Hotel vacation rentals in Bentota

Cheap. Nice location. Comfy big bed. Room smelt a bit damp is only drawback. Good shower. Good location.

This was genuinely one of our favourite places in all of Sri Lanka. Incredibly peaceful and beautiful with a stunning view of the lake and just the sounds of nature. The room is very luxurious, from the big comfy bed to the beautiful bathroom with a hot waterfall shower, it was perfect! Madhu’s hospitality was expectional, we were so well taken care of and felt at home right away! We had dinner on the terrace by the lake both nights and it was the most delicious and varied local food we’ve had! The breakfast was also fantastic! One of the highlights was when Madhu offered for us to borrow her paddleboard of the lake where we went round the lagoon at sunset and saw lots of widlife! A truly exceptional place, would definitely recommend!!

The stay with Igor and Michele was just nice. It is quietly located, the pool and the many seating areas invite you to relax. We had breakfast together and the whole atmosphere was super friendly and familiar. We would definitely come back and recommend it 100%.

I stayed at the place for a week and was very happy with everything and can and will recommend it. You have a wonderful view and are surrounded by nature, you can hear the chirping of birds and you can smell the smell of cinnamon and relax in peace. You have a spacious shared kitchen where you can cook at any time including dining area. Since I am dependent on good and stable internalers due to my online business, I was very pleased that the internet was sufficient for this. The contact with the host family was very warm and you feel welcome and everything is done to help you and the food was fantastic. Thank you very much for everything, I will be back.

Located a 2-minute walk from the beach, and 5 minutes from a charming and lively street at night, this family is very welcoming and warm. Will always be there to help, and to make sure everything is okay. We even got a gesture from them at the end of our stay. I highly recommend it!

At first - super fast communication with host. It makes everything much easier! Thanks for that. Everything was good at the end, just a little minus - when we arrived at evening pool was dirty. Also on next morning there was varan (big lizard) swimming - but our kids will say that it’s a plus :)) After we asked about the pool it was immediately cleaned. Room was nice and clean. Breakfast was really great. We recommend this place! No worries about the pool we swim and everything was good :)) Beautiful view!

You will find a little whisper of magic in the middle of nowhere with this lovely house that Svava and her husband own ... each nook and cranny has a beautiful story to tell and if you happen to run into the hosts (as we fortunately happened to) they will tell you about the stories behind the elements of the house that they designed and built (So you can image the amount of love that has gone into this place)...Svava was super prompt and proactive with suggestions, tips and helped us out with our transportation as well. Please do not expect to find the luxuries & amenities of a chain hotel or resort - expect a lovely experience that lets you completely detach from your normal routine and be transported into their world & you will go back with your soul feeling like it just took a spa day :) ... it is a little cut off from the hustle and bustle of the Main Street and tourists - so you will have to use the tuk tuk to get anywhere. We wish we had more time to explore the areas around the place!

Everything was great, 5 minutes walk to a very quiet stretch of beach and definitely walking distance from all the bars and restaurants in Hikkaduwa. The staff also organised a delightful lunch in a neighbouring home, they very sweet and the food was delicious! I would definitely stay here again!

We had the most incredible holistic stay at Margaret's place. The space's highlight has to be the wonderful staff (Thushari, Uday and Chinta); they were lovely and made us feel right at home. While my friend and I did most of the cooking, Margaret ensured we had all the kitchen amenities, shared the spices/groceries/fruit and made some amazing avocado cream dessert for us. A side note: The AC was installed in my room after three nights, but it wasn't too much of an inconvenience because the property is quite breezy. For digital nomads/remote workers, the internet wasn't working well during our time, so I would check with Margaret if it has been repaired. For finding the place, the Airbnb location on the GPS isn't right. So manually put "Emels Retreat by Tropical Magnum," and it will bring you right to the door. All in all, I would definitely recommend staying at Emels. Margaret has created a beautiful, safe haven in Boossa, a great place to escape, swim, relax and rejuvenate.

This place is so beautiful and looks just like the photos! It’s right on the beach and the the sound of waves is just so beautiful! You wake up to the most amazing view from your bedroom. Totally reccomend it. It’s on the main road and very easy to find. You can walk to the local markets and restaurants or take a tuk tuk. Will surely come back again!

Such a gorgeous resort and hidden gem! Our room was clean and very comfortable, with a huge bed and large open shower. We stayed in many places in Sri Lanka but this was definitely one of our tops - wish we could’ve stayed longer! Food was also really nice, and very easy check in and check out process.

