Residence Jasmine

Location is in front of river and amazing.

Room service and arrangements to serve the client.

Cet un établissement très bien placé : au bord de la lagune de Bentota, à 5mn de la plage (utilisation de bateau pour traverser la lagune), à proximité immédiate (2mn à pied) d'un supermarché, de KFC, de Pizza Hut, et à proximité également du centre ville d'Aluthgama.

Je n'ai pas apprécié le fait de ne pas pouvoir bénéficier d'un service de "bar" ou "petite restauration". L'établissement a pourtant une salle qui s'y prête (cuisine, etc) et la clientèle qui vient pour les activités nautiques. Une certaine nonchalance du personnel qui se contente uniquement de nettoyer le jardin, et qui regarde le matériel se dégrader...(comme dans énormément d'établissements Sri-Lankais)...

Die schöne Lage am Fluss. Die sauberen Zimmer.

Das Personal ( Küche ) war freundlich

Trotz zugesagtem früheren Check-In war zunächst niemand da. Erst nach mehrmaligem Hupen unseres Fahrers kam jemand. Das Zimmer war nicht wirklich sauber: tote Kakalake und benutzte Watterstäbchen im WC-Mülleimer, Schimmel im Bad, ungenügende Zimmerausstattung und Spinnweben. Wir waren mit 3 Personen nur knappe 6 Stunden im Hotel und mussten bei Abreise die Hälfte des Buchungspreises bezahlen. Haben bis heute keine ordentliche Rechnung erhalten.

Loved the place! It’s chilled out space, great views and very clean

We loved it all!

The main selling point for this place is its beautiful location - it's right on the river bank looking out towards paradise island and you can get a boat across to Bentota beach. There's a nice clean pool in the garden to cool off in too. Room was spacious and clean with ceiling fan and good a/c. Table and chairs outside on the terrace with views of the river. A simple breakfast of eggs toast and fruit is provided. However if you want evening meal, you have to order in advance. There aren't too many dining options nearby, unless you like KFC, Pizza Hut or Dominos! Plenty of restaurants further into town near the river or in Bentota itself.

As others have said, the beds are pretty hard. Being near to the river, there are quite a few mosquitoes about, but no net is provided over the bed. Contrary to info on Booking.com, they do not accept card payments - cash only. WiFi was a bit sketchy, but I was told that this was a temporary network problem in the area.

Côté familial de l'hôtel, sa proximité commerces et lac

Vétusté de l'ensemble sauf la piscine très bien entretenu

Kwan totaal niet overeen met de foto's en omschrijving. Via een smal weggetje waar amper een auto door kan rijden. Een soort van familie huis, absoluut geen hotel.

Très bon petit-déjeuner. Piscine et petit jardin en bord de rivière très agréable, mais parfois un peu de bruit.

Отличное место! Уютно и тихо! Если еще будем на Шри Ланке, то обязательно сюда приедем

Everything! The location is stunning, room big and clean.Wonderful family and all staff.The mangrove tour with Sammy was outstanding! Excellent breakfast too Thankyou all!

Nothing

Mooi gelegen aan de rivier. Zwembad, leuk terras om buiten te zitten.

Nothing

Kleines aber feines kleines Hotel, sehr ruhig am Fluss gelegen aber zur Hauptstraße keine 5 Minuten zu Fuß. Wir können dieses Hotel nur weiterempfehlen

Leider gibt es dort viele Mücken

Schön gelegene Anlage am Fluss mit eigenem Boots- und Wassersportverleih. Es gab einen Pool und jede Menge zu entdecken für die Kids.

Ruhige entspannte Atmosphäre. Sam hatte viele gute Tipps und arrangiert Bootsfahrten und Tuk tuk Touren z.B. zu einem Wasserfall oder zum Anwesen Brief des Stararchitekten Bawa. Übersetzen mit Boot zum einsamen Strand Bentota.

Moskitos

La piscine , grande chambre spacieuse , le petit déjeuner . Une bonne adresse avec des hôtes très sympathiques

Manque d’intimité quand l’établissement est trop fréquenté ce qui était le cas

Sehr freundliche und tolle Gastgeber. Nur zu empfehlen

Sehr schöne Unterkunft direkt am Fluß. Die schönste und sauberste die wir hatten.

Henkilökunta on todella mukavaa, veneretki joella oli tosi mukava, grilli ilta oli hieno, aamiainen oli hyvä, rauhallinen hotelli

Es war absolut traumhaft. Die Lage am Fluss, alle waren super freundlich und die Gastgeber sprechen super Deutsch. Wir haben uns sofort wie zu Hause gefühlt

Lovely people, beautiful view, very good breakfast, flexible with hours of stay

Nehir kıyısında olmasını çok sevdik.Ulasim sorunu yoktu .Tesis sahibi nehir turu ayarladı .Odamız yeterince buyuktu.Bir daha gelirsek bu tesiste kalırız.

