The hosts were wonderful, and they made our time in Sri Lanka unforgettable. Extremely kind, generous and hospitable. Hopefully we will manage to come back. It's thanks to them that we managed to make the most of a relatively short time in Bentota.

Aayu was super friendly, providing us with all kinds of information we needed. The breakfast was fresh with a big selection of fruits, along with yoghurt, toasts, sausage and eggs and delicious homemade cake! Very close to the beach, clean facilities and a cute teddybear-like watchdog! Will always come back to this place when near Bentota!

This was a really lovely Homestay. Very clean and comfortable and an excellent location so near to the train station. The family ( Mother and two sons) were so kind and helpful. Breakfasts were fresh and delicious. We were in Sri Lanka for nearly a month, and this was our favourite accomodation. If you are in Bentota, the Welcome Family Guesthouse is to be recommended.

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
