The beach was a bit poluted. Mostly with tourist items. Possibly because of the windstream. There are a couple of big hotels around that don't care much about cleaning. Not dropping their waste at the right place.

Nice location almost on the beach. Small scale resthouse with relaxed atmosphere. Stayed in the familiy room, felt like a small home. Friendly and helpful staff. The sea was rough when we were there. Too dangerous to take a seabath. We liked the wild waves, force of nature.

The location was convenient, and the English breakfast was decent, but the local dishes were overly salty. Unfortunately, they wouldn’t allow us to swap to the English breakfast even though the food was unsatisfactory and insisted we pay extra. There was no WiFi in the room despite the listing on Booking.com claiming free WiFi. The owner was quite rude and unaccommodating, even saying, “If you don’t like it, you can leave,” yet still demanded full payment. The weathers was bad . So it was simply impossible to move to another hotel The bathroom had a sewage smell, and it was mentioned that the room had been unoccupied for quite some time. Without WiFi, we couldn’t reach out to our family, which was very inconvenient. Additionally, the towels provided were dirty, adding to the disappointment.

Nothing except for location

There were ants, mosquitoes and other flies all over the room. Red ants were on the bed and my husband and I caught allergies. The food is not good, doesn’t even have many option.

The fact that it is on the beachside is the only thing which kept us going.

1- The room was very small, the air conditioner was not working well, and the water in the bathroom was very low. It did not have a refrigerator despite the hot weather, and it did not have a television. When we complained, they were not able to solve the problems, so they gave us a family room. It was very wonderful, but it was for one day. The second day. They assigned us a family room as well, which was not reserved, but it was not like the first room and the internet was not working 2- There is no phone in all rooms.

1-The location is very close to the sea 2-The employees are wonderful and very helpful

The food was extremely poor, giving both of us episodes of severe vomiting, nausea, and diarrhoea on 4 separate occasions over 12 days. Thankfully, the portions were very small otherwise things could have been much worse. Very little Sri Lankan dishes on the menu. Mostly noodles and Italian dishes, ie. Carbonara, bolognese . We sent 2 very expensive lobsters back to the chef as they were grossly overcooked and inedible. So much so, we couldn't get them out of the shells with a fork. Eventually, one was returned to us chopped up with "cream" added and reheated. However, when I asked where mine was, we were told both lobsters had been cut up and mixed with "cream" and set inside one lobster shell! It was still awful and tasted more liked tough chicken than delicious lobster. Meanwhile, the rest of our food, rice, fries etc had gone cold and we ended up complaining and sending the whole meal back. The owner did give us 50% off the lobster, after an intense debate, but we still had a hefty bill for the rest of the inedible meal. The chef and owner could not see why we had a problem with the toughness, and the reheating of the sea food. There was an above average number of cockroaches in the room. Even found one on my pillow in the middle of the night. They could be heard scurrying behind the headboard in the evenings. The pool edge tiles were damaged and sharp. There was no steps into the pool with handrails. The drainage plates around the pool were either missing, or damaged and dangerously sharp. No complementary items as advertised except for 2 tea bags, 2 coffee sachets, 2 sugars and 2 coffee cream sachets every 2 days, and 1 mini bar of soap on arrival. I left the small shampoo and conditioner bottles out to be refilled, as requested, but they were put back in the shower empty. We left the property 8 days earlier than expected, even though we had paid until the end of our stay as it was booked on Booking.

Being on the beach was beautiful. Most staff were friendly and helpful. Given 2 small bottles of water every 2 days.

The hotel is remote to everything, there is absolutely nothing to do in the town. It is not located in Bentota as the search advises you - it is located far away from it, on a noisy highway near the rails. Balcony door makes an awful screeching sound when you try to open it. The room is extremely noisy, I couldn’t sleep even with ear plugs on. Moreover, there are 3 large dogs on the premises, 2 of whom are being kept in a small cage and bark all the time when you see them. My small kids were really afraid of the dogs, shaking each time they were barking. I don’t think that a hotel is a suitable place for such large dogs, especially when they are kept in such a small cage, poor things. The staff is totally unfriendly. My score would have been higher in case they did at least anything to make us feel welcome. However, they didn’t speak good English, mixed up our order during the breakfast as they couldn’t understand what we were saying, and failed to arrange us transportation (being unable to tell the price of the ride).

A very nice beach just outside restaurant. The pool is spacious. Enjoyed the food here - great dish selection and taste. The rooms are well ventilated. I am very grateful to the host for letting our family to stay longer after the checkout providing us with the changing room.

The bed sheets have holes and should be changed. Water compression in the shower is very low, so you can hardly take a shower. Also, the shower is broken. In the morning we got a glass where bottom is hardly damaged, so not sure how this could be served...seems owner is saving money on everything and not investing to keep his hotel in the best quality. P.S. it is very noisy, so make sure you have ear plugs.

The location is nice, owner and staff were friendly.

Ants all through the room, ac didn't work, WiFi didn't work, manager/owner yelled and belittled his staff in front of guests, he also yelled at sri lankan guests who I was having drinks with that was purchased off him. They packed up and left at midnight because he was so rude. He also stole my thongs. Never with I stay here again. Worst place in my months stay in SL Also ripped off with a massively high exchange rate No hot water

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Janus paradise rest and I can confidently say it was an exceptional experience that exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality, setting the tone for a truly memorable vacation. The location of the resort is simply breathtaking. Nestled along the pristine coastline, Janus paradise offers unparalleled views of the azure waters and powdery white sands. Each morning, I woke up to the soothing sound of waves crashing against the shore and the gentle sea breeze sweeping through my room—it was a slice of paradise. The accommodations were nothing short of luxurious. My room was elegantly furnished, impeccably clean, and equipped with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. The plush bed and premium linens ensured a restful sleep, while the private balcony provided a peaceful spot to unwind and soak in the stunning vistas. In conclusion, my experience at Beach Haven Resort was nothing short of extraordinary. Regards Saikiran . kp India
