The Villa Bentota by KK Collection

The staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive, offering outstanding service. The accommodation has wonderful gardens, pools, and spacious, chic rooms. Its location near the beach and train line provides a charming experience.

We had our 2 day wedding at Villa Bentota by KK collection. We cannot put into words how perfect this venue was for our wedding. We used different parts of the complex for different parts of the wedding which gave each part a different unique experience. The outdoor space was spacious and very well kept. To walk over the train tracks to get to the beach gave an authentic feel to the whole thing. All the rooms very amazing. They were constantly kept clean, water bottles and filtered water available throughout the property. Great menu options from Sri Lankan dishes to western dishes. The beach is also very beautiful and generally quiet. It’s perfect for our beach ceremony. Staff were so attentive and went the extra mile for us and every guest. Everything they did was with a smile which just made everyone feel so welcome. Big shout out to Mr Ruwan, any questions regarding food and drinks he will resolve. Always available and will do his best to make everything perfect for you. Mr Kalpa has been fantastic during the planning process, no question was too small and no question went unanswered. Nothing was a problem and he catered to unexpected situations on the day such as changing last minute meals to allowing us to have an unexpected pool party. In short if you’re deciding to stay here, have an event here or even a wedding. Don’t hesitate, just book and trust they will do everything in their control to make your stay/wedding the best.

I had high expectations for this “heritage property,” but unfortunately, it was a letdown. First, the drainage system is a disaster—it simply doesn’t work. Be prepared for bathroom issues during your stay. The worst part, though, is the location. It’s right next to train tracks, and let me tell you, good luck getting any sleep with trains roaring past at all hours. If you’re after peace and tranquility, this is definitely not the place. Now, be very careful when booking because the cancellation policies are extremely strict. They seem far more focused on squeezing every penny out of their guests than actually providing good service. Despite the hotel being barely 30% full, there’s zero flexibility or consideration. Don’t expect any understanding from management either—George, in particular, made sure that every detail of their penny-pinching policies was enforced to the letter, leaving no room for discussion. It’s unfortunate to say, but the KK Collection seems more interested in protecting their bottom line than in ensuring guests have a pleasant experience.
