Villas for rent in Sri Lanka. Big trip of the Belyaev couple Villa in Sri Lanka

KUTKOVA IRINA

The hotel is good. The beach is clean. Protected area. I lived in the central building; the air conditioners did not work, but the fan on the ceiling was enough for me. View from the balcony to the garden, pools and ocean. For the last four days the swimming pool and jacuzzi have been turned off. We contacted all the employees, “from young to old,” including the Big Boss of the hotel, but alas. There is a limited range of dishes in the dining room. The food is average. But I had enough of the ocean, excursions, many shops, good family cafes. I was very pleased with this trip. This is very good hotel with small VILLAS (small two-story houses for 4 SMALL rooms, but without a refrigerator, kettle, hairdryer, tea, coffee, etc., but for an additional fee (everyone can bring it) and a large central building with large rooms and all amenities. The hotel is calm, suitable for families with children and for couples and singles. Personally, for me, everything was excellent both in cleaning and in the timely replenishment of water, tea, coffee, cream, sugar and all shower accessories - gel, shampoo, conditioner, shaving cream, shower caps, soaps, etc. The bed was changed every day and there were enough towels (5 pieces per day) - DAILY. On the first day I was treated to sweets, chocolates and cigarettes - the hotel staff and the whole vacation are like in a fairy tale. No problem!!! I am very pleased!!! Thanks for the selected tour and hotel to the manager of the Travelata company - Liliya Bakulina. She is a great CLEAR GIRL.

The hotel, unfortunately, is falling into disrepair. There is a sense of lack of constant management control and supervision. The air conditioners do not work, the fans are old and noisy and also turn off periodically. In the rooms on the ground floor there is a fungus of gray mold, as the seams of the shower stall are leaking, and there is constant high humidity. The bed linen is gray and old. The curtains and tulle are terribly dirty. The Balcony Glass has not been touched by a rag with detergent for a long time. However, just like gender! It's high time to send the room cleaners to clean and polish everything! With such a large and beautiful area with animals and birds, a magnificent gentle ocean, it’s a shame to see such terrible numbers!

Everything is ok, but! management needs to tighten up a bit. In my opinion, it’s a little short of a normal “four”. How much does it cost to repair wooden sun loungers? what does it cost to run a normal pool bar (and make money!)? put sun loungers by the pool? make a neat decorative fence - ? cheap investment. The same goes for renovations in villas (it’s just underway). And nature, the ocean, swimming pools, territory and even food (!) are very normal

The hotel itself is not bad - a large well-kept area, a swimming pool, and a long deserted beach. The main building is more modern, but the houses are cooler, they are all in the shade of trees, and the furniture in them is original - carved wood, wicker armchairs and chairs. It’s very nice, you feel at least a little bit like you’re in eastern country, because everything else is just Türkiye, nothing exotic. The cleaning of the rooms is disgraceful, it is simply non-existent. When after 5 days they did not change my bed linen, I took it off, crumpled it and left it on the bed. After cleaning, I discovered that the bed was neatly made with the same dirty linen that I had removed! I asked for toilet paper to be brought to my room 4 times, but it never came, I had to steal it from the public toilet at the reception. The Internet is only at the reception, it constantly breaks down, you need to register again every time. At the reception itself there are constant disputes between vacationers and the staff - she herself was a translator for two women, whose safe in their room, where they put their passports and all the money, broke down on the second day of their stay. For five days, each time they were promised with oath that the master was already on his way (but his own was not there). On the fifth day, the hotel administration gave the poor women $200 against receipt, but the master never arrived. Someone else also had problems - expensive photographic equipment was stolen from his room, I don’t know how it ended... The hotel is located in a fishing village, there is no infrastructure nearby, there is absolutely nowhere to go, and there is no entertainment in the hotel. The local boys on the beach were terribly annoying, and you just had to fight off the tuktukers at the exit from the hotel. On the beach, half of the sun loungers are outright rubbish, there are not enough beach towels for everyone. This hotel is suitable only for those who are going to constantly go on excursions to different places on the coast and inland, and only spend the night at the hotel. And use it for beach holiday there is no point - it is impossible to swim, the ocean is stormy all the time, you can only jump on the waves, and it’s boring there.

There are no refrigerators, hair dryers or kettles in the bungalows or villas, but this is available in the main hotel building. The food, buffet and drinks are the same, there is no variety and the dishes are very spicy and not tasty. The attitude of the staff, in case of force majeure, flight delay or late check-out, is very bad, they do not attend a meeting, they demand exorbitant sums for several hours in the hotel, with large quantities free rooms! Very old and collapsed sun loungers on the beach.

