Really couldn't have chosen a better place for the kind of relaxation/rejuvenation that we both required. Private, intimate, easy .... attention to detail fantastic. For such a petite establishment, amazingly there seemed to be nothing we couldn't access if we wanted it. Hats off to you Rohan and Karen! i think you have nailed it.!! more

The guest house was fantastic with everything you could need for a break away from it all. Because it was not a big hotel chain you had the personal touch from the owners and the staff at the villa. The prices were fantastic and with Karen having so much local knowledge it was easy to plan what to do each... more

We stayed two nights at the Shangri-Lanka Villa in May. It was a wonderful expereince from start to finish! Upon our arrival, the laid back atmosphere immediately set us at ease. That same atmosphere contnued through our stay as we enjoyed the garden, pool, balcony and sunken bathtub. The food was amazing and was more Western than any we've found... more

The Shangri-Lanka is a beautiful guest house with outstanding rooms, excellent service and a unique personal touch. We stayed for 6 nights in March and were fortunate to be the only guests staying so we were extremely well looked after. However, given that there are only three rooms - all of which are extremely spacious and beautifully furnished - you... more

We arrived at Shangrilanka at 4 am, worn out after five weeks of travelling and needing a nice rest before coming back to England and work! Karen arranged the pick up from the airport and was there to greet us, even at that time in the morning. Even though we were tired we were instantly amazed at the accommodation, spacious... more

The accommodation, 3 superb en-suite rooms, is of a standard I've never encountered anywhere. It really is terrific. Our hosts Karen and Rohan treated us as though we were familly and nothing was too much trouble. Whenever we wanted to "eat in" they provided us with superb fresh local food beautifully cooked and presented. The location is excellent, a slow... more

My friend & I have just returned from our 3rd visit to Bentota & have stayed at Karen & Rohans each time. We have just booked again for our 4th visit which I think speaks for itself. During our stay Rohan arranged a Safari for us to Yala National park which was a awesome experience & we were lucky enough... more

Karen is a welcoming and practised hostess, and has put a lot of thought and planning into the accommodation and services she provides. We didn't meet Rohan, who was away touring with other visitors, but Karen with Danushka and Chaminda provided all the smiling service and help that we required. From beautifully serviced air conditioned rooms, superb bathrooms, with a... more

Shangri Lanka villa lived up to and exceeded all our expectations. Karen and Rohan are wonderful hosts and nothing was too much trouble for them. The villa is beautifully appointed with a gorgeous pool and garden from which you can see monkeys and lots of birds. The lovely spacious and individually decorated rooms are cleaned daily with a change of... more