Rajive's place is incredible! It is on the lake rather than the beach, just about a 5 minute tuk tuk ride to the beach. The lake is so serene and private, away from the hustle bustle of the main hotel drag. The house is beautiful - well appointed, sparkling clean, great pool, and beautiful views. There are only a few rooms and they are all lovely. We stayed in the Junior Suite which was spacious, clean, and had a great view of the lake. The staff working at the property were excellent - the manager, assistant and chef. All were so attentive. The food was amazing! The chef made whatever we wanted, just ran to the market to get it and was so fresh and delicious. We had beautiful fresh lobster and jumbo prawns two days in a row for lunch. We went fishing on the lake which my husband really enjoyed and then the chef fried up the mullets we caught. Wish we could have stayed longer and strongly recommend it to those visiting Hikkaduwa! In Hikkaduwa do not miss the huge turtles at the beach - it was so fun to feed them seaweed and see them in the ocean :)

Nice host/hotel. Liked the seaview and the pool, rooftop terrace and high bunk bed. We where given a complementary 2½ hour late check out. Excellent. A few power cuts (not the hotels fault) and some outside music hear 2 out of 6 nights. We had to pay extra (4 €/night) for a minibar/fridge.

what a place to stay! Such a peaceful spot close to some great surf spots with a ton of great food recommendations provided by Harriëtte. Really great place to relax with great breakfasts every morning. Easy to get to Weligama or Ahangama by bus or Tuktuk. Highly recommend!

The place is beautiful and the location is super quiet and private. We felt right at home. Berni and Prabath were very nice, accommodating and always easily accessible. They also organized the transfer from the airport and a scooter directly for us. Thank you so much for a great stay, we would definitely come again!

Perfect accommodation in Hikkaduwa. This place is quiet and the views are incredible. Area around pool is now more overgrown than in the picture. Our host was very helpful.

Great quaint little hotel, we had the place to ourselves and very child friendly. Staff were very attentive and ordered us breakfast and gave us great advice on local attractions.

Staying at Lakmali's place in Runakanda Forest is definitely one of my top 5 favorite places in Sri Lanka. I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to stay there, especially with my mom, as it was her first time in Sri Lanka,and she absolutely loved every moment of it! The food was beyond incredible! Each meal was showcasing the rich and flavorful Sri Lankan cuisine. The peaceful and serene surroundings of the forest made it the perfect escape. It’s a truly tranquil place where we could relax, and the location was just ideal for enjoying authentic local experiences. We had the chance to pick tea just a short walk away from the cottage, a unique experience that we’ll never forget. We also had the pleasure of meeting wonderful people, and the warm hospitality made our stay feel special. My mom and I both agreed that it was a stay we’ll cherish forever. I can’t recommend Lakmali’s place highly enough for anyone looking for a peaceful, authentic, and unforgettable experience in SL !

Was a very nice stay, we enjoyed the villa, pool, common aera with our baby of 14months. Was perfect for us 😍

Very cozy boutique hotel, located slightly away from the center, but only 3-5 minutes by bike, and I was extremely comfortable spending time there Klim is very helpful with any questions and I enjoyed working with him Wish you all the best

An absolute life saver for our small family. We even extended our stay by a few extra days. What Dom and Magda have created and built in Ahangama is a testament to their capabilities as a family and couple. They have achieved a level of comfort and detail that is incredibly hard to reach. They have designed a huge villa around the needs of young families with various suites and rooms that tick every box. They are also excellent hosts never too tired to help out and give advice or recommendations. Bravo guys 10/10 and we wish you every success for the future.

We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Jungle. We stayed almost 3 weeks. The rooms are classy, the view is amazing, and the location is convenient to all the shops. the staff are professional and very polite and helpful. The sand on the beach is lovely, light, and soft to walk on. The ocean here has fantastic bug eaves you can watch. Its fun to wade in but dangerous to swim a lot of the time. Great for boogie boarding. The food was great and the restaurant service was impeccable.. thank you to all the wonderful staff for allowing us to feel right at home.

I recently stayed at a stunning villa in Weligama, Sri Lanka, booked through Airbnb, and it was an exceptional experience for my family and me. The villa was spacious, beautifully designed, and equipped with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The bedrooms were cozy and clean, and the common areas offered plenty of room for our two children to play and relax. One of the standout aspects of our stay was the warm hospitality of the hosts. The host’s wife greeted us with a smile and served us the most delicious morning tea with milk . The villa is located in a very peaceful and quiet area, away from the hustle and bustle, making it the perfect retreat for families seeking tranquility. The environment felt safe and welcoming, and we appreciated how baby- and family-friendly the space was I highly recommend this villa to anyone visiting Weligama

Great place to stay for long time. Reasonable prices and value for money. Super clean rooms and swimming pool. Owner Lakshitha is nice and super helpful. The kitchen is eqiuped with all the items to cook by ourselfes. The breakfast from the shanthi boutique villa was more than expexted. Overall a super experience. Love to stay more on this place.
