I liked everything about this place, starting from the wonderful shady garden. The staff was very kind and the room clean, just renovated and with its own special style that you won't find anywhere. I strongly recommend it

This is a gem of a place, a trulte excellent stay. If I could have given more than 10, I would! Brenda is a wonderfull host, helpfull, kind, fun, friendly, and she truly cares about you. The food is great, the huts are really charming, clean, well equipped and well airconditioned. There are also a nice common courtyard, furnished with comfy chairs and hammocks and shaded by canopies and plants. The beaches nearby are beautyfull and can be easily reached by foot, taxi or tuktuk. The closest beach is mere minutes away. This one is a shallow natural lagoon. To shallow for swimming, but great for lounging in the Water. It is calm, even when The sea elsewhere is too rough for bathing. It must also be perfect for small kids! Brenda hires people too clean litter off The beaches, when weather permits. (Impossible in windy weather.) There Are a bunch off adorable cats, and two dogs, at The guest House. They are well talen care off and very friendly, and should not be a bother even for people sceptical to beeing around animals. If you love pets, consider them a huge bonus! A can not reccomended this place enough, for a relaxing stay in a calm eviroment. especially reccomended for families. If you are early enough for booking, don’t hesitate! There

I had an amazing two-week stay! The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The homeowners are truly lovely — caring, attentive, and always there if needed, yet never intrusive. As a solo female traveler, I felt completely safe and at home. The owner even arranged for a trusted friend to pick me up from the airport — such a thoughtful gesture which I appreciate a lot! The shared terrace and patio are very nice for relaxing. The location is fantastic: the beach is just 2 minutes away, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby. I felt so comfortable and welcomed throughout my stay - truly a place I would recommend to everyone! Thank you so much for everything!

The staff were so nice. We arrived at 6am, and they let us into our room straight away. They organised a transfer to our next destination cheaper than pick me and generally they couldn't do enough for us during our stay. Room was spacious and plenty of storage and is literally a 2 min walk from the beach.

Close to the Beach and next to the best Restaurant Mom's Kitchen, this place is a real gem. Rooms are super clean, good bed, good working shower and AC. The owner Prasanth is super friendly and takes such good care of all the stray cats and dogs in the area. He made it his life goal to take care for the animals nobody else is looking after, which makes him a true hero! At the place itself, there also are super cute dogs and cats that live there and it was a pleasure spending time with them. We hope to come back soon and would recommend everyone who comes to Trincomalee to spend your time here, you won't regret it! Ps: almost everything he earns he will use it to take stray animals to the vet, for food & medicine for the cats and dogs... So if you can, give him a nice tip so he can continue doing such beautiful work! ♥️

Excellent value for money. Newly built (it only opened in March). It’s clean, comfortable, quiet and has excellent wifi. There are only three rooms. The owner lives nearby, is friendly and always very quick to answer WhatsApp messages. It’s basic and no frills but for such a cheap price a really good place.

    Our room was extremely comfortable and well air-conned. Our lovely host was extremely accommodating and kind throughout our stay. He brought us tea whenever we asked as well as helped us arrange a snorkelling trip. We also loved the cats! There were many cats to play with, all extremely friendly and adorable. We wish the host all the best with rescuing more cats and dogs.

    The host and his family are super friendly and helpful. They allowed us to check in earlier than expected and provided us with a lovely cup of coffee on arrival. We really got the feel of a home stay. The back of the property enters right onto the beach. The beach where the property is situated is private and private. Perfect for relaxation after busy days. We stayed for 3 nights and it was perfect for this length.
