Little Paradise!!
This hotel has breakfast included (verry good) it is walking distance to the most beautiful beach I've seen so far no river to cross nothing. The train station Bentota is 50 metres away next to Coco's restaurant for fresh fish and cold beer ! Staying a few days here is a must !

Absolutely perfect in every way. Great value for money. Beautiful view from our balcony over the lovely swimming pool. Breakfast was massive! Abu was really helpful. He also picked us up from the airport, and drove us to Hillary’s via a turtle hatchery and a boat trip on the River Madu. I would definitely recommend him as a driver if you’re looking for someone reliable.

Es ist ein wenig in die Jahre gekommen.
Die Zimmer sind okay aber man sieht das Alter.
Die Betreiber sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Einzig das Frühstück ist eintönig. Es gab immer Früchte, Toastbrot und Omelett. Einmal in 14 gab es Sri Lanka Frühstück.

Large rooms in a quiet location
Big bedroom with a separate living room and a sitting area outside the room/in the corridor.
Breakfast was good, except that they could have served butter cut out for each guest instead of letting guests take butter (actually it was margarine) l from the original package with the same knife used for eating.
Negative side: shower has no pressure; it drizzles. The mattress is not very comfortable. Noise from neighbouring guests sitting outside the room may be disturbing, especially guests who like dragging heavy wooden chairs days and nights.

A nice hotel if it wasn't half abandoned
The hotel was not properly maintained. The room was spacious and kind of nice, but the bathroom was not very clean and looked very dated. There was only one member of the staff and not easily found when needed. We had to wonder around the property for 20 minutes trying to find him and call a phone number written at the entrance of the hotel to get our breakfast. The outdoor area where we had breakfast was super dirty. It is a pity because if the property was properly taken care of, it would be a really nice accommodation. It just needs better maintenance and cleaning.

VARNING KATASTROFALT DÅLIGT
VARNING: Bilderna överänsstämmer inte med verkligheten. Skitiga rum, taket läkte in, dusch och toa fungerade dåligt, poolen var grön av alger, utemöblerna var grymt skitiga. Jag kom kl 2 på natten så jag hade inget väl än att stanna till morgonen. Lämnade hotellet kl 7 på morgonen. Det här ska man inte betala för
Det värsta hotellet jag sett!

Tired and rundown rooms. The breakfast in the morning redeemed it. It was amazing with fresh fruit, coffee/tea and eggs on toast.

Good budget option
The staff are great! The breakfast is good. The pool is a bonus. The location is not great but away from the hustle and bustle and within easy walking distance of the beach,railway station, shops and restaurants. I can recommend this hotel with a clear conscience.