The hotel is modest, but very beautiful! There is no service, plus staff theft from the rooms, mostly money and cigarettes. There is no safe in the room, and at the reception there is only a paid safe, since the free one is always busy. Otherwise everything is great! We are delighted!

We stayed for 6 days, overall we liked everything, the staff was helpful, but they always wanted to sell something for money. And yet, check-out from the hotel is early, no matter what time you have a transfer to the airport, you will be checked out at the time specified in the hotel rules. This is a real minus, considering that it was not the season and the hotel was not full.

The hotel corresponds to its price category. We lived in a villa on the first floor. Nice clean room. The condo worked great. Sometimes they forgot to leave bottled water, after a phone call they reported. There are no mosquitoes either in the room or on the beach. I was glad that in August only five dozen of our compatriots are vacationing there, but it feels like there are ten people. There is a lot of space, the sunbeds are about ten meters apart from each other, no one bothers anyone. Beach towels, yes, are stained, it’s better to bring your own. The ocean is pleasant, the waves are big, but they don’t interfere with swimming. Not a single rain in ten days. There are palm squirrels running around the area, we saw an iguana on the beach, and also a huge snake in the flowerbed near the reception. The employee treated her calmly; she was probably not dangerous. Nobody got into the room except a couple of ants. Every few days they brought the elephant to take a photo and ride. 500, 1000 rupees - less than at the farm near Kandy, where we went on an excursion. Of the locals, there are two normal guides - Ratna, who hangs out on the beach all the time, and Silva, who hangs out outside the gate by the tuk-tuk. To go to Bentota is 20 bucks on a tuk-tuk, to Kandy and Nuwar Eliya in a group by bus - 50. We went with both of us, we liked everything. We took it without meals, but we heard that vacationers complained about the kitchen - there was little food and almost no choice. We ourselves ate in cafes near Passat and Lelik, 2000-2500 rupees came out for two. We didn’t see any animation during our entire stay. There is a gym, but it’s very stuffy in it, it’s impossible to work out there. We didn't swim in the pool. There are also billiards and table tennis. Wi-Fi is free in the reception area. Sometimes it worked poorly, sometimes it worked well. Extending the room on the day of departure until six in the evening costs forty bucks, a little expensive. In general, if you don’t have high expectations for the hotel, you can go. We have more positive impressions.

Among the disadvantages, the Villa Ocean View 3* hotel is old, the pool is not cleaned, they only sprinkle bleach in the evening and that’s it, frogs swim in the water and it blooms. There is poor lighting on the hotel grounds in the evening, and there is a snake living in the hotel and it is scary to walk in the evening, you have to use a flashlight. The room has a very old, dirty air conditioner and it didn't work well, the furniture is old, the plumbing is in terrible condition. They cleaned every day at the same time, during the day. Just when we were returning from the beach and at that time wanted to relax, we asked the administration to move the cleaning time to the morning, one day the request was fulfilled, and then everything was as before. The beach is dirty, I clean it very rarely. On the plus side, the reception staff is very polite, free wi-fi, the hotel area is beautiful, there are many animals (elephants, chipmunks, monitor lizards), the hotel itself is good, you just need to take care of it.

Overseas real estate in Sri Lanka: renting an apartment, house, apartment or villa. Property prices in Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka is the ultimate beach paradise, offering a leisurely and very... relaxing holiday. Most often, Sri Lanka is visited by lovers of nature, antiquities, diving or surfing, but those who prefer noisy discos and partying all night long to quiet relaxation will find it a bit boring here. The ideal way to experience the beauty of this island is to rent a beach villa Indian Ocean. This method of accommodation is also very convenient in the case when you are going to relax here not for 5-7 days, but for at least 2-3 weeks.

Many people believe that renting villas in Sri Lanka is quite expensive. We hasten to refute this myth: in any case, staying in a villa with a large group will cost you much less than renting rooms for everyone in a hotel. Renting a villa has many advantages over staying in a hotel. If you are used to making do on your own and taking care of yourself, it is definitely worth renting a villa in Sri Lanka. This means complete freedom of action, the most comfortable accommodation, and the opportunity to find a very decent housing option even with the most limited budget.

Many people think that renting villas in Sri Lanka is expensive, but in any case, staying in a villa with a large group will cost you much less than renting rooms for everyone in a hotel.

