5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 April 2012

We stayed at the Belfry for 2 weeks in April. We chose this hotel mainly because we wanted to be closer to 'real' Sri Lanka rather than an all inclusive resort, and it was a good choice. The room was spacious, clean, air conditioned, supplied with mosquito nets, coffee making facilities and with a nice balcony overlooking the pool. The... More

The staff was very friendly, the cook Silva prepared excellent curries, the owner was helpfull arranging the transfer to the airport and cheap Tuk-tuk-rides. The room was clean (with moskito net and AC, with tea and coffee making facilities) and the large balcony overlooked the small swimming pool. But unfortunately the busy Galle Road was very near so that you... More

We have recently stayed at the belfry guest house for the last 2 weeks of january 2012. We would highly recommend staying at the belfy. Chris and rachel couldn't do enough for us, in terms of arranging trips that included the cultural triangle and whale watching, which was much cheaper than any internet prices; taking us around the local markets...

The Belfry is a lovely place to stay with lovely big rooms,brilliant cook,nice swimming pool and proprietor Chris is a gentleman who goes out of the way to help you enjoy your stay.The only reason I did;nt give 5 stars is because the mosquitos are deadly and also the location. You need transport to do anythig and at the nearby... More

What a discovery......... Over the years we have stayed in numerous beachside hotels in Sri Lanka but none can compare with this small hotel for service and cleanliness. Tucked away some 50 meters from the beach this guest house resembles a colonial villa, surrounded by coconut palms and a myriad of other exotic trees and shrubs which attract many varieties... More

I can agree with all that other reviewers have said about the Belfry and the staff and owners are truly helpful. The one problem is that the property is adjacent to the railway line between Colombo and Galle and the trains all sound their klaxons as they approach. No need for an early morning call! More

Rachel and Chris have hospitality down to a fine art. My stay was everything and yet so much more than I expected. From Day 1 of my stay I was made to feel more like a member of the family than a paying guest. Chris and Rachel sorted everything for me..........a reliable tuk tuk driver, bottle of booze, currency from... More

We stayed 10 nights in mid July 2010, out of season but still nice. The guesthouse is owned by an amazing English family who are very welcoming and went above and beyond. They helped arrange trips to waterfall, elephants, white water rafting etc... for a very good rate. It was our honeymoon so they laid out a romantic meal on... More

Beruwala is a pretty central location between Colombo / International airport and the Southern beaches of Galle and Unawatuna and therefore makes for an ideal place to set up camp while exploring all the beaches on Sri Lanka's west coast... and while in Beruwala, the Belfry GH provides excellent value for money. Room was very neat and clean and had... More
