Best guest house I stayed at in Sri Lanka so far. Probably the best place to stay in Trincomalee. Excellent value. The whole place is incredibly clean, tidy and hygienic. 10 second walk to a beautiful beach. The room is spacious enough to practice yoga/ exercise. The family owners are very kind, relaxed and accommodating. I felt really good here and wish I could have stayed longer. Rent your moto here, I didn’t even ask the price because I instantly trusted the owner when I met him and was given a fair rate when I checked out. I would come back here without a doubt. 100% book this place if you come to trincomalee.

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!

Wow, what an amazing place to stay. I loved absolutely everything. It felt like home. The room is comfortable and spacious, the bed cozy, with a big bathroom. I slept like a baby throughout the entire stay. The property is located 3 minutes by foot from the Uppuveli beach. It features a nice garden with a hammock and chairs. Rangan, the host, is a wonderful person. Besides that, he is a snorkeling guide, dive master and phenomenal chef, very loving and caring, extremely attentive to the needs of his guests. Family dinner is available every night. You can also order breakfast and lunch and they are so delicious! I am still missing those meals. It was probably the best and healthiest food i have had in Sri Lanka. Vegetarian and vegan options are available. Rangan always tries to impress his guests with new dishes. Fantastic. I highly recommend booking a snorkeling or a diving trip with him. He really takes care of you and is very passionate about the subject. Overall i had a wonderful time in the White house and didn't want to leave. I will definitely stay there again, once I'm back to Trinco.

The host is such a great guy. Along with his many cars and dogs and his sweet mother, the host made my stay one I didn’t want to leave! Real life working aircon provided (not a fan— the real deal!) The room was cool on arrival and functioned perfectly. The bed and pillows were super comfy. 5 minute walk to the beach and restaurants.

A perfect couple of days staying at this wonderful new property in Uppeveli. The room was very spacious and light, the mattress and bed were really comfortable, the bathroom is also wonderfully soacious with 2 very good showers. Beyond the bedrooms, there are plenty of more communal spaces (currently no seating, but you can easily take the chair from your bedroom out here) and a wonderful veranda surrounding the whole of the 1st floor. The host is incredibly kind and helpful, and is able to arrange tours with his contacts if you would like. Location wise, it is down a quiet lane just off the main road, making it easy to access yet remarkably peaceful. You can access the beach a 5 minute walk away, which is perfectly okay if you would like to go for a beach walk or watch a gorgeous sunrise with the locals out on their finishing boats. Beyond that, just a 5 minute Tuktuk ride away is Fernando’s bar, which has a lively beach bar feel, catering for any kind of food, with hammocks and sun loungers under the palms, and beach parties every night. 5 minutes in the other direction from the hotel is Trincomalee, allowing you to see the more cultural side of the area. All in all, this great new property is great value, in the ideal location to explore the areas easily, and with a host who bends over backwards to accommodate you- if you are looking for a place to stay near Trincomalee, this is the place to go.

    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.