There are many offers for renting villas in Sri Lanka. Do not be surprised if, under the guise of a “villa,” they offer you a small wooden bungalow with a thatched roof or palm leaves. This definition in Sri Lanka includes all detached buildings different sizes and with different numbers of bedrooms. But for the most part, the houses offered to tourists are equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable stay: furniture, bed linen and towels, dishes, a fan (or air conditioning in more expensive villas), a refrigerator, etc. Almost all villas have a kitchen or kitchenette, where you can cook your own food. And if financial capabilities allow, you can hire staff for this purpose.

Renting a villa in Sri Lanka is an ideal solution for a large family or a group of friends who want to relax together.

The cost of renting a villa in Sri Lanka depends primarily on the season. From November to April (this is the high season) any accommodation on the island will be quite expensive. And during wet season(from May to October), when there are practically no tourists in Sri Lanka, you can rent a luxurious villa with a pool for literally pennies. In addition to this, of course, you need to pay attention to factors such as the availability of infrastructure, proximity to the beach, and the interior furnishings of the villa, which are included in the price of the service.

Of course, all these prices are very relative. When booking a villa in Sri Lanka, it is worth checking the price for specific dates and also asking what is included in the price. If you want to freely use electricity and the Internet, as well as other benefits of civilization, it is worth discussing all the nuances before concluding an agreement. By the way, if you rent a villa not through a company or agency, but directly from the owner, it makes sense to bargain.

Villas in Sri Lanka are an excellent alternative to traditional tourist hotels. Especially considering that the need for hotel rooms on the island is now 60 thousand, while only half of the required number of rooms are available.

Renting villas in Sri Lanka: features of booking, rental and holidays

Each villa in Sri Lanka is a separate building with several rooms, equipped with everything necessary for comfortable accommodation on the island. There must be furniture, household appliances, kitchen utensils, air conditioners or fans, etc. Many villas in Sri Lanka are located in picturesque areas, next to the Indian Ocean or organically integrated into the natural landscape - among the hills and mountains, near a river or on the border with the mesmerizing greenery of the jungle. The villas often have their own swimming pool and garden. Villas located on the coast often also have private access to the beach.

Modern villas in Sri Lanka are decorated in ethnic style and have their own flavor, architectural and design features. One of the attractive features of renting villas in Sri Lanka is the opportunity for complete privacy and relaxation alone with nature. Crowded hotels, resort apartments, the bustle of tourist life - this is not all about villas in Sri Lanka. Serene peace and quiet reigns here. Throughout the day you can enjoy beautiful lagoons, palm trees, a well-kept garden, watch sunrises and sunsets on your own veranda with a cool cocktail in your hands, sunbathe on the lawn or read a book on a blanket under a fruit tree away from prying eyes.

If desired and financially possible, you can rent a villa in Sri Lanka together with the service staff. Typically, the price of the villa already includes utility bills, Internet use, etc. However, these points should be clarified in advance before concluding a rental agreement and payment.

Renting a villa in Sri Lanka on the shores of the Indian Ocean is the dream of many tourists. You can rent a villa either for holidays(short-term rental) and for a longer period - from several months to one year (long-term rental).

Cost of renting a villa in Sri Lanka

The cost of renting a villa on the island is influenced by many factors: distance from the ocean, the presence of developed infrastructure near the villa, seasonality and rental duration, etc. For example, from late October to mid-April, when a significant number of foreign tourists, renting a villa in Sri Lanka will be much more expensive than in the low season - from May to September.

Average prices for renting a modest house on the island start from $60-80 per day. More luxurious options with 3-5 bedrooms, a spacious living room and hall, several bathrooms, a large area near the villa and other pleasant little things will cost from 200-300 dollars per day. A long-term rental option is possible, then the cost is calculated by weeks or months, which significantly reduces the total price.

In 2017, the house is not available for rent; it is being rebuilt.

In January 2015, we flew to Sri Lanka from Vietnam. We intended to stay here for 4-5 months, so we decided to rent a house. Having chosen the resort town of Hikkaduwa as our location, we rented an old motorcycle for $4.5 and began driving around the city in search of our new home. We will definitely show photos and tell you about the prices of other houses that we have seen, but in this post the story is only about the house that we ultimately chose for a long and happy life :).

Important addition (December 2016)

The house is being rebuilt and will not be rented out in the next six months or a year. So take this post simply as an example of simple housing in Hikkaduwa, and not as an option for your future place of residence. There are many other good houses in Hikkaduwa.

What to do in Sri Lanka?

