A beautiful place situated 2 minutes from the beach. Really well presented, extra touches to make everything appear special with flowers on the bed and on dining table. Beaches and pool towels are also provided which is very handy. We and an evening meal which was very tasty and plentiful. Yes indeed the area has more mosquitoes than perhaps others but the hotel takes many steps to alleviate the nuisance. We didn’t find the railway a bother at all. All in all a great place and happy to recommend.

We've been in Bentota a few times now, and this is our favorite location. Very clean, comfortable bed! No mold! A lot of places in Sri Lanka have mold, not here. Also, nice big shower head with good pressure without the heater switch. Free flowing hot water, this is rare. Nice to have a bottle of water when we arrive late and thirsty. It was sold out so we could only stay one night. The floor was so clean I felt comfortable barefoot, with no crumbs or sand like I felt other places. Lovely family, everyone was so kind. They helped carry my luggage. Always smiling and nice. Great breakfast, we really enjoyed it. Fresh juice without sugar added. GREAT Wifi, it's listed in the room, so you don't have to wait or ask for a pass code. LOVE that the AC is not right above our head, like in most places. Nice quiet fan if you don't want AC. Everything was well thought out. No mosquitoes in the room! This is a big deal! No ants. Easy to communicate with on whatsapp. Nice mini fridge. There are a lot of personal touches. If avaliable book.

What I liked most was the kindness of friendliness of the fellow local tourists who stayed with us. There were three ladies who became very friendly with us and we shared our food with them. It was a unique experience.

Charika Villa

Bentota

Located in Bentota, 700 metres from Bentota Beach, Charika Villa provides accommodation with a private beach area, free private parking, a garden and a terrace.

I would say that Charika Villa is just a perfect example of hospitality. The room is lovely, the furniture is new and pleasant to use, and the bathroom is great size and even has a heater. The host is amazingly supportive. He found us a great surf instructor and helped us with transport but never promoted unwanted services. The breakfast was also great and peacocks and squirrels running around were so lovely. If you are looking for a place where you can rest you mind - that is a great choice.

We loved the Red Coconut Villa, everything was perfect. The garden is amazing, like an oasis. Everything is so tastefully done, it couldn’t be better. The beach is across the road, so quiet. We enjoyed our last 2 days before we went home to England and it was the best place to finish. Thank you for everything! Paul + Monika

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!

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!

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
