Everything We loved our room the breakfasts and most of all the amazing hosts they were kind and helpfull and so happy
Having to leave
部屋も広々としていて、各部屋についているテラスにもすぐ出られる。タオルがたくさん用意されている。朝食が食べ切れないほど豪華だった。オーナー夫妻が明るくて親切。スリランカらしいホームメイドなおもてなしが受けられる。
ベントタの町中心からはやや離れていること。スリーウィーラーで送迎してくれるので問題はない。
Everything is perfect and unbelievable. The owner is an amazing person. We will stay here if comes around.

The hosts Nishanti and Wasanta were the most generous and kind people we have met. It felt as comfortable as your own home. My sister had to go to the hospital for an emergency and Wasanta Sir was gracious to drive us to the hospital and be with us throughout. God Bless the kind couple. Touched by their graciousness. Will come again soon.
Unsere Ankunft in bentota mit dieser Unterkunft war perfekt. Die Inhaber immer respektvoll am fragen ob man was Brauch. Jederzeit hilfsbereit. Super sympathische Familie. Unglaubliches frühstück🙏 Alle Fragen beantwortet die man gestellt hat. Unterkunft in ruhiger Lage. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen wieder. Preis Leistung ganz toll 😊
War alles super
Everything is cleaned, organised, 2min from the beach. The owners were amazing, they literally made my holiday!! Her husband took me everywhere, helped me to get the bus back to Colombo, took me to the tours and both of them even took care of me when I went alone to a restaurant surrounded by some beach boys (I was alone and the only woman having dinner there, they stayed around to make sure no one would bother me - although they were very respectful and friendly). I will not say the breakfast was amazing because I can’t call that a breakfast only… that was a private buffet/lunch/dinner!! Absolutely amazing. The boy serving me the breakfast was super respectful and nice with me. I hope to come back very soon in a high season so I can enjoy and swim in the ocean.
I couldn’t stay longer because I need to work… that the only thing I didn’t like! Hahaha
Alles Super Sehr liebevolle Vermieter 🥰
The hosts are SO wonderful 🥰 this was seriously the best service I have ever received in any accommodation. It is also a serene setting, just behind the road from the beach which is about 30m away, and the best rooms are at the height of the palm trees with cute little balconies. The complimentary breakfast is wonderful - a beautiful fruit platter, yummy creamy yoghurt with honey, a mango juice, tea/coffee, eggs/omelette and sausages, toasted brioche and a plate of all kinds of Sri Lankan baked treats (like a rolled up coconut sugar crepe, some coconut roti, a yummy sourdough-like sweet muffin and some samosa-like pastries). They packaged up those Sri Lankan treats for me to take away and have for my lunch because I was too full 🥹 I unfortunately cut my foot when I was here and walking back from the beach at night, but the host Nishanthi was so caring and brought me cotton pads and bandages to help me wrap it up. I felt super cared for.
Nothing - was perfect
Great breakfast!
Das Zimmer war sehr schön und sauber. Es ist alles vorhanden was man braucht. Das Frühstück ist hervorragend und wir auf dem zimmereigenen Balkon serviert. Die zwei Besitzer sind sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Sie haben uns zu allen unseren Wunschplätzen gefahren und abgeholt und hatten auch ein paar gute Geheimtipps. Einfach top.
What a beautiful property in the Bentota surrounds. I came here due to the glowing reviews and yet was still blown away. The rooms are so grand, comfortable and gorgeous gardens. Nishanti and her husband are genuinely gorgeous souls who want for all of their guests to have the best experience. They put so much thought into absolutely everything from welcoming you, to the presentation of the rooms, helping you get around town and with recommendations and a Devine breakfast on the balcony in the morning. I went out to clean the tuk tuk id hired and Nishanti came to give me a hand just to share in conversation and share the workload. It was truely the most memorable stay I had in my two weeks in Sri Lanka. Until next time! Miss you already!
