Set within 500 metres of Uppuveli beach and 4 km of Kanniya Hot Springs, Alass Ga For Pets Lovers features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Trincomalee.

Great location, walking distance to the beach and all the restaurants. Our host was so friendly, interesting to talk to and helpful. The place was absolutely spotless. Such a good cause and good to be able to support the local animals.

Set just 300 metres from Uppuveli beach, The White House features accommodation in Trincomalee with access to a garden, a shared lounge, as well as luggage storage space.

Oh my god - what a nice guest house in Trincomalee! It made all the difference for my stay in Trincomalee. The house is beautiful and cozy with a nice garden, cute rooms, very clean, perfect location. Everything you need is there. But the best is Rangan, the host. He was so welcoming and did everything he could that we have the best stay in Trinco. His snorkeling and boat tours are the best - big recommendation! And his food is a m a z i n g! I would always come back if I am in Trincomalee again.

Set in Trincomalee, 1.2 km from Sampalthivu Beach, Nature Beach Huts offers accommodation with a private beach area, free private parking, an open-air bath and a garden.

I loved the design and decor, very close to nature around it. The hosts are great. Very well informed and accommodating. They were able to prepare packed breakfast for me during my stay as I was leaving the property very early. The animals are also very docile and friendly. I also walked away with a bunch of plant cuttings and a recipe for deviled calamari!

Set in Trincomalee, 3.5 km from Kanniya Hot Springs, SNP star guest house has barbecue facilities and rooms with free WiFi access.

The hosts were incredibly helpful - keen to understand our needs and assist us in the best possible way. For example, we try not to use disposable plastic water bottles and travel with our own re-usable bottles. The host was kind enough to arrange a 20litre container of drinking water for us, from which we re-filled our bottles. We paid for the water, he explained he would get his deposit back on the container when it was returned. Excellent. We were very happy. We also used the kitchen facilities to make a fruit salad and the laundry facilities. All good.

Offering a private beach area where the beach is 50 metres from the property, Dyke Rest is located in Trincomalee. Free WiFi access is available. The Trincomalle Harbour is just a 3 minute drive away....

This place is magical. You are 10 metres from the sea on a quiet fishing beach. The top two rooms have the balcony overlooking the beach, where you can watch fishermen bringing in and casting nets at sunset and sunrise. Our host was so incredibly kind - he arranged for food to be delivered on our first night and nothing was too much trouble. The room itself was cool and just lovely to hear the waves at night. The bathroom is downstairs but that didn't bother us at all - it's perfect if you go for a morning swim, because you can jump straight in the shower! Absolutely recommend staying in this place if you want an authentic and Unforgettable experience. Thank you again 🥰

    Friendly host, helpful for backpackers (we had limited contact with the host as we had our own driver and guide). Great location! Quiet and very close to the beach

    Stayed here with our 16 year old ,we wanted to experience staying in a cabana . Great location, very close to the beach, sea safe for swimming and beach clean compared to Trincomalee beaches. Host and his family were so friendly and helpful. Organised our boat trip, tuk tuk rides and onwards travel. Food at their restaurant was excellent, tasty , freshly cooked and good price. So glad we stayed here and not at one of the bigger commercialised properties. Great value. Thank you for a lovely stay.

    We are a family of 5 including 3 kids, stayed at Vistara Guest house during our Trinco visit. We booked the entire house. The guest house was very clean & very spacious to accommodate our family. We really enjoyed the view from the guest house. Having a food city on the ground floor was very convenient to get the items needed during our stay. The host was very helpful and accommodated our requests to make our stay very comfortable.

    Nice hotel, clean, comfortable, great location - practically on the beach. The owner is a great host, super helpful and responsive on WhatsApp. Scooter rental available at the property. On our last evening we took a cooking class with the owners wife which was great. The food was tasty. Very good price as well. The owner also kindly arranged a taxi back to Negombo for us for an unbeatable price. Recommended.
