Guest Reviews

• Mathias (9/5): Absolutely enjoyable - Anyone who orders a breakfast can expect a hearty meal, including different fruits and a freshly squeezed fruit juice. I particularly enjoyed the view of the wide river delta. Especially recommended is a boat tour on the river.
• Isabelle (10/5): - Gros coup de cœur pour cette famille qui nous ont très bien accueillis. Très bien placé au bord de la lagune. Petit déjeuner copieux et délicieux !
• Jan (9/5): - Sehr nette Familie als Gastgeber, die Lage der Unterkunft am Fluss mit Frühstück direkt am Wasser ist sehr schön, auch der Strand ist fußläufig erreichbar. Bootstour mit Nicolas ist sehr zu empfehlen.
• William (10/5): Great value stay - nothing missing. - View of river, welcome drink, quietness, comfy bed, hot water, a/c, tuk-tuk service, friendliness of host family. We didn't have any meals or river trips. Nothing.
• Shahab (10/5): Clean, beautiful view, nice people - It has a perfect good view and I enjoyed a lot. And owners are really nice and kind and supportive.
• Raúl (10/5): Sitio genial, muy recomendable - La ubicación es estupenda, la amabilidad de la familia y la hospitalidad nos ha encantado. Nos recibieron con un par de zumos recién hechos naturales. El desayuno es muy abundante, de lo mejor que hemos tomado en nuestros 11 dias en Sri Lanka y las vistas y el relax también, ojalá hubiéramos podido quedarnos más . Todo fue bien
• Aleksandra (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing stay! We stayed in the villa for the second time. Always nice to come back!
• Elise (10/5): Great place! - We had a lovely stay at Mahi Villa. The host and family were very nice and we enjoyed our boat trip too. Highly recommend you’ll feel like family
• Philip (9/5): Superb - Comfortable room, great location and friendly helpful staff.
• Maureen (10/5): Wonderfully friendly family and very helpful - Wonderful room with a view with everything you may need. My needs very well taken care of. Thanks
• Ac (10/5): A warm and welcoming family-run guesthouse with excellent hospitality, a peaceful riverside location - We had an amazing stay at this super friendly, family-run guesthouse! From the moment we booked, the hosts communicated promptly and clearly through WhatsApp, making everything easy and stress-free. They even offered a complimentary pickup from the train station, which was such a thoughtful gesture and really set the tone for the rest of our stay. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed with a refreshing drink—such a nice touch after a long journey! The room was spotless and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and relaxing space. We also had the option to add air conditioning for an extra 500 rupees per night, which was well worth it given the warm weather. The location is perfect—nestled right by the river in a peaceful and serene setting, making it ideal for unwinding and soaking in the natural beauty. Despite being in a tranquil area, it was still conveniently close to everything we needed. Overall, this guesthouse exceeded our expectations in every way. The hospitality of the family running it truly made us feel at home, and I would highly recommend staying here to anyone visiting the area. We would absolutely love to come back in the future! A bit slow WiFi, but other than that, everything was very good!
• Robin (9/5): Superb - Friendly staff, felt like home instantly and the dinner is really tasty. Recommend
• Anne (8/5): Very good -
• Aleksandr (9/5): Superb -
• Anne (9/5): Superb - Absolutely stunning views, especially at sunset time. A short bike ride from the beach. My room was very clean and comfortable. The family is so nice and will do everything to help you. Did the river safari and it was great! I’ll definitely come back if I’m in Bentota again.
• Jakob (8/5): Very good - I had a very nice time at the Mahi villa, it is a clean comfortable place directly at the river. There is a floating platform on the river to have breakfast, read and work (if you want to).
• Max (10/5): Would highly recommend if you plan on staying in Bentota. - The staff and the owner were really kind and helped us with all our needs. The location is quiet and beautiful. The Breakfast was really good and we had an amazing fish curry. We also booked a boat tour and saw a lot of animals. Nothing
• Annechien (9/5): Lovely place with an amazing view! - The location is the best: overlooking the river and feeling the breeze as you chill on the balcony. The owners are very friendly and helpful.
• Ash (9/5): Gorgeous riverside stay 🩷 - Such a beautiful home right on the river. The family who runs this homestay are incredibly kind and went out of their way to make us comfortable. The daily breakfast was plentiful and delicious, consisting of omelettes, bread, fruit, fresh juice and tea or coffee. The balcony was a beautiful place to watch the sunset and the room included access to a little kitchen with a kettle so we could make our own pots of tea and coffee. It was the perfect place to rest and explore Bentota. The shower pressure was quite low
• Behrooz (8/5): Very good -
• Duvignacq (9/5): Amazing time with amazing people - Great hosts, amazing time there, great views. It was great
• Ofir (10/5): Exceptional - The room clean amazing vyue to the river The family helping and very nice.the best Vila in bantota
• Jacqui (10/5): 5 star accommodation without the price tag! - Excellent stay, highly recommended. The host Ganga and her team were exceptionally hospitable and saw to our every need with coffee brought to our room as soon as they knew we were awake, delicious breakfast, very clean and spacious bedroom with a shared kitchen for us to use if needed. We really enjoyed being by the river on their pontoon with a cool breeze and plenty of wildlife to observe. Also, we arrived late on a Sunday hungry and tired and Ganga went out of her way to cook a much appreciated delicious omelette and a pot of coffee. Out of our 5 week travels through Sri Lanka this is one of our top 3 stays, very good value for money. 5* accommodation without the price tag!
• Carine (10/5): Nice hotel in river front - The family received us after a late booking. They were really helpful and nice. The balcony and the view on the river are perfect to start the day. We would come back !
• Nataliia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ambroz (9/5): I was only here for two days as a stop over, but right from the start I was welcomed Mahi Villa is a family run villa - Location and hospitality Shared bathroom… would have preferred en-suite . As it happens it was not an issue .
