The hosts were wonderful, and they made our time in Sri Lanka unforgettable. Extremely kind, generous and hospitable. Hopefully we will manage to come back. It's thanks to them that we managed to make the most of a relatively short time in Bentota.

After 13 (budget) accommodations in Sri Lanka, this was definitely the best value for our money. Large and very clean room, very kind hosts, nicely located between the beach and the main road and a well-working shower with hot water.

Almost everything! The whole family made our stay incredible, felt a bit like being around your own family. -Food is healthy and home cooked every single day, breakfast is amazing. There’s too much option to choose from. Baba, our day to day server, even jumped up to climb trees to get us some fresh coconuts. -Room is immaculate, you won’t find any dust and they clean everyday. It’s a nice feeling coming home from a day trip. We found almost no mosquitoes or insects at all. -Shower, it can be really hot shower above 8 o’clock in the morning, try to take your shower early. We enjoyed our outdoor shower, birds chirping and the river behind the property makes it really sound idyllic. -Location, it’s a bit in the middle of nowhere (which we enjoy), but you can easily access the road and the beach within 10 mins, and they provide tuk tuk (or car) to transfer to the nearest beach which is handy. - Staff! Shout out to Roshana, Baba, and Ishuru to name a few! Amazing people and very good at they do. The family provides recommendations for trips all around the country. They literary took us everyone, which we found super convenient and well priced. Overall, we were super impressed by this little gem!

If you are looking for accommodation with nice vibes, friendly hosts and good food, look no further. Free House is perfect. My partner and I have been travelling for 8 months and this accommodation has been a highlight for us. I highly recommend getting the breakfast. It’s a generous Sri Lankan style breakfast and we enjoyed learning about how everything is cooked. There is also a small patisserie out the front serving a selection of baked goods that we enjoyed. The hosts are both very talented when it comes to making food. The room was perfect, wifi worked well, good air con and a comfortable bed. Book now!

Absolutely amazing place. The owners were so lovely and really attentive - they even gave us complimentary drinks and fruits from the garden and called us when there were monkeys and birds around. Was in a beautiful setting at one with nature but still just a short walk to shops and restaurants. The room, bathroom and balconies couldn’t have been nicer. Best place we’ve stayed at in Sri Lanka :)

Kavinda

From

The calm and quiet surrounding, clean and tidy bedroom and bathroom, convenience of location (close to the main road/not too far from the Bentota town), friendly host, and most of all Value for Money! We were attending a wedding at a nearby hotel and the host kindly let us back into the room even after checking out earlier in the day so that we could freshen up before our long journey back home.

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.
