The only thing is the beach was not near , but it was only a short Tuktuk ride and did not cause us any problems

Loved the easy going friendly staff , loved the surroundings, the chef was amazing. Rohan was very helpful the staff were always smiling and very welcoming . The pool was a fabulous temperature and it was so peaceful. Also loved the friendly dogs .

No serious issues but I think some people may think it is located too far from the beach and other amenities. We were happy to walk 10 -15 mins to the beach but some may find that difficult. Similarly re distance to other restaurants. On the positive side someone was always available to call a tuk tuk when needed.

It was beautifully laid out and very serene. The room was spacious and maintained well throughout our stay. I loved how friendly and helpful everyone was and also that they offered free tea and coffee and the chance to fill up our water bottles as often as we wanted. The massage treatment was perfect and the groundskeeper really helped us understand the flora and fauna surrounding us.

Can't find anything to fault at this price level (I've been in the hotel business for 20+ years).

Beautiful hotel, spacious rooms, quiet but not remote, friendly people. Simply fantastic!!! If we're ever again in the area we'll both definitely want to stay here again. HIGHLY recommended!

I wish they served real coffee and not Instant coffee, at least as an Add-on option! Breakfast was ok but quite expensive for the quality.

The property and the garden are beautiful, the room amazingly big, clean and comfortable, the swimming pool lovely, the dogs adorable and the staff very nice. 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! I would come back without any hesitation.

What do you think....????

This was my third stay at the property, so I think that says it all! I just love the peacefulness of the place and the natural surroundings. There's a lovely pool, a beautiful, well-maintained garden area and the rooms are huge and tastefully decorated and a bonus you don't often find - lots of hangers to hang up your clothes!! Really comfy bed too! Delicious breakfast with great touches like proper sausage, a slice of lime for the papaya and home-made jam! The Sri Lankan option is really tasty! The staff were great - you only have to ask and they will brew you a complimentary pot of tea - and it was really nice to be remembered by both the chef and the massage lady - I enjoyed two massages while I was there. Finally, when the driver who was booked to take me to my next location wasn't able to make it, Rohan stepped in and drove me himself - now that's hospitality at it's best!

WiFi not working well.

Nice spacious rooms with air conditioning, on suite bathroom and big veranda, lovely swimming pool. Really tasty food, had some amazing sea food fish and prawns for dinner. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Everything was fabulous, the only thing to be aware of is there are two harmless and friendly dogs at the property that will come to the tables to try to have your food. Could be a bit bothersome at times but the staff would try to move them away when they could.

Amazing place to stay- huge, very clean and welcoming rooms in gorgeous serene setting, a sanctuary. Lovely staff (loved the fresh coconut) who were very accommodating (esp with transport, tours and rickshaws) and all the food was delicious. Beautiful empty white sand beaches just a very quick and cheap rickshaw ride or 10-15 min walk away. Highly highly recommend.

Possible a little far out but Rohan we call a tut tut guy who is lovely and it's so cheap

Amazing place peaceful spotless friendly some of the best food we had in Sri Lanka

Stayed in March 2024

Breakfast wasn’t included in the price. This was an oversight on my part when booking but just be mindful of this because, at approximately £7.50 pp, we felt was comparatively expensive, and there are very limited places to eat nearby.

Beautiful villa tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Bentota but easily reached by tuk tuk. Friendly, helpful staff. Spacious and comfortable room with excellent A/C. Had an amazing massage whilst there. Free tea and coffee available at all times (even at 5.30am, before our airport transfer) the perfect place to unwind for a few days at the end of our holiday.

Stayed in March 2024

The villa is set in beautiful gardens, the pool is lovely, we enjoyed eating outside under cover and the food is delicious. Our room was cool and spacious with a large bathroom and a shaded balcony, perfect for bird viewing and just enjoying the views. The staff were very friendly and Rohan was so helpful.

This is not a criticism as we liked everything but we like a cup of tea first thing in the morning and a kettle in the room would be great Having said that,complimentary tea and coffees were available all day it was just that very first cuppa that we like

Everything-Rohan Dilshan Nallacca and Chef Salat could not do enough for us.Everything done with a lovely smile Rohan even got up at 3 am to help us take our cases to the taxi Just sorry that we didn’t meet Karen but that will have to wait until next time

A lovely villa set in a village off the main road. The accommodation was very comfortable. Rohan was an excellent host and ever ready to help out with booking taxis or giving advice. The staff was friendly and attentive. The property has a lovely pool and is just a 10 minute walk from the beach.
