Belika Beach

Heel aangenaam verblijf, alle credits naar Preety!!

/

The property was very far from the main area. In terms of facilities, they didn’t have the bar running. There was some renovation work going on, the food provided was not up to the mark. They switch off all outdoor lights at 6pm so we couldn’t sit outside to enjoy the view or the stay facilities. Only one guard stayed back with dogs and cats inside the premises. It was more of a sleep only space than a beach club which it claims to be. We spent way more than we got.

It's not worth that price.

Lovely hidden gem just a 5 minute walk from Hiriketiya beach. The hotel pool is beautiful and spacious for a swim away from the surfers. The sun loungers looking out at the sea were great for relaxing. The staff were friendly. The rooms are quirky and the bed was soooo comfy. I would recommend staying here in Hiriketiya.

Breakfast wasn’t included. It would be great to include this option given there are only 3 rooms at the resort.

Beautiful hotel in a great location. 5 minute walking distance to Hiriketiya beach. Very friendly staff, would definitely recommend!

Nothing

Such a gorgeous hotel Ideal location for us, just a short walk from the main area, The pool was ideal and plenty of seating to choose from The food was excellent as a pool snack too. Very cool stay

L'emplacement, la vue spectaculaire, la qualité de la nourriture et des boissons, la propreté de l'établissement et la gentillesse du staff ! Tout était absolument parfait

Rien !

The view, the owners, staff, room and the food! The entire experience was extra special

Nothing

Great location. Very easy check-in. It has a great view. The room is clean and new. The pool is great, and it has private sea access. Great location.

It has a high bed, and it is quite small. So be aware of it. Very bad choice of pillows, those are uncomfortable. The worst thing is the bathroom. The bathroom looks nice, but if someone looks down from the upstairs balcony, they can see everything. 0 privacy. It was a major concern. Be aware of it.

Super séjour au Belika Beach. Tout était parfait. Julien, le patron, est de très bons conseils et vraiment à l’écoute. L’hôtel est idéalement situé, légèrement excentré d’Hiriketiya mais assez proche pour tout faire à pied. La vue depuis les chambres est magnifique et tout est pensé pour s’y sentir bien. Personnel très sympathique. Je recommande sans hésiter.

The room was clean and views were amazing both during the day and night 😍. They have an outdoor shower in the room which was great. Staff were very nice and helpful. We had a great stay and would highly recommend this hotel😊

Friendly, helpful staff. Nice pool area. Quirky design with great views of the ocean. Nice quiet location away from town centre, approximately 10 minute walk to restaurants and bars.

Building work to the side of the hotel - not too disruptive… hotel seemed past its best as it was in need of redecoration. Didn’t like the fact that the bin in the toilet for the paper was a flip lid that you had to touch to open - should be a pedal bin. Parasols around the pool were really in need of replacing.

Small boutique hotel, with friendly staff. Unique design, fabulous swimming pool and quiet location with easy access into town.

Unusual outside bathroom design was different however not unpleasant.

Belika exceeded our expectations. It is in the perfect location for anyone who wants to be an easy 5 min walk away from hiriketiya, in a really peaceful location overlooking the sea. It is only three bedrooms so never feels too busy, and although peple come during the day to use belika’s pool, there are always sunbeds reserved for hotel guests. The owner was so lovely, and all the staff are great and very helpful. We really loved our stay, and were so grateful for the extra touches Belika made to our room as we were on our honeymoon. If we are lucky enough to come back to Sri Lanka, we will 100% be returning to Belika Beach.

Nothing :)

Very stylish- great views from bed

Liked it all

Nous avons adoré Belika Beach ! Le personnel est adorable et a eu des attentions spéciales pour notre voyage de noces que nous avons beaucoup appréciées. La piscine est un vrai plus quand on veut se poser tranquillement après une session surf, sur la plage à 5 min à pieds ! Nous avons également pris tous nos repas du midi à l’hôtel car nous avons trouvé cela délicieux

Rien à redire si ce n’est qu’il y a des travaux à côté, mais pas gênants du tout (pas bruyants, seulement visibles derrière l’hôtel)

Not too far of a walk to hiri beach, had a nice pool area

Room was ‘quirky’ but looking tired.

