The Villa Bentota by KK Collection

We absolutely loved our stay at The Villa Bentota. The Villa and its grounds are of course beautiful, we loved the train, and the beach is just amazing. But the best thing about the whole stay was your delightful and extremely friendly and helpful staff. They could not have been more helpful or more welcoming. Of course, the other thing we have to mention is the food - absolutely delicious. Best curries we have had anywhere! Loved it so much we are coming back next year.

Beautiful Villa designed by a famous Sri Lankan architect with wonderful grounds. The staff are amazing and the food is delicious. A very relaxing stay with direct access to the beach over the railway line with is at the bottom of the garden. Several beach bars within walking distance. Wonderful artwork. Would definitely recommend and would stay again if we are ever in the area.

The Villa Bentota by KK Collection is a stunning property with a serene and elegant vibe. Our room was absolutely gorgeous - very spacious, tastefully decorated, and came with a huge outdoor sitting area which was truly the highlight of our stay. It’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the calm surroundings.||The location is slightly tucked in from the main road, but still quite manageable and adds to the peaceful feel of the place.||The only downside was the breakfast - it was quite limited, with only two set options to choose from and no real buffet apart from some bread and a few fruits. For a property of this standard, we expected a bit more variety and quality in the breakfast spread.||Overall, a lovely stay for those looking for a stylish and tranquil getaway, with just a little room for improvement in the dining experience.

First time back at the Villa since our wedding here in 2024. Greeted with open arms from all the staff members and very well taken care of. The food/beverage quality remains spectacular and has not missed a beat. The Villa was spotless. Our room was very unique and comfortable with a very strong AC unit. The Villa feels just like home and will be a tradition every time we visit Sri Lanka.

We celebrated our wedding at Villa Bentota, and honestly, we could not have chosen a more beautiful or special place. From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized, and the entire team made us feel welcome, relaxed, and truly cared for. A special thank you to Mr. Kalpa, who played such an important role in making our day unforgettable. His dedication, professionalism, and warm personality made all the difference. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, the rooms were wonderful, and the food was absolutely amazing. Our guests also shared overwhelmingly positive feedback — everyone felt comfortable, well looked after, and deeply impressed by the atmosphere and the stunning location. Villa Bentota is simply a breathtaking place that will always remain in our hearts. Thank you again for giving us memories we will cherish forever 🤍

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights in December 2025, along with two other couples. The property is beautiful, with two swimming pools (one longer one that was perfect for swimming), a lovely outside patio for breakfast and dinner. The rooms are nicely decorated with strong air conditioning which is much needed given the heat outside. Hats off to the chef who planned the menu - great choices, wonderful flavours and beautifully presented on the plate. The staff are exceptional. The beach in front of the hotel is beautiful but there is a rip tide so swimming is not recommended, but you can walk further down the beach for a better swimming spot. Some people might be disturbed by the trains that come by occasionally between the hotel and the beach starting around 6 am but they move past quickly. I would have given it 5 stars for location if the train tracks weren’t so close by. Overall we really enjoyed spending our last two days in Sri Lanka here.

We had a wonderful experience arranging guest accommodation here for our wedding celebrations on the 5th and 6th of February. Our guests absolutely loved the property, the warm hospitality, and the opportunity to truly experience the beauty of Sri Lanka during their stay. The team was professional, responsive, and very easy to work with throughout the coordination process, which made hosting multiple guests seamless and stress-free for us. Thank you for helping make our wedding celebrations even more special. We would highly recommend this property to anyone planning a destination wedding

This was the worst hotel experience of my life. We booked the hotel by phone, but never saw the room. They didn't send us any booking confirmation. When we arrived at the hotel at 8:30 pm, they asked us to pay first. Because we trusted the hotel, they asked us to pay in full before showing us the room. We’ve been into room only 5 seconds and immediately told the reception staff who show us the room that we don’t like this room, we would like to change other room, they says change to a higher room at an extra cost. Therefore, we asked for a refund because we were not satisfied with the room. They insisted on not refunding us and told us it was up to us whether we wanted to stay or not. We didn't use anything inside the room and our luggage is still in the lobby. This is said to be the worst hotel experience of my life. They refused to resolve the issue or provide a refund, and when the front desk manager came later, he just argued with us and forced us to accept the terms. This is an early Bawa-designed hotel, later leased and operated by a British designer. While the excellent design was continued, the service attitude of the management team was truly regrettable! Dear Mr. Cooper, please be aware of dampness due to its seaside location; there is dampness on the walls. They refuse to refund guests who are not satisfied, and their attitude is forceful, strongly suggesting racial discrimination. They are extremely kind to Europeans and Americans of white skin, but treat Asians as if it's up to them to stay but no refund. Furthermore, They spoke with their colleagues in the local language in front of us on several occasions. His expression revealed mockery. We thought that want to have a good stay in bawa hotel, but this is the way they treat the guests.
