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!

    The host family are the nicest most helpful people you will ever meet. They will help you with anything they can including tuk tuks, tours, train apps etc. Breakfast is a feast everyday. The rooms and property generally are spotlessly clean. The bed is v comfortable and big. Great shower and bathroom area. Good a/c and wifi. Easy walk to the beach, restaurants, bank, supermarket and train station. We definitely recommend.

There is a well maintained pool for you to dip in. Customer Service was really good. Ms. Ruchira was such a lovely host.

    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.
