A family business run by Himmel. The property sits right next to Bentota Lagoon. There is a daily shuttle to and from the beach. The accommodation is in a block of two floors. The rooms are clean and spacious with plenty of storage space and a large furnished patio or balcony overlooking the pool and lagoon. The rooms are kept very clean by very friendly staff. Breakfast is plentiful with a good choice. Himmel also runs a travel firm called Zeus Travel which provides transport to where ever you want to go. We gave him a list of places we wanted to see and he worked out an itinerary of day trips for us. He also acted as guide and came with us on each trip. The result was highly professional excursions on which we had a fabulous time. Overall we had a fantastic 10 days holiday with Himmel, his family and staff and the Lagoon Bentota comes highly recommended for a true Sri Lankan experience.

The location is amazing, you will get an authentic bentota experience here. Most of all the hotel is run like a family, we were taken cared of as soon as we landed, the team there helped us plan everything and take us around bentota. The food they serve was delicious, i really liked the breakfast! And we had an amazing personal tour of the lagoon on the boat safari, where we fed monkeys, saw crocs and even held a baby croc! This was a once in a lifetime trip! I reccomend staying here if you want great value for money and great service!

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans cet hôtel. Très bon petit déjeuner, ils peuvent ajuster les aliments selon vos goûts. Une belle piscine avec vue sur le fleuve. Possibilité de faire une excursion en bateau. À la nuit tombée, vous pouvez assister au passage de centaines de chauve souris, c'était magnifique.

One of the best places I have been to!

I felt welcomed from the second I arrived to the hotel. The staff was so friendly and gave me absolutely perfect service! My room was spaceful and fresh, the AC was good and the bed was comfortable. The pool and the surrondings at the hotel was absolutley amazing, the Bentota river was just next to the hotel and it was a very beautiful and relaxing area. I ate both breakfast and dinner there and it was very good food! The staff also helped me to organize a boat tour (recommend!) and took me to a turtle rescue center (so nice experience). I am 100% satisfied and wished I could have stayed longer. I hope to come back very soon!

Big rm, simple furnishing. 2 or 3 stars standard but u pay for this standard anyway. Highlight was the boat safari wh Lucky personally took us n his determination to show us crocodiles + birds+ bats etc.. He tried his best. We had 4 croc sightings. Adv of staying in Guest hses is the personal attention n relationship with the owner n his family. Add colors to our travel

Bargain stay in Bentota

Beautiful location and really quite stylish rooms. Pool is small, but adequate. Staff are warm and helpful. Restaurant on site, but various places to eat within a short three wheeler ride. Breakfast was good so would assume food (though a little more expensive than bars/restaurants) is of a good quality. The views of lagoon are really outstanding.

Wunderbarer Platz zum Erholen

Etwas abseits direkt an der Lagune gelegen mit Pool und Liegen gleich am Wasser. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Beeindruckend für uns war der Besuch in den zwei Tempeln in der Umgebung, zu denen uns ein Mitarbeiter führte. Nach 10 Tagen Rundreise war dies genau der richtige Ort, um uns zu erholen.

Mon coup de coeur au Sri Lanka

Établissement exceptionnel, mon coup de coeur au Sri Lanka.Très belle chambre avec terrasse, jolie piscine avec vue sur le lagoon, calme,idéal pour se reposer. Le personnel est professionnel. Rien à redire on se sent comme à la maison. Le seul défaut est que l'on voudrait garder cet endroit paradisiaque pour nous.
