Featuring free WiFi throughout the property, Aayu's Guest offers accommodation in Bentota, 500 metres from Bentota Lake. Certain rooms include a seating area to relax in after a busy day.

Aayu was super friendly, providing us with all kinds of information we needed. The breakfast was fresh with a big selection of fruits, along with yoghurt, toasts, sausage and eggs and delicious homemade cake! Very close to the beach, clean facilities and a cute teddybear-like watchdog! Will always come back to this place when near Bentota!

Travelled around Sri Lanka for 25 years - this time with my son - stayed and ate at La Perla Bentota and was the best Sri Lankan curry (especially excellent ladies fingers) I have ever had. A truly excellent place with a first class owner Nelson - many thanks

Situated in Bentota, a few steps from Kosgoda Beach, Nil Menik Villa features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace.

A lovely accommodation with a good swimming pool, sun loungers and umbrellas. Meals on the upstairs balcony with plentiful food. Staff very attentive and helpful. The location was quiet and only 50m from the beach so we did lovely walks along the shore. Waves strong so best to swim 400m along the beach in front of the hotel there which has life guards.

    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!

    Great hospitality. Location is good, facing the water, in a quiet area close to the main street. Wonderful breakfast, with fruit, yogurt, eggs, bread, juice and coffee/ tea. We also had dinner there one of the nights - great fried noodles; best dinner in Sri Lanka. The host is very welcoming, and helps out with whatever you need, from water sport to excursions and renting a scooter.

    Best place to stay in Bentota! Silent area and 5 minute walk from the beach. Also a beer shop on the road at 2 minutes.The rooms are very nice and have quiet AC. I was very happy and extend my stay. The area is great for SURF,The local restaurant host recommended was great too! For the money I pay I am more than happy.

    Lovely room hosted by a lovely family. The room is spacious and comfotable with a quiet a/c. When I first arrived, the wifi wasn't working that well, I mentioned it to the host, and he called Digitel and fixed it in 5 minutes! Then there was a huge storm and the electricity went out, and they were in my room in no time turning on the fuses. No problem was too big for this family! I also loved my breakfasts here-- I have all kinds of food issues-- low carb, no gluten, and the dad happily created healthy and delicious breakfasts for me!

    I had a lovely new year celebrating in janus paradise rest. Janus was a great host, the location fab. I didn't venture away from the hotel for my 4 days. The rooms were comfortable, the prices fair, staff pleasant and food nice. I shared some good company and fab sunsets. Which was pretty much what I was looking for. The pool was pleasant in the Sri lankan heat. The ocean in Bentota is rough, not easy for casual swimming, but refreshing, and the beach clean and quiet. Thanks Janus

    What a wonderful place. We felt so welcome. The room was lovely and clean, and we had a quite large outdoor private area. The host is very friendly and serviceminded. She recommend the best restaurants and made good deals for us for tours and transport. The guesthouse is in a quiet area not far from the most wonderful beach you could imagine. You just have to go down the road, cross the railway at the station and go through the park....We highly recommend a stay and would gladly return of we came to the area again

    It was very friendly and quiet place near from beautiful beach with very kind host who makes a great beakfast (a lot of fresh fruits and every day different food). The room was small but sufficient. The hosts picked up at the airport and during our stay, when we needed, they drove us in the tuk tuk somewhere. There was family atmosphere, we felt there like at home. I definitelly recommend this accomodation.