Absolutely not applicable everything was fantastic
The hosts were so amazing helpful & friendly… The breakfast was outstanding & huge. The staff were friendly & helpful.
Our stay at Sri Lankashire Guest House was excellent. From the moment we arrived, they were incredibly kind and welcoming. Before we left, they even gave us a small souvenir, which was such a lovely and thoughtful gesture. The breakfast was absolutely amazing — without a doubt the best we had in Sri Lanka. The quality and quantity of food were incredible, truly outstanding. She, especially, was extremely kind and helpful with us throughout our stay. She went out of her way to help us order dinner when we were having trouble with our phone. In the end, when we didn’t order because it seemed too expensive, they kindly offered us their own dinner, which was an incredibly generous gesture that we will never forget. The room was very comfortable and had a great terrace, perfect to relax. The location is also very good, very close to the beach. They also helped us with transport, even taking us by tuk-tuk to exchange money without charging extra, which we really appreciated. Overall, a wonderful experience thanks to their kindness and hospitality. We highly recommend this place and would definitely stay again. Than you for all. Claudia and Pablo
Sehr außergewöhnliche Unterkunft. Das beste was wir in 4 Wochen Sri Lanka erlebt hatten. Die Besitzer sind sehr sehr freundlich, vor allem Nishanthi mit Ihrer warmherzigen Art….. man fühlt sich von Anfang an wie zuhause. Die Zimmer sind sehr liebevoll eingerichtet und mit Blumen geschmückt. Das tägliche Frühstück ist einfach nur Mega. Sehr reichhaltig und lecker. Jeder Wunsch wird von den Lippen abgelesen. Selbst die Lage
Es gibt absolut nichts negatives.
Wir wurden super herzlich mit Blumenkette und einem Kokosgetränkt empfangen und aufgenommen. Das Zimmer war blitzeblank sauber und hatte einen Balkon auf dem das Frühstück serviert wurde. Das Frühstück war grandios und so viel das wir noch genügend zum Mittagessen hatten. Es wurde sogar extra eine Tüte hierfür bereitgestellt. Uns wurden tolle Restaurants und eine Bootssafari empfohlen, zu denen wir dann mit dem TukTuk gefahren und wieder abgeholt wurden.
War alles prima, es gab nichts auszusetzen.
Close to the beach, beautiful room, great breakfast and even nicer hosts.
Also wirklich ein super schöner Aufenthalt. Einfach eine mega Empfehlung! Alles typisch für Sri Lanka: tolles guesthouse, ein wahnsinns Frühstück - was wir so nicht wieder in Sri Lanka hatten, und ein tolles Zimmer mit Balkon. Dort wurde auch das Frühstück serviert. Unbedingt machen! Es gab auch einen Strand wo niemand war.
Superbe maison d'hôte très bien décorée, de superbes chambres décorées avec bon goût, toutes équipées, avec pleins de fleurs partout en arrivant 😁 Le petit déjeuner était le meilleur que nous ayons eu durant notre séjour au Sri Lanka. C'est situé dans une impasse très calme, juste à côté de la plage, sur laquelle nous pouvons profiter de transats ombragés. Les hôtes sont d'une grande gentillesse et très serviable. Allez y sans hésitation !
Wonderful place to stay. The best we have been looked after in any hotel I've ever stayed in. The people are amazing, they couldn't do enough for us. Really lovely people. The rooms are stunning, so large. We had an enormous balcony where we were served an incredible breakfast. Location is perfect, right across the road from a lovely beach. the owner even took us across to sort us out some free sun beds. Would recommend to anyone to stay here. I hope I get to stay here again in the future
Huge bedrooms. Finer details. Amazing breakfast. Staff and owners were always caring.
Nothing. Maybe only road and train but that’s no problem
Parfait ! Tout est fait pour que vous vous sentiez bien. Les hôtes sont adorables. L’hôtel est très beau et très propre. Le petit déjeuner excellent sur votre propre terrasse. On est ravie de notre séjour.
