Waren jetzt schon das zweite Mal da! Sehr gutes Frühstück in toller Atmosphäre! Kommen immer wieder gern zurück!
Сложно сказать, тк жили в другой вилле))
Забронировали. Когда приехали мест не было, но хозяин предложил лучшую виллу за туже цену, она была просторнее и кроме нас в ней никого не было, кроме хозяев внизу.
We have spent 3 nights at New Jaya Villa and it was great. The place is very peaceful, with many plants and flowers all around. Nice terrasse to spend time on and very quiet, no noise at night or during the day :) The owner and his family are very nice, friendly and welcoming. Breakfasts were great (Western breakfast or Sri Lankan breakfast). There is milk with hot drinks and there are always fruits and delicious things to eat! There is also a restaurant where you can eat lunch and dinner (this is also where you eat breakfast in the morning), we haven't tried the restaurant but we're sure it's delicious! There is no laundry service, but we could easily do it across the street. It's perfectly located close to the beach and nice restaurants, as well as 6min walking distance from the bus stop. When we were there it was really hot, so the roof fan was just enough, but another fan would have been great :) Wi-Fi wasn't working during our stay but we had our own connexion and data, so it wasn't a problem. The bedroom and bathroom were big, clean and confortable. There is hot water (even though it was absolutely not necessary when we were there lol). We really recommend to stay there! And if it's too hot, do not hesitate to book the AC rooms with nice terasse on the upper floor. Thanks for everything!
Einfach aber zweckmäßig. Auf einem Gartengrundstück gelegen, auf dem der sehr freundliche, hilfsbereite und sehr zuvorkommende Vermieter mit seiner Familie lebt. Wir haben sehr gut gefrühstückt und öfter auch am Abend dort gegessen. Der Weg zum Strand ist einfach und kurz. Wir sind länger geblieben als geplant, weil wir uns hier rund um wohl gefühlt haben. Zum Schluss hat Jaya noch einen Shuttle zum Flughafen organisiert. Geheimtipp für uns war der Gewürzladen von Bekannten in Bentota (unbedingt empfehlenswert)!
Nichts.
The beautiful well kept gardens, the friendly helpful owners, the amazing food, the excellent well maintained rooms, the efficient air conditioning, the location.

New jaya villa è un posto carino, nel verde, in posizione tranquilla a pochi passi dalla spiaggia di Bentota e dai ristoranti della zona. Il giardino è molto curato con bellissime piante e fiori. La colazione è servita su una terrazza esterna e prevede tè caffè, frutta, pane burro e marmellata e vari dolci locali. Il proprietario è sempre stato molto disponibile e gentile con noi: quando ha saputo che ci piaceva il coconut roti ce lo ha sempre fatto trovare a colazione, ci ha aiutato a cambiare i soldi e anche a trovare un taxi per raggiungere l'aeroporto. Abbiamo cenato a new jaya villa qualche sera e ci siamo trovati bene. C'è un minimarket vicino, comodo per comprare snack o acqua. La stazione dei treni non è distantissima, noi con le valigie abbiamo raggiunto new jaya villa a piedi ma ci sono anche molti tuk tuk. Qualità prezzo direi molto buono.
Jaya est un homme très jovial et accueillant qui vous met à l'aise. Très disponible et peut donner de bons conseils. Il gère les 4 chambres lui même et son fils fait de la très bonne cuisine au restaurant attenant.
Un emplacement de rêve, un accueil chaleureux et un bon restaurant. Les efforts pour communiquer en français
Die Lage und das Ambiente
The host, the garden, the atmosphere, the silence, the birds, the food. Great location to access the beach. Come and try it for yourself.
Zimmer war sehr groß und sauber, Bad war ebenfalls sauber. Mit Klimaanlage. Die Lage war super! Nur 10-15 min zum Stand. Das Grundstück ist toll, viele Pflanzen und ordentlich. Der Host ist super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Es gibt sogar ein Restaurant, wo man einigermaßen preiswert essen kann. Das Essen ist wirklich extrem lecker und von der Familie selber gekocht. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und würden immer wieder kommen.
Todo en general. La habitación, su terraza y la parcela de la casa espectaculares, decorados con mucho gusto. Llegamos tarde y además del buen recibimiento, nos ofreció poder cenar allí mismo, en un comedor al aire libre y muy bonito. Al desayuno no se le puede pedir más, abundante. Y lo mejor, está a un paseíto de una impresionante y bellísima playa. Muy recomendable. Lastima que no teníamos más días.
El pequeño detalle sin importancia de que no había papel de baño, y un jaboncito para lavarse las manos. Se lo pedimos al dueño y al minuto ya nos lo trajo. No lo valoro como algo negativo.
Jaya is a good person, and he has a lovely place, it's peaceful and in a good location
We didn't receive gas with the kitchen, which doesn't fit the description with mentions a useable kitchen. But Jaya has been kind enough to provide hot water for us
Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Besitzer, welche auch mit dem guten Essen punkten können, haben das obere Zimmer erhalten und waren dort super glücklich. Schöner und aufgeräumter Garten.
