We spent 10 wonderful days at Sri Villas Hotel in March this year and were absolutely thrilled! The hotel is beautiful, spotlessly clean, and lovingly decorated. It has a very cozy, homely feel — you instantly feel at home the moment you arrive. The service was definitely the highlight of our stay. The staff are incredibly warm, attentive, and provide a truly high standard of hospitality. No matter what you need, they’re always there with a smile and happy to help. The food was another standout. The chefs are excellent, offering a great selection of delicious dishes. Especially the breakfast was a daily highlight — fresh fruit every morning, a choice of sweet and savory dishes, international classics and local Sri Lankan specialties. Simply amazing! The hotel’s location is right by the ocean, with a quiet, peaceful beach that’s rarely crowded. The sea itself can be a bit rough, but it didn’t bother us at all — it’s the perfect place to relax and unwind. Another plus is that the hotel is very well located — just a short TukTuk ride away from great sights and attractions in the area. We would come back any time — it’s an absolutely dreamy spot to disconnect from everyday stress and enjoy the island to the fullest.

Everything was perfect! The property was spotlessly clean and the food was amazing. Amazing pool and located right on an awesome beach. We almost had the beach to ourselves. The staff were wonderful and nothing was too much trouble. We chose the bed and breakfast option which was great and we loved the idea that we were able to choose a different breakfast each morning from the menu which wasn't a buffet. We ate at the property every night but one. The seafood platter with lobster was incredible! Everything was very well priced. Would totally recommend a visit.

Nothing, could not fault anything at all about our stay.

The wonderful views from our balcony, the beautiful beach and the fantastic staff made this a lovely stay. Our House Boy was brilliant - bring us chilled water and fresh towels as soon as we returned from a trip out; he prepared meals for us remembering our dietary preferences and was always available but unobtrusive with a smile on his face - nothing was too much trouble, even organising a late check out for us. He made us feel special and pampered which was the perfect end to our holiday.

The rooms are a little jaded and in need of a makeover. There is paint peeling off the balcony doors which were very stiff to open with loose glass and no outside handle which made opening from the balcony difficult. Some of the tea tray jars were dirty rimmed and the room needed a fresh coat of paint. For the cost of the accommodation I would not expect the rooms to be so tired.

This was our third visit. The location is excellent if you want to get away from it. lovely beach front with great views and sunsets from the upper floors. The staff are outstanding and really look after you. the food is also excellent and they are very flexible if you have specific requests in advance.

Small Point- Property needs a little maintenance here and there, but the mgmt were very receptive to feedback and started working on some areas immediately. The main road can be a little noisy, but this is the case for almost all coastal properties on this side of the island.

We were greeted with the warmest of welcomes. Our villa was stunning with wonderful sea views. So unique, spacious, stylish and very comfortable. The staff and food were the best we had experienced in our month of traveling in Sri Lanka. Outstanding and utterly charming. The beach was so quiet and although the waves too big to swim in the sound of the waves were so lovely to listen to. We did a day trip to Galle but otherwise found the villa difficult to leave.

The room (king suit with sea view) was amazing, beautiful, luxury, clean. The staff attentive, smiling, always notes details about your preferences and makes your stay so comfortable and unforgettable. For example, when we stayed in swimming pool chairs for a long time, they moved the board with dinner options there (so you do not need to ask for a menu). This was so attentive from their side. We had 2 guys in our villa only for us. No other people were there. You feel like a king)

My overall experience does not let me put here any details that I did not like. Everything is good for me.

Location was fabulous 🤩 wonderful place, directly at the sea. I had also birthday during our stay and the hotel staff prepared a wonderful dinner right at the sea, with Prosecco and wonderful decoration (it was a surprise: they wrote “Happy Birthday” and my name with little stones - very accurate and with details) and a cake special for me (they need to buy it outside!) It was really a wonderful stay :-)

Everything was fine.

Sri Villa was the perfect stay when in Bentota for three days. The staff were really attentive and friendly. Breakfast was delicious and had a wide range of options. Swimming pool was a good size and looked into the beach and sea. Room was very clean and styled well. Balcony looked onto the sea. The hotel arranged transport for us whenever we needed it, no stress at all. Jerome, the manager, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful and his English was amazing. We had an issue with a previous hotel where they owed us money but couldn’t send it to an international bank. Jerome went out of his way to help us solve this issue and it took a lot of pressure and stress off us so we could enjoy our holiday. We really appreciate the help he gave us. If we were to return to Sri Lanka we would definitely stay here.

A coffee machine would be a great addition to the villa. A full length mirror and robes would be nice in the room.

Located on the most beautiful pristine unspoilt beach. Lovely gardens and pool and we were upgraded very kindly to a fabulous room with a view of the garden and beach. Breakfast choice was great as were the two evening meals we had made all the more memorable as we ate at a table under a palm tree with candles and lanterns, magical. The staff here are exceptionally charming, attentive and kind and we felt totally pampered

Nothing

Breakfast was plentiful, tasty and well prepared, the service was thoughtful and helpful. The private beach is a plus, though the seas undertow is very strong here. Lovely sandy beach, shade from palm trees and a good length pool made relaxation a real pleasure. The property is close to some good restaurants though you will need transport to get to them.

Some decor needs a refresh, and the evening menu could be more varied
