Beruwala hoteles

Ventajas: beautiful garden, relaxing luxury

Desventajas: Nothing!

Ventajas: Brilliant service - spaciousrooms great food and Karen and her team went out of their way to make stay memorable.

Desventajas: There was an incident that really shocked us! We arranged a driver from another hotel to pick us from shangri lanka to his stay. The owner of shangri lanka threatened the driver to hit him and damage his car, if he would pick us up from shangri lanka! As customers we cannot accept such unprofessional behaviour, thats why we wouldn't recommend this place.

Ventajas: In a scenic, quiet location Spacious rooms Lovely pool Helpful staff organising fair priced tuk tuks Information pack in the room Reasonably priced Ayurvedic treatments

Desventajas: I like a sheet/duvet a little thicker on the bed. It’s very thin and though the AC is needed (otherwise it’s too hot), I woke up too cold a couple of times. Perhaps an extra blanket or thin duvet could be put in the room for those who need it. As we wake up around 6am, we weren’t able to have tea or coffee until after 7 when the staff arrive. It would be nice to have a kettle in the room.

Ventajas: The suite was huge and luxurious. The room had numerous art pieces that makes it unique. The bed and the sheets were extremely comfortable. The bathroom had a large bath. There is a lovely pool in the gardens with sunlounges and unmbrellas. The chef serves excellent food. Prem was there to assist with meals and anything else you require. Thank you. Hope to return one day.

Desventajas: Nothing. Everything perfect.

Ventajas: The property and standard of the accommodTion was excellent. The food was delicious, tasty and home cooked I couldn’t have asked for any better.

Desventajas: The fact that I didn’t book to stay longer.

Ventajas: We loved the pool & the doggies. The room was fabulous, spotlessly clean & comfortable. Karen & staff were perfect hosts - kind & honest. Thank you!

Desventajas: Nothing. Can't think of anything negative at all!

Ventajas: Everything - stunning location with gorgeously laid out gardens teaming with wildlife, superb attention to detail in rooms which are spacious and airy. Fabulous service, nice food , scrupulously clean, lovely doggies one of which was very vocal. We will be back next year for sure.

Desventajas: Nothing except don’t expect to ever have this property to yourself as the exceptional standard I am sure will mean it will be full 365 days of the year!

Ventajas: Breakfast, lunch and dinner were superbly cooked and presented. The Villa was large with a super bathroom. The pool is lovely and kept very clean. The area around is very safe and staff will organise whatever transport you require. From the moment we arrived the staff were all very respectful but also very helpful.

Desventajas: The sunbed area around the pool could do with improving, grass around the sunbeds very sparce in areas and looks unappealing. Also the pool towels could do with upgrading, very clean but some seem sun lotion stained.

Ventajas: My partner and I stayed here for 4 nights after having visited Kandy and the South Coast in the previous 10 days. We liked the room which was very spacious and the large garden and pool of the villa. The room furniture and decor were estethically pleasing. Wifi is great in the room.

Desventajas: we have found some areas in this place that need improvement and for that reason we are not going to give our highest rating: 1. the staff personality and friendliness scores low here. This place lacks a good welcoming host. The staff are just doing their job and they don’t seem to be that friendly or that happy to have you as a guest. Hard to see a smile from them and after having spent time in this country and having experienced the friendliness and kindness of other lower class hotels staff we stayed in Sri Lanka, this villa is definitely lacking that. 2. The most senior member of the staff was very pushy with wanting us to use their own tuk tuk driver all times rather than the locals. He would also speak badly of the local tuk tuk drivers and when we told him that we already had organised tuk tuk pick ups with somebody else he was clearly not impressed. They want to make sure you spend the money with them. When we also asked him to give us a quote for car transport and after we had his price and told him we had a better price from a local, he quickly said that the local driver mustn’t have any insurance. Again this was his arrogant and disingenuous assumption to try and stir us away from using other people services. 3. The food prices are average here. However their light breakfast which they charge you for (almost 5GBP) consists of a small plate of fruit, toast and jam and nescafe’ coffee. We had much more luxurious breakfast in other lower level accommodation in Sri Lanka which even included omelette, real filter coffee and a very generous plate of fruit, and that kind of breakfast came for free as part of the room price. It would have been a nice touch if they included the light breakfast in the room price as for what it is, I’m sure it wouldn’t be a loss for them. 4. One of the “clean” towels had large stain of bloods which looked very much from a woman’s period. When we asked the staff to change it, they played it all down without apologies

Ventajas: As a very special bawa property,, in a perfect location .I was annoyed by very badly behaved , undisciplined children ruining our stay,, smashing plates and screaming in dining area,, taking over the pool area,, not hotels fault,, the staff were overly accommodating ,, we had to request another place to dine,, it’s a temple to design,, inappropriate for children

Desventajas: Shower drains had not been cleaned,, and the re was mould Had to wear rubber shoes in the shower,, mr baca would have been upset Not a hotel for children The pool is very warm

Ventajas: great breakfasts,, its a bawa building, so that means it feels good to be there, going to the beach at sunset is a great thing to do. dont buy cigarettes...

Desventajas: too expensive

Ventajas: We couldn't ask for more. The place is fantastic with great facilities, beach 1 minute walking, pool, great food and more. The installations are clean and pristine, decorated with very good taste. The staff was awesome, very friendly, professional and efficient and that is a priceless asset. The way that ALL the staff performed their duties exceed anything I we were expecting. For example, we planned to go to the World Heritage Sigiriya and was necessary to leave the facilities at 04:00am in order to get there around 09:00 but that meant to miss the breakfast on that day. As soon as our plans were known, Mishara, a staff member, organized the preparation of two breakfast packs to be ready for us in the morning to take on the journey. Pro-activity and a job well done at its best. A word of appreciation for a great job as well for Chaminda at the reception and to Numesh and Sanjeewa and for all the great people with no exception working there. A big thanks very much.

Desventajas: To leave.

Ventajas: A delightful boutique property, beautifully appointed. It was wonderful to be so close to such a magnificent stretch of beach and still have the option of 2 lovely swimming pools. The grounds are plush, large and relaxing. (The train line that runs behind the property was really quite a thrill - waving to the passengers as they trundled past.) The staff were most accommodating and the dining options were superb. Very happy to recommend this property.

Desventajas: It was a terrible shame that so many people had decided to cancel their bookings because of the recent unrest. We spent 3 weeks in Sri Lanka and at no time did we feel threatened or unsafe. Please consider travelling to Sri Lanka.

Ventajas: Room was very comfortable; our one year old who loved the gardens and the wide clean beach. Food was delicious and they made baby friendly food as well. Sanjeewa the bartender and Daham at reception were very welcoming and helpful.

Desventajas: The hand held shower was tricky to use. Some of the restaurant staff were not very friendly.

Ventajas: Everything This place is just fabulous A little paradise and pure bliss

Desventajas: I can’t think of anything

Ventajas: The property is really beautiful with lots of different seating areas and the Paradise Road interior design style throughout. I loved the main pool!. A HUGE shout out to the staff at the resort. I stayed 5 nights and the staff went out of their way to make sure that I was comfortable, happy and looked after throughout my stay. Security, gardeners, housekeeping, reception and restaurant staff were all very friendly and really attentive.

Desventajas: I have no complaints! I will definitely go back again.

