best accommodation in Sri Lanka so far! absolutely gorgeous garden with clean and fresh pool, rooms were nice, built in European style, so it has a separate shower, which comes in hand. But the owners and staff were absolutely the best. they were really nice and kind the whole stay, we had a lot of fun together. Mrs. Alexandra was lovely, kind and helpful all the time. Mr. Nelson is the best cook in Sri Lanka, we really enjoyed his cuisine. There is no chance finding better accommodation. also the beach is calm and without people.

Our hosts were very caring, offering us tea or coffee in the evening. If you needed a tuk tuk to take you a kilometre or two from the villa, it was free service. The breakfast was a wonderful variety and scrumptious. The room was immaculately clean and had air-con.The short cut to the beach, down an alley and across the railway lines, had us there in 5 minutes. If you get the opportunity, drop in to Tuna Turner, where you can use their pool and sunbeds if you spend 5000slr. They even supply pool towels.

A beautiful property in quiet surroundings, serving delicious food with warmth. We loved our spacious rooms, comfortable beds and roofless showers. The vast beach is a 10 min walk away, and the train station, 5 min. Will definitely return again and stay longer!

Location is fantastic. On the main road (yet not noisy at night) so easy to find. Close to Bentota railway station, beach, shops, restaurants, and the main town. The room and bathroom was so incredibly clean. What makes this place even more special is the couple that live there and own the place. Honestly, the most genuine and lovely people I’ve come across throughout my Sri Lankan adventure. Food can be provided up request for a small fee and is absolutely delicious. I can’t recommend this place enough. I wish I had more time so I could stay here longer! You will not regret staying here! It’s genuinely home away from home!

This place is an absolute gem! I arrived here with no expectations and was stunned to find a beautiful, upmarket , immaculately clean villa, 5 minutes walk from the beach . The owner cannot do enough to make your stay memorable which included driving us to a spectacular fish restaurant in his tuk tuk. I had the best nights sleep I’ve had since being here in Sri Lanka in the most fabulous,most enormous four poster bed I’ve ever been in ! Value for money is simply outstanding!

Wow!! This is by far my favourite place I stayed at in Sri Lanka! Everything about it is just perfect! The quiet location, the kindest hosts, the best dinner and breakfast and the super cute Cabins that are built with so much detail! I’m so sad that we only got to stay there for one night and definitely hope to be back one day! The price for staying there is so cheap I was sceptical at first and thought there must be a downside but there is not. My expectations were exceeded! It’s the perfect place for people that want to spend time on a quiet environment and in nature. The Cabin was super comfortable and everything was clean. Also, the hosts and the people in the neighbourhood were all so friendly and kind.

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!

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.
