The Villa Bentota by KK Collection

I booked for sunset drinks to celebrate boyfriends birthday! Didn’t expect the service level we have recieved. Private intimate table with beautiful views, watched the sunset and the food was so great… we had a walk around the boutique hotel it looks super lovely and I would love to say to stay there one day . I would like to thank everyone for making the birthday so special

This hotel absolutely goes above and beyond. Our trip was actually in Sept 2023 and our stay at this hotel was exceptional. Of particular note is the fact that I left my Kindle there and returned to the UK. The hotel did it's best to send it to me but because of the battery the carriers wouldn't take it. I never expected to see it again. Yet when a manager was in the UK recently he personally brought it across and put in the local post! So over 18 months later I'm reunited with it. Amazing!

This hotel was a great find. The buildings and grounds are beautiful. The room was spacious and a nice touch was the towel peacock that welcomed us. The food was tasty and the service friendly and efficient. As with most properties in the area the railway runs nearby which was a concern until we realised that they trains are not frequent and did not disturb out sleep. Exiting the rear of the property you can cross the railway line and be on the beach in minutes - that is if the grounds and two swimming pools are not enough for you.

Best Customer Service ever. We had the whole place rented out together with friends and family. The location is superb. Very beautiful and attention to detail is just stunning. The staff was so attentive and responsive I have never ever had this anywhere I have been. Gardinal was taking care of all the allergies and dietary desires etc. and was always on top of things regarding our needs and wishes. The food was superb rooms very clean and all in all the stay totally worth it. Not one single guest had something to complain. Would recommend 10/10

Five star, elegantly civilised experience.||From the moment we entered the gates and were welcomed with a big smile by the guard, I felt welcomed, cared for and at home in the stunning surroundings. ||The service was faultless. A boutique hotel where every detail, from the iced water by the pool. The limited rooms, the proximity to the most stunning beach and the excellent breakfast, well made cocktails and beautiful artwork and utterly architectural digest worthy chic decor. I could have stayed for far longer and will be back.||Also, the spa… I had a Ayurvedic massage by a lady who was spectacular. Best I’ve ever had. ||Thank you to the whole team for creating a little paradise.

We held our two day wedding at the villa bentota in february 2025. it was everything we ever dreamed. whilst the venue is obviously stunning and had enough rooms for our immediate family as well as different landscapes for different events (lawn, mangroves, beach), the standouts were the staff - everyone was so friendly, warm, welcoming and approachable from the planning stage through to the clean up and aftermath. they really looked after us and we were a considerable crowd of 140 people! kalpa in particular was our point of contact throughout and he along with chamodh, the new food and beverage lead and chef were excellent. |i should also mention the food and drink - we wanted a completely sri lankan menu and sent them a proposed menu which included buffet, sit down meal, canapes and cocktails - they blew us out the water regarding our requests (including my mum who is hard to impress!). the food was delicious as well as authentic for our international guests and interesting and different for our sri lankan guests. the chef and his team are truly talented and we are so so so happy we chose kk for our wedding venue. they - along with Hemant Dadlani wedding planners - helped to bring our dream wedding to life and showcase the best of Sri Lanka - people, food, drink, music. thankyou!

Was here for a wedding not so long ago. The service and the folks working here were second to none. Truly great. However for the price point I’m not sure this hotel delivers. The room was ok, but nothing extraordinary. The hotel also sits right beside the railway lines… and so like a scene from ‘My Cousin Vinny’ at 4am every morning a train blast through, horn and all! No closed windows or aircon will mask that noise, Oooff! And the idea that someone being woken at 4am by a freight train was charming is laughable.

Absolutely loved staying here. The Villa is architecturally beautiful, and the rooms/suites are very spacious, comfortable and with each of them having their own large balcony or outdoor area to and enjoy the weather or a drink. The place is big enough not to run into any other guests (other than at the restaurant). The grounds are extensive with plenty of spots to soak up the sun, including by the charming pool. The beach is a short walk away and was one of the least crowded I've come across on the island (perhaps it was the time of year: April/May). It was relatively clean, with areas where the undercurrent wasn't too strong. The food, both local and international, was of high standard, and the drinks/cocktails menu wuite extensive. The staff are a great asset to this place. Their service was excellent, very attentive, and they were always willing to help. There is an active train track close to the property, which some may find an inconvenience. I thought it added to the overall experience and something that is relatively common in Sri Lanka. I would definitely return here on future trips to the island.