The views were incredible and the bed is raised to really appreciate this. The staff are lovely and so are the breakfasts. The location is excellent- just over 5 mins into Hiriketya. The pool area and sun heds are also lovely.

The BATHROOM!! Be aware that there are only 3 rooms and the end 2 rooms have an outside bathroom exposed to the elements. The picture of the bathroom must be the middle room and is very misleading. The shower is very close to the toilet which gets soaked after you've had a shower so does the floor. If its rainy you're going to get very wet going to the toilet. You can't flush any paper down the toilet which we didn't experience in any other much cheaper hotels in Sri Lanka

Au calme mais proche du centre quand même en tuck tuck ou à pied

Nydelig og romslig villa som føltes som et hjem. Personalet var fantastisk snille, hjelpsomme og var alltid tilgjengelig når man trengte noe.

Egentlig var alt flott, men hagen som tilhørte villaen brukte vi lite fordi det ikke gikk an å sole seg der på grunn av for mange insekter. Derfor holdt vi oss i nærheten av bassenget, som var behagelig å være i.

Perfect location less than 10 mins walk to Hiriketiya beach. Views incredible and rooms were v clean with a large comfy bed and great shower! Staff were great, friendly and helped arrange a safari trip and onward tranpsort when we checked out. Rooms had everything you would need - kettle, tea/coffee etc provided, hair dryer, safe and mini fridge with filtered water which was topped up when needed. There was also filtered water provided for kettle. Wish we had stayed longer!

Curtains weren’t v thick so rooms were sunlit from sunrise, which was v early morning.

Air conditioning is very low in the day time is the only bad thing about this place other than that it's a top notch place.

This was a fantastic spot to stay in Hiriketiya! The entire staff here are incredible - so helpful, lovely, and kind. The location is out of the frenetic energy of the main hub but a short walk away. The rooms and facilities are exactly as pictured and the food is great (you have to try the crepe!). We loved staying at the Belika and would highly recommend to anyone!

Really cool and well designed hotel with a large bedroom and beautiful view of the sea!!!! very relaxing time and loved the pool area and the crepes available at the restaurant! Will definitely come back

Clean quiet

Location was a dark alleyway about 400m long and at night my partner didn’t feel comfortable walking along

Location and pool. Large rooms facing the ocean

Over-priced IMO. Decor has a lot to improve. Completely dark at night time (pool is supposed to be open until 20:00 - good luck finding it...). Pink rug in our room should be trashed. Air Conditioning either needs cleaning or fixing. The hotel is big on sustainability which we truly appreciate but this is maybe taking it a bit too far...

Fantastic staff and beautiful location

Nothing

In such a peaceful location, but close enough to still walk everywhere. A true slice of paradise and calm in a busy town!

Nothing :)

Lovely gem away from the hustle and bustle of Hiriketiya Beach. Only a 5 minute walk from all the action, but far enough to not be in the thick of it.

It wasn’t a major issue but they don’t sell alcoholic drinks. It actually worked out well as we enjoyed the location without alcohol.

Staff were super friendly and kind. Relaxing atmosphere. Good pancakes.

Nothing.

Amazing location close to centre of Hiriketiya but on its own small beach. Super friendly staff. Brilliant breakfast. Great ambience. All run with a clear respect for the local culture and environment.

Location, the friendly and service minded owner and staff

Some more possibilities to store clothing

Lovely big spacious room with great view of the sea, really clean. Nicely designed small boutique hotel, only 3 rooms so never felt busy. Really relaxing place to stay. Great location, only 10 min walk into the main busier town and beach. Staff all really lovely and attentive. Banana cacao smoothie a must have! Great pool, good size to properly swim but also has bench in it so good for relaxing /looking at the view/ reading your book. Garden overlooks a small bay you can walk down to and explore the rock pools. Loads of wildlife visits the garden, peacocks, monkeys and more!

Nothing bad to say, only improvements would be some garden lighting in the evening as the pool is open till 9 for residents but after 6 it’s too dark to swim. Air con in the room was ok but the room gets super hot if you don’t close the curtains during the day.

