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!

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!

    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.

    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.
