Thaala Bentota ★★★★★

📍 Hotel Road, Bentota

"We stayed at Thaala Bentota for two nights with our family, and it was a truly memorable family getaway. The food was delicious, and the food and beverage service was outstanding. The front office team gave us a warm welcome and made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. The housekeeping team maintained excellent cleanliness throughout our stay. A special thank you to our room attendant, Pradeep, for his excellent service and attention to detail. We also appreciate Sanjana from the front office for being very attentive, friendly, and helpful. Overall, everything was excellent. We had a wonderful experience and highly recommend Thaala Bentota to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Thank you to the entire team for making our family vacation so special!"

Taj Bentota Resort & Spa

Taj Bentota Resort & Spa ★★★★★

📍 National Holiday Resort, Beach Rd, Bentota

"Couldn't fault this hotel. My room was upgraded to a sea view de luxe room and it was fantastic. It was well cleaned every day by Jinendra who also left an amusing 'towel animal' for me daily! Breakfast in the Palms Restaurant was superb, plenty of choice and the staff couldn't do enough for you. Sam was exceptional and went out of his way to get everything I asked for. Madhuka and Dimli also deserve a special mention. The SHACK seafood restaurant was excellent and good value. We also had some evening meals in the Palms Restaurant. They offer a magnificent buffet but we ordered a la carte and were not disappointed. We ventured outside the hotel for an evening meal on a few occasions (across the railway line) but found the standard to be mediocre and not that cheap compared with what was available at the hotel. The swimming pool was easily accessible (graduated steps) and the water wonderfully warm. We never had a problem getting a sun lounger after breakfast although many are obviously reserved early. The extensive beach is lovely for walks. There are sun loungers in the shaded area in the trees but these have to be paid for. The hotel offers a number of daytime activities and there is evening entertainment. A wonderful stay and I would highly recomment this hotel."

Prince Beach Hotel Bentota ★★★

📍 Prince Beach Hotel, Bentota

"My husband and I spent 2 weeks at the hotel in November. The hotel is small, cozy and quiet. Not new, but in good condition. The nearest town is 5-7 minutes by tuktuk, which can be rented right at the hotel. Common area and swimming pool with 4* Wunderbar. To the sea and a gorgeous beach 2 minutes via the railway. It doesn't interfere with rest at all. The beach is clean, sun loungers are under awnings, but workers can place sun loungers with umbrellas in any place convenient for you. Food and drinks are brought to the beach from the Wunderbar hotel restaurant. In addition, when we were finishing the construction of a beach bar, it should already be working. We lived in a room on the 2nd floor with a balcony. The room is spacious, has everything you need: air conditioning, refrigerator, tea set, TV, ceiling fan, hairdryer. They clean very cleanly. Beach towels are provided and changed regularly. The staff is very friendly, polite and responsive. Thanks to the hotel owner and his staff for a wonderful stay."

Celestia Ayurveda Resort ★★★

📍 243 Elpitiya Road, Bentota

"I was there with my family attending a wedding at a different location, closer to the hotel — which was the main reason we chose this place. However, the decision turned out to be a total waste, a nightmare and we are extremely disappointed with the choice. From the moment we stepped into the hotel, starting at check-in, (or I would rather say from the car park) the staff pushed us to make payments immediately ( it felt like they wanted us to pay before we even breathed). The ladies at the front desk keeps on following you ,till you keep the bags on the floor and take your card/cash out of the pocket. We were accommodated in the right-wing rooms, and suddenly the water supply to the toilets completely stopped. We had no way to shower or even use the toilet. This was especially frustrating because there were elders and kids in the family, and even another group of guests , a family from Australia with children and seniors were facing the same water issue. We overheard the staff mentioning them that it's a “breakdown” and that they were unable to supply water to shower and toilet. For a hotel, that is totally unacceptable. The rooms also had poor lighting, with no proper lighting system at all. We could barely find our belongings inside the room. The justification they gave? That it was part of the Ayurvedic concept. With all due respect to concepts , guests need water, lights, and basic comfort, not philosophy. The front office staff were extremely unprofessional and had absolutely no understanding of customer service. We had a large number of rooms booked, and most of them had multiple issues. Nothing was handled properly or professionally. We had to wait hours for something as simple as bottled water/ toilet papers. Even toilet use and showering had to be postponed because the hotel couldn’t provide basic utilities on time. Then comes breakfast — flies everywhere. So many flies. The dishes were extremely limited. I stayed for 2 days, and on both days, few from the only constant items were sautéed potatoes and bread. That’s not a menu, that’s a loop. Overall, this hotel failed in the most basic expectations: ❌ No water ❌ Poor lighting ❌Unprofessional staff ❌ Slow service ❌ Fly-filled breakfast with extremely limited food We deeply regret choosing this place. Definitely would NOT recommend. Very disappointed"

