If you're looking for a place that offers more than just a bed for the night — a place that genuinely feels like home — then this lovely homestay in Bentota is an absolute gem. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and sincerity by the hosts, whose kindness and attentiveness set the tone for a truly memorable stay. They are not only wonderful people but also incredibly accommodating, ensuring that every aspect of the experience is tailored to your comfort.
The atmosphere of the property is tranquil and welcoming, perfect for unwinding after a day exploring the beach, river, or nearby temples. Rooms are clean, cosy, and tastefully arranged, and there’s an unmistakable sense of care in every detail — from the way the beds are made to the thoughtful touches around the common areas.
But what truly elevates this homestay is the food. It is, quite simply, outstanding. Each meal is a celebration of Sri Lankan home cooking — bursting with flavour, freshness, and made with evident love. Whether it’s a traditional rice and curry spread or a simple breakfast of hoppers and sambol, every dish was deeply satisfying.
I highly recommend speaking with the hosts about your spice preferences before meals, as Sri Lankan cuisine can be quite fiery for those unaccustomed. That said, the hosts are incredibly considerate and will gladly adjust the spice level to suit your palate without compromising on taste. They are more than happy to explain the ingredients and even share cooking tips if you're interested.
In every way, this homestay offers an experience that goes beyond what you’d expect from typical accommodation — it offers warmth, heart, and a chance to connect with genuine Sri Lankan hospitality. I wouldn’t hesitate to return and will be recommending it to all my friends and family seeking a peaceful, personal, and truly homely...
