幫託塔水邊酒店(Waterside Bentota)

I can't speak highly enough of the staff here. They made us feel so welcome, and nothing was too much trouble. Amila even went to the liquor store on our behalf to buy us some beer and Saman lent us his own money to pay the bill for our lunch when he came to collect us because the restaurant didn't take credit cards! It's not possible to walk to the beach from here, but there was always someone to take us there and back in a tuk tuk, and the area was so much more peaceful than the beach area, in fact it was totally quiet at night. Finally: the hotel does the BEST curry - you get a whole banquet when you order it! Thank you all for a lovely 6 days.

We stayed for one night and were well looked after by Amila and the team. The hotel rooms were big and comfortable with lovely views over the pool and river. As we were heading off early on a bike ride, Amila was up early with toast and coffee to get us on our way. We will be back.

This is a small hotel by the charming Bentota river. A calm place to stay. Environment is very magnificent. We had a boat ride in this river. Through these mangroves. It was an unforgettable experience. The service is excellent. Price is valuable.

We stumbled upon this hidden gem of a restaurant as we were staying at a nearby accommodation which didn’t offer dinner. We ended up eating there 7 nights in a row. They have a professional kitchen with a dedicated chef. The meals are prepared with care and are absolutely delicious. And, they do their best to accommodate any requests. One gets a great meal at a reasonable price for the area. The chef and the serving staff are truly fantastic… I highly recommend this place. It might be a bit out of the way but you won’t be disappointed.

Fabulous hotel in a beautiful location. The staff can’t do enough for you. The food was delicious and the pool was lovely. We took the boat to the beach which was clean and perfect. We also had an early morning boat trip with Saman who took us around the river to see the wildlife. A little slice of paradise

Loved our stay at this small boutique hotel on the banks of the Bentota river. The rooms are spacious with air conditioning, comfortable large bed and lovely balcony overlooking the pool, garden and river. The staff are friendly and attentive. The outdoor eating area is lovely too, the food is great and incredible value. There’s a free boat service to Bentota beach which is a gorgeous long dandy beach with sun loungers available to rent. Highly recommend a visit to this hotel

Spent three very relaxing days here. Room nice and spacious, not luxury but very decent. Beautiful riverside setting. Good food served by helpful staff. Good value all round. Nice feature is the boat ride to the beach, and we enjoyed the riverside cruise too.

We made 1 night in this hotel and it was wonderull !! The room, the swiming pool the garden, all were perfect. And we particulary enjoyed the diner cooked by Mister SAMAN which his rice and curry was incredible! I recommend

First I would like to give feedback about the staff. The moment our car arrived there were people to welcome us. This was a great experience. This hotel has 6 Villas. Villas are exactly located opposite to the Bentota river. There is a beautiful but medium sized swimming pool sufficient for the guests staying here. Nuvaan is one guy who treated us really well. Another couple of guys who gave great hospitality. Even the owner of the property Kamal met us during our breakfast time to see if everything was fine. Staff were very friendly and asked us what to prepare for Breakfast and Dinner. Overall I enjoyed the Service here. Room: View is very good. In-room view is also very neat. However some essential stuff like Coffee maker, Kettle are not kept. I advise owners to arrange this. And the hair dryer, Iron box should also be given too. Since there is no screen between the shower and the washbasin the floor might get wet soon. So I advised the management to take care of this. Any more suggestions: When staff asked for dinner we asked for something which can be eaten with drinks. But later they added this to our bill saying this was not part of the package. This disappointed us. Water can be provided even from the filter as well. So anything provided additionally, better inform the guests about it. We felt bad as we asked the staff to prepare fewer items for Dinner and breakfast to save their time/money. But shocked to see they charged for a small dish prepared even though this was part of dinner. When Visitors are paying a big amount for the stay which includes Dinner and breakfast It is also important to provide water and the dishes with no extra cost. This is my honest opinion. So I am reducing one star! Let the management learn the importance of some small things. Otherwise I am fine to recommend this to anyone who wants to stay.
