The location is awesome, beside a beautiful beach which is virtually private except for periodic crowds of fishermen pulling in their nets, something that added to the.charm of our stay. The staff are super friendly and accommodating, the rooms are enormous and well-equipped, the food is prepared to order and delicious, and you can't beat the price.
Nothing.This was my second stay and I know I will be back again. Thank you!

Quiet and friendly resort run by family with spacious rooms in large garden. From the garden you walk onto the practically deserted beach. The food is also very good.
If you are looking for a tranquil and comfortable stay this place is a gem.

This is a lovely piece of land with frontage to a beautiful beach. My room had a comfortable terrace, with views over the garden. The land has lovely shrubs and trees. Great bird life. Service by staff was excellent.
The ceiling fan above my bed was hanging by a couple of wires and spun drunkenly so I turned it off. There is no hot water in the bathroom. The food in the restaurant is more expensive and not as good as two restaurants in the town centre. No electric kettle with tea/coffee making facilities. No bottled water. No proper coffee making machine in the restaurant.

Beach which is close to this hotel is not at all safe.
They don’t have common water tap to wash feet before stepping into the room.

The location of the property was perfect, just set back from an uncrowded beach at the edge of the non touristy town of Balapityia. I stayed in the garden bungalow which had had a recent addition of a veranda , making a perfect shady spot to chill and read. The staff made the ‘property ‘ though. All so caring . I was ill whilst there and they took me to the Doctors and then cooked food that I was able to eat and checked on me through the days - I was so well looked after.
When booking the property I knew it was going to be quite basic and it was, but it was very clean. I think going forward they could do a few things to upgrade it a little bit, like some new towels and bedding without losing any of the quirky charm that the property has. Also perhaps in hotter months have another fan in the room . ( that is being picky)

Directly on the beach. You’re part of the family. Perfect and huge breakfast. Enormous garden, full of birds.

Wonderful location. Beach is simply gorgeous! Staff was very friendly and helped us along all we could think of.
The room we stayed in was rather warm - however, can’t really blame the host for the local climate.

What a gem! A private, peaceful garden setting on a wide, empty beach...we avoided all the hassles of the touristy beach scene but were close enough to be able to take advantage of it when we wanted. The staff members were all fantastic, going above and beyond to make us comfortable and supply special needs. I will definitely be back!
I honestly have no complaints to register. Raja Beach Hotel exceeded my expectations in every way: the accommodation was delightful (I was in the bungalow, the friends who joined me were in one of the huge a/c rooms); the food was delicious and cooked to order; the staff members were friendly and upbeat; the setting is idyllic.

A bit of a hidden gem between Galle and Colombo. Quiet hotel with a beautiful garden of mature trees next to a very wild beach. The family are very welcoming and make an excellent rice and curry. There's a very interesting boat tour they can organise for you plus a few beach restaurants further down the shoreline. Would thoroughly recommend for anyone wanting a bit of peace and relaxation.

Disappointing
staff very very friendly and tried to do their best…location on the beach is nice. the food was good but too pricey. breakfast ok.
the room was not very clean, stain on the bedsheets, spots and dirt… the mosquito nets absolutely disgusting, the bathroom towels were stored in a box and smelled badly!!
the overall atmosphere was kinda „sad“, abandoned.
nothing really close by to have an option to eat somewhere else often.
could be so much nicer. a few upgrades in the garden and cleaning of the rooms/ beds and it would be a lot more inviting…. overall disappointing for the price you pay.

The Raja Beach Hotel was a really great experience! I stayed there for 12 days and might come back. Not only for the beautiful and relaxing graden also for the most amazing food I had so far in Sri Lanka. (Total travels 2,5 Months)
The beach is directly infront of the hotel and really beautiful. Best for morning runs and afternoon swims and you have it almost for yourself.
So if you look for a relaxing stay with amazing food on the beach, this is the place to be!
I can only highly recommend staying with Steffen and his beautiful Sri Lankan Family.
Again thank you so much. I will definitely come back!

Exceptional group of staff who quickly became like family. The food was amazing, and could be custom made each time to suit my Veggie preferences. The room was HUGE and there was enough space to roam even though I was in quarantine for the week. 10/10

The home-cooked Sri-Lankan food was delicious. The owners and family who work there are very friendly and caring. The beach is empty, besides the fishermen on the beach. This is the place for you if you want a relaxing, quiet, and real Sri-Lankan experience. We will be returning!

The room in the main building is ample. A lot of european sockets, nice balkony. The territory is lovely and quiet.
The ocean is 20 steps away. The beach is vast, no people at all. You feel like the whole beach is yours. But the most precious about the place is the family running the hotel - incredibly hearty, helpful and delicate.
The stand-alone bungalow is too small and damp.
Thank you for your information!