Ventajas: Everything was great. The staff very friendly and always smiling ! Highly recommend the stay !

Ventajas: It’s a great hideaway in Bentota. Good clean rooms. The staff is also very helpfull.

Ventajas: Absolute must, upon entering, you get an explanation of the influence of Geoffrey Bawa, the architect who also determines was at our previous hotel Marissa Hills. Spacious layout and a lot of art makes you feel in a museum rather than a hotel. Room, restaurant and swimming pools. The whole outdoor happen to the last detail with the beautiful white beach to cap it. A must if you are in this area.

Desventajas: Nothing not to like

Ventajas: Las instalaciones y la comida en general!

Ventajas: La habitación con vistas al jardín impecable, y el personal estaba pendiente de nosotros en todo momento desde la piscina hasta el bar o restaurante con detalles muy cuidados.

Desventajas: El cartel indicativo del hotel no se ve fácilmente desde la carretera principal.

Ventajas: Rooms are very clean, beds are comfy, the staff is super friendly. Great sea view from each room and easy access to the beach. Basically you don't have to worry about much if you're going to this place. You can perfectly relax. This place is well managed.

Desventajas: Food is okay, but they need to increase the size of the portions.

Ventajas: Lovely place, clean. Good small garden with pool. Sea was rough during our visit, so had to be really careful and couldn't swim properly. The beach in front of the property as well as the garden was really well cleaned by the staff and it was good to enjoy walk & sun. Relaxing place. We had dinners in the hotel and seafood platter was really tasty. (Only other hotel restaurants nearby.) Hotel can help to book a minivan back to the airport. The Driver and car, which we got, were the best (new clean car, seat belts for everyone, Driver had a safe way of driving) that we had during our visit in Sri Lanka.

Desventajas: Due to the shortage of fresh water the pool water had to be taken from the well and chemicals were added to it to keep it clean. Pool was greenish and couldn't use all times due to cleaning process.

Ventajas: I very highly recommend this place. Absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. The place is even better than seen in the pictures. The staff are very kind, prompt and always smiling. The rooms are spick and span, and are cleaned daily when requested. The breakfast included with the price is delicious. The chef is worth high praise. Close to Induruwa Railway Station and 5 minutes away from Bentota Railway Station. Pool and entire property is cleaned daily, and the beach is literally a hop away. Will definitely visit again. Cannot praise this place enough!

Desventajas: That I couldn't spend more time at this beautiful place.

Ventajas: Location is good and staff is courtious, rooms were very comfortable and we liked our overall stay.

Desventajas: No intercom in the room had to go to reception for every small thing. Some more things for entertainment can be added. However we liked it over all

Desventajas: There was a dog, It didn't bother us in any way, however we are little allergic to dogs

Ventajas: Firstly, the place is still in excellent condition, being newly built in 2010 is been very well looked after. Its clean, rooms are well looked after. Second, the food in the restaurant is superb. The ice is safe in drinks!! All taxes and services charges are included in the menu pricing so you don't get stung on the bill. Value isn't bad either but fish items on the menu get expensive. You can eat a good meal for about £4, 1000Rs. Third, the atmosphere of the place, its calm and peaceful - apart from when exceptionally noisy children are staying. Sea temperature is 30degC people!!

Desventajas: Very little not to like. Perhaps the only three things one could say are, the way breakfast works in the morning - you order for a menu so everything takes a long time, but then you get to enjoy the meal and take your time. It can take an hour for breakfast when it could take 10mins if it were buffet style. 2nd point - the steepness of the beach - you don't get gentle waves. You can bodyboard all day long. 3rd point - the location is pretty isolated from any other towns, but that makes its very quiet.

Ventajas: It was a great and unforgettable stay. Many thanks to all personal, you made our stay unique and very comfortable. The hotel is very beautiful and cozy, the food in the restaurant is very tasty, prices are good. Rooms are clean and big. It is a really nice and peaceful place, close to several Ayurvedic resorts. And we will never forget lots of surprises that happened here. We felt like home. Can’t wait to come back. We wish you good luck and prosperity!

Ventajas: The staff were excellent, the food and restaurant was excellent and the fact that everything about the hotel layout was really wonderful. We loved our stay here. Highly recommend Sea Rock Villa.

Desventajas: Some of the floors were a little slippery for little children so we were alert to this around the pool and in the rooms.

Ventajas: Very nice safety stay, spacy rooms are in perfect condition also with good A\C,right on a beach across beautifull garden and everything clean, swimming pool is not so big but enought for relaxig during hot days, staff is so friendly and working all the time - cleaning garden,pool, beach and so on...they arrange airport pickup (takes 2h+). Sandy beach is nice for walk where you can find many restaurants, outstanding sunsets here... even it is next the frequently street, there is no noise and you will hear only waves:) mostly recommendet this stay absolutelly high level on SriLanka!

Ventajas: La playa no esta mal.

Desventajas: El personal me pregunto 7 veces que a qué hora me iba al día siguiente porque tenían otra reserva. Eso nada más llegar me pareció de mal gusto. El baño bastante mal.

Ventajas: Property is next to beach

Desventajas: Breakfast is limited

Ventajas: La localización, justo en primera línea de playa. El restaurante y piscina, muy cuidados. Por la hora en la que llegamos, almorzamos en el restaurante, y había bastante variedad, muy bueno todo y a buen precio. Además en el desayuno ofrecen distintos tipos a elegir.

Desventajas: El agua de los grifos salía amarilla

Ventajas: The warm welcome the family gave me, was unbelieveble! So kind!!! Quietness and calmness!

Ventajas: It was a good breakfast. Nearby beach was excellent.

Ventajas: Felt like home. Great place to stay with amazing helpful hosts.

Ventajas: Breakfast was very good and it was nice to taste local breakfast. And there was possible to decide what time the breakfast was served. Owners took very good care and suggested and arranged things to do like boat trip by the river, visit in turtle farm and tour in Bentota. There is beautiful and peaceful beach nearby. Apartment (Villa) was clean and there was a air conditioning, which was very refreshing after long journey. Owners took very good care of us and we are grateful for that. Highly recommended place to stay!

Ventajas: Breakfast was very authentic and tasty. They accommodated my wife who is gluten intolerant by preparing special Sri Lankan food made of rice flower. For new years day they prepared the traditional rice and coconut milk cakes for us. Room was very spacious and clean. Very nice front terrace to sit and relax on. A real treat to see and feed the monkeys which roam in the trees on the property. A very nice family operates the villa. It was special to speak to the son who is 20 years old and speaks very good English. He explained the history of the villa and how it was built by his grandfather. Easy 5 min walk to the beach. Nice swimming. It was convenient to have some plates and cutlery so we could buy some fresh fruit to eat. We reserved a tuk tuk to take us to the train station but when it didn't show up they offered to drive us in their vehicle which was nice.

Desventajas: They told us about the various tours in the area which we were not interested in ...maybe a little too pushy on this point. Our bill for two nights came to 57 USD or 10500 rupees as per the booking.com reservation and current exchange rate of 182 rupees. They brought us the receipt and it showed 11000 rupees. This equated to a rate of 192 rupees = 1 USD. The rate was never higher than 182 rupees in the past month so they clearly attempted to overcharge us. When I corrected her she quickly agreed to 11000 rupees. I really hope they simply made a mistake and did not try to take advantage of us because they were such a sweet and friendly family and everything else about our stay was great.

