If you are looking for a small and friendly hotel with 5* service this is the place to stay in Bentota. Nemal and his team go out of their way to make you welcome and comfortable. The rooms are clean and spacious with air conditioning, t.v, kettle and a fridge. The hotel is set alongside the mangroves where you can sit and watch Nemal feed the water monitors who visit the grounds daily. This is the third time we have stayed here and we are greeted like family. Our wedding anniversary was whilst we were there this time and we were surprised with cake and our room was decorated with flowers and balloons. The food is a mixture of Sri Lankan and western but whatever you want to eat, Nemal will do his best that you have it. Thanks Nemal and all your team for a fantastic holiday and we look forward to seeing you again.

If you are looking for a silent location to relax and recover, like we did, than here you are absolutely at the best place. I loved the room and the big balcony in front and often I were just looking to the lagoon, the birds and the blooming garden. The infinity pool with the built-in whirlpool was absolutely great. The people who manage the facility are so lovely and helpful. The breakfast and all what we ordered in addition was fresh and tasty. The Bentota beach is not far. We walked 20 minutes but than preferred to go by tuk tuk. Anyway, because we are not so much the beach people we mostly liked to stay in this little paradise. Actually we wanted to stay for 3 nights but finally stayed 6. We will never forget this place.

We are about to spend our last night here after six nights, and I’d like to share my excitement. An excellent hotel with even better service and amazing food. I’ve never experienced such helpful people at a hotel before, it almost felt surreal at first. The location by the river is perfect, the pool is sufficient, and occasionally a monitor lizard, kingfisher, or other local wildlife will show up in the garden. If you’re in the mood for the beach, the kind Upul will gladly take you there by tuk-tuk. Combined with Luba Tours, it’s the perfect choice

This is the second time we have stayed at this hotel and we was not disappointed. It is a family run hotel situated on the lagoon and you get to see lots of wildlife whilst there. The owner Nemal feeds the monitor lizard daily, which is amazing to watch. The rooms are clean and are very spacious. Food was very good. Nemal and his team do a great job of looking after you and nothing is too much trouble for them. If you are visiting Bentota, we highly recommend staying at the Lagoon.

The best hotel in Sri Lanka we stayed in.
It's situated in a very quiet, beautiful place.
All the rooms are very clean and well-kept. Among other things there are closets with coat hangers, a safe for valuables, mini-bar and either a terrace or balcony.
The service was perfect and every employee was very pleasant and helpful. Whenever you had a wish they would fulfill them right away.
They even help when planning a trip and provide you with a guide and driver, for example a safari on the nearby river or a trip to one of the tea plantations.
The traditional cuisine was magnificent and made from fresh ingredients every day. They can cook whatever you imagine on your request.

When we come to Sri Lanka again, we will definitely stay at this hotel.

Beautiful place to stay right at the Bentota river. Rooms are big and clean. All have a terrace or balcony which look over the lake. Breakfast is good and in the evening you can eat nice traditional food. Staff is friendly and helpfull. Perfect place for relaxation with a nice swimmingpool.

The warmest welcome at this lovely family run hotel, after a very disrupted trip from the UK. Kind staff, gorgeous food and a well sized family room awaited us after we were delayed by 8 hours on the journey from Birmingham. Sadly we did not get to use the pool but the setting was beautiful, with lovely flowers and wildlife (including a water monitor lizard - seen from a distance on the lawn below our balcony overlooking the pool.) The breakfast the next day was delicious including coconut pancakes and tropical fruit. They also got me a birthday cake for after breakfast which was served on a little table next to the river. Very sad we had so little time there but I would thoroughly recommend this hotel.

This place is in one word fantastic. A small cosy hotel on the riverbanks just next the mongroves, only two km from the beach. The family who owns this place, and their employees are very friendly. You feel at home from the fist second. Just look out of your balcony and you see all kind of birds and animals passing by, with the monitor lizards living in the backyard, next to the pool! Although not having exclusive rooms, just the better standard, this is certainly the best holiday place I experienced.

I stayed here for my first few nights in Sri Lanka before I made my way further south. It’s a lovely guesthouse with a beautiful garden overlooking the lagoon. Large monitor lizards causally stroll around which is a cool thing to see!

The rooms are clean and spacious, breakfast is a good mix of local and western food, the staff are lovely people, and the manager Himalsha does a great job running the place. He even drove me to and from the local town on the back of his moped, and arranged taxis for me when needed.

I also recommend doing the boat safari, which leaves from the garden and takes you around the mangroves.

Overall a very comfortable stay, good value for money, and friendly people. A good first stop before heading further down the coast!