The staff were very very friendly, and the breakfast was delicious! We stayed as part of our honeymoon and the staff made us feel very special with cake and rose petals. It also has a very beautiful view straight on to the ocean! It’s very pretty to wake up to this view :) the property was also very very clean and looked after! The pool is also very nice too!

The facilities are extremely limited and the rooms shouldn’t be considered luxurious, particularly with an outdoor bathroom when it rained it wasn’t covered properly and not very comfortable. There is also alot of building works around the property which we were not aware of, and we ended up leaving early. The front looks to the ocean which is lovely, but behind is a building site. It’s very expensive for what you’re getting. You should also know that it’s not in the centre of town and a fair walk away!

The staff were lovely especially the guy running the restaurant! Pool was great and food was too and just such a lovely vibe and aesthetic! Especially loved how there are only 3 rooms so you really have the area to yourself in mornings and afternoons, and when others come during the day you still have loungers reserved. The view from the balcony and room is beautiful! There is a gate directly onto a lovely beach and it is a short walk away from restaurants, spas and the main part of hiriketiya! Overall it is very peaceful :)

It would be even better if the breakfast was included, if they did more with the rooftop, and if they cut down some of the trees so you get more a of a sea view in the pool - although these are just very minor improvements!

Nice decor, great swimming pool and friendly and helpful staff.

A little bit out of the town but not problematic

We stayed at Belika Beach for a week and absolutely loved every moment. It was the perfect place to relax, calm, comfortable and beautifully run. The food and drinks selection was great, and the service was always quick and efficient. Our room was cleaned daily with fresh towels, beach towels were provided every day, and tea, coffee and water were always replenished. These thoughtful touches made our stay feel effortless. What really made the experience special were the people. The staff were incredibly friendly, warm and helpful throughout our stay. Pretty at reception and all the male servers were simply amazing, so attentive and genuine. The owner was also wonderful, always taking time to chat and share tips on where to go. We felt so well looked after and truly at home here. We are so grateful for everything and would go back in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

The property is excellent, the view is just awesome and value for money. Owner & staff both are extremely warm, friendly and helpful. Just that post 5 PM there is nothing to do at the property: no food so have to step out. Otherwise everything was just excellent.

The location, the staff

The bed was too hard and the bathroom could’ve been designed better

Amazing staff and hospitality! The room was so clean and cool with the decorations, during check in the staff team prepared a small surprise for my birthday. It was a great option for us, location close to the center by tuktuk and a calm area as well. Thank you Belika team, definitely will come back!

The toilet was outside the room and it was open, which was a little bit weird as we are not used to it. But it was a good experience :)

- sehr schön und ausgefallen dekoriert - sehr sauberes Zimmer mit Dusche unter freiem Himmel - sehr sauberer Pool & Aussenanlage - das Personal ist super freundlich - gutes Essen und gute Getränke - kleiner Shop mit tollen Gadgets und toller Kleidung

Nichts :-)

Prachtig uitzicht vanuit de kamer. Fraai ingerichte accommodatie met fijn bed en heel fijne douche.

De accommodatie ligt wat buiten het centrum en is lastig begaanbaar door een zeer slechte weg ernaartoe. In de avond is er nauwelijks licht, waardoor het geen fijne weg is om lopend erop uit te gaan. De omgeving is op dit moment ook niet echt uitnodigend en heeft meer weg van een bouwval. Iedere ochtend werden we bovendien heel vroeg gewekt door de bouwvakkers die vaak al rond 8.00 uur begonnen. Qua prijs/kwaliteitverhouding mag je verwachten dat het ontbijt bij de prijs inbegrepen is. Dit was niet het geval.

Really beautiful room, and beautiful swimming pool. Crepe for food was the must for french peoples we enjoyed. Staff nice too i recommend

Bit expensive for the room and we didn’t have any water for free

Fantastische stijl, geweldig zwembad en zeer vriendelijke eigenaar en personeel. Zeer lekker ontbijt “big brunch” en pancakes!

