Aayu's Guest

Very friendly and helpful staff. Fabulous room and breakfast. Near railway station and beach.

Nothing

Clean room and a very nice bathroom. The host was awesome and friendly. Breakfast beyond good

Perfect location, lovely, helpful host. Very good breakfast.

Not very good wi-fi, apart from breakfast tables, no where to sit outside of your room

Everything

It is a beautiful place, gorgeously covered in greenery and close to the beach, great restaurants and yet,close to town. The resident dog is quite the nicest animal and makes all pet parents feel totally at home.

Absolutely nothing

Aayu is a very kind host. She helped us with everything we needed during our stay. Breakfast is beautiful, and the location with the beach within a short walk is also perfect.

We were warmly welcomed and felt completely at home at Aayu’s Guest House. Our room was very clean and comfortable and we enjoyed having a little covered balcony from which to watch the birds. The location is in a quiet neighbourhood very close to a beautiful beach which is clean, uncrowded, and stretching for miles. Best of all, our host Aayu was lovely and helpful and prepared breakfasts each morning which were spectacular. We will definitely return.

No complaints at all.

Beautiful, large and immaculate bedroom with lovely en-suite. The owner was wonderful, organising a Mangrove safari, recommending excellent authentic restaurants and booking very reasonable transportation. Breakfast was amazing. Location was superb for Ventura Beach, ATM, Cargills etc…

Wonderful stay to end my month in Sri Lanka. The property was awesome with nice patio area to sit in evenings and breakfast. Room was VERY clean and they offered to clean room during stay. Bedding, towels, etc. were very nice. AC very cold and shower warm which is great. The best part of stay was the breakfast. Thilini makes a beautiful breakfast every morning with beautiful fruit plate, hot fresh cooked eggs, toast, and Sri Lankan traditional items as well. Hospitality was incredible. For example one day I was working on my upcoming travel plans and she just made me a bit of lunch which was unexpected and greatly appreciated. They also arranged for my laundry to be done at reasonable price so my bag was full of clean clothes for next stop. Location very convenient and walkable in minutes to beach, restaurants, train station (VERY handy if you want to go somewhere else like I went to Colombo for day to tour city).

No negatives, everything was awesome.

It was clean, comfortable and the breakfast was really good. But most of all Aayu is such a delightful person. Generous and funny

Очень милая хозяйка, всегда готова помочь, подсказать. Вкусные завтраки. Всё по-домашнему. Близко ж/д станция, пляж также в пешей доступности.

Бентота в целом тихое место, если вам нужны развлечения 24/7, вечеринки с диджеями, вам точно не сюда.

clean comfortable room, generous breakfast and friendly host.

not much, it was a fantastic stay

Such a lovely place. The room was very comfortable and clean with air con, hot water and fridge. To the front of the room is a beautiful terrace with lots of plants where you eat breakfast. Breakfast was great - fresh fruit, eggs and toast each morning. The location was perfect - just 5 mins to the beach, very close to the train station and nice restaurants. Aayu was a great host. Very attentive, organising our laundry, river safari and offering guidance on where to go. The best value accommodation we stayed in Sri Lanka. Thank you so much for a lovely stay

Nothing

The room was spacious and clean. Great breakfast and a lovely host , who was very helpful arranging transport for us, really lovely lady. Good location for Bentota. Would definitely recommend this accomodation.

Nothing to dislike

Aayu was super friendly, providing us with all kinds of information we needed. The breakfast was fresh with a big selection of fruits, along with yoghurt, toasts, sausage and eggs and delicious homemade cake! Very close to the beach, clean facilities and a cute teddybear-like watchdog! Will always come back to this place when near Bentota!

We had a lovely stay at Aayu’s property. Room was clean and comfortable. Location a short walk to the beach and some restaurants. Aayu was a wonderful host and made an amazing breakfast for us. We would recommend staying here.

Lovely B&B with excellent hosts.

Aayu was so friendly and helpful! Breakfast was delicious. Very clean and great location.

Could use a plug in mosquito repellent in the rooms.

Lovely friendly host, provided me with everything I needed. nothig was too much trouble. Fantastic breakfast.

Better pillows and a spare blanket within the room

Very nice place, friendly family that made me feel perfectly at home. I will come back for sure if I return to Bentota

A lovely, homely welcoming place to stay. Very secure. Comfortable bed and great bathroom. Breakfast was excellent, fresh, varied and very filling. The whole place was spotlessly clean. It was lovely chatting to Aayu each day and being greated by her resident pet dog Brayu who didn’t bother anyone, was just happy to lay around. Access to the beach was very easy and just 10 mins walk. Loved being by the railway and seeing/hearing the local train go by. Aayu can provide lots of useful information and arranged a river safari for us which we thoroughly enjoyed. She also provided us with blankets to use on the beach. We missed Aayus hospitality as soon as we moved on, we would not hesitate to stay here again and happily recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Bentota. Aayu we missed Aayus hospitality you.

