Everything was exceeding our expectations. The hotel alone is beautiful with a lot of trees and nice lights, a great pool and cosy, clean rooms. The food is also superb, they offer a great selection for dinner and lunch for a good price and you get a huge portion, which is always appreciated, but on top of that everything tastes really really good! The cherry on top is the staff… all people working there is clearly there for you to ensure you spend an amazing time there. Everyone is super helpful and everyone is unimaginably nice. I highly recommend visiting this place and stay there for many nights. We regretted that we couldn’t stay there for longer time, trully amazing place and people!

Happy Man Village is the best place to enjoy the real Sri Lankan experience. In this family run structure is possible to enjoy amazing meals made of fresh products from their lands, simple cooked and delicious. The staff is going to propose several activities to do in the area, in this way there is no need to settle anything since everything will be managed from them simplyfing our life. We really enjoyed the catamaran safari and the boat trip in the river close to the village. But the best thing is the attention from the staff to the guests, always smiling and being available to any possible requests. A special mention needs to be done to the young Baba he was always available and ready to help, bringing us small treats like smoothies and cocount, at any time of the day and showing us nice landscapes spots, along with the cinnamon and wild plants and animals in the surroundings of the village. Located in the middle of Kosgoda village, here we found the most authentic feelings.

If you are looking for accommodation with nice vibes, friendly hosts and good food, look no further. Free House is perfect. My partner and I have been travelling for 8 months and this accommodation has been a highlight for us. I highly recommend getting the breakfast. It’s a generous Sri Lankan style breakfast and we enjoyed learning about how everything is cooked. There is also a small patisserie out the front serving a selection of baked goods that we enjoyed. The hosts are both very talented when it comes to making food. The room was perfect, wifi worked well, good air con and a comfortable bed. Book now!

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!

Such a beautiful home right on the river. The family who runs this homestay are incredibly kind and went out of their way to make us comfortable. The daily breakfast was plentiful and delicious, consisting of omelettes, bread, fruit, fresh juice and tea or coffee. The balcony was a beautiful place to watch the sunset and the room included access to a little kitchen with a kettle so we could make our own pots of tea and coffee. It was the perfect place to rest and explore Bentota.

We liked everything. Room was clean and tidy as shown in pics. Initially had booked this stay for one night but we extended our stay for one more night as we liked the home stay. We are pure vegiterian and it was very difficult for us to find veg restaurants in srilanka. And finally we got authentic and very tasty veg food in this stay. Owner is very cooperative. This was our bestest stay in our 8 days srilanka trip.