Ventajas: Breakfast was very good and local. There was very beautiful garden and it was possible to see few monkeys there sometimes. Room was comfortable and clean. Owners took very good care and made sure that we had a great stay. I would go there again.

Ventajas: Very close to a very nice beach. Comfortable bed, nice staff

Desventajas: Was Saturday night, there was a party right behind the property, so I couldn’t sleep because of the loud music until 1:00 am! Was not nice at all

Ventajas: This is a very beautiful, quiet place with very friendly and hospitable hosts and cute animals such as monkeys, monitor lizards and various birds. The area is clean and full of flowers. The beach is 2 minutes walk from the villa.

Ventajas: Amazing villa running by family. Very friendly and supportive!! Great location! Great value!

Ventajas: Staff were very friendly and more than happy to help. Took a lot of pride in there amazing gardens. Really Nice restaurant on the beach 10 min walk way.

Ventajas: The architecture and swimming pool

Desventajas: The food was ok

Ventajas: Calm and quite , 3 minutes walk to beach ,

Desventajas: Some staff mainly room service guys a bit awkward in response , bath kit not refilled for 2 days . Beach side Some chair or recliners should have been placed by hotel as that’s USP .

Ventajas: The property is beautiful, both the building and the grounds. We had an enormous bed and a private courtyard area that opened onto the main garden/pool. Lovely mature trees and colourful flowers. The train line runs across the end of the garden and you walk over that straight onto the quiet beach. It was entertaining to watch the train chug along the single track as you lay by the pool. They aren't very frequent so are not disturbing. Staff very attentive. Pool towels carefully folded with flowers, and extras brought without being asked. A dish of nuts brought when it was noticed we were having a beer from the mini bar on our patio.

Desventajas: Location is fairly remote so not for long stays unless you just want to relax by the beach and pool.

Ventajas: Large suite, beautiful grounds, lovely pool, very near beach

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: Beautiful lodging. Good value. Excellent food. Quiet.

Desventajas: Although near beach, no beach chairs or umbrellaa

Ventajas: Breakfast was super complete and attending to all kind of preferences. Staff was always exceeding expectations they remember all what me and my daughter would like to eat and drink!

Desventajas: The ants in the bed and in the bathroom :)

Ventajas: The view from my balcony was phenomenal. My room was spacious and cozy.

Desventajas: I had an Ayurvedic body massage there but the therapist was sexually harassing me that he tried to go down on me.

Ventajas: Located in a quiet lane which has many other luxury villas. This had a very colonial feel , right from the moment we stepped in. We were welcomed with a glass of fresh papaya juice. Welcoming staff, especially Chaman who helped us find a good local taxi driver. All other staff people were very courteous & wanting to serve us well. And always with a smile on their faces. The room.... superb! Honestly, I didn’t expect it to turn out so good! It was huge!! With an added floor which had a kids bed. The bed was good & the chairs overlooking the garden were perfect for sipping ur Ceylon tea while doing nothing! The Sri Lankan food was very good; must try. You need to tell them a night before if u wish to have SL breakfast. The beach was just across the villa gardens. Only adventure was the railway line which u need to cross to reach to the beach. But the beach was good with not many people. I enjoyed my evening walks with my wife watching a lovely sunset. Lastly, A GREAT PLACE TO UNWIND AWAY FROM THE CITY CHAOS!!

Desventajas: I guess the bathroom needs to be updated a bit. Though kept very clean, just feels a little worn out! And the positioning of air con in the room. In the afternoon, It takes a long time to cool the room.

Ventajas: The staff was friendly. The breakfast spread was delicious. The room was clean

Desventajas: There was cockroaches in the bathroom

Ventajas: The location and facilities were so amazing that we booked in an extra night and cancelled our luxury hotel in Colombo. The food was excellent and Indika , the manager, was charming, attentive and has become our friend. We will most definitely stay here again. Everything was perfect

Ventajas: Lovely view from the room, wonderful balcony, friendly staff

Desventajas: The bathroom was a bit scruffy but everything worked

Ventajas: We like the lagoon and the boat trip . Also the man who took us in the boat is very nice . Also the bit cooler plc and pool is nice too...

Desventajas: 1) Location difficult to find as not clearly indicate any road signs .. 2) in the room number 1 toilet bide shower can’t hold it and it’s a mess. Also shower water pressure very low and difficult to bath . And one sync totally block. 3) main fan in the room was not working and we asked stand fan as we don’t like AC 24/7. 4.) AC also very noisy and disturb our sleep. 5.) missed coffee set in the room, 6). Bfast was not really exciting with comparing to other hotels which we stayed in similar room rates . Should improve and give more choices ..

Ventajas: The staff were very friendly and most helpful, nothing was too much trouble.

Desventajas: That our stay wasn’t for longer!

Ventajas: This is a beautiful hotel on the riverbank in Bentota. Quiet, relaxing, great view, and great pool for swimming. The staff is helpful, especially Indika who understood our wishes/needs and adviced us accordingly. The hotel offers to take you to Bentota Beach by boat, which is a fun experience too. The beach was nice with clean sand and not crowded. Highly recommend this place.

Desventajas: We would have liked more traditional food on the menu, too much continental options. A small drying rack in every room would be practical.

Ventajas: We stayed 3 nights at Waterside Bentota. It was lovely. Great helpful staff. Good food. Great service with the boat to take us to the beach / town. Lovely pool. Beautiful setting.

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: Staff are absolutely lovely. Pool immaculate. Food good. Rooms very spacious and overall a very relaxing place to stay.

Ventajas: The location was peaceful,very relaxing and above all different. Expert knowledge was available by all staff about the area,wildlife,trips,food,tuk,tuk prices ..all of which is very helpful. A special thanks to Indika he was amazing!

Desventajas: The rooms are old and tired and smell damp could really do with gutting and updating to match the beautiful outside area and pool in our opinion.

Ventajas: Peaceful location. Lovely views over the lake. Boat ride to the beach.

Ventajas: Wonderful, peaceful, natural riverside location, short ride away from beach & town. Large, clean room with patio by pool, overlooking waterside. Beautiful sunsets & watch the fruit bats fly over to the mango trees. Manager Amila very helpful organising transport & river safari ( recommended). Food was amazing & all staff extremely pleasant.

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: El personal hizo que la experiencia fuese increíble. Las instalaciones eran muy agradables y las comodidades excelentes. La piscina y la playa son preciosas.

Desventajas: Las habitaciones necesitan una mejora, ya que están un poco anticuadas

Ventajas: Beautiful location and best facilities

Desventajas: No comb and clock in the room

Ventajas: We got upgraded for our anniversary to the Suite....which were stunning. We were over the moon with that surprise. The balcony view of the Indian Ocean and beach was breath taking. The rooms were immaculate, literally perfect. I loved the location and the Sunset. The Spa area was awesome too, it made me want to just keep getting treatments there. They have loads of fun activities which I was happy with. It was such a great place to go and you don't need to leave the resort to have fun. Highly recommend the Taj Bentota.

Ventajas: The courteous staff. Clean rooms. The beauty that surrounds the property.

Desventajas: Felt the food and buffet over priced for the selection that was offered.

