Stayed at Belihuloya Rest House for one night whilst on a tour throughout Sri Lanka. Absolutely breathtaking location right next to a flowing river... but sadly, that's where the compliments ends! Rooms were covered in black mould on the ceilings and walls, which resulted in the entire room feeling damp (beds and bedding included). Bathroom was quite basic and on... More

Needed a place to stay for couple of nights (the receptionist expressed surprise when we booked two nights!). 3 of us stayed - basic room with fan and OK shower / toilet. Restaurant setting excellent - right next to river - as was room, water levels were low at time of stay so sound of river was like sleeping below... More

We were very disappointed when we arrived at the Belihul Oya Rest House having booked it on the strength of the website pictures and description. Idealic location it certainly has, but that was where the similarity to the advertising ended. Two couples travelling together we had booked two rooms, which on arrival we found to be nothing short of unsanitary,... More

The room was filthy with black mould streaks on the roof and corresponding damp odor. Couldn't go on veranda as floor had collapsed. Buffet was stone cold. More

A great place right by fast flowing mountain stream. If you like the sound of gushing water, then this place is for you. Rooms are large and simple, but comfortable. Restaurant is also by the river and outdoors. It's never too hot here, because of the altitude. A good place to stop overnight if on a long drive. More

Belihul Oya resthouse is located in a beautiful place by the side of the belihul Oya. The place used to serve good rice and curry sometime back and was a popular stopover. But sadly and unfortunately, in terms of cleanliness and service the hotel cannot be recommended (though it is largely owned and managed by the Galle Face Group). The... More

Next to a fast flowing river this is not a quiet retreat but you can get used to the gush of the water. The rooms are very basic and could be cleaner. It is a good place for a no frills cheap stop off on your journey if you are on a budget. More
