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!

Traum Villa, hotel in Bentota

A recently renovated guest house, Traum Villa offers accommodation in Bentota. With pool views, this accommodation features a balcony and a swimming pool.

It’s a beautiful property. The owners put years of work to make it one of the most pleasant places to stay. They are only four units in Traum Villa, so guests can enjoy privacy, greenery, beautiful lawns, and a wonderful pool in the shape of Sri Lanka. All units are spacious and comfortable. Monica and her staff took really good care of us. Traum Villa is not very close to the beach, walking is not an option. You would need to use Tuk-Tuk or other forms of transportation (your own wheels) to get to the beautiful Bentota beach or downtown restaurants.

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!

Style Villa, hotel in Bentota

A 3-minute walk from Lunuganga in Bentota, Style Villa features accommodations with access to wellness packages, beauty services, and steam room.

The family are just wonderful. The owner is an incredible cook and always has a smile on her face. She knows all about plants and remedies and is full of all sorts of fascinating information. The daughter was super friendly. I went out on their little rowboat three times because it was so incredible. Breakfast in the morning was really magical. If you stay here you absolutely have to do this. See the lovely fruit bats, the flying foxes, and all sorts of animals. I really loved my stay here . The pool was a plus.

    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!

    Great hospitality. Location is good, facing the water, in a quiet area close to the main street. Wonderful breakfast, with fruit, yogurt, eggs, bread, juice and coffee/ tea. We also had dinner there one of the nights - great fried noodles; best dinner in Sri Lanka. The host is very welcoming, and helps out with whatever you need, from water sport to excursions and renting a scooter.

    Lovely room hosted by a lovely family. The room is spacious and comfotable with a quiet a/c. When I first arrived, the wifi wasn't working that well, I mentioned it to the host, and he called Digitel and fixed it in 5 minutes! Then there was a huge storm and the electricity went out, and they were in my room in no time turning on the fuses. No problem was too big for this family! I also loved my breakfasts here-- I have all kinds of food issues-- low carb, no gluten, and the dad happily created healthy and delicious breakfasts for me!

    I had a lovely new year celebrating in janus paradise rest. Janus was a great host, the location fab. I didn't venture away from the hotel for my 4 days. The rooms were comfortable, the prices fair, staff pleasant and food nice. I shared some good company and fab sunsets. Which was pretty much what I was looking for. The pool was pleasant in the Sri lankan heat. The ocean in Bentota is rough, not easy for casual swimming, but refreshing, and the beach clean and quiet. Thanks Janus

    What a wonderful place. We felt so welcome. The room was lovely and clean, and we had a quite large outdoor private area. The host is very friendly and serviceminded. She recommend the best restaurants and made good deals for us for tours and transport. The guesthouse is in a quiet area not far from the most wonderful beach you could imagine. You just have to go down the road, cross the railway at the station and go through the park....We highly recommend a stay and would gladly return of we came to the area again

    It was very friendly and quiet place near from beautiful beach with very kind host who makes a great beakfast (a lot of fresh fruits and every day different food). The room was small but sufficient. The hosts picked up at the airport and during our stay, when we needed, they drove us in the tuk tuk somewhere. There was family atmosphere, we felt there like at home. I definitelly recommend this accomodation.