The hosts were amazing. Couldn’t do enough for us ! They even welcomed us with a lei of flowers at a 2.30 am check in! The best breakfast (served to our balcony ) during 3 months of travel, presented to perfection, and so much that it lasted us all day. Beach across the road, 2 mins walk! Great to have a fridge and kettle with tea/coffee 😊Would def return and for much longer next time. Lovely people ❤️🥰

Die beste Unterkunft, die ich in Sri Lanka hatte & ich hatte viele sehr gute! Die Hilfsbereitschaft und Gastfreundlichkeit der Hosts sind unglaublich, die Zimmer mit so viel Liebe gestaltet und das Frühstück der absolute Wahnsinn! Wenn ich könnte, würde ich eine 12/10 vergeben!
Absolut gar nichts!
The house is incredibly clean and well kept, the rooms beautifully presented and breakfast on the balcony is a highlight every day. Wasantha also provides a great service with his tuk tuk taking us shopping, to the bank and to dinner - as well as organising a river safari. Just across the road from a fantastic beach. Thoroughly recommended.
There is some raid noise but it wasn’t a problem.
Hosting was exceptional, we got welcome drinks and even a goodbye gift. Breakfast was abundant and we could have it on our own balcony. Room was spacious and had a nice ambient. The beach is 5 minutes walking.
The internet package that they have is not proper. They tried to solve the problem but we were left with limited internet.
Die Unterkunft war sehr gepflegt, sauber und mit viel Liebe zum Detail gestaltet. Schon der Empfang war etwas ganz Besonderes: Nishanthi und Wasantha haben uns mit einer Blumenkette und einer King Coconut begrüßt und das gesamte Zimmer war wunderschön mit Blumen dekoriert. The best breakfast ever!!! Es wurde von dem herzlichen Mitarbeiter auf dem eigenen Balkon serviert und alle Speisen erklärt. Was nicht aufgegessen wurde, durfte eingepackt und mitgenommen werden, in bereitgestellte Tüten! Zum schönen menschenleeren Strand geht es nur über die Straße, viele Restaurants mit Meerblick sind fußläufig erreichbar. Wasantha bietet sein Tuktuk für Ausflüge und Restaurant-Besuche an, ein Auto für weitere Fahrten gibt es auch. Wir sind dankbar für die schöne Zeit und empfehlen sehr gerne weiter.
Location, owners, breakfast, room and overall hospitality exceeded any expectations!
The most incredible stay to finish our trip. The hosts were really fantastic, from the moment we entered we felt truly welcomed and their kindness didn’t go unnoticed. All the little extras they offered blew us away, and we left sad not having spent more time here. The rooms were huge, clean and had everything you needed and the breakfast was amazing especially sat on the terrace. Thanks again for the best stay and cannot wait to return!
One of the best stays on our Sri Lanka trip! The breakfast was exceptional, always with freshly pressed juice and fresh fruits. The hosts are incredibly friendly, welcoming us with flowers and refreshments, and personally seeing us off. The accommodation is spotless and beautifully decorated with attention to detail. We would book again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it!
Everything was very good.
Zeer schoon en nette kamer, regelmatige schoonmaak en verversing van handdoeken en beddegoed. Voldoende kastruimte met kluisje aanwezig, en mini koelkast. Zeer goed ontbijt voorzien van veel fruit en sri lanka specialiteiten voor ons teveel, kregen plastic zakje om het te bewaren voor later op de dag. Eigenaars zeer behulpzaam met vervoer en excursie's. Kortom zeer goede en pretige ervaring komen zeker nog eens terug als wij in sri lanka zijn.
Eigenlijk niets,wij zouden heel lang moeten denken om iets te vinden.
Wir haben uns in diesem Guesthouse sehr wohl gefühlt! Das Zimmer ist geräumig und stilvoll eingerichtet. Das Paar, welches das Guesthouse führt, ist sehr hilfsbereit und fuhr uns mit dem tuktuk sogar mehrmals kostenlos zu gewünschten Zielorten. Und das Frühstück ist einfach ein Traum!
