“Aayu’s Guest offers an authentic, generous Sri Lankan stay.”
+Couldn’t have a more generous and attentive host than Aayu! Our first floor room was very comfortable, with a huge bed and breezy balcony under a large mango tree. Close to the beach, good eating options and the train station. Breakfast on our first morning was a home cooked banquet of choices and on our second day early airport departure, Aayu prepared a delicious bag of goodies for travelling. She even included extra mangosteen fruits which she knew we loved. Her son drove us to visit a local garden and also to the airport from Bentota. We enjoyed talking with our host about many things and appreciated her insights on many aspects of Sri Lankan life. A very authentic and enjoyable stay in lovely Bentota. Thank you Aayu 🙏

“Home away from home”
+It is a beautiful place, gorgeously covered in greenery and close to the beach, great restaurants and yet,close to town. The resident dog is quite the nicest animal and makes all pet parents feel totally at home.

“Great stay!”
+Aayu is a very kind host. She helped us with everything we needed during our stay. Breakfast is beautiful, and the location with the beach within a short walk is also perfect.

“A warm and welcoming guest house close to a beautiful beach.”
+We were warmly welcomed and felt completely at home at Aayu’s Guest House. Our room was very clean and comfortable and we enjoyed having a little covered balcony from which to watch the birds. The location is in a quiet neighbourhood very close to a beautiful beach which is clean, uncrowded, and stretching for miles. Best of all, our host Aayu was lovely and helpful and prepared breakfasts each morning which were spectacular. We will definitely return.
−No complaints at all.

“Wonderful accommodation, breakfast and owner.”
+Beautiful, large and immaculate bedroom with lovely en-suite. The owner was wonderful, organising a Mangrove safari, recommending excellent authentic restaurants and booking very reasonable transportation. Breakfast was amazing. Location was superb for Ventura Beach, ATM, Cargills etc…

“My favorite homestay during month in Sri Lanka!”
+Wonderful stay to end my month in Sri Lanka. The property was awesome with nice patio area to sit in evenings and breakfast. Room was VERY clean and they offered to clean room during stay. Bedding, towels, etc. were very nice. AC very cold and shower warm which is great. The best part of stay was the breakfast. Thilini makes a beautiful breakfast every morning with beautiful fruit plate, hot fresh cooked eggs, toast, and Sri Lankan traditional items as well. Hospitality was incredible. For example one day I was working on my upcoming travel plans and she just made me a bit of lunch which was unexpected and greatly appreciated. They also arranged for my laundry to be done at reasonable price so my bag was full of clean clothes for next stop. Location very convenient and walkable in minutes to beach, restaurants, train station (VERY handy if you want to go somewhere else like I went to Colombo for day to tour city).
−No negatives, everything was awesome.
