Offering a restaurant and free bikes, Happy Man Guest house is located in Bentota. Free WiFi access is available. It provides a 24-hour front desk for the convenience of the guests.

Our stay at Happy Man Village was one of the best hotels we have ever stayed at in Sri Lanka. The dinner, breakfast, hospitality and environment were fantastic. The garden of the hotel is well-maintained and particularly beautiful at night. Furthermore, the rooms are really clean and the outside shower is a big plus! We truly recommend this hotel!

A 2-minute walk from Bentota Beach in Bentota, La Perla Bentota offers accommodations with access to spa facilities, wellness packages, and beauty services.

La Perla Bentota provided an excellent stay. The surroundings are beautiful, and the pool is perfect for relaxing. The location is also very close to the beach, which is a great plus. The room was clean and tastefully decorated. The staff, especially Nelson and the entire team, were friendly and incredibly helpful. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend La Perla Bentota.

Surrounded by greenery, Shangri-lanka Villa is just a 10-minute walk from Bentota Beach. It features an outdoor swimming pool, an Ayurveduc massage center and rooms with free WiFi access.

The property and the garden are beautiful, the room amazingly big, clean and comfortable, the swimming pool lovely, the dogs adorable and the staff very nice. The location was very convenient, quietly nested in a peaceful lane, less than 20min walk from a wonderful beach. The owner is also a lovely man. It was such a great find! I would come back without any hesitation.

Located along Galle Road, Rockery Villa Ayurveda features a beautifully-landscaped garden, an outdoor pool and a 24-hour front desk.

Let’s start with acknowledging the fact Sri Lankan’s climate is challenging for property owners. Combination of enormous humidity and high temperatures creates perfect conditions for mold growth and rust. Our hotel did great here with rooms and toilets being clean, sheets being fresh and pleasant to the touch, large comfortable beds and nice swimming pool. Everything according to the description from the booking.com We took some ayurveda treatments and these proved to be remarkable. The doctor not only served great massage, but also provided recommendations and some magic potion which hopefully cuts some age :-) Skipping ayurveda part would have been a huge mistake! Then food. Breakfasts were the best we had in Sri Lanka. Fresh fruits, omelettes, sousages - all served at the large, pleasant veranda with garden view. We also had dinner and that exceeded our expectations. Definitely best springrols on the island. Juicy, fresh red snapper, not to forget various types of rice and curry. In Bentota one gets excellent clean beaches. it is 500m from the hotel, really easy walk. if really lazy tuk-tuks are everywhere and would cost like nothing. And last but not least. The level of helpfulness of the staff was above the limit. Manager helped us with building our trip across the island, organized bus with the driver for our group and helped with finding and booking hotels on our trip. All the prices he got for us were better than the ones from the app! amazing experience! Having said that- great value for money, perfect to start your Sri Lankan’s adventure.

    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.

    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.
