spotless, golden sands, warm blue water and stunning scenery. The rooms are enormous with comfortable beds, clean (outdoor!) bathroom and a lovely porch. The entire resort was spotless. We spent 11 days in Sri Lanka in total, across a range of different style accommodations, 5* to 2* hotels and this was easily the best place we stayed.

Location is fantastic. On the main road (yet not noisy at night) so easy to find. Close to Bentota railway station, beach, shops, restaurants, and the main town. The room and bathroom was so incredibly clean. What makes this place even more special is the couple that live there and own the place. Honestly, the most genuine and lovely people I’ve come across throughout my Sri Lankan adventure. Food can be provided up request for a small fee and is absolutely delicious. I can’t recommend this place enough. I wish I had more time so I could stay here longer! You will not regret staying here! It’s genuinely home away from home!

This place is an absolute gem! I arrived here with no expectations and was stunned to find a beautiful, upmarket , immaculately clean villa, 5 minutes walk from the beach . The owner cannot do enough to make your stay memorable which included driving us to a spectacular fish restaurant in his tuk tuk. I had the best nights sleep I’ve had since being here in Sri Lanka in the most fabulous,most enormous four poster bed I’ve ever been in ! Value for money is simply outstanding!

I had a really nice stay at the cabin! Thush and his whole family were really friendly and helpful from the beginning to the end! As a female solo traveler, I felt very safe staying there. I also had dinner and breakfast which both was very delicious. Thush gave me a ride from the train station and even waited with me to get the right bus on my way back. I never had hosts that friendly, so I would definitely recommend to stay in the cabin or even book a longer tour with Thush on his motorbike to get a real experience off the beaten tracks 😊

    This property was a real oasis on the other side of the railway track. It was luxurious, had lovely decor, had a good pool, had great hosts and was excellent value. The breakfasts were fantastic and our host Nelson cooked us 2 delicious meals on our 2 nights there - the food was so good that we just didn’t want to eat anywhere else. Right up there with all the places we stayed in during our Sri Lankan holiday. A great find!

    Such a beautiful home right on the river. The family who runs this homestay are incredibly kind and went out of their way to make us comfortable. The daily breakfast was plentiful and delicious, consisting of omelettes, bread, fruit, fresh juice and tea or coffee. The balcony was a beautiful place to watch the sunset and the room included access to a little kitchen with a kettle so we could make our own pots of tea and coffee. It was the perfect place to rest and explore Bentota.

    We liked everything. Room was clean and tidy as shown in pics. Initially had booked this stay for one night but we extended our stay for one more night as we liked the home stay. We are pure vegiterian and it was very difficult for us to find veg restaurants in srilanka. And finally we got authentic and very tasty veg food in this stay. Owner is very cooperative. This was our bestest stay in our 8 days srilanka trip.