Ventajas: Amazing Service the staff were superb. Location is beautiful and they have an excellent Spa. Could not fault anything, food, location, staff.

Desventajas: Only comment would be the garden view rooms decor is better than the sea view rooms - which are being updated.

Ventajas: en esa zona, en os hoteles delante de la playa, en todos se oye el tren a las 5 de la mañana. Este hotel es el único de la zona delante de la playa que poseen algunas habitaciones insonorizadas. Ubicación excelente.

Ventajas: The food was amazing. Chef Neeraj was very kind and amazing human being who made our special day really memorable.

Desventajas: Maintenance. The bathroom has continuous running water and water leakage from windows when it rains.

Ventajas: Breakfast was really tasty with a large variety of cuisines to choose from. Location was really beautiful. I choose to stay here as I just wanted a relaxing weekend and I planned to stay within the hotel the whole time. I don't think theres a huge amount of things to do in Bentota, but if you want a pool, beach and some food its a great choice!

Desventajas: I booked the room only by mistake. I found the buffet food a bit expensive with the evening buffet totaling 4,000 LKR per person. I don't tend to eat too much in one sitting so I ate off the separate menu as it was a bit cheaper.

Ventajas: Staff food and overall stay is excellent, good value for money

Desventajas: Only one restaurant (food was excellent but for a long stay it could get boring) and rooms/bathrooms are old

Ventajas: Everything was perfect.

Ventajas: This wonderful

Desventajas: Nil

Ventajas: El personal muy amable.

Desventajas: Poca señalización en el interior del Hotel de dónde están las distintas instalaciones

Ventajas: The service was excellent. Special mention to chef Dalip who went out of his way to make us feel comfortable. Also big thanks to Front desk manager Akram who helped us change our reservation. Overall staff was very warm, accommodative and served with a smile.

Ventajas: Saman villas es un pedazito de paraíso, las villas con piscina infinita son perfectas. La ubicación del hotel ideal ya que está rodeado por unas playas kilométricas y desiertas. El spa es de película y los masajistas unos verdaderos profesionales. El nivel gastronómico es de estrella michelin con unos platos muy elaborados y exquisitos. Mencionar también la atención de uno de los empleados Rushan que hizo que nuestra estancia fuese perfecta e inolvidable.

Ventajas: Excellent location and well maintained.

Desventajas: Safety can can be a concern. Also not possible to make tea or coffee in villa

Ventajas: Pure paradise! Amazing food, staff and location. I hope to visit again one day!

Desventajas: Just one small improvement - some relaxing music at the sunset bar would be nice in the evenings to create more atmosphere.

Ventajas: I don't know where to start, this place is incredible! The views, the rooms, the pools, the sea, the staff, the food! All absolutely spot on. Special thank you to Rushan and the restaurant staff, spot on!

Desventajas: I had an emergency doctor call out which cost $90 with medication, in contrast a spa treatment can cost around $120-160 pp. Don't get me wrong the spa is amazing but the price seems a bit high.

Ventajas: Private swimming pool Sea view. Gorgeous bathroom. Greate room facilities.

Desventajas: Neighbors can see throught the bushes or from upstairs, but fortunately we wasn't having any neighbors.

Ventajas: Staff and food

Desventajas: Disappointing and Wasting of money.. I can’t believe its a 5 star resort..!! Its away from luxury, pictures are cheating and villa’s decor is below average. The internet was very slow, The electricity was disconnected 2-3 times everyday. Spa service was so so and not worth the price. The access to the beach is tight and risky with too many rocky steps. And no beach beds at all..!! Overall, this resort will cost you triple price of much better resorts in srilanka.

Ventajas: The staff were so helpful and friendly. The safety and security are great. The privacy of the pool was excellent. The room breakfast was lovely. They even gave us a complementary dessert and photo when we checked out.

Ventajas: Every think was good , but i rent a room with prive pool , and my privet pool was dirty and water was stop and not changing.

Desventajas: Every think was good , but i rent a room with prive pool , and my privet pool was dirty and water was stop and not changing

Ventajas: The bathrooms

Desventajas: Thought the food was a bit expensive

Ventajas: The location

Ventajas: Ambience, breakfast

Desventajas: Cruise / without cruise -- option was not known. Payment deduction through card/ cash was a mystery till last minute. The full day program was not communicated.

Ventajas: Excellent service by staff. Well behaved, well trained, and extremely courteous staff. Beautiful cruise. Cruise will simply take your breath away. Rooms are spacious for a houseboat and are clean. Rooms are 24*7 Air conditioned even when cruising. Stunning scenery. Overall value for money.

Desventajas: The bathtub was extremely small and it was leaking. No electric kettle for warm water or tea. The food options are limited and extremely overpriced.

Ventajas: El barco

Desventajas: Me hicieron pagar dos veces

Ventajas: Very nice boat trip and lovely night sleeping on the boat

Desventajas: Good Dinner but too expensive and Booking.com says it’s included in the price which afterwards we had to pay extra 25$ per person

Ventajas: The whole concept was amazing. Peacefull and quiet. Perfect for a romantic weekend getaway. I recommend booking both rooms of the boat so that you can have complete privacy. It should be good for fishing enthusiasts as well.

Desventajas: The junior staff was ok, they should learn not to interfere during dinner. A senior staff member was trying to hoodwink me into paying for a cruise that was already booked by the other couple. He told me that we would be confined to our room during the cruise if we didn't pay this extra charge, which was not acceptable as I rightly pointed out that we had paid to use not only the room but all other common areas for the duration of our stay. Needless to say, this interaction led to diminish the overall experience of the trip as I had to get into arguments in my leisure time.

Ventajas: amazing experience! great staff and food. Book with friends to get the whole boat!

Ventajas: Loved the hospitality the staff was really friendly and welcoming Different experience Loved every bit of it

Ventajas: The location, the confort, the boat are amazing. The staff is really nice.

Desventajas: The offer on Booking states that the diner is included, however, we had to add 45 USD to the announced price, upon request of the hotel.

Ventajas: Atención ubicación y comodidad

Desventajas: Todo bien

Ventajas: A truly magical experience. Words are not enough! The houseboat, the location, the food, the Captain and his crew truly fabulous. I travelled for 3 weeks in Sri Lanka, and this was the highlight. The captain helped with excursions and all my travel arrangements, providing transport whenever required. Morning and evening cruises were truly awesome, with nothing but the sound of nature (the houseboat has almost soundless engines). An experience I will never forget, and I will return! Do not miss a visit to Geoffrey Bawa's country estate "Lunuganga", and Bevis Bawa's "Brief Garden". Great empty beaches 10 minutes away by Tuk Tuk.

Desventajas: Nothing could have improved my stay, it was perfect!

Ventajas: Es un sitio de película, vale muchísimo la pena cogerlo con el paseo! La habitación es grande y perfectamente equipada con bañera incluso! La cena bien puedes elegir platos. Muchas gracias por todo!

