Waterside Bentota Hotel

The rooms are always clean and have a beautiful balcony overlooking the river.

The hotel was brilliant and we felt safe here. We liked its quiet location close to everything the property offers. - the venue is close to the beach, town, lagoon, and beautiful gardens. - the breakfast was great and check-in was early.

The staff were really helpful and lovely friendly and the location was lovely. The airport was 10 minutes' drive away. The room was spotless and reasonably large with overlooking waterside, beautiful views, a well furnished veranda...

i have stayed in the deluxe queen room with plenty space and a kettle.

The food here offers a great variety at affordable prices.

The room was clean and bright, with a balcony offering fantastic views and there were always fresh towels available; also, the place was conveniently situated near the mangroves and lovely gardens.

The setting here is by the riverside, with a stunning view of an ancient temple 🏞️.

Prime Location 🌿

Being situated near the mangroves, lake, and riverbank was a major plus for this place.

We had a fantastic 8-night stay in a beautiful location with friendly staff and delicious dining options.

We had a great time during our 8-night stay, the accommodations were fantastic with well-kept rooms offering amazing views and fresh towels.

The best thing about our stay was the amazing hospitality we received. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, always willing to cater to our needs. They even had their own tuk tuk service which was a great convenience for getting around. Additionally, the location was perfect - quiet and peaceful, right by the lake and just a short walk from the beach.

They were old and gave off a damp smell that was quite unpleasant. It would definitely benefit from being gutted and updated to match the beautiful outside area and pool.

This venue is located in a beautiful riverside setting near stunning gardens and offers exceptional views of the river.

We had a wonderful stay at this idyllic and relaxing hotel. the staff were attentive, the room was immaculate, and the pool area was stunning with beautiful views of the Bentota Ganga. the food and drinks were slightly pricier than other locations, but the quality was excellent. the hotel is slightly off the beaten track, but they offer a free boat service to the beach and town. the staff were always available to assist and provide recommendations. it was the perfect peaceful retreat. Cons: Can honestly say there wasn't anything not to like! 😊.

This hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. The value for money is exceptional, with reasonable prices for such a stunning location on the quiet riverfront. The attention to detail is evident throughout, from the service provided by the amazing staff to the basic amenities like fresh towels and well-furnished verandas. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, with beautiful views from the outside balconies overlooking the river. The patio by the pool is a great spot to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The breakfast is delicious and sets a perfect start to the day.

The only minor downside was the presence of mosquitos, but this is a common issue in this area.

I recently stayed at this hotel for 8 nights and I must say, it was a wonderful experience. The location is perfect, situated on a quiet river front away from the hustle and bustle of the main roads. The peaceful surroundings provided a relaxing atmosphere throughout my stay. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with a balcony overlooking the river. It was a delight to wake up to such a beautiful view every morning. The staff at this hotel deserves a special mention as they were extremely helpful and welcoming. They went out of their way to make sure my stay was memorable. The restaurant served delicious food, both local and European dishes, and everything was freshly prepared. The hotel also provided a boat to take guests across the river to explore the area, which was a unique experience. I highly recommend this hotel for its value for money, attention to detail, and its prime location on the quiet river front.

There was one minor drawback during my stay, but it didn't affect my overall enjoyment. The hotel's location is a bit secluded and the signage from the road could be improved.
