“Exceeded expectation”
The property is in an excellent location, and the room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The owners were extremely friendly and kind, making us feel very welcome throughout our stay. Although there is no in-house restaurant, they thoughtfully provided all the necessary cooking facilities in the room, which was very convenient. They were always ready to offer help whenever needed. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and a very pleasant experience.

“Beautiful guesthouse in a peaceful location with lovely hosts”
Absolutely wonderful place to stay. A family run business that really cares about its guests - the owners couldn't do enough for us. Our ground floor room was spacious and very clean and looked out onto part of the gorgeous and beautifully maintained garden. We liked having a little kitchen where we could do basic meal preparation. The swimming pool is small but sparkling clean and was greatly appreciated as a way to cool down in such high temperatures. The guesthouse is in a quiet area, a good 20 minute walk from the beach, but it was easy to get a tuk tuk. We spent six days here and it was the perfect ending to our seven week trip.

“Great place to stay”
Spotlessly clean, very comfortable and nicely decorated room - I can see why River Breeze get so many good reviews. The value for money is outstanding. I had the bedroom with a little sitting room and kitchen and a really nice bathroom. The owners are lovely and helpful and the swimming pool and garden area are lovely and also spotlessly clean. Location is very quiet but just 2 or 3 km to the busier areas and the beach. Highly recommended.

“Great value for money”
That was my first booking in Sri Lanka and now I know it was one of the best, the cleanest and well kept places. The friendly owner welcomed me with a fresh juice, she helped me arrange tuk tuk rides when I struggled to do so in the app. The room was super spacious and clean, same goes for the bathroom. There is a mini kitchenette there as well with kettle, sink and fridge. The location is very peacful and only 10 minutes away from the more bustling center of Bentota.

“A real shame we only had one night here”
We had a suite which was comfirtable. Breakfast was served on the balcony and was fabulous. Ruchira could not do enough for us. This warm lovely woman organised tuc tucs for us Sorted out a river safari., negotiated with a Uber for drive to airportWe had a late flight and in addition to keeping our cases invited us to use the pool and allowed us use of a shower room immediately prior to departure. She actually said that if she had not been full (she has 5 rooms), we could have remained in ours until departure

“Gorgeous place to stay in Bentota!”
One of the nicest stays we had in Sri Lanka. Staff were extremely helpful & attentive. We got given lovely juice on arrival and also another day while sitting out enjoying the pool which was a nice touch! Room was massive with a kitchen and well designed bathroom included, plus a comfortable bed. Their dog Theo is such a dote too! An early morning safari tour was also organised for us which was very good. Would definitely recommend here to others when visiting Bentota! Thank you for a gorgeous stay 😊

“Lovely, warm and welcoming people (including Theo the dog)”
My girlfriend and me had a lovely stay-over, it was one night before she did the Skydive in Bentota and it was exactly what we needed. Clean, welcoming, and a lovely dog named Theo. I'd recommend this :)

Hospitality of the owner.They treat you like family whatever we have requested for Ruchira and her family have kept the request. The rooms were cleaned and the pool was super clean. Ruchira has also helped us to book river safari, the person was too genuine and made our day happy. I will visit this place again bcz of the owner and apartment.
