Bukit Berahu Cottages

The location is good, the beach is exactly and the price is affordable.

This place is a jewel! I don't think there is another place like Bukit Berahu on Pulau Belitung. The location is simply breathtaking. There are 5 small cottages at the beach that can be assessed via about 90 steps from the restaurant. On the hill there are also two big bungalows that have the view of the bay (but with some trees in the front). I stayed in one of the cottages and I think I was the only guest that stayed overnight so I had the beach to myself at night and shared it with the people who simply visited it during the day. I was advised not to swim so I didn't which was a shame. The cottage was a bit basic, the bed sheets were too small and the shower is a little old, but I didn't mind because the look from my porch at any time of the day was so beautiful. The pool is spacious and at times empty, showers and toilets are available. The food was not great (too sweet, to oily, much of it was deep fried) but as a Westerner I simply have a different taste. Since I don't like nasi or mie for breakfast I had bananas and coffee instead. I certainly don't expect them to serve Western breakfast. The staff was extremely helpful, they carried my (heavy) suitcase down and up those stairs, they organized a scooter for one day (only 100 K - and it was new!) and my taxi to the airport (for 200 000). However, only one of the women working there (I did not see any men :-) ) spoke English. For me, this was very good because I got to practice my bahasa and learned quite a few new words, but for people with no knowledge of Bahasa this might cause a problem. For anybody who is interested in staying in a beautiful place, who doesn't need luxury, Western food or service in English, for anybody who wants a more authentic Indonesian experience, I highly recommend this place.

You cannot expect more if you want to live so close to the beach. I really enjoyed to be there, listening to the sea while sleeping. I think that the hotel is not responsible of the people throwing trash to the beach or leaving bottles of water or paper all around. Breakfast, definitively, needs some improvement.

Staff was lovely. The room was great and the view from the cottages was amazing! I would stay here again!

This hotels had a great view and delicious food. But one of the receptions is so annoyed when i'm asking for the first aid (medical kit- p3k) which they don't have. And please don't forget ask them to sweep under the bed.

The view is very nice. To the beach is very close from the hotel room. When vacationing again to belitung will stay again here.

The stairs are wow! 97 stairs. It's just really cool. The view is cool. Wake up morning greeted with a swish of the waves. The swing is cool. Comfortable rooms, cool ac, water heater okay. Only the receptionist only open until 21:00 hours can not dianter food everywhere. Even the anther to the pool below it also can not. The food is salty. But overall is good anyway.
