Mango Tree Villa Bentota

This is the best hotel I’ve stay in Sri Lanka. The staffs are really friendly and helpful! The swimming pool is clean, I could saw they clean it up in the morning. They even provide you the towel for swimming. The room is very clean and tidy. Highly recommended.

A very much needed, chilled out 4 day stay after being in Kandy for a few nights. Beautiful, modern and spacious rooms. Fantastic pool and surrounding gardens. Enjoyed the fresh fruits with breakfast each morning to go with the eggs and sausage! 1 minute walk to the beach. The owner Luke has cultivated a really nice, relaxing and chilled place to unwind. Absolutely loved our stay.

Huge disappointment and unreasonably highly charged! We initially booked the hotel for 3 nights but left after 2 because this place couldn’t be further from a relaxing holiday. Upon arrival, we were offered an 'upgraded' room for an extra charge, and only after agreeing and paying were we casually informed, ‘oh, there’s a train track right behind the fence.’ While a couple of trains a day wouldn't have been a problem, the trains passed every 30-60 minutes, from 6 AM until 10:30 PM. The room itself was decent—spacious and clean—but the constant noise and vibrations made it impossible to sleep. The pool area was poorly maintained, with dirty sunbeds and water full of leaves and bugs—no sign of cleaning. Breakfast was overpriced, with just one slice of cucumber and one slice of tomato on the plate, and the restaurant food was average. The ground-floor room had large windows, and staff constantly walked by, making us feel exposed. When we arrived, four staff members stood around us, watching as we checked in, which was very uncomfortable. Finally, they refused to refund for the third night, claiming it’s their policy, but couldn’t provide any proof—this policy was never mentioned anywhere. They offered a room change, but even 10 more meters wouldn’t have fixed the awful experience from the first night. What this place truly lacks is honest communication and an understanding of guests’ discomforts. Instead of focusing on improving the experience, they seem more interested in overcharging.