Desventajas: Todo increíble

Ventajas: The location was super good. Rooms are also very beautiful and clean. It is one of the best place to stay for a day. Bit costly so when you tired and wanted to rest in your trip then this is the best and romantic stay in Srilanka

Desventajas: No reason

Ventajas: Warm welcome & friendly staff was commendable. Specially Yohan Orista Tharani & sanath Great atmosphere and so much food variety Surprise arrangement with my birthday celebration Overall loved & enjoyed the stay

Desventajas: Nothing as in didn’t like to be honest

Ventajas: The buffet breakfast was good, with plenty of selection, great access directly to the beach and ocean and very close to town if you want to try different places to eat.. Staff were excellent and the hotel manager made an effort to speak with all guests personally.

Desventajas: All good.

Ventajas: The staff is excellent and everyone was very nice. The Location was excellent with good amount of food options. More than the buffet enjoyed the 24 hr cafe ( but purely due to the personal preference of a really good nasi goreng served there). The main restaurants buffet was also pretty good with variety. A few of the people who stood out, Lahiru at the pool bar did a great job with recommending good drinks and giving a great service Orista from the Reception who was very nice to us from the time we checked in and, till we left the premises. talking to us and waving us good bye . All the pool staff, specially the two people who handles the water activities. The Server at the 24hr Cafe Great Job!

Desventajas: Really dont have much to say that I didn't like. There was one issue I quickly came across when I came to the room but, it was attended to very promptly by house keeping and fixed. So in a nutshell no Cons!

Ventajas: The hospitality and the location.

Desventajas: There was nothing which I could say as I didn't like.

Ventajas: Staff very accommodating and friendly

Desventajas: Showing it’s age

Ventajas: El hotel está bien, pero deberían poner los precios con los impuestos ya incluidos, tanto en el hotel con el restaurante, porque luego te llevas la sorpresa de que es un 30% más.

Desventajas: El horario de desayuno termina muy pronto, a las 10:00, se agradecería un poco más de tiempo. También es problemático que por la mañana encienden automáticamente las luces y el aire acondicionado, hasta dos veces la misma mañana me lo han hecho, con lo que me han despertado y no sé a qué viene eso ¿para echarte?

Ventajas: Hotel con servicios de primera: una piscina de ensueño y actividades para que disfrutes en todo momento. ¡Muy recomendable la clase de yoga! Hotel with first class services: a dream pool and activities for you to enjoy at all times. Highly recommended yoga class!

Ventajas: Large resort with good facilities

Desventajas: Little dated but everything in clean and good working order

Desventajas: nothing

Ventajas: Friendly staff and excellent service. Among many others, highly appreciated Mr. Yohan's superior service.

Ventajas: Al lado de la playa y personal encantador

Desventajas: Falta comida mas occidental en el buffet

Ventajas: Todo el hotel es muy bueno. La comida fantástica y muy variada, las habitaciones muy cómodas y limpias.

Desventajas: En la zona de nuestra habitación la connexión wifi no funcionaba demasiado bién

Desventajas: Service was poor and the room that was offered to us not up to the standards of Cinnamon that we have experienced in the past. Hotel management requested us to pay extra for a better room and we did so. But the service remained still the same . We had to wait more than half an hour for 2 cups of tea after breakfast. One of the employees said if we want a better service not to visit on weekends. overall very disappointed

Ventajas: Swimming pool is good

Desventajas: All good

Desventajas: Meals & service

Ventajas: Comfy bed . Room facilities good needs refurbishing.

Desventajas: Too crowded to use buffetplus etc. Room order dinner 'mortha' not tasty at all. May be neglected due to work load at the kitchen.

Ventajas: Cleanliness and friendliness was the key things I liked about the place

Desventajas: It was excellent so, no dislikes

Ventajas: Only the hotel looks good

Desventajas: The staff talking near the room need improvement

Ventajas: Clean Good breakfast & dinner Very friendly & cooperative stuff Good facilities

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: Perfect location. Great for staying with kids for any ages! Can rest more than few days! Beach is wonderful!

Desventajas: Due to heavy visitors traffic some parts of hotel and rooms have small untidy looking parts! Many visitors of the pool don't want to follow the rules about appropriate swimming suit! Looks ugly enough!

Ventajas: The location and the design was very good and beautiful

Desventajas: The customer service was bad and slow alao the internet was very bad and the exchange rate very low against the other places

Ventajas: Good hotel with good staff , clean rooms , What I saw in booking pictures different in reality better, I recommend everyone visit Bentota to stay in , strong security, the gave all family bracelets in check in and they remove it once we check out, they said for security issues and they will know their hotel guests,

Ventajas: El hotel en general es fantastico, el jardin junto a la playa, las piscinas, el Loft para tomar una copa, el restaurante buffet no tiene gran variedad pero los otros dos tienen una carta mas que suficiente para pasar unas buenas vacaciones.

Desventajas: hay que tener cuidado con los tuctucs de la puerta, te llevan a los sitios que ellos quieren que son bastante mas caros que la media y dejan mucho que desar, es preferible pedir transporte en recepción, bastante mas barato y profesional.

Ventajas: The hotel is in a good location set just back from the beautiful Bentota beach with its huge sweep of golden sand. It is low rise and comfortable, with a large pool. I may say that in the general facilities are quite good. In its earlier years this hotel must have been truly a 5* hotel. You can imagine its days of glory. Now 5* are overrated. It's no luxury here and the hotel needs a complete overhaul. The stuff is the only one who is 5*: very helpful and kind. Although we checked out at 12, they let us linger 3 hours more at the pool( our train to Colombo arrived at 3.40) and we were given towels and beach beds. It was very nice taking into consideration that on our arrival day we could not enjoy the pool entirely because of some kind of "event". Also we were welcomed with cold drinks. The breakfast was very good too but I only ate fresh, on the spot made food: delicious egg hoppers ( you should try it), omelette and gaufre. I'll give that to this hotel. WIFI is very good and the bed very comfortable.

Desventajas: We had a basic room booked last minute but still even a basic room in a 5* should be impeccable. Our room reflected a lack of maintenance. The room was clean but the bathroom not so much. No complimentary water in the room. I don't want freebies but our minibar was empty too and I was thirsty. Also we arrived during the weekend and an 'event' was held outside the hotel witch lasted almost all afternoon and was incredibly loud. I was told by reception that during weekend many locals come to enjoy here. I do not have a problem if they behave properly. But they took up the entire pool, bumping and tossing so I could swim only after they left. Some people entered the water with their travelling clothes on although you should shower before entering the pool or if your religion says otherwise at least to slip into new cleaned clothes before entering the pool.

Ventajas: Stayed with my wife, the hotel was fantastic and i would like to thank to the management ( Mr. David ) for the room arrangements with all VIP amenities in the room.

Ventajas: Super front staff.

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: Excellent rooms, room service and very nice staff. Breakfast was good too. Love the property !

Desventajas: The pool area could have been arranged better for relaxing outside. Could have more facilities for play. Better tea and coffee needed.

Ventajas: Big and clean room

Desventajas: The AC is not working good The shower has no hot water I called more than four times to order some food and no one answered so we had to go outside for dinner

Ventajas: The staff deserves 110%. They were amazing, friendly and helpful. My husband list his wallet a staff member handed it in with all the cash in tact. How amazing is that! I can honestly recommend Avani to everyone. It was brilliant and safe! Try it you will love it. Elsie & Jim Carolin

Desventajas: The staff, management and facilities.

Desventajas: The classification as 5 star hotel is far too generous

Ventajas: Location

Desventajas: Slow service

Ventajas: The location right on the beach, the large green garden with 2 pools and a delicious breakfast (the hoppers were highly appreciated!).

