Ocean View

Very pleasant stay. Definitely worth the money. Right next to a lovely beach. Only downside was the railway line, but not put off by it. Would stay again.

It is poorly managed and run down place. Pro - Beach is 200m away after crossing open train tracks. Cons - Run down old house - next to the train tracks (last train at midnight and the first at 3am) the whole room will vibrate with noise. - consistent power cuts and they dont have back up power source ( temp was around 32c) - There was no AC remote in the room and was made to pay UDS 10 to get the remote or you can burn in the heat. You could open the wimdow and loose all the privacy and let all the mosquitos in. - Ripped bed sheets, no towels, no toiletries, no water or cups, no blanket or quilt. - cockroach in bathroom and insects on the bed. - no lights around this place at night so ensure you take flash light. - The restaurant shown in picture is actully next door a diffrent business which is highly over prices and had really bad quality food. (In LKR - juice 500, dry ans cheap fish and chips 1800, fried rice with cheap and dry fish 1800, long island tea 1600) - No one ever at reception.. Visited over 25 countries I would say it was very poor experince and not worth it all. You can book proper hotel or home stay in Bentota and come to beach as they are public beach. You wornt be able to see the beach from thre room amyway due to high coconut ans palm trees.

Hotel rooms are small & congested. No basic amenities like Tea kettle,tea coffee pouches glass to drink water,bathroom toiletries etc.No AC in room.website silent about AC facilities. No intercom in room.No person available for any service.Reception is far away and most of the time no staff present on seat.Mosquitoes bite big problem in rooms.Most abusive on internet feedback. I stayed three nights with most disappointing experience. Although I paid 70 pounds in advance. Bad situation for Indian tourists.

Requirement of snacks is need of an hour. As per house keeper the need to base food item is stored.

We stayed two nights at ocean view. The room was ok, but we saw big cockroach in the bathroom and we were so scared. The train runs every morning from 4 o’clock I think. The train track is right outside the „door“. So it was too noisy, I had to close my kids ears, it’s not just loud but hurting the ears. I won’t recommend people with small kids to stay there. The beach is just 200 meters away.

Very nice place for 2 star hotel.. Location is superb. Very close to the beach walking distance just outsides rooms. Breakfast served was really good like 4 stars.

Lovely friendly staff, helpful and prepared to arrange trips etc for you much cheaper than people on beach. Lovely beach stin a throw from hotel.

very basic rooms, no hot water in the shower. Had a cockroach in our room that got in our bags. Also the hotel is right on the train tracks which run every hour on the half hour through the night. My partner got very little sleep.

Quick. Took the river/lagoon trip for 2 hours. Fine for a short stay.

It was value for money A very comfortable bed Very helpful staff made a very good breakfast

The host here is very professional and does his best to be certain guests have everything they need during their stay. The room was ideal for me: lots of space, a desk, dresser, large mirror, clean floors and clean linens marked with a beautiful, fresh flower signature. There are two doors, one that opens into the room and one that opens to a shared balcony. The balcony is clean and equipped with clean and well-kept patio furniture. An awesome rain began upon my arrival, so the weather was cool and the ceiling fan was perfect for circulating air and keeping it cool. Overall, specific attention to cleanliness and the quality of practical simplicity earned my favor. Ocean view is a great value!

Location is perfect. Staff is very friendly and help me with everything. Breakfast was amazing. Hotel has nice excursions for very cheaper price. I will come back soon. I love my stay here at Ocean View.

The room is big and comfortable with a big shared balcony with some reclining chairs and tables. This room is not an ocean view and is actually in a different property about 60 metres from the main one. The room is not so close to theach beach as the pictures would have you believe it's actually about 200 meters walk and crossing the railway line. WiFi was decent. The restaurant food pretty overpriced especially breakfast.

It's close to the beach so that's a plus. There are train tracks right next to it so every time a train passes, the entire hotel can hear it. We booked the place for two nights - but we realised that there is nothing to do in Bentota (it's a resort town perfect for honeymooners, not backpackers). We told of our dilemma along with the problems with our flight departure timings and the lovely person at the reception helped us shorten our stay - which was really kind of him! The rooms were clean and the bath had hot water.

A lovely welcome was received on our arrival by Sakun and Team. Key pieces of information provided which was most useful about the area, the people and Sri Lankan greetings. The room was perfect in size for what we needed and plenty of space on the balcony to relax. The hotel is well looked after and clean. The team could not do enough for us and we were made very welcome. During our stay in Bentota we visited two temples, the turtle hatchery, sailed along on the river boat cruise and a tea shop. Sakun helped us daily with travel advice for the bus and train services, this helped us explore Kandy, Colombo and the beautiful beaches like Marissa. Thanks to Sakun and team for our lovely trip to Bentota !

mixed feelings the host was super nice and the breakfast amazing..the location was next to the beach..the were cockroaches in the bathroom and in the bedroom...

Lovely welcoming, taking through to a beautiful room with a view of the sea :) right next to railway, which is great for us as we love the trains in Sri Lanka! No problem being kept awake by them... great access to the beach, easy to get to local town with cash machine, shops and train station and easy to get to airport from.

Wonderful place; not pathetic, but cozy and very comfortable. Delightful staff; an example of friendliness, kindness and desire to help with any questions. The kitchen is excellent. Fruit and seafood ; always the freshest. Tea, coffee; beyond praise. The restaurant is all well thought out and well-groomed, good dishes, clean tablecloths. Staff efficient and polite, not intrusive. They have the best massage ever.

A great hotel where we stayed the first days after arriving in Sri Lanka. The host gave us a very warm welcome and did everything to make our stay as pleasant as possible. It's close to the beach and the view from the breakfast is amazing. A very good place to start your trip in Sri Lanka. We had our lunch and dinner on site restaurant. Food was amazing. I highly recommend this place for everyone.

We were very warmly welcomed by the reception, and shown to our lovely, large, clean and breezy. The garden around the building is super pretty, and the walk down to breakfast (with the most gorgeous view) is only about 30 seconds. The beach is beautiful to swim in, and the hotel has sun beds available for free. If you order the day before, you can get yummy Sri Lankan breakfast, instead of the usual white bread and jam (but the toast was actually warm and toasted, so it's not bad anyway!). Also, we had a great big balcony that was nice to chill out on, which included a clothes line for wet bathers. If you try for the massage; prices are so cheap and you will get the sri lankan best massage. I highly recommended this place to everyone