Das einzige, was uns nicht so gefallen hat, ist dass man zum Strand die Hauptstrasse überqueren muss. Insbesondere da wir mit Baby reisen, war es uns nicht so wohl an der Strasse entlang zu laufen.
The couple who own this guest house are wonderfully kind and friendly hosts. Our room was spotless and was beautifully presented with fresh flowers. We had a balcony where we were served the most delicious and generous breakfast. The beach is 2 minutes walk away across the road where there is a restaurant/bar with sun loungers ( free if you eat or drink something). We loved this place… could have stayed much longer. We’ll be back.
A bit of traffic noise but if you want to be close to the beach that’s the small price you pay. The other benefits of the guest house more than make up for the noise.
De tudo. Fomos recebidos com um cocô fresco pela Dona e o seu companheiro. Muito simpáticos e prestaveis. O quarto era espaçoso e limpo, com uma varanda excelente e estava decorado com pétalas e flores variadas. Casa de banho espaçosa. Bom wi-fi. Chaleira e frigorífico. Emprestaram toalhas de praia que fica logo do outro lado da rua do alojamento. O pequeno almoço foi soberbo, com fruta variada, ovos e torradas e ainda um prato de iguarias da região. No dia do check out ajudaram-nos a apanhar o autocarro para Colombo. Melhor estadia de toda a viagem!
Nada a apontar
Auch beim zweiten Aufenthalt war alles perfekt. Wunderschön dekoriertes großes Zimmer, mega Frühstück und die besten Gastgeber.
Super Frühstück, sehr saubere Unterkunft und sehr nette Besitzer. Wir hatten einen super Aufenthalt und würden jederzeit nochmal kommen.
C'est tout simplement la meilleure guest housse que j'ai pu faire au Sri Lanka ! Tout était fait avec tellement de soins 🥹🥰 La literie parfaitement confortable, le petit déjeuné sublime. J'aurais aimé avoir un peu plus de temps ici. On m'a aussi prodigué de bon conseils, j'ai pu faire une des meilleures excursions aux alentours et bénéficier de transport gratuitement 🥹 Je me sens tellement reconnaissante d'avoir rencontré Nichanti et son mari Whasantha ! Merci encore pour tout 🙏🏻✨🙏🏻
Die Gastgeber sind unglaublich nett und zuvorkommend, die Unterkunft ist sehr schön und mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet und dekoriert. Der Strand ist fussläufig gut erreichbar und wir wurden zum Abendessen sogar zum Restaurant gefahren. Das Frühstück war auch extrem lecker und abwechslungsreich.

To był nasz ostatni nocleg podczas 14dniowej podróży motocyklowej po Sri Lance. Zostaliśmy przyjęci w niesamowity sposób. Gościnności gospodarzy nie da się opisać słowami. Obiekt posiada liczne udogodnienia, a właściciel podwiózł nas swoim tuk tukiem za darmo do polecanej restauracji na kolację. Śniadanie, które otrzymaliśmy nawiązywało do kuchni lankijskiej i było przepyszne. Obsługa podczas śniadania jest jak w restauracji wysokiej klasy, można poczuć się wyjątkowo. Z zdumienie wprawiło mnie 5 sposobów przygotowania jajek wymienionych przez kelnera, można było sobie wybrać jak chcemy zostały przyrządzone dla nas, Jedzenie było pyszne i w bardzo dużych ilościach, dostaliśmy nawet torebki by zabrać część na lunch, co było bardzo miłe. Szczerze mówiąc Bentotę wybraliśmy nieco przypadkowo szukając czegoś na trasie powrotnej do Kolombo, a doświadczyliśmy otwartości i radości gospodarzy z jaką chyba nie spotkałam się przez ostatnie 6 lat od kiedy intensywnie podróżujemy. Szczerze polecamy. Materiał video z tego miejsca dostępny będzie na naszym kanale yt, zachęcamy do sprawdzenia vlogów ze Sri Lanki. M&R Travel Story
Tot, desde la càlida benvinguda fins al moment de marxar tot perfecte! Si et vols sentir com a casa Sri Lancashire és la teva millor opció! Super net! Els amfitrions t'ofereixen portar-te amb el tuk tuk de forma altruista per poder anar a sopar a la vora! Quina gran sort haver-vos trobat! Inmillorable despedida tambè! Una abraçada!