Desventajas: The bed was in used condition, the mattress not to the standard we can expect in such hotel. The room, not far from the reception was quite noisy.

Ventajas: Todo nos ha encantado. Es un hotel 10, excelente para descansar y disfrutar de días soleados en la piscina y en la playa, a 50 metros de la habitación. ¡¡PERFECTO!!

Desventajas: Nada.

Ventajas: Everything was good..

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: Calm area as it is a bit inlands. Nice room with comfortable beds + net and fan. Very friendly and helpfull host. Breakfast was really good. As I stayed only 1 night, I didn't had dinner here, but it looked really good as other person was having one!! Would definitely recommend to stay here! :-)

Desventajas: Location of the place on booking isn't accurate!! Had to drive around with tuktuk for 10-15min before finding the place! :-(

Ventajas: La tranquilidad del lugar. El servicio de comidas. La amabilidad y buena predisposición de la dueña para ayudarme en todo lo que necesité.

Ventajas: Grace is a very nice host. She does everything within her opportunities to satisfy here guests.

Desventajas: .

Ventajas: Great hosts, Grace is such a nice person. We had amazing and huge breakfast everyday with different options (we are vegan). The rooms are ok for what you are paying for, they all have a small private kitchen.

Desventajas: Everything was good, a nice walk from the beach and main areas, but always tuk tuk available or scooter/bike rental

Ventajas: The villa where you will be staying is surrounded by the beauty of Sri Lankan nature. The dorm is pretty spacious and there is a nice garden with a sharing area. The lady who runs this place is friendly and helpful. Thank you!

Ventajas: First thing is that the property is at the prime location, bentota beach is just 15 min away from the property and the place is good n maintained really well. Breakfast and the dinner served is really good and reasonable too. And the wife really works well as I could not even notice buffering while browsing n is at good speed. And u hv companion to play well with n his name is browny... I would highly recommend this place...

Desventajas: There is nothing to mention here

Ventajas: The owner, she nice and want to help you Breakfast was good and the dinner cheap and good You can rent a bike Good place to stay with a small budget

Ventajas: Grace the host was very helpful & accomodating. The room is basic but was clean and has everything you need, including a fridge which was a great addition. We had a local cuisine and a Western breakfast there— both were tasty and ready at the time we requested. There is a nice garden/ patio area to spend time in and the neighborhood is quiet and beautiful to walk through.

Desventajas: A little removed from the beaches and other sights to see... but still walkable within ~20-30min or an easy tuk-tuk ride. The buses also come frequently along the main road. Note: this is a guesthouse where a family, including a child, also lives, so there is some extra noise. It didn’t bother us- we know to expect that when you’re booking a Homestay & enjoyed getting to know the family- but if you’re not wanting that, perhaps better to look somewhere else!

Ventajas: Breakfast was amazing, the host is ready to cook good food for you. Quiet location.

Ventajas: Terraza muy agradable! La dueña atenta en todo momento por si necesitaba algo. Camas cómodas y con mosquitera.

Desventajas: La conexión WiFi no funcionaba demasiado bien.

Ventajas: The owner was nice and helpful. I liked the quietness of the place, the area was peaceful. It was nice to be able to rent a bike to go to the city and the beach. The breakfast was good, one of the best omelette I had in Srilanka.

Desventajas: It could be great to add a few things to improve the bathroom and the kitchen area.

Ventajas: Nothing much!

Desventajas: Very low end, low quality hotel. Small room. Red ants in the room.

Ventajas: La ubicacion es inmejorable. La piscina es grande y muy bonita, al lado de la playa.

Desventajas: En algunas habitaciones, al lado del cafe , se oye la musica de los conciertos por la noche. Con ninos recomendaria las habitaciones que dan al lago

Ventajas: El buffet estaba muy bien, muy completo y todo muy rico. La habitación era grande, limpia, y la zona de piscinas y hamacas es enorme y también bastante cuidada. Está un poco en la línea de los hoteles orientados al turismo de "lujo".

Desventajas: El trato es mucho más impersonal a diferencia de otras villas y hoteles más humildes en el que te sientes como si fueras parte de la familia. Nos decepcionó un poco, porque en realidad las instalaciones son bastante clásicas y antiguas (no es un hotel moderno y de diseño), le haría falta una reforma que lo actualice un poco. La cama era muy dura (aunque gigante) y en general, buena limpieza. En el bar de la piscina había un olor bastante fuerte (típico de los chiringuitos así), y no nos encantó especialmente el servicio (aunque eran correctos y agradables). Pagas las 5 estrellas, las grandes dimensiones del hotel y los pequeños detalles de "lujo" al más puro estilo occidental (nevera, servicio de habitaciones, la lancha que te traslada de un lado al otro de la recepción, y la formalidad del personal en el trato). A nosotros nos parece que este tipo de hoteles, además de estar sobrevalorados (es carísimo para lo que ofrece; pagamos 199€ por una noche), hacen que se pierda totalmente la esencia del país. Pierdes el contacto directo con su gente, estás rodeado de turistas (muy poca intimidad), y es todo mucho más superficial. El buffet lo mismo, a pesar de ser de muy buena calidad, pierdes ese momento de desayuno típico recién hecho, servido en tu mesa con todo el cariño.

Ventajas: Location and the security and all staff are friendly and helpful

Desventajas: To many crow birds

Ventajas: Breakfast Buffet was amazing. The property was beautiful and serene. We loved the pool and spent ages enjoying it. Only downfall was that the beach was quite empty as the sea was very rough. There were no beach shacks either. For a quiet peaceful trip this hotel rocks. However if you are looking for swimming at the beach and enjoying the sea, this doesn't work

Desventajas: The food was slightly on the expensive side. However was delicious. Wish the beach was not that rough so we could enjoy it more. Also the hotel does not organize excursions / day trips so that was a bummer cause we had to keep negotiating with the locals for this

Ventajas: The staff was lovely and super friendly. Location is also fantastic. The food at the buffet restaurant was quite good. Swimming pool area is very nice.

Desventajas: It's not really a 5 star hotel. The hotel is old and in need of renovations. We were really unfortunate and there was a party on the other side of the river and we could hear the music and the party banging from our room. Couldn't sleep a wink. And it looks like it can happen regularly. It was a pity because it ruined out last night in Bentota.

Ventajas: Room and the breakfast

Desventajas: Service should be improved.

Ventajas: Muy bonito e impresionante

Desventajas: Las toallas de playa estaban sucias y olian fatal

Ventajas: The Spa and the professional therapies. The Watersport and the expert safeguard.

Ventajas: The staff was supportive and welcoming really secure and nice location

Desventajas: lack of veg receipe

Ventajas: Staff were friendly and kind. Cleanliness was excellent. Our room was always cleaned to a high standard and we loved the extra touches with the flowers. Staff were on always on hand with any requests.

Desventajas: I would have liked more of an option for eggs. I like my eggs poached or fried and I had to request these every morning which seemed to take a long time.

Desventajas: No private beach as mentioned by booking.com

Ventajas: The property is beautiful with really well kept gardens and a nice swimming pool to enjoy. The room was very clean, good facilities, great shower and very comfy bed. Location is also very good, not far from the beach and restaurants. It’s in a remote area which is great if you like peace and quiet.