Nothing

The Guest House is in close proximity to Bentota train station and the beach. The rooms and the entire facility are very clean and tastefully decorated, the breakfast is very varied and plentiful. Everything is surpassed by the exceptional friendliness, helpfulness and hospitality of the owner, who is happy to answer questions, give tips and take very individual care of her guests.

Location was amazing so close to the beach, the host was so helpful with recommendations with everything really. Comfy bed good air con. So also let us check in early and use the room after check out to.

Nothing.

Auyu is a wonderful host. She goes out of her way to please and help you. Her breakfasts are lovely and plentiful. The location was 5 minutes from an amazing beach. You’ll love it here!

Aayu was an incredible host. So helpful and the breakfasts were delicious. The room was spacious and comfortable and the location was great.

Booked this for friends and they couldn’t stop raving about how good it was!

Aayu is wonderful. A natural host. Breakfast was beautiful. Room was comfortable and clean. Good WiFi and hot water. Walking distance to beach and main road

Lovely hosts, nice breakfast, friendly and close to beach and restaurants.

Dark room and damp towels etc because of location being closed in. Toiletries in bathroom consisted of a toilet roll and a tiny tablet of soap!

Very clean!

Great little guesthouse, lovely host and situated very close to the beach

Can’t think of anything, it was great

Aayu is so helpful, definitely wants her guests to be comfortable. Loved my room, beautifully decorated Breakfast was very nice, I especially loved the fruit platter. Supermarket, places to eat, and beach are all very close. Very much enjoyed my stay here 😊

Home-like place with very nice and helpful owner, who can help to arrange trips, transports, spa etc. Full English breakfast with lot of fresh fruits, juice. Close to the beach, restaurants, train station. Nice place with lot of green flowers, very friendly German Shepherd dog.

None.

If you are looking for a quiet, cosy guesthouse, this is your perfect match. Very close to the beach and restaurants, yet in a tranquil place. Host will treat you like a friend, very caring and helpful. Breakfast is another reason to stay - big and tasty. Super clean rooms and comfortable beds. :)

A simply wonderful 2 week stay amid a beautiful green oasis of carefully tended plants & a spotlessly clean & comfortable room. Aayu is an excellent hostess from the warm welcome excellent breakfasts and all the extra touches were much appreciated. We cannot recommend Aayu's place highly enough it is an absolute gem . We arrived as guests & departed as friends. See you again.

Nothing

Lovely hosts and very good value for money.

Nothing to not like!

Breakfast very good

Wonderful host

Extremely friendly and helpful host. Fabulous location, home surrounded by gorgeous plants and garden. Nicely away from the busyness, lovely short walk to the town.

The owners are incredibly friendly and helpful, clearly taking great care and pride in their work. The breakfast was outstanding, keeping us full for the entire day! The accommodation is in a fantastic location, with several restaurants and a supermarket nearby, and the beach just a two minute walk away. If we ever return to Bentota, we would absolutely stay here again.

My only niggle is that the Wifi was non existent.

Loveliest owner ever - helped a lot organising our too brief stay. And super cute dog :) Best bed in 2-week journey through Sri Lanka. Thanks a lot, Aayu!

All

Nothink

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Did everything to make sure our stay went well. Super friendly and professional. And a gorgeous dog. The most amazing breakfast. Overall very impressed.

Was all great

The host was really friendly and made us feel very welcome on our first day in Sri Lanka. She always had the best recommendations and contacted her friends for river safari in order to make our stay carefree. We want to mention that the breakfast was delicious and the atmosphere made us feel like we are at home :-)

We had the most wonderful stay in Aayu’s Guesthouse. We felt so looked after, almost as if we were at home. The room was clean, comfortable and we even were offered late check out as our flight was late in the evening. The breakfast was beautiful! I would highly recommend a stay here for anyone looking to explore Bentota.

Nothing!

Lovely private home stay with a lovely host. Super located close to the beach and some nice restaurants (go to Bamboo‘s Garden). The room has a big bed and everything you need.

The host was very kind & attentive

The place is warm, welcoming and feels like you are at home. The breakfast was gorgeous.