La familiaridad con la que te reciben es única . Cuidan cada uno de los detalles . Es maravilloso .
Tutto perfetto! L’accoglienza dei proprietari e la gentilezza sono incredibili. La camera era pulitissima e la colazione eccezionale. A due passi dal mare.
Niente
The whole place is so beautifully decorated. The owners so clearly love and take care of their venue and the people who stay in it. The room had fresh flowers every morning that it was cleaned and a delicious, huge breakfast was delivered to our balcony every morning. Not to mention nothing was too much for the owners in regards to transport. The owner took us round in his tuk tuk wherever we wanted to go and picked us up when we were finished. They were also able to recommend places to go on trips and where to eat.
The only thing that we probably would suggest is perhaps for the staff to wait a little later in the morning to sweep the balcony as this woke us up earlier than we would have liked.
We hebben echt genoten van ons verblijf hier! Vooral dankzij het lieve en ongelooflijk gulle stel. Ze gaven ons een warm welkom met een verfrissende kokosnoot na onze lange reis. 🥥 De kamers zijn erg schoon, ruiken heerlijk en zijn prachtig versierd met schattige bloemen. Overal bloemen! 🌺 Een heel lekker en gevarieerd ontbijt wordt geserveerd op je eigen balkon. 🍉🍍 De hosts boden zelfs aan ons naar alle activiteiten en restaurants te rijden, dus taxi’s zijn hier niet nodig. 🛺 Boek deze plek gewoon, je zult er geen spijt van krijgen 🙌🏼
Sometimes when you travel you get fortunate and you pick a place like Sri Lankashire. Beautiful building big clean rooms great breakfast but the highlight are the owners Wasanthi and Nisanthi. They make you feel like being part of their family always smiling giving good advice try to protect you and taka care of you. They are a reason to come back in Sri Lanka. It's been an honor meeting you guys hope to see you again. For travelers that want a home like accommodation look no further.
prima notte in Sri Lanka: ottima accoglienza, attesi oltre l’orario di check-in (fino alle 23). Sistemazione ottima con camera confortevole e estremamente pulito. Prima colazione principesca! La cortesia di Nishanthi ci ha accompagnato per oltre due giorni dal nostro check-out.
Probably the best guest house I'll ever stay in. Nishanthi and Wasantha gave a warm and friendly welcome and catered for every need I had during my 3 night stay. Nishanthi's laugh is infectious which I just fell in love with and Wasantha is the man to organize every aspect of your stay with low cost travel in his BMW tuk tuk!

This was the first place I arrived at on my trip to Sri Lanka as a solo female traveller. Nashanthi and Wasantha could not have been more accommodating and welcoming. I arrived much earlier than originally thought and the hosts quickly organised my bedroom for me so I could have a good sleep. I was given a delicious king coconut drink on arrival, an abundance of delicious fresh fruit and juice for breakfast, as well as eggs and Sri Lankan snacks which filled me up all day. They went the extra mile in helping me arrange trips and gave me tuktuk lifts to the nearby town to get cash and clothes. They also organised a scooter for me for the duration of my stay in Sri Lanka, and looked after my things until I returned, regularly checking on me to make sure I was safe. As a young female traveller this meant a lot to me and it was very reassuring to know I had contacts in the country if I needed them. The room was spotless and sweetly decorated, and the bed was very comfy. They recommended a nearby restaurant for me which was only a ten minute walk away and very delicious. Would definitely return.