We had a great stay at Belika Beach! Super peaceful spot, right by the ocean. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff was really friendly and helpful. The breakfast was honestly the best we had in Sri Lanka (including crepes), so fresh and flavorful. Perfect place to relax and enjoy the beach vibes from the nice swimming pool.

Such quiet beautiful calm location. A short walk to the main Hiri beach. Amazing views of the ocean from the bed. Loved opening the doors in the morning & watching the waves. Also the breakfasts were excellent & staff all so lovely.

Nothing at all

The view from the rooms were amazing. Staff were just lovely including the owner Julian. The hospitality and ambience outstanding!

Only comment would be that the bathrooms for the queen rooms are outdoors which I wasn’t aware of. A bit tricky when it rains.

Such a fun hotel to stay at! I booked this hotel for the aesthetic and it did not disappoint. The owner and staff were super friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was incredible, the rooms are spacious and the views of the ocean really top it off. It’s not quite in the main part of town but we had a bike so was no problems for us. You could easily walk (5 mins), so I wouldn’t be put off by the location. In fact, it means you have a small little beach all to yourself

Incredible breakfast, lovely pool/cafe/garden area, amazing staff

Bit of a walk to the town

Amazing design and gorgeous rooms. The place was spotlessly clean. Breakfast was delicious and the staff and owner were extremely friendly and helpful.

Nothing

We absolutely loved our stay here. It was the perfect ending to our Sri Lanka trip. The hotel and the rooms are beautifully designed, with the large windows giving you the perfect view of the cove and the sea while you're lying in bed. The pool and poolside area is gorgeous, the breakfast is delicious and the staff are so lovely, as are the owners. Highly recommend staying here!

Amazing breakfast and all staff were lovely and helpful. Rooms had beautiful views over the ocean

Everything

Absolutely stunning place. The owners, the staff, the location and the breakfast are all amazing

Incredible views you can lie in bed and watch the waves rolling in across the ocean. Love the outside bathroom and showers are best we had after a month in Sri Lanka. The pool is lovely and whole place very clean. Staff are nice and very accommodating letting us arrive early and stay after check out. The place feels very different to anywhere else in the area and we loved having one night here as treat after staying in hostels.

The fact you have to pay 1000 rs for water is a bit mean - there was a bottle included in the room but I feel like for the price just get a water filter guests can use.

Serene and beautiful

The aesthetic, the staff and the owners. The food, the view, everything about Belika.

Nothing not to like, best place I have ever stayed.

Super friendly and helpful staff. Fantastic breakfast. Loved the pool area and the room was so clean and airy with very comfortable beds. The locations was perfect, away from the busy bay but in easy walking distance. They made a real effort with some special touches for our honeymoon which was very thoughtful. We loved staying here and would love to come back :)

Very minor thing but it would have been useful to have a full length mirror :)

Amazing view from the room Helpful staff Generous breakfast Peaceful at night

That the pool was shared with outside guests. This was not apparent pre- booking and meant the pool area was not as peaceful as we had hoped. People smoking and drinking in the pool Babies in the pool.

The views, staff, chic rooms, outside shower, location and setup. Everything was great!

Hard to pick a fault with such exceptional staff and service from the team.

Incredible views, short walk to the beach and all the bars and restaurants, really friendly staff and amazing food.

Nothing

The staff were all very friendly and happy to help with any of our requests. They were also really helpful with tips on what to do in Hiriketiya and nearby.

It was very quiet and while peaceful, felt a little lonely but maybe that’s because there weren’t many other guests staying at that time. Maybe some more slightly upbeat music would help!

The rooms and pool area are amazing and breakfast was so good. The owners are so lovely and welcoming can really see all the hard work that goes in.

Nothing

Fabulous accommodation. Great location. The owners couldn’t do enough for you. Really enjoyed our stay

Nothing

Very nice staff and fantastic breakfast.

Everything! The private, boutique feel, the quirky design, and the location. The wildlife just in the grounds of this hotel is incredible! Monkeys, lizards, peacocks, bats, fire flies! Don’t worry, they keep their distance!

I can’t fault it!
