Unfortunately, our stay at this property did not meet expectations. While the location is convenient, situated in front of the main road, the overall experience left much to be desired. The team lacked qualifications and attention to detail—it felt like they could be working in any job with the same level of effort. Cleanliness was not up to standard, and the rooms were poorly decorated. Even the bathrooms around the pool were in a disastrous state. The property does offer good value for money if you're a backpacker looking for a budget-friendly option, and the pool is genuinely excellent. However, that’s about the only highlight of the stay. Adding pictures of the surroundings would not do justice, as they don't compensate for the issues encountered.

Unqualified Staff: The team seemed untrained and inattentive, as if any other job would yield the same level of performance. Lack of Cleanliness: Both the rooms and shared areas were not well-maintained, leaving a poor impression. Poor Room Decoration: The rooms felt dull and lacked thoughtful design or attention to detail. Terrible Bathrooms Around the Pool: The poolside bathrooms were in a state of disrepair and far from acceptable. Missed Opportunity with Surroundings: The property’s location could have been better highlighted, but even showcasing it with photos felt pointless. Noisy Location: Being right in front of a busy main road, the noise levels can be disturbing, especially for light sleepers. Limited Amenities: Apart from the pool, there aren’t many amenities or services that stand out, making the experience feel incomplete. Inconsistent Value for Money: While it might appeal to budget travelers or backpackers, others might find the overall quality lacking for the price.

Swimming pool and garden beautiful, friendly personnel, clean room and bathroom with warm water and good shower.

In rainy season the beach is not a viable place to go. Quality Restaurants are minimum 2km walking away (the wave) or 4.8 km to railway station and Bentota beach center (Rana sea food). Bed was big enough but felt the springs in the mattress. Simple breakfast.

All liked it

Great stay. Lovely owners who went above and beyond. They upgraded us for free when we arrived and we had two spacious rooms overlooking the pool. The pool was very clean and we enjoyed the sunbeds and pool towels which were provided. The restaurant food was excellent and the both the western breakfast and srilankan breakfast are highly recommend. We travelled with two children and the staff were very attentive to them and very friendly. They arranged a super tuk tuk guide who took us on a river safari and to nearby restaurants. The beach was right across the road a very easy walk.

Nothing

The rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the staff was amazing.

We loved the really big, beautiful apartment. Our kids enjoyed the pool. Breakfast was tasty and really big, restaurant is available for lunch and dinner as well. There is a fully equipped kitchen in the apartment, hence we never used it - it would be great for long term stay. Owners / staff were helpful and nice, even offered us coffee at midnight when we were leaving to the airport. Induruwa Beach is close - across the road. Apartment is not directly on Bentota beach despite its name, but on Induruwa Beach (nice and more quiet than Bentota Beach, but still few restaurants and local stores in walking distance). I can only recommend this place.

Mosquitoes :D otherwise all OK

Modern, beautiful grounds, clean pool, great staff and food, lonely beach just above the street, great value for money, highly recommend!

you’ll hear the trains behind the garden a few times a day

Spotlessly clean, very friendly helpful staff. Pool well maintained, crystal clear. Comfortable beds . Walking distance to Iduruwa train station, frequent buses passing.. Would stay again Small restaurant on site, nice food, we ata there most nights. Would stay again.