Hikkaduwa Map

Click on the menu icon in the upper left corner. The house we rented is marked there, as well as other useful and interesting places.

How we found our home in Hikkaduwa

It was very easy: we rented a motorcycle and after a couple of hours of searching, we asked a passing woman “Where is a house for rent?”, She said that she would show where. We came to some old house. The old housewives called their grandson, he came and took us to his friend, who was renting out the house. That's how we met Mr. Upali ( his facebook).

Dry facts

We rented a house in Hikkaduwa for 3 months. In general, we can move out whenever we want, because we didn’t sign any contracts or pay a deposit. Just paid for 1 month and that's it. When it runs out, we'll pay for the next one.
1 month costs $220. Originally Mr. Upali wanted $250, but we haggled. This is the price without utilities. When the bill comes, we will pay for the electricity. The owner of the house pays for the water, he decided so himself.
We don't have air conditioning, but we do have 3 fans.
We don't have hot water. At first we didn’t want to take a house without hot water, because in the Philippines, not warm water flowed from the tap, but cold water. In our house in Sri Lanka, the water is at a comfortable temperature and we agreed to live here.
We don't have Wi-Fi. In Sri Lanka, Wi-Fi is generally not popular; people use fast mobile Internet. Here we have excellent mobile Internet reception from the Dialog operator. 5 GB costs 700 rupees. There is a cheaper Mobitel, but in our house it does not receive reception.

The last time we rented a house was in 2013 in the Philippines, on. Before this, for 3 months in 2012-2013 we lived in our house in Thailand, a town. But in Russia we lived in a cozy guest house with territory, and we also preferred to stay in guest houses. So this house in Sri Lanka is our first home in a year and a half! :)

Here we described in detail how to rent a house in Sri Lanka

If you have already read the post about the features of searching for a home, we offer you virtual tour according to our accommodation in Hikkaduwa.

So, welcome :)

Our street. Exactly 5 minutes walk from the sea. It’s a pleasure to walk - clean, beautiful, cozy.

Our neighbours.

And here is our fence. It says "Utopia Villas" because Mr. Upali is the owner of the villa with that name.

We don't have a gate, just a heavy black gate. There is a house right behind the fence. Fences in Sri Lanka are high. This is strange to see after the open Vietnamese houses. I have not heard that theft is common in Sri Lanka. Perhaps such fences were created to keep the sun out of the yard and keep it cool. But it’s true that even in the hottest weather it’s not hot in our house; by opening the windows, we spend the day without a fan.

So, let's go into the yard.

Living room.

There is a large table on the left, where we work. There is a fan hanging from the ceiling, we don't use it because it is very noisy. The walls in the house are painted in different colors: somewhere blue, somewhere green, somewhere pink wall :)

Couch.

There is a soft corner in every home, but the feature of our house in Sri Lanka is a hard corner :) We haven’t figured out how to use it yet. For now, there are balloons on it that Denis bought for a housewarming party.

From the living room we move to the bedroom. There are as many as 2 fans here. We do not turn on the wall-mounted one, as it is also very noisy. We only use the one with the leg and move it into the living room if necessary.

A mosquito net protects against mosquitoes, but not 100%. There are a couple of holes and during the night at least one mosquito manages to find them.

I saw many photos of houses in Sri Lanka and in Hikkaduwa in particular, the cooking areas were often shabby and very dirty. Everything is fine in our house.

There are plates, mugs, spoons, forks. We bought a frying pan, a kettle, a saucepan and a cutting board, Mr. Upali said that when we leave, he will return the money for them, since the equipment remains with him, which means he must pay for it. Nice:)

There is a gas stove. By the way, the owner of the house bought a gas cylinder at his own expense and brought it on the first day we moved in. In general, we were very lucky with Mr. Upali, an adequate person. As far as I understand, he doesn’t really need money, Utopia Villas generates income, and he rents out this house so that it doesn’t sit idle. By the way, take a look at Utopia Villas if you are looking for a guest house. A day costs $20 (without air conditioning) and $25 - $27 (with air conditioning). Breakfast is not included, but there is a free full kitchen with a refrigerator and everything you need to cook your own meals.

But let's return to our house in Hikkaduwa:

View from the utility room to the kitchen. There are things we don't need here, like a TV and a few chairs. The refrigerator is also located here.

“Sort of a garden” is supposed to be a garden, but there is nothing here except grass and falling dry leaves)) You can go out to the “type of garden” directly from the kitchen, which is very convenient.