Der große Hund müsste nicht sein, auch wenn er anscheinend lieb ist. Nachts viele Tiergeräusche auf dem Dach.
Good place, 10/10.
We loved staying here. The garden is beautiful and most of the fruit, they serve for breakfast grows in the garden. Best part is the host! He is very nice, answers all your questions and he gives you recommendations for activities and even organizes them for you. He also drives you around in his Tuktuk for free. You will definitely enjoy your stay! :))
The garden is so beautiful! A lot of nice plants, sweet dog, breakfast included and a good location, even if not directly at the beach.
Room size is good. I didn't have any breakfast. Beach is far away
The Owner. No staff. He himself is doing everything. Too talkative. Didn't refund my small balance.
Jaya is very friendly and helpful, and the guesthouse and garden is lovely. Hot water, fridge, terrace and AC, really good. A short walk across the railtrack to a beautiful beach. Would definitely stay again. Nice veggy food available too!
The property was in a serene location & the host was exceptional. Nothing was too much for him.
It is a beautiful house with a very beautiful garden in a quiet residential area, the owners are very friendly and accommodating wanting one to feel at home, the home cooked breakfast was excellent, only 10 minutes walk from the beach and 20 minutes walk from supermarket and main road. There are several restaurants close by offering a wide range of local and international food. There is also an Ayurveda centre few minutes away . Is also 10-15 minutes walk to Bentota railway station
Clean comfortable with excellent wifi The host is very helpful and keeps the property immaculate and secure The birdsong and outside space are a sanctuary Pottable water too! From a well I believe
This is a great budget stay with all the basic amenities you need. The owner is super helpful—he even helps you find local spots and can take you around in his tuk-tuk if needed. The highlight was definitely the food! They serve amazing, homely Sri Lankan meals. Plus, their adorable pet dog, Mashi, made the stay even better. The location is also a big plus—just a short walk to Bentota Beach.
The only downsides were that the Wi-Fi wasn’t working during our stay (the owner mentioned there was an issue), and after 6 pm, it can be tricky to find a tuk-tuk since the property is a bit tucked away. If you’re planning to go out for dinner, it’s best to arrange a ride in advance or have a tuk-tuk driver’s number handy to call for pickups and drops.
Great room in a really beautiful garden. Everything you need with mosquito net, Air conditioning, towels and hot water. You can also get dinner from the host. Short walk to the most beautiful beach in Bentota, no problem to cross the railway lines.
An ideal place to spend 3 nights. Very near the beach, multiple restaurants, local shops and snack bars. The property itself is extremely well kept by Jaya. I loved eating his freshly grown fruit for breakfast, and he's really interesting and helpful, particularly with local knowledge. You wont be getting ripped off when Jaya is helping you book activities (lovely mangrove tour and pit stop at ayurveda garden!). Very relaxing feel to the place too! The room was more than spacious. Everything you needed from kitchen facilities to, mosquito net, good fan,
wifi was temperamental
Breakfast was superb different every day and tasty. We had our own kitchenette, fridge and sink which gave us freedom to cook if we wished. Will certainly stay again if we return to Sri Lanka, quirky place with great beaches and restaurants. Wendy and Steve Australia
Jaya is very helpful did all the needful thankyou
Jaya, our host was extremely friendly, helpful and informative. Anything we wanted to do or see, he arranged it for us. he is a 10\10 host. His garden is amazing, like a mini jungle with lots of birds, squirrels and one day we also saw monkey on Jaya's trees. The Apartmants are 5 mins walk away from the beach, crossing the railways.
Beautiful room and garden, not far from a huge, empty beach. I loved to stay here!
I had a wonderful stay here. My room was big and comfortable and my balcony was overlooking Jaya's awesome garden and the jungle. Jaya was a wonderful host who showed me the shortcut to the beach, took my luggage to the train station and was always there to help. Breakfast was big and delicious. It was also no problem to get hot water or a plate and cutlery. Drinking water was always available. The location is in walking distance to the beach, restaurants, the town centre.
Nothing
I booked for 2 nights and ended up stayed for 7 nights. Great place to relax and explore the beautiful Bentota. Lovely spacious big room with good fan. Large comfortable bed for good nights sleep. It was immaculately clean. Also contained separate kitchen area with small stove and utensils for cooking own food hot drinks. Also was large fridge freezer Located in large beautiful gardens and two minute walk to the glorious beaches of Bentota and shops restaurants all in walking distance . Big size bathroom with shower with hot or cold water. Great host and family always available and friendly kind people. Highly recommend very good value for money.
No faults. Would gladly stay again.
Absolutely beautiful property! Bed, bathroom, garden, it’s all fabulous! With incredible air conditioning! The property is a short 5 minute walk to the beach and about 10 or so to the restaurants! Jaya is a lovely host! Very grateful to of found this stay!
Nothing, it’s perfect!
