Sorry to say..........!
Firstly I have to say that I am totally unaccustomed to leaving negative reviews, but sadly I have to say "don't go" to this, no doubt once very classy, little boutique hotel. Before going any further it is worth mentioning that the staff (we only saw 3!) were lovely, extremely well meaning, and obliging. (We're guessing/deducing, severely let down by an absentee owner). Apart from the staff, the only other attribute was the superb position, overlooking and directly onto the river estuary. The dining area, seating area, and most of the rooms have this excellent view. But! our room was terrible! The cane fronted wardrobe looked like it had been attacked by monkeys (it probably had!) The little fridge looked like it should be in a museum, was filthy and probably unsafe. The toilet/shower room looked like it was old in the 1980s! During our foreshortened stay there was no attempt at housekeeping. We also had a cockroach for company in the bathroom. Need I go further? We checked out a day early, losing a night's booking payment, but we really couldn't stay any longer. Until there is confirmation that this, potentially beautiful, little place has had a serious upgrade, my/our advice would be to give it a miss.

Call it a homestay
Good part: Well behaved people, river side scenic view Not good part: it need to be named as homestay instead of resort as it lacks all basic amenities. Forget about coffee maker in room and mini bar. It don't even have utmost basic infrastructure like intercom (because of which if you need even water you need to go), no TV, don't have a full fledged restaurant. One more betrayal from mentioned conditions is you will get set breakfast instead of buffet (against to their mention on site)

Basic but comfortable
Useful as base to travel to places from but nothing to do at the hotel itself. Typical Sri Lankan service is that you have to make sure you ask for things which are missing - in my case water & mosquito repellent for the room. Service can also be slow in the restaurant as they're not geared up for too many clients at once & get frazzled.

Budget hotel with the feel of home stay
a homely little place on the banks of the river bentota. Hardly 1 km from althugama railway station and about 2 kms from Bentota beach. One can enjoy all the water sport activities just a few blocks away.

Beautiful location, friendly staff
We stayed one night at the benthota high rich resort. The staff were lovely and helped us organise a fishing trip within hours arriving. I had the best curry of my whole trip here also. The rooms are basic but clean and are what you'd expect for the money. I'd definitely come back!

Härligt äldre hotell i kolonialstil. Fantastisk personal som gör allt för din trivsel. Frukosten serveras med underbar utsikt över lagunen.

Belle guesthouse au bord de l'eau, mais...
Deux nuits, famille de 7 adultes. Belle vue de deux de nos chambres, mais la troisième n'était pas vue rivière comme c'était demandé et pré-payé. Le repas du soir était très cher et vraiment médiocre, à éviter.. Il n'y avait personne d'autre au "resto". Le gérant est un peu collant pour essayer de vendre des choses... Il y a un temple bouddhist juste à côte, impossible de dormir avant 6h du matin cause musique et fête le 31/12. Les chambres et lits sont confortables, le petit dej. correct