Desventajas: The WiFi was pretty poor to be honest, it got slightly better towards the end of our stay. I have to say I got a weird vibe from the place, the staff were nice but seemed oddly nerved. The owner seemed nice when we arrived but after we told him we didn’t want to rent a bike for 1,700 p/d (v. Expensive for Sri Lanka) and we didn’t want the breakfast ($7 p/p, again v. Expensive! I paid just $4 for two people down on the main road) he seemed not be too pleased. When we checked out I said thank you to all the female staff and he didn’t even say goodbye or thank you. Anyway, great place overall! Highly recommend and the room is great value for money.

Ventajas: The rooms were great. The beds really comfortable. We hade the pool right outside the door. The food was good too. The best thing was the staf. They were really friendly and helped us whit everything we needed and gave advise.

Desventajas: There wasn't anything I didn't like really. If I must say anything it is that is like 10 min by tuk-tuk to the beach but we already knew that when we booked.

Ventajas: The nice and lushious garden and house, spacious room and very friendly staff, arranged extra bed and later check out for us. Very calm and green surroundings. Excellent breakfast! Thanks for having us!

Desventajas: The location is a bit far, but no problem with tuktuk or scooter.

Ventajas: It had a swimming pool

Desventajas: The staff were not polite and made us feel uncomfortable. We were traveling as a big group. They canceled one of our rooms without advising us. They refused to clean the bath room after 1 day stating they only did it every 3 days. There weren't enough towels in the room. Refused to give the kids breakfast since we ordered at 10 and last orders were at 10. The place is decent, the road to get there is a bit remote but we had a van so it was fine. Mainly the owner had a really bad attitude and left us who are fun. Loving group with a sour taste in our mouth.

Ventajas: Decent rooms, far from the beach (but that's something that you anyways see when you decide to make the booking). Good breakfast and most of the staff were really nice.

Desventajas: - The only place in Sri Lanka which asked us to take a full meal when we asked if we could have a small bowl of rice and curd for our 1year old toddler. At some places they gave it as complimentary, at other places they charged us, but nowhere anyone said no and asked to take full-meal instead when the requirement was just a bowl for a kid !! But anyways that's not a complaint as they were well within their right to say so but this certainly doesn't come under good hospitality that we had come to see all across our stay in Sri Lanka. - The initial room that was allocated was a completely different one from the one booked online. Not sure if that was intentional or a genuine error from booking.com/hotel, but was however resolved in some time.

Ventajas: Accommodation was clean and comfortable Staff were first class Breakfast was excellent Grounds were lovely well maintained with plenty of seating areas including an excellent balcony area

Desventajas: WiFi was slower than a snail Swimming pool did not look fresh enough to swim in but got got better as the stay went on but that was too late and I avoided it No fridge in room

Ventajas: Don't go to this hotel theaf this hotel staff

Desventajas: Poor cheap hopeless cheat to tourists don't go as show there photo opposites their hotel very dirty and dusty

Ventajas: The tranquil garden, the clean pool, the friendly people, the great food, the spacious family room.

Desventajas: A tuk tuk ride away from the beach - but Dhanuka the driver will play Bob Marley while he takes you there!

Ventajas: Si quieres tranquilidad este es el lugar correcto. Muy acogedor y agradable.

Desventajas: No salía mucha agua en la ducha

Ventajas: The staff here were excellent. Very friendly and we enjoyed their company.

Desventajas: Quite cooped up and even though they said daily maid service we didn’t have anyone clean our rooms during our 2 night stay. There’s no fridge or kettle in the room and I would have liked the basics at least.. no hair dryer or iron either which was disappointing and we didn’t get sheets to cover up on a couple of the beds... quite a distance from the beach about a 15 minute drive or 45 minute walk so not very convenient and we had to wait forever for a vehicle to take us in to the main beach strip.

Ventajas: Staff was good. Good breakfast and comfortable and clean rooms

Desventajas: Location is bit far from the beach. Approx 10-15 min drive.

Ventajas: El personal encantador, sin duda lo mejor! Budisa la mejor!nos ayudaron con todo. Llegamos a las 7 AM y nos prepararon corriendo la habitación y nos sirvieron un té.

Desventajas: 15 minutos andando hasta la playa. El precio de lo zumos nos pareció caros frente a lo que pagamos en el pueblo. Habitación sin televisión, el baño normalito

Ventajas: Una piscina estupenda y la gente encantadora.El entorno tranquilo, una playa estupenda y el desayuno de 10.

Desventajas: Quizás faltaba gel en el baño

Ventajas: The property is huge. The pool was clean and well maintained. The rooms were spacious and good. It's very close to the beach. The staff was helpful. My kids wanted to have Maggie one of the days and they allowed me to cook in the kitchen. It was very kind of them to do that.

Desventajas: The place was very lonely. There wasn't any other staying in the hotel. Maybe after the terror attack, there aren't much tourist coming to Sri Lanka.

Ventajas: Room with bacony Nice pool

Desventajas: Air conditioning external unit served two rooms so even when we switched it off to eliminate loud operating noise it still continued when neighbouring room used ac. Location adjacent to rail line with noisy trains every hour from early morning to 9pm

Ventajas: 24/7 pool facility is soo cool. Staff is very friendly and supportive. Rooms are very neat and clean including the bathroom. Wifi facility is available 24/7.

Desventajas: Food is bit overpriced. Nothing else.

Ventajas: Great rooms and pool

Desventajas: A bit far away from Bentota but that meant that we had the beach to ourselves

Ventajas: It’s 2 minutes walk from the beach. It’s surrounded by trees. Breakfast was ok. The stuff also was very friendly.

Desventajas: The water from the tab was yellow. From the sink, the shower water and in the toilet as well. Pretty disgusting considering you’ll have to take a shower or wash your face and your teeth. Also for what you are charged you can easily find a better place.

Ventajas: Food , Room View

Desventajas: Food Prices , Wash Room water doesn't purified and its not good for even hand wash,

Ventajas: Nothing

Desventajas: No shops or restaurants closeby. The staff wasn't really helpful and the restaurant closed before 9.

Desventajas: The room and the bathroom were ok but not that clean. Some of the lights in the room were not working. Also the air conditioning was on, but it was so hot we could not sleep, so it was not working properly.. Overall stay was ok, but not for that amount of money.

Ventajas: La piscina, la proximidad a una estupenda playa y a un par de buenos restaurantes en la misma.

Desventajas: El aparato de aire acondicionado era viejo (por no decir arcaico) y su funcionamiento producía un ruido chirriante (no era simplemente el ruido normal de la vibración de los aparatos no muy modernos, sino un chirrido insoportable que hizo que tuviéramos que apagarlo para poder dormir).

Ventajas: - really nice and relaxing place - near the empty beach and some nice restaurant - the room was big and clean and the big balcony is nice! - nice and clean pool - we wanted a quiet place far from the center and it was perfect!

Desventajas: - lots of ants in the room - staff was pushy to eat at their restaurant (too expensive for us) - cable didn't work - wifi was on and off

Ventajas: The food was good and the pool was Good..Staff were friendly

Desventajas: There were a lot of flies.We spotted lizards in the room.There was noise due to construction work.