Very nice reception We arrived very late but still a good reception from this family run private residence . Breakfast was very good My children enjoyed the water sports available at very reasonable prices Would visit again when in Sri Lanka

Only thing I didn’t like was the bed was a little too hard

Majitel byl velmi přátelský, se vším nám pomohl a jeho výlety byly super zážitek. Snídaně také moc dobré. moc jsme si to užili. a pokud se někdy vrátíme na Srí lanku určitě se ubytujeme v Jasmině.

Очень красивое место. Отзывчивый персонал. Хороший континентальный завтрак. Великолепный, чистейший бассейн. Приятная экскурсия на лодке по реке за 35 долларов. Рядом много магазинов и кафешек. На пляж возят по запросу на лодке.

Проблема с горячей водой в душе. Много комаров, надо брать с собой средство. Потом ещё не понравилось о великолепный бассейн

It has a wonderful atmosphere; it's lovely to watch the river all day and the sunset in the evening. The owner was very helpful, and it's close to everything – markets in 3 minutes, train station a 10-minute walk – and a fantastic breakfast.

Eine super Lage.. Sammy und sein Personal sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Die Bettlaken waren zu kurz.

Uns hat Alles gefallen, besonders die Fahrt in die Mangroven

The breakfast and the friendliness of the staff members. The site is fully worth the price.

The Ayurveda "hard" style .mattress of the first two nights and no-one told me about the possibility to change it. When I mentioned that, the staff changed it after the second night and everything was really fine.

Located at great place. Clean pool and rooms ac is working fine. Quite peaceful location. They provide boating tours with reasonable price.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great stay! We recently had the pleasure of staying at Residence Jasmine, and I can confidently say it was an incredible experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that made me feel right at home. 👍🙌🫶 The staff is truly exceptional, they are attentive, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure your stay is comfortable and enjoyable. They genuine care for their guests, and truly value the experience of every visitor. 🏖 The room was big, cozy and well-maintained. There is an AC, kettle and fridge. I highly recommend.

Best aspects were the location....on the river. Pool was a bonus.

A kettle/jug was provided...... but no cups or complimentary teabags or coffee. What was the point of the kettle..?? No hot water until the morning. Although a great location on the river, boat rides were on offer, which meant the garden {10 meters from the pool) was constantly busy with customers.

Nous avons passé une nuit dans cet hôtel. Le responsable ainsi que le personnel étaient vraiment très accueillants ! La chambre était spacieuse et vraiment propre. L’environnement était calme et apaisant. Pour ce qui est du petit déjeuner, c’était excellent et copieux. Nous recommandons !

Mini pool, but I am not sure it was chlorinated. However, very calm and quit place, we enjoyed.

Bed. Two beds joined and make it a one. Always two of us centered at the middle . It is not comfortable and requested for one king size beds for couple.

The owner and the staff were friendly and always ready for our service.The surrounding is beautiful with a pool and have river view rooms,and it have a car parking with lots of restaurants nearby.They provided a delicious breakfast too.

Everything was fine.

La piscine et le coucher de soleil étaient formidables.

L’établissement était vide quand nous sommes arrivés. Il n’y avait même pas de quoi acheter de l’eau en bouteille.

Eine tolle Unterkunft mit schönem Blick auf den Fluss. Zentral zum Supermarkt und Restaurants. Das Zimmer war sauber und geräumig. Frühstück war lecker und reichlich. Der Gastgeber war sehr freundlich und bemüht uns jeden Wunsch zu erfüllen (sei es ein Besuch mit dem Boot am Strand oder eine Bootssafari). Wir würden die Unterkunft auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen!

Lediglich ein Moskitonetz fehlt (wir hatten aber ein eigenes dabei, vielleicht hätte man auch noch eins vom Gastgeber bekommen können, wenn wir gefragt hätten, da er sehr zuvorkommend war!)

Very helpful & attentive host & staff,good breakfast,fabulous pool,also water frontage with various water sports available. Overall highly recommend. Mick & Margaret

A bit inconvenient with non acceptance of Efptos contrary to property policy.

The property was clean and the swimming pool was clean, it’s located on the river. The people that run this property are very kind and friendly, especially Ranji, he’s exceptional and the lady that does the Ayurveda treatment is also very good. The owners son, Dinesh does the river safari and his knowledge is excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed the river cruise. He took me to the beach and a restaurant on his boat. Also the breakfast was lovely.

