Big rm, simple furnishing. 2 or 3 stars standard but u pay for this standard anyway. Highlight was the boat safari wh Lucky personally took us n his determination to show us crocodiles + birds+ bats etc.. He tried his best. We had 4 croc sightings. Adv of staying in Guest hses is the personal attention n relationship with the owner n his family. Add colors to our travel

Bargain stay in Bentota

Beautiful location and really quite stylish rooms. Pool is small, but adequate. Staff are warm and helpful. Restaurant on site, but various places to eat within a short three wheeler ride. Breakfast was good so would assume food (though a little more expensive than bars/restaurants) is of a good quality. The views of lagoon are really outstanding.

One of the best places I have been to!

I felt welcomed from the second I arrived to the hotel. The staff was so friendly and gave me absolutely perfect service! My room was spaceful and fresh, the AC was good and the bed was comfortable. The pool and the surrondings at the hotel was absolutley amazing, the Bentota river was just next to the hotel and it was a very beautiful and relaxing area. I ate both breakfast and dinner there and it was very good food! The staff also helped me to organize a boat tour (recommend!) and took me to a turtle rescue center (so nice experience). I am 100% satisfied and wished I could have stayed longer. I hope to come back very soon!

Wunderbarer Platz zum Erholen

Etwas abseits direkt an der Lagune gelegen mit Pool und Liegen gleich am Wasser. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Beeindruckend für uns war der Besuch in den zwei Tempeln in der Umgebung, zu denen uns ein Mitarbeiter führte. Nach 10 Tagen Rundreise war dies genau der richtige Ort, um uns zu erholen.

Mon coup de coeur au Sri Lanka

Établissement exceptionnel, mon coup de coeur au Sri Lanka.Très belle chambre avec terrasse, jolie piscine avec vue sur le lagoon, calme,idéal pour se reposer. Le personnel est professionnel. Rien à redire on se sent comme à la maison. Le seul défaut est que l'on voudrait garder cet endroit paradisiaque pour nous.