Nothing
Lovely owners, welcome with flowers and fresh cocunut. The room is very nice and comfortable, with a great balcony. The owners will help je with anything and gives great advice. The breakfast is a lot, overwhelming. We also get a lunch for our trip to the rainforest , so nice.

Amazing breakfast with very nice host. Great location with easy beach access. Just down the road from the turtle rescue facility.
This accommodation was absolutely great! The best accommodation in Sri Lanka. The room is very clean and well equipped. The bed is very comfortable, pillows too. The room has air conditioning, fan and access to a spacious balcony. The host is very nice and helpful. The host greeted us very friendly and prepared fresh flower in the room. The host speaks English and recommended us to take the bus to the airport, he had a very personable approach, picked us up at the bus stop when we arrived. For dinner the host took us by tuktuk to their favourite restaurant (the name is Wave) and picked us up again by tuktuk after dinner. It was possible to leave our backpacks downstairs at the front desk after check out. Breakfast was fabulous. We had a big and very good breakfast (pineapple juice, a full plate of fruit, eggs and toast with jam and butter, and there were a few Sri Lankan specialties). Highly recommended! Absolutely perfect.
Wonderful hosts, kind, helpful and willing to provide local tuktuk rides. The house was only 100 metres from a beautiful beach. The breakfasts were amazing, the best we had in Sri Lanka.
Our group loved everything about our stay at Sri Lancashire GH. The breakfast was the best we experienced in Sri Lanka. Accommodation just gorgeous. Just a 5 minute walk to the beach. Nisthanthe and Wasthante very helpful with suggestions of things to do and will provide transfers to airport, shops for a reasonable fee

Delicious breakfast, very clean rooms and bathroom, very helpful host and staff . Nice balcony for breakfast and relaxing.

Fantastic place - with an exceptionally friendly staff. The service level was far higher than expected, and in a very welcoming manner. We have stayed in many places in Sri Lanka and in Asia in general - but this place is by far the best place we have stayed in terms of quality, atmosphere and price.

We had the most wonderful welcome when we arrived. Our room was spacious and full of flowers. The balcony was a lovely place to sit and enjoy the best breakfasts we had in our entire 6 week trip. Our hosts were so friendly and helpful, took us across the road to the beach where they had sun loungers, took us by tuk tuk to a recommended non touristy restaurant on the beach. It is situated on a quite stretch of beach away from the crowds on Bentota beach. This was definitely one of the best places we stayed and not the most expensive.
Nothing
The experience there was nothing less than absolutely fantastic. The hosts were extremely kind and attentive! We felt so welcome. The room was decorated upon arrival and we received a welcome drink and a flower necklace right away. The location is beautiful and close to the beach, which is highly recommended, the room is comfortable and the breakfast was amazing. We've had dinner at "The Boiling Lobr" right by the beach which was also delicious and is recommended. We would have prolonged our stay especially for this hotel. It was one of the best stays we have experienced and would recommend it to anyone who travels to Bentota.
Perfect hosts, perfect room, perfect breakfast Absolutely fabulous
Nothing
We felt like we were at auntie and uncle's house! Everything was thought of in the room! Each floor was decorated with local products and had cozy sitting areas. We were given restaurant suggestions and walked across the road to find sun beds on the beach. Our hosts were so easy to chat with and were so willing to help take us to a local restaurant as well as come with umbrellas to the beach to walk us 'home' in a rainstorm. Like: warmly greeted by hosts; presented with a flower lei and a King coconut welcome drink; very clean and spacious room with high ceilings; balcony with table and chairs as well as 2 lounge chairs; 4 pillows; fresh flowers and leaves scattered throughout the room; electrical outlets on both sides of bed; on third floor; wardrobe has hangars; room is furnished great thought; hosts are amazing - they took us to restaurant in their tuk tuk and came to beach with umbrellas to rescue us in a rainstorm; large, thick, soft towels; shower has very hot water and strong water pressure; local touches: clay vases, woven grass mats and baskets; lamps on each side of bed; extra blanket in the wardrobe; breakfast: passionfruit juice, diverse fruit plate, yogurt with honey, eggs of your choice and a variety plate with 5 different Sriracha Lankan local foods - a beautiful and delicious spread
There was nothing!🙂
Perfect guest house, very clean and meticulously tidy.