What a lovely place. The host is superfriendly and caring. Splendid breakfast, so delicious and rich that i used to skip lunch ) The room was clean and comfortable, and there is a terrace, where you can relax in evening. This place is on a quiet little street, but there is a supermarket just five minutes walk away. To get to the beach you just need to cross the railroads by footbridge. And despite the fact that the railway is nearby, you don’t hear it. There also lives a dog, big and kind, but don't even think about touching his toy, you don't want it, belive me )

The best place I stayed during my 2-week holiday in Sri Lanka. The place was very clean and the AC worked perfectly. It's very close to the beach. The host is really nice; she takes care of you as if you were part of her family. She even welcomed me into her kitchen for lunch when I arrived in pouring rain and couldn't go out to a restaurant. Delicious and huge breakfast, with lots of fruit, toast, eggs, and homemade sweets. Excellent value for money.

That I had to leave.

We were only here for a short overnight stay but the owner was lovely, the rooms were neat & comfortable and the breakfast was delicious

Nothing

Delightful host, excellent breakfasts, comfortable bed, good shower. Great air con too. The beach was very close by too!

Nothing really, but a bedside table and lamp would have been nice.

Everything! Aayu is such an amazing and beautiful host. The room was spacious, clean and very comfortable with a lovely outdoor space. The breakfast was delicious and massive! The location is close to the beach and restaurants, highly recommend this guest house.

The is nothing you could not like about this guest house.

Warm host who went out of her way to make us feel welcome. She allowed us to check in early. Superb breakfast, tasty and large. She prepared a lovely takeaway breakfast as we had to travel to the airport early the next day. Room was comfortable, good ac, ceiling fan, fridge and powerful shower. Location was superb, just back from the beach. The apartment had a lovely garden to eat breakfast. Everything was superb.

Nothing

One of the best stays in Sri Lanka, comfortable bed, good breakfast, great location, excellent hostess, good value for money

Bijou and boutiquey

Wi-Fi was on the blink

The host is really friendly, everything was super clean, exceptional breakfast, the room is really comfortable and clean, the location is waking distance to the beach! Good value for money! Wifi is available but it’s slow in general in that area I am sure it was highest possible speed. If I ever come back to Bentota I’ll definitely stay there!

Nothing everything was great

Very friendly owners,excellent facilities with a delicious breakfast.Perfect location

Aayu's Guest is an excellent location, and the soul of this guesthouse is Aayu (the owner) who makes you feel at home, responsive to any request, very helpful, very friendly. The location is clean, close to the beach, a few minutes' walk away you can find places to eat and shop.

Aayu’s Guest is ideally located for the beautiful, sandy and clean Bentota beach and Bentota railway station. It is a 5 minute walk over the track from the guest house and onto the beach. Set in a very small and quiet settlement with just the rumble of the occasional train. The property is run by the lovely Aayu, a lady who is constantly smiling and so helpful in every respect. She is a very house-proud lady. The rooms and the property itself are immaculately clean with large beds and beautiful bathrooms with good showers. The beds have mosquito nets, not that we saw any of these creatures. Aayu’s breakfasts were superb. She varied the egg portion daily between scrambled and omelette, all very tasty. Ample toast, tea, coffee and fruit juice. The fruit platters for each person were huge and she insisted that, if we couldn’t eat it all, we save it for later in the day. Pineapple, star fruit, bananas, mango, papaya, mangosteen, lychee. Aayu’s pet dog is a very large and very friendly 2 year old German Shepherd who is called Brave - so you can be assured of total security which was not needed anyway. Aayu arranged our final transfer to Bandaranaike airport with a charming neighbour at a very reasonable price. We all thoroughly enjoyed our 4 day stay and I feel sure you would too if you booked this guest house. The warmth shown by Aayu to her guests is just wonderful.

Absolutely nothing - it was perfect for our needs.

Aayu is a very welcoming and friendly host. Her spotless, pretty guest house is five minutes from a fabulous beach and plenty of great restaurants by the railway line. The breakfast was delicious, we had eggs, toast and a huge plate of tropical fruit each. If you’re visiting Bentota, stay with Aayu.

Everything was perfect

Lavish breakfast with fresh fruit as per your choice Helpful and cooperative host Comfortable rooms but slightly small. One of the rooms we booked did not have chairs to sit which made it a little inconvenient. Wonderful location just 5 mins walk from the Beach

One of the rooms was little small and did not have chairs to sit

Aayu is a great host, very welcoming even though we reached way earlier than expected without notice The breakfast she prepares for the guests is delicious with many local fresh fruits The location is great, just few meters away from the rail station and from the beach

The best place we stayed in Sri Lanka - the most lovely hosts, amazing home cooked meals and very comfortable accommodation. Just a 5 min walk from the beach with lots of great restaurant options close by! Highly recommend!!