Ventajas: The room was good and staff also

Desventajas: Pool was greenish and it’s a few minutes to walk to the beach

Ventajas: Very quiet, the nice beach very close and the staff helpful and friendly

Desventajas: You'd expect a much nicer room for that price in Sri Lanka. Bathroom was shabby and really cheap and old.

Ventajas: El curry estaba espectacular. La amabilidad de los dueños

Ventajas: A beautiful garden with a calm and relaxing atmosphere! Nice swimming pool. The location! Just two minutes walk to a small and quiet part of the beach with a few small restaurants with sun beds. Especially Abeys restaurant that had super nice and friendly staff and the best seafood we tasted during 10 days in Sri Lanka! You have to taste the whole grilled fish that was amazing!!

Ventajas: Very nice staff: really welcoming and taking care of guests! Nice garden and pool.

Ventajas: Great staff and food was very good. Room was clean

Desventajas: Shower water was not hot. The owner(?) person in charge was not friendly and asked us to move from the hammock that was hanging beside the pool in very public area, claiming it is personal item..

Ventajas: Room (hut) was fab. Spacious and spotless. Nice brekkie. All staff very polite, friendly and accommodating. Beautiful, peaceful botanical gardens. Idyllic setting on the lake. Excellent VFM.

Desventajas: Located a little out of the way of the Bentota ‘action’. Not the easiest place to find

Ventajas: Clean large room with King size bed. Large modern barthtoom with double sink. Nice view of the river while dining. Wooded and aurvedic treatments available. Excellent facility and great value for money.

Ventajas: 1. Entire Property's look and Feel. 2. Location.

Desventajas: 1. Very Poor Service. 2. If you are planning to eat in the property, try to avoid visit to their kitchen. 3. There was only 1 person to address all your concerns. I don't understand what all other people do in that property. 4. Lovely cottages but for every service you need to visit the reception as their is no intercom facilities available. Visiting the reception at night will be a challenge as these cottages are at least at a distance of 100-200m from the reception and is surrounded by decent number of reptiles.

Ventajas: The owners and staff were extremely friendly, helpful and always went that extra way to make it feel like a real home. Superb food, great and peaceful natural setting... the chef even went out to buy tofu when I asked if they serve it. I highly recommend the river cruise as well as their traditional breakfasts and meals. Shops are walking distance but far enough away to keep it a very peaceful setting!

Desventajas: The only thing I didn’t like about this place was leaving!! Will be coming back for sure.

Ventajas: Location is very good

Desventajas: Breakfast

Ventajas: Location. Layout.

Desventajas: No intercom. TV facilities very poor. Breakfast not included in the tariff.

Ventajas: Dalmanuta Garden is one of the best place where I have stayed: very comfortable and large house, friendly personnel, the owner is a really nice person always ready to help, peaceful and cosy atmosphere far away from road noise, good wi-fi connection, and beautiful garden. A little bit far from the city centre, but it not a problem to catch up a tuk-tuk (cheap local taxi). The hotel has a restaurant where guests can try delicious local cuisine. I was impressed with the breakfast: highly recommend, tasty)

Ventajas: Excellent calm and quiet green place for nature lovers, readers, writers, long stay guests and ayurvedic treatment seekers which is located at 15 min drive from Bentota beach. Staff is very friendly, kind and helpful specially the person who take care rooms, receptionist and the restaurant staff. Rooms are clean and spacious with high privacy. (well separated spacious individual chalet with personal veranda and a garden). Bathrooms are also clean an spacious. Wifi is good. Food is delicious and everything is worth for the money. Guests can get a wetland experience and watch birds and wetland species within their garden. This property is adjacent to bentota river and they have dinning huts on river.

Desventajas: It is better if they can pay attention on regular pool cleaning process since this location have covered from trees and there are many small creatures

Ventajas: Big beautiful room, nice pool, and a very quiet spot

Desventajas: A bit far from the beach or downtown and the food is a little overpriced for the quality you get

Ventajas: The place is huge and scenic. It's by the river and you can have a meal in a pagoda built on the river. The staff was amazing, courteous and helpful. The owner is also very nice. You can get some ayurvedic massages done as well which is cool and there is a Jacuzzi and pool which is well maintained. There's a resident cat if you like animals and a huge space to walk around with interesting birds visiting. The hotel is spotless and the cottages are huge. A few misses with this one but 99% good.

Desventajas: The only thing I didn't like about the place is that it's a little inside and getting out means you need to take a tuk tuk if you haven't rented a vehicle and the tuk tuks are really expensive. You have to bargain with them. The food was also mediocre and expensive. Stay here for sure but you can give the food a miss. Also the furniture had termites but that didn't bother me much.

Ventajas: Nice hotel and rooms, great wellnes. Beautiful beach and very calm place. Full of German people.

Desventajas: Just never ending problems with Wi-Fi, waiting very long time in restaurant.

Ventajas: Location

Desventajas: I booked 2 months in advance, but my sea facing room was given to someone else. When I demanded what can be done, they gave me a clubbed place. For $100, I expect better service. They did provide complementary foot massage, but the service was denied. On top of it, No room service, or internet in the room. Can't connect to the reception from inside the room, frequent power cuts and mosquitoes

Desventajas: Sri Lanka is having a worm weather, this hotel room doesn't have a Air Conditioner , at least in the web site they should mention the that is a non- AC room. that was very uncomfortable to stay with out AC. Staff doesn't know how to talk to the gests. very unhappy.

Ventajas: Location only

Desventajas: Except location all other factors

Ventajas: Lo mejor, la piscina, las vistas y el trato del personal.

Desventajas: No hay wifi en las habitaciones y el que hay en el restaurante no va del todo bien (lo que está genial, si buscas desconectar). La cena y el desayuno no son gran cosa.

Ventajas: Location is fantastic - on the beach, but with shadow, nice restaurant, great pool, massage service... You could just lay on a sunbed there for ages.

Desventajas: There is a strange system in place that all you buy/eat there is put in your room account - I now it's not unique - but with some flaws. The accounting is made by hand and sometimes misses. We pay (initially, it was sorted out) the bill for the previous tourists in our room, we pay on the spot a bottle of water, but later appears on the bill, you never know for certain how much you spend and the receptionist takes your word that you have paid all your dues since the accountant is far from reception and with apparently no communication in between. But that's their problem, no need to worry about it, they are very helpful and in the end all ends well.

Ventajas: Location is great right on the water. Breakfast was set you paid extra a bit steep in cost.

Ventajas: Well located right in front of the sea.

Desventajas: Didn’t realize it wasn’t on the main beach.

Ventajas: Q està en la playa, aún q no es agua clara, más bien turbiA. Y la cena si estaba muy buena y el desayuno

Desventajas: Las fotos son de hace 15 años, por lo menos, por q las habitaciones son las mismas pero sin cambiar el mosquitero (sucio), ni cortinas (sucias y ni se mueven), ni sabanas( parecían sin lavar), desde esa época. Està bastante abandonado. El personal muy serio y dsp de llevar por la isla 15 días y muchos alojamientos, me sorprendió esa aptitud. No repetiría.

Ventajas: Breakfast was very well and good.

Ventajas: Great food, AMAZING location, friendly and helpful staff. We wanted to stay longer than planned but they were totally booked - good sign, right? Will definitely be back!