Everything was great.
The guests were so kind, they really took care of me. The room is big, clean and comfy with a great balcony. And the breakfast was amazing. I was sad not to be able to stay longer.
Everything! This was the loveliest, most charming and best hosted accommodation of our 2 weeks in Sri Lanka. The owners were incredibly kind and have created a little paradise behind their lovely entrance gate. We were very warmly welcomed with a cold fresh fruit drink and a necklace of hibiscus. The room was large and beautifully decorated, with the added charm of hibiscus flowers scattered on the bed and in the bathroom! They have access to a gorgeous beach just a 3 minute walk away where the ocean is actually swimmable! The breakfast they served us included a wide range of beautifully prepared fruit and our choice of eggs - we had a Sri Lankan style omelette that was delicious. We had an equally warm goodbye when we left and consider the hospitality here amongst the best we have experienced in our very expansive travels. We would 150% recommend this wonderful guest house!
Not a thing - it was amazing!
Hospitality
A super warm welcome from an incredibly hospitable host, exceptionally clean room, and a truly wonderful breakfast made this stay unforgettable!
It’s a bit far from restaurants, but the host kindly offered free tuk-tuk rides to make up for it
cosy but spacious ac’d rooms with a flower flanked balcony. very clean facility in general including a groomed garden entrance. the hosts greeted us very warmly with flower necklace and a coconut welcome drink. the breakfast was also great and actually way too much but a takeaway bag was already prepared. in general the atmosphere stayed as good, when we arrived and we’ve also been driven to and picked up from a nearby restaurant.
we only had time to stay for one night.
Exceptional property with equally amazing hosts. Both Nishanthi & Wasantha were spoiling us with utmost comfort and hospitality. The entire property is so well decorated with artifacts that you feel like living in an Art Gallery. The breakfast was equally sumptuous, served in a private balcony attached to each bedroom. Wasantha would even take us to nearby places in his tuk-tuk as a complimentary gesture. Even the local beach it just across the road (hardly 100 meters).
Absolutely nothing to say :)
Spacious without too many rooms. Balcony is beautiful and very well maintained. Feels very secure, immaculately clean and is a nice place to spend time in itself. The hosts are incredibly welcoming, attentive and kind. Their generosity and daily care is unmatched. I was driven around the area, recommended and taken to restaurants, lent slippers, cooked breakfast, offered transport, picked up from places, given bug spray… Could not have asked for a better stay or company. Thank you!
Lovely hosts that were attentive and helpful. Genuinely good people. There is a delicious and wide spread for breakfast. Quiet location by the beach and the entire home is so delicately and thoughtfully put together. It's filled with house plants and decor that really add to the aesthetic and wonderful location. A must visit staycation if you plan on visiting Bentota and would like to save costs but also meet amazing people.
Nothing to mention. At all!
The hosts were so nice and welcoming they went far and beyond to make me feel comfortable
The breakfast was incredible. Lots of options and the amount of food is even enough to have lunch afterwards
The hosts really went out of their way to make sure you were comfortable and had everything you needed, decorated the room beautifully with flowers etc and a lovely welcome drink. They were always available to help, and offered me transport to/from the Ayurveda Center, organized dinner to be delivered. The room was meticulously clean, had air conditioning , the balcony was so private, the breakfast was bought to me on the balcony every morning - and the breakfast food was exceptional. Would highly recommend staying here.
An extraordinary place—warm, inviting, and impeccably clean. I absolutely love it here! I met wonderful people who were incredibly helpful and genuinely friendly.
Everything. Great, cozy and very clean room, amazing and super kind hosts, cute cats and a nice beach just 2 minutes away. The breakfast was a lot of incredible food. In our 3.5 weeks in Sri Lanka this was the best place we had. Thank you so much!