The whole property is just wow! Covered with in house garden, the place is the best for a leisure stay in Bentota. Rooms are quite good and spacious. One gets abpvt kitchen which is useful if someone is planning to stay for longer and wants to cook. If you are a dog lover, then there's a cherry on the top - their dog Mashi(3 yr old Doberman). She is very friendly and rarely barks. Whenever she needs someone new, she often smiles. The beach is at a 5 min walk from the house(don't go by the Google maps route, ask the host - there's a shorter route across railway track) There are a lot of restaurants near the beach. Breakfast is also available at the stay and it's pretty good. One of the bests that I had in my whole Sri Lanka trip. The hosts have a Tuktuk and a boat so they can help you arrange boat safari or nearby market trips if required.
Nothing much.
Little old but very nice accommodation close to Bentota beach. The host is really kind and helpful. Arranged river safari for us and cooked tasty dinners-mullet fish and prawns. The breakfast was big and very tasty.
Very clean. Helpful owner who arranged good value boat trip and taxi, beautiful gardens. Comfortable room with good ac. V good value for money, much nicer than most hotels I stayed in. I would recommend.
A little far from restaurants for a solo female to walk to at night. My downstairs room was next to dogs toilet.
The accommodation is made with a lot of love from the host. You have the feeling of being in the middle of the jungle because he has created an enchanting garden. The host is also incredibly nice and helpful. We asked him for a local breakfast and got the most delicious Sri Lankan curry so far.
I was charged at higher rate, as the host accepts only cash, the balance was not returned to me. I also paid for two breakfasts, while only one of them was served, again for that there was no refund.
New jaya villa was in a lovely woofed area. 2 mins from the beach.. Jaya is a great host. Lovely food.. Excellente English... Great pet dog.. I had a lovely few days there.. I've been recommending to other travelers. Allround excellent.
Not much to report here.. As the host is doing business for nearly 40yrs. He runs it well.
Everything about this place is awesome! Jaya is a super host and an all rounder. He has maintained the place so well. Super clean and green. Budget friendly. The food was awesome. Rooms are really nice. Must stay here if you are in Bentota. Will definitely visit again. Thank you, Jaya!! :)
I liked everything.
Spacious and clean room that opens to a beautiful garden with a little porch where you can eat your meals. Jaya is very friendly and a great cook, we ate dinner there twice and loved the food. Great location that is tucked away from the main road and is a short walk to the beach. Highly recommend!
Amazing place with amazing host. It is really clean. The owner is nice and helpful guy. It was pleasure to talk to him. What is important for me - our host knows different kinds of diet, including vegan. He picked us up from the train station for free without any problem. The room is big and there is a lot of space AC works perfect. No problem with insects also. Thank you, Jaya!
Spacious room with a kitchen and a fridge. Such a green background around the house. Bathroom also had all the essentials including hot water. Owner’s are caring and friendly. They had such a nice dog too. Best place if you are a pet lover and a nature lover.
Nothing to complain about.
Our best stay so far! The host is so nice (and honest)! He gave us tips and you could ask him for anything (laundry service as well). We got breakfast and dinner (very nice, he's a good cook!). We also did the mangrove tour with him, he give us a fair price (prices online a way overpriced). We payed 7.500LKR and was a nice 2 hour tour. Really recommend this place. Few minutes walk to a really nice and quiet beach.
It was out of the ordinary, with a variety of tropical trees acting as a canopy from the midday Sun🌞 In fact was a mini Kew Gardens with Many, Many different Trees adding, Tranquil, Variety and Intriguing too.
Perhaps more protection against the small flying objects
Really nice place with a lovely garden to sit in, our room was great, clean and big and the kitchen was an added bonus! Friendly and helpful staff. Not far from the beach or town.
Nice and clean room surrounded by an huge beautiful garden. Jaya and his wife are very friendly and kind, they always did their best for us during our staying. Mashi (their dog) is definitely the cherry on the cake, such a sweet smiley doggy. If I will come back to Bentota, for sure I’ll stay here again. Thank you!
Jaya is the most welcoming and nice host you can imagine. Room was clean and had a nice terrace, breakfast was excellent. Jaya and his family have great hospitality skills, every need is met and anything can be organized if needed. There is a little shop just outside of the guesthouse and it is really close to the beach. A little paradise in the jungle, looking forward to return some day!
Friendly host, helpful and nice cosy space
Our host was amazing. He gave us many tips about prices and things that foreigners should know. Even though there was no power and no internet since a storm destroyed the wire, he made our stay really amazing, cooked dinner for us and organised a great driver to our next destination. He even let us check in 2 hours earlier. His house and garden are beautiful and well maintained. Thanks for everything.

Place was same as described on the site. Host was very friendly and flexible. Rooms were clean and was ready to occupy when we got to the location. Worth for the price and can recommend to someone.
The place is perfect for a short stay as well as for a longer one. We stayed for 2 nights, on Aluth Avurudda(Sinhalese New Year), and we were invited to spend the afternoon with the host and his family. As we were not able to get on time for the celebration, they saved some food for us, and we had it the next day. That said, I only have praise for this place, its host and his family, and Maggi, the dog.
Everything was as in the pictures and description, even better.
Lovely location, beautiful Gardens. Few minutes from the beach
Carefulness of the owner, cleanliness of the room, relative proximity to the sea.
No fruit and food shops within walking distance.