Club Bentota

"We had our very special day at Club Bentota, which cost 35000 LKR with a discount. First thing I noticed was the Check-in was done by a Bell boy & property was not well maintained, same as abandoned. Then someone came as the department head. I requested cloves & ginger for us. After multiple calls, I received ginger but no cloves. During the dinner chef informed that they don't have cloves. We saw the room floor is sticky with sea breeze. Then we found out hot water is not functioning. We had to have coz my wife was sick & to remove hair gel she has to have a shower. The maintenance department came 2 time with tools. I asked them not to repair it now bcoz it was already 7.00 pm & we were ready to take a shower. Due to the incidence we requested a room change. We changed the room to another that was worse than ever. Same sticky floor, with dust, not cleaned. The lady who said RDM made ridiculous arguments & we understood she is not capable of handling the room cleanliness. The Restaurant & Meals. We had bread only for dinner coz not even a single dish made an appetite. We appreciate the cake for the Honeymoon. That surprise was the worst we ever tasted. Food was a nightmare. What I noticed was that they don't use the ingredients that should be included. As a Hotelier, I concern even the food left by guests. But here, everything was very cheap & a poor recipe, with a small number of ingredients. We observed that the staff were in casual suits without uniforms. Balcony was as ******* mention, dangerous as broken. The bed preparation was 0%. Cleanliness is 0%—no spoons for Tea preparation. No wifi PW was mentioned. Our Honeymoon was wasted. Please accept my apology. As a Hotel Manager, that was the worst experience I ever faced for 35000 LKR. Not recommended for anyone."

Mahi Villa Hotels in Bentota

Mahi Villa

"*A dreamy room with a perfect view!* We were extremely lucky to stay in this wonderful room/villa, located just 800 meters from the beach. A tuk-tuk ride to the beach was always available. It was truly the perfect place to escape from everyday life. The view of the river was simply enchanting and made the room a very special retreat. It has such a cozy, inviting atmosphere that we immediately felt at home. Everything was super clean and lovingly decorated. A delicious breakfast with freshly squeezed juice was served every morning. The proximity to the beach was another plus – simply wonderful! We truly enjoyed our stay and would return anytime. A real insider tip for anyone who loves peace, wellness, and nature. The Mahi Prabath family are wonderful hosts. Polite, helpful, and very close to your heart. Best regards, Claudia + Dierk Börner"

Lanka Princess All Inclusive Hotel Hotels in Bentota

Lanka Princess All Inclusive Hotel

"I went there for Ayurveda. Most of the guests were German, as the hotel was run by a German. They said it was their first time staying here from Japan, but they were very polite and friendly. The room was very spacious, and there was still plenty of room for two wooden decks on the veranda. You could see the ocean through the palm trees from the room, and the sound of the waves was soothing. The Ayurveda staff were very accommodating, even though our stay was short, and we were able to refresh ourselves. The food was delicious! We also enjoyed Ayurvedic food. There was a security guard on duty 24 hours a day checking the exit from the hotel to the beach. The beach was very beautiful, and we took a walk every morning and evening during our stay. The sunset was especially beautiful. It was the southwest monsoon season, but we were blessed with good weather and it was a great holiday."

Prince Beach Hotel Bentota ★★★
"Stayed at Prince Beach Hotel Bentota with family. The biggest highlight of this property is definitely its excellent location, right by the beach, which made it very convenient and enjoyable for us. However, overall cleanliness, service, and amenities were average and could use some improvement. The staff was polite, but the experience did not fully match expectations. With better maintenance and upgraded facilities, this hotel has great potential because the location is truly fantastic."

"The stay was excellent with really good food. The property is just beside the beach, so easily accessible. Nimesh Sahas and Kavidu were really great hosts who took excellent care of us and were very prompt in their service. Would highly recommend this place, as it is a better value for money, not too much. But an excellent experience."

Celestia Ayurveda Resort ★★★
"Not a four star hotel at all - closer to two. Management of the place is poor: our bedroom wasn't cleaned while we were there and no sign to hang up to request it to be cleaned. No bin in the room. No furniture on the balcony to sit out on. We had no water on the second day and had to be moved from our block. We were moved to a room where the security box was faulty and beeped throughout the night. The wifi kept cutting out. The worst thing though is the way they communicate - nothing about treatments when we arrived even though it is an ayurvedic resort and we had to ask what was available and then they quoted different prices for the same thing to my daughter and me. At night there is nobody on reception so you arrive to a ghost hotel and that's how we found we had no water, there was nobody to tell us as we came in we had to phone and eventually somebody answered to tell us. There are lots of people on reception in the morning and none seem too busy. It's got a strange feel to it - lighting in the corridors isn't strong enough and also the bricks in the paths are so loose in places that they actually dislodged when I walked over them. Given the cost and the fact they say they are a four star hotel, they need to seriously get some customer training in and improve all the things that guests expect from this sort of hotel. The positive aspect of this place were the porters who did seem to have to work hard."

"Most exhilarating experience. The hotel was very well kept and the staff was very cordial. All of them, including the f&b manager. They even arranged for a sumptuous breakfast on the potion of our room. The spears was amazing. There is train track between the hotel and the beach, which was very new to us and amusing. Just added to the charm. The beach was very quiet and beautiful. The people at reception were a little bit uptight but surely nothing that we indians cannot manage. Over all a memorable experience. Will surely comeback!"