The mosquitoes, coming from the river.

Location, room, swimming pool & grassy sunbathing area. Good breakfast. Boat ride to island

Mosquitoes & flies

Lovely family and good room on Bentota river. We loved the river cruise and couldn't have asked for more in our short 24 hour visit!

View and surrounding was great

The owners are so lovely. Very very kind and helpful.

No hot water in the shower

Pool adjacent to the river , friendly hosts

Room didnt have any tea coffee kettle , just a single charging point , too many mosquitoes so you are not able to sit outside .

lovely and relaxing place!

Mostly, the location is great. Owner and family they are very kind and helpful.

Nothing.

It was very good, especially we had the chance to see a creature like an iguana or a komodo around there.

nothing

We had a fantastic stay at Residence Jasmine. A beautiful quiet spot on the river. Our room was spotlessly clean and had a lovely hot shower. The breakfasts were excellent - lovely juices. The Wi-Fi worked very well. We had a wonderful boat trip from the hotel along the river and saw some incredible wildlife. The pool was lovely and also very clean.

Nothing!

Cleanliness, spacious room, good pool.

The actual facilities do not match the online description or reviews. Eg no restaurant, limited evening meal on request. Bar was coke or beer, no bottled water. Boat to the beach was not readily available. I walked via the town.

Location was nice right on the river and a short trip to different beach options and good food. The pool was really great! And friendly staff

I like firm beds but the beds were rock hard and my group all slept poorly on them.

the pool is ok. river bank location is fine. breakfast is good, but poor.

all ok

Great family run place. Clean and met all our needs. Lovely fresh breakfast. Make sure to arrange a boat lagoon cruise with them. It was a fantastic experience. Higly Recommend. We also recommend their Ayurvedic center, had 2 great procedures. Thank You Residence Jasmine!

Super friendly ad helpful family run business. Anything you needed was no trouble. Lovey Riverside location close to amenities. Quiet backwater.

Maybe little things like a bin in the room, bathroom mat, cups and glasses. However, provided when asked for.

Massage . Nimesh, the younger owner fantastic. The beach was breathtaking

The elderly owner was arrogant and drank too much.

Riverview-> tour in the mangrove. Breakfast was okay. Accommodation was clean.

Too much noise (music) in the evening. Hard mattress and mosquito net didn’t fit the bed easily.

We loved our stay at Residence Jasmine and were very well looked after for the duration. We had a great time kayaking over to Bentota beach, waterskiing (in the rain!) and relaxing by the pool. Breakfast was the only meal we had during our stay but was very good so have no doubt that other meals would be of a similar standard

Everything! Especially the location next to the river and the free use of the Canoe was great for giving a shortcut to Bentota beach.

Very friendly hosts.

Nothing to dislike.

Everything!! It was perfect

Nothing:)

The family was very nice, friendly and helpful, the room was clean, the pool looked great, the view is beautiful and they speak very good German :D

The bed was very hard (that might appeal to others but it was too hard for me), there was no trash bin in the room, it looked a bit untidy in the common areas.

So gozy! Wonderful family run hotel. We had 10 meters from bed to the pool. Best was the people, everything could arrange.

What a stunning place. Run by a beautiful family. So relaxed. Rooms great spotless. Food perfect, family as you expect in Sri Lanka so pleasant and welcoming. Took the opportunity to have a river safari which was brilliant sammy water sports 10 out of 10. So knowledgeable. Overall accommodation 10 out of 10. We will be back hopefully when the moon is full and the fishing is good.

Nothing everything was as expected. Thanks again.

Nice family run place, friendly helpfull owners. Lovely swimming pool.

Wifi not very good, no mosquito net

They where very kind to advice us about angling and offered a nice boat trip in the river to catch some fish. It is a very nice family place. Can recommend this place very much.

Large room with confy bed. The staff could not be more helpful. We ate in one night and it was very tasty inseed.went on a vever afari, it was awesome. Thevpool was clean and a good size..

We only booked for 3 nights. Would have liked to stay longer.

Good location. Friemdly staff.

But no toiletries and etc. No resturent

We enjoyed great breakfast (fresh juice, eggs, toasts, fruits and delicious coffee), clean pool, comfortable room, 2 minutes boat-ride to the beach and the most precious "feels like home" atmosphere! So grateful for such a warm welcome and help of Nimesh, Dinu and Dimesh. Wish you all the best! Daria&Pavel&Anastasiia

Received a good English breakfast. Our rooms are cleaned and opposite to the swimming pool. property owner is very friendly and flexible. went for a nice boat ride for a reasonable price.

Road to the place is little bit narrow but since there are no vehicle we have mange the travel.