Nothing, it was just amazing.
Delicious breakfast 😋 Spacious rooms Great host Nishanti and Wasanta

Impeccable
The cozy rooms with on-suite. The balconies with jungle in pots. The lovely breakfasts. Cleanliness. The friendliness of the hosts.
Very welcoming owner, nice people! Very well decorated room, very clean and a Wonderful Breakfast ! We recommend these hosts and their very beautiful house
Very well looked after, spacious and clean rooms. Nice big breakfast. Close to the beach. The owners are very welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend. Thank you
The hosts were warm and welcoming. They made our stay comfortable and ensured we had all we needed. Exceptional hospitality from Nishanti and Wasanth, considering it was the first leg of our trip in SL. The Lotus room was spacious with storage, dresser, equipped with facilities like pincoded locker, mosquito nets, tissues, towels, hair dryer, and tidy. The bathroom was big and clean with running hot water. The breakfast was sumptuous and delicious with fresh fruits, fresh fruit juices, Sri Lankan delicacies and a choice of eggs & toast. The staff looking after the guest house were excellent and catered to our needs. Wasanth even offered to drop off & pick us up from the nearest restaurant for dinner, in his tuktuk, on a rainy night. I would recommend staying with them if you're ever in Bentota!
Nothing to comment.
At the Sri Lancashire Guest House we were once again able to experience what hospitality and devotion mean in Sri Lanka. Unfortunately we were only able to enjoy the friendliness and warmth for a short time as we had to travel on. But in this short time we felt completely at home! Everything was decorated with a lot of love and was rounded off by the flowers scattered everywhere. Thank you so much for everything!
The host are so kindly and helped us with everything. Very very good breakfast and very beautiful furnishings and decoration in the room. The beach is nice. We surely will come back.
My 2 night stay with Nishanti and Wasantha is surely an unforgettable one. They welcomed me with a garland of fresh flowers and a welcome drink which was so nice. The room was so clean and also nicely decorated with flowers which surely expresses the love and dedication in creating great satsfaction to their customers. Wasantha also came checking on me to see if I'm ok since she didn't see me for a while. So many thanks for your care, attention and a wonderful stay🙏
Everything was perfect! So friendly, helpful and just all around wonderful. The breakfast was a dream, the nearby beach was clean and beautiful. Thank you for a great start of our trip!
Amazing attention to detail and an exceptionally warm welcome. The owners Nishante and Wasanrha set the bar very high. They decorate the room upon arrival, which was an amazing large double room with wrap around balcony and ample seating. Huge bathroom and toiletries provided. Flannels. Towels. A real home from home.
Location is a little out of the way but Wasanrha is brilliant and will assist with transport via Tuk tuk. Only a few minutes drive to the main Bentota town.
Nice communications and great service.
Driver recommended is quite nice but not cheap.
It was an amazing experience. Definitly, one of the best stays for me that I'll remember. They've put efforts in making sure every small detail is taken came of. Food, hospitality and overall ambience was excellent. They’re the best hosts. I'll definetly be coming back here. Thank you Nishanti
Some people go the extra mile, but our hosts went much further than that. Absolutely lovely. Amazing customer service. Super friendly. Fabulous room and the best vibe you can imagine. Stop looking at tue fake reviews and book this one. Aah, i forgot to mention the prime location. This is paradise!
Nothing at all. Perfect meaning perfect.
We enjoyed 7 nights here. The breakfasts were amazing, and filled us up for the rest of the day - some days we didn't even have a second meal! You get free sunbeds under shade on the beach over the road and we spent 3-4 hours there most days. The bed was really comfortable, it was helpful having a mosquito net around it, and we made the most of the Aircon and the ceiling fan. The little touches in the room and outside were really thoughtful, with beautiful room flower arrangements every time the room was cleaned! The hosts willingly share recommendations for eateries and shops, and offer transport if needed too. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and would highly recommend staying here.