Nothing.

Come visit Aayu's villa. You will be treated like royalty. Aayu is an outstanding host who goes above and beyond to make your stay perfect. Would definetely recommend to anyone. The villa is immaculately clean, European standards. Hot water, aircon, fan all working perfectly. Sheets smelling nice and fresh, soft towels. Breakfast is far the best we had in 2 weeks in Sri Lanka. The bed is actually king size with comfortable mattress. Can't recommend enough. Shortcut to the beach! Ayu also could organize the best river safary in few minutes and we got to see 3 crocos, 4 varans, many monkeys and giant bats.

We had the best stay so far in Sri Lanka for very honest price. Ayu is amazing. A shower curtain would keep the rest of the bathroom dryer and we are not fan of aquariums but this is personal preference.

What a wonderful place. We felt so welcome. The room was lovely and clean, and we had a quite large outdoor private area. The host is very friendly and serviceminded. She recommend the best restaurants and made good deals for us for tours and transport. The guesthouse is in a quiet area not far from the most wonderful beach you could imagine. You just have to go down the road, cross the railway at the station and go through the park....We highly recommend a stay and would gladly return of we came to the area again

We loved everything! This hostess is house-proud and it shows. Spotlessly clean and comfortable with so many details in the room to make you feel welcome. Amazing breakfast. Will definitely stay here again in the future!

Keep up the amazing work!

Great breakfast, very friendly host

It was very clean the breakfast was very good. Short distance to beach. Peaceful area.

Nothing

The host was fantastic..she was very welcoming very helpful..sorted out our laundry gave us advice on where to eat and what to pay for things..arranged tuk tuk whenever we wanted..came for 2 nights stayed for 4!! She even painted my toenails for me when I asked where to get them done locally. Short walk to fantastic beach and even shorter to a selection of restaurants. Such a clean beach and not overcrowded..good sea with no steep descents. Overall I loved it. Ps amazing friendly German shepherd dog who deserves a mention

In Srilanka everywhere I've stayed they dont service the rooms daily. This is still lanka as a whole and not a reflection on Aayi's guesthouse. I know she would if I asked but I didn't.

Cute room with all the facilities. Safe for solo women travellers. The host is very warm and goes out of her way to make your stay super comfortable. She was available 24*7. When I forgot my travel pillow in the room, she offered to drive 100 km to bring it to me!

The host is a very nice person. You can ask her all information you need. They have a very friendly dog who will wellcome. The breakfast is very good with many vegetarian option. 100% recommended !!!!

Aayu was the most lovely host, she couldn’t do enough for us. Provided us with recommendations, made us an amazing breakfast, she even drove all the way to Unawatuna when my boyfriend forgot his passport. Couldn’t recommend Aayu’s Guest more and would definitely return if we were in the area again. Also about a 5 minute walk from the beach and close to a number of different restaurants.

Nice standard room, fully equipped with all you need, incl. big bathroom, working AC and mosquito net. Breakfast was also very good. The host is very helpful (e.g. she accompanied me to a restaurant, because it was already dark). She makes sure you feel comfortable and have everything you need. Would definitely book again!

The stay was very comfortable, clean and spacious for a couple. The owner was amazing, they went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this stay for anyone visiting Bentota. The breakfast was delicious, with a huge variety of options! I hope to be back for a longer visit in the future.

There was nothing that we didn't like in our stay although it was just for 2 days.

Great location, friendly smiling host, helped a lot with the tour and taxi.. Room is clean, location is very good, breakfast is great!

The location was great, we were able to walk to both the train station and the beach in only a few minutes!

Host was very nice. Always smiling... Good breakfast.. Ask what you want in the morning. Very close to beach and Bentota railway station

Wi fi is Little bittle slow.

The host was very lovely and gave us great tips and even made us lovely breakfast at a later time. The bed was very comfortable! All was very clean.

Shower head not the best but not a big thing.

affordable and safe! so so so nice! everything you want and more.

Lovely hospitality, great location (close to railway station, beach, bus stop), very helpful host who helped us find the best way to travel, best places to see and eat at. Up to you if you like dogs but they also have an adorable well-trained good boy who we enjoyed spending time with.

The owner was so friendly.

Mrs Aayu was very helpful, gave great tips and infos and was very forthcoming with all our needs. We really enjoyed the communication with our host and it gave us a good start on our travel through Sri Lanka. Furthermore the room was clean, the bed comfortable and the location was prime for going to the beach or travelling by train.
