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.

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 🥰

    I think this might be the best location in Trincomalee. The rooms are just in front of Sandy Bay Beach, a small beach perfect to swim and relax. You will see friendly fishermen collecting their nets, this was one of the top memories we have from Sri Lanka. The fort is 45 minute walking, but a short ride with tuk tuk. The family running the homestay is kind and helpful, and they prepare a very good sri lankan breakfast. We totally reccommend staying here.

    Hotel is more of a homestay. It is located just some 100 meters of the beach. It is not a very touristy beach, a lot of fishermen and stray dogs, but we liked this more local vibe, after a day we already knew the guys on the beach. The family, who runs the hotel, is trying to satisfy all your needs. The accomodation is basic (so is the price), but clean and in that way satisfief our expectations.

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.
