The service is spectacular and truely personalised. Kenny and the staff gave great attention to detail around preferences. It’s the small things that make this place different and better than the larger chains. Also the small property made it very homely yet all comforts were available. The food was great as well. All dishes (other than the pizza) gave us food comma Overall would definitely recommend the place. It’s a 10/10 barring the issues with the central team (mentioned below)

The management by Taru villas central team is below average - there was fair bit of confusion on Christmas dinner. Despite mentioning that we are vegetarian it was not conveyed to local staff - all prices on menus are in USD but bills are prepared in LKR. Local staff again helpless and doing what is directed. - Bill is prepared manually. No system based and itemised bill given. Had to manually check everything

Boutique hotel, only 9 rooms so quiet, plenty of sunbeds, very attentive staff, afternoon tea, fantastic breakfast, helpful team, nothing is too much bother, chill out areas, gentle quiet resting music, comfortable beds, filtered water, mosquito repellents, perfectly cooked food, ice lollies, 2 mins to the huge very quiet beach, sunbeds,

This hotel is stunning! We prefer boutique hotels as they always seem more friendly. The staff were so nice! The Breakfast is so lovely, we also had dinner there too. Our room was beautiful and opened out onto the delightful garden. The beach was a very short walk through the garden, a very nice clean beach. We would highly recommend and can't wait to go back one day!

It was all good, no complaints.

Everything. Staff were Amazing & went out of their way to make sure you were enjoying your stay. They were all so happy & accommodating. I loved the quirky interior design throughout the villa. The vibe was chill, relaxing, happy, romantic, intimate, private, quiet, peaceful. The food was outstanding- breakfast & dinner. Cooking class was phenomenal 7* dish with a wonderful chef. It was exceptionally clean & comfortable. Few feet away from a beautiful private beach & staff bring you down an ice pop to cool you down :) we would definitely return!

If there's one thing it would be the entrance driving in to the villa & car park is a little messy with other buildings around it

Amazing place! Beautiful Heritage style, very comfy with a 5 star service and an absolutely well trained and super friendly staff. Stunning beach in front. We also loved the railway between hotel and beach. Typical and traditional feeling! We definitely recommend this place and would really like coming back

Amazing property. Super clean and luxurious. Comfortable stay and great food. All you want.

Owners were too strict about their cancellation policy. We decided to stay 3 instead of five nights and they made no accommodation for us and we were charged the full amount.

Artfully designed rooms, with every comfort thoughtfully catered to, I loved the large balconies that opened up to the sound of waves & pirith along with beautiful sights of the village and golden sunsets. The sea being steps away was glorious and the food was just delicious!

Beautiful small boutique hotel south of Bentota near to beach where the hotel has its own beach chairs and the beach is kept clean. Wonderfully friendly and attentive staff. The hotel has a nice pool and garden facing the coast. Food was excellent.

Very luxurious, the staff were very attentive and helpful.

Maybe the prices of food and drinks were a little prohibitive for us to have every day. And, of course, the railway line so close made it noisy at times but we were aware of that before arrival.

Everything! The place, the staff, the pool area, the lounge areas, the proximity to the beach, the FOOD! We were treated like royalty and we can't wait to try other properties of Taru across Sri Lanka!

Little difficult to find on Google Maps but if you speak to the manager, they'll guide you well. Its behind a government office so they can't put up too many boards to guide you.
