9.0 / 10.0
Prachtige tuin, zwembad, dicht bij strand. Verse cocosnoot gekregen.
Het spoor loopt er inderdaad vlak langs, maar daar hadden we geen last van
Eten is prima, maar vlakbij zit een indiaas restaurant dat meer keuze en betere porties biedt

Zu einem sehr schönen Strand sind es nur wenige Minuten zu Fuß über die Bahngleise und die Straße.
Es gibt einige Restaurants in der Nähe. Die Anlage selbst und der große Garten sind sehr gepflegt.
Das Haus liegt direkt an der Bahnlinie und aufgrund des Bahnübergangs hupen die durchfahrenden Züge.

We had an amazing time and couldn't have choosen a better place to stay.
The staff were very friendly and most helpful.
Special thanks to the waiter who served us, he was kind and welcoming and made our stay more special.
It was a perfect stay, maybe the balcony door could be more sound proof.
Nothing much to complain about, look forward to going back.

Zimmer groß und sauber, so wie in der Beschreibung! Aufmerksames Personal! Strand direkt hinter den Bahngleisen und Straße gelegen (150m, vom Hotel nicht sichtbar).
Standard Frühstück aus Obst, Saft, Kaffee, Toast und Omlette, sehr lecker :)
Das Spa Angebot, der männliche Masseur erschien nicht sehr seriös und etwas aufdringlich, wollte mehr Geld als auf dem Angebot ausgeschildert.

Very nice hotel set in an old Walauwa. Functional clean pool, along with a great breakfast which had fresh juice and hot portions too. Rooms were quite big, with a balcony as big as some hotel rooms. Friendly staff too.
Found some bugs in our room, but I think that's everywhere in SL.

Style and hospitality
Hotel located directly in front of the train rod which was very noisy every time the train pass
8.0 / 10.0
Beautiful traditional property set in stunning location right next to the beach. Calm and quiet perfect for a relaxing trip. Stones throw away from Bentota which can be accessed by tuktuk. Staff are very polite and always made the effort to chat and ensure we were entertained.
Mattress was terribly uncomfortable and needs to be changed
Food was ok, but disappointed with the lack of local/ traditional options - there is an assumption that tourists want international cuisine - menu should be made more accessible i.e. provide a set menu with a couple of options each day, as it was unclear which foods were included in our half board (breakfast and dinner) option
Staff were nice, but a bit overly pushy to sell or accomodate - my advice to staff - let the guests enjoy at their time at their own free will
10.0 / 10.0
Very friendly and helpful, good size room which was clean and welcoming.
It was my husband’s birthday and they had a made a lovely cake and put balloons in the room.

Food was enjoyable, Sri Lanka breakfast was very nice.
Just over the road from a beautiful long beach.

Good location when you like staying far from the city center. almost private beach just across the road, 3 mins walk.
Very good host who is ready to help with all questions and really tried to fix Wi-Fi connection when we needed it for work.
When we continued our journey we realized that in house suggestions like spa/dinner was more expensive that usual rates across Sri Lanka

Tasty breakfasts with good coffee, helpful administration, nice territory and swimming pool, comfortable rooms. 3 minutes walking from the beautiful wild beach.
It's important to mention that Wi-Fi and some lights in the room are still working even if there is a power cut.
The railway is really close to the hotel, so it could be noisy sometimes, but fortunately trains don't run too often.
Prices and portion sizes in the hotel restaurant were not so good as Sri Lanka usually offers.
8.0 / 10.0
Tranquility of the beautifully kept garden. Lots of birds from kingfisher to hummingbirds.
Perfectly maintained pool.

Staff very attentive especially housekeeper and gardener.
The food could be improved although great food at restaurant on the beach.

9.0 / 10.0
Very nice place. The propriety is beautiful. Quiet place in front of the beach. You can reach the town very quickly by tuk tuk.
The room was big. Good food and the team was very nice. I recommend this place if you like to be outside of the center.
7.0 / 10.0
The pool is a great temperature.
The breakfast was ok.
Location is good, if you are looking for somewhere a bit remote, close to a beautiful not crowded beach. We spent our last two days at this hotel before flying back to the UK so just wanted to relax a bit. There is a turtle hatchery within walking distance and we went on a river safari organised by the hotel, but there is otherwise not much going on in the close vicinity of the hotel.
If you get to the beach early enough you will catch the fishermen hauling in their catch for the day which is super interesting to watch.
The hotel is clearly a bit old and requires some maintenance.
10.0 / 10.0

Not good WiFi connection
9.2 / 10.0
Very nice hotel! The staff is amazing and very friendly. The food is nice. The pool is clean and the surroundings are beautiful. If you have any requests just ask for Udesh, Dinesh (tuk tuk driver) or Sanka!
I will definitely go back there! I highly recommend this place.
