Do not stay here !!! It is a awful hotel!
The hotel is one of the worst hotels we have stayed in. I have been to this hotel as a child and it was a fantastic hotel back then but now its gone down so much! The room was dirty and had a terrible smell.The room looked like it wasn't clean for years. We complained to the manager and he move us to another room and it was also very dirty and my partner showed the manager the dirty parts of the room and the manager agreed that the room is not clean. The manager said that he could upgrade us to a better room but they are fully booked and we will need to stay in the room that was dirty for one night. since it was only one night we said that its ok. The manager got housekeeping to clean the room but they didnt do a great job. The following day we were very sick ( we are still recovering ) because the aircon was full of dirt and dust and possibly bacteria. This ruined our holiday!!! We didnt get the room change till 5pm the next day even though we were promised first thing in the morning after breakfast. The food was tasteless and the breakfast was not good. We will never stay in this hotel again. It is a shame because the pool and beach areas are wonderful.

Not worth the money
Older building and basic rooms. My reservation was for a king bed room, but only a room with three singles was offered on arrival. WiFi did not work in our wing of the hotel. Would not recommend.

The food and service was great. Need to improve on room facility and practicality especially cleanliness. Beds were old and linen was discolored.we asked for 2 double rooms one of the rooms had a third bed which unrestricted the space. One bathroom did not have a shower cubicle or shower curtain. Floors got wet after a shower.

Not upto a 4 Star hotel service. Long delays
Check-in was delayed even though we arrived after 6.00p.m. The Staff does not pay attention to detail. The Hotel does NOT provide Tooth Brush/ Toiletry items as standard issue with room booked. One has to request and then wait 20 minutes until someone brings it, especially when the rooms are away from reception area. Also, the Restaurant capacities and service was very poor. Long delays at the MEZZ restaurant & Fire was having a private function. The in-house guests do not have convenient dining as few seats.

Poor behavior in the reception
Our stay at Bentota Beach started with the staff in the reception being really unfriendly and stating that we don't have a room booked, not until we get them to call Hotels.com do they admit that they have one, however, they don't have a room for us. All in all the wasted more than an hour for us before they told us to come back later in the afternoon. When we got back the service was still poor and they started lying and stating that we are upgrading you to a premium room for the inconvenience, however, that was just bs because we got exactly the room we were suppose to have the whole time, just poorly handled. The hotel it self is fresh and close to the beach with a nice pool. The guys done by the parking were friendly and provided good service. I would not recommend this place, it is not worth the cost with the poor service you get.

Good hotel but not so good experience
The stay was okay. The hotel is well maintained and fun to stay at but staff are not that welcoming. During check in, bookings.com made a mistake and did not send our confirmation to the hotel which caused us to stay about 3 hours at the reception waiting for the confirmation and the receptionist was not that friendly and proactive.

Good place to chill!
We were in room 801...it was one of the oldest rooms in the hotel and it showed. The room needs a makeover and especially the bathroom. I have put this down as a comment at the hotel as well and hope that it will be looked into. The hotel on the whole is a really nice place and the staff is really helpful. I would definitely go back...but maybe stay in a different room :-)

Very Poor Experience at Bentota Beach Hotel
Very disappointing, run down hotel. Certainly not 4-star. Room had cockroaches, leaky shower - into the bathroom and bedroom! Beds were good. Hotel reception and buffet staff were unhelpful and uninterested. The only place we got good food and service was in the a-la-carte restaurant. Buffet restaurant had poor food and was dirty. Most waiters could not speak or understand English. The grounds are very well maintained and the beach location is lovely.

Only good thing is the price
Nice hotel at a reasonable price, but I rate it bad due to three things: 1) We got bad food. Twice, the bacon was to old (dinner and breakfast buffet). In the former case, the restaurant did not do anything about it. In the later, I did not give them the chance 2) We forgot our swimming glasses on our last day due to a very fast bad rain. The reception had called pool attendant several times and talked to hum, but he had not seem them. I chose to walk their and verify this. He had not been called and he knew exactly where they were in the lost-and-found 3) Everything seems to be close to falling part. The power went 3 - 4 times a day

Great hotel designed within a big rock
Hotel is now out dated, location is nice, needs major refurbishment. When we made the booking they said van driver gets meal and accommodation FOC. At the end driver had to pay for meals, and accommodation atrocious.
