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

I loved the location of this place tucked away in nature right on Coral Beach.. beds super comfy food was delicious and Brenda cooked anything you needed.. I used the bicycle to ride around they were great and just lived my time here.. Karjaa picked me up dropped me off to the bus.. taught me how to play COROM..felt like a home away from home.. staying with a family always a good thing..

Simply wonderful! Absolutely perfect stay. Varun and his family are amazing hosts, so friendly and welcoming. They always have a smile and time for a conversation. Hope you can meet varun father also, he is lovely. The rooms are great. Spotless clean, quiet in a beautiful, and the WiFi works absolutely fine. For this price, definitely one of our top 2 accommodations in whole Sri Lanka so far.

Owner and his family are just adorable family, hospitable, genuinely interested in their guests and their needs! The owner, who is the chef of the embedded small restaurant, prepared for us three meals of a barracuda I've caught. It was the most scrumptious barracuda we've ever eaten in our lives! Sri Lankan breakfast was great, too! Even if it is a small hotel, there was someone their to take care of guests 24/7. We had a couple of very nice conversation and discussions with the owner! Beach is very near! You can see fishermen nets pulled out a couple of times a day. A couple of small shops and a barber are only some 150 - 200 m away, bigger shops and a number of stalls only some 10 minutes walk away.

Location was perfect (close to beach and amazing restaurants), staff were incredibly helpful, whole place was super clean and exceptional value for money. All quite basic, but it had everything we needed. The shared kitchen and fridge is also very useful… all in all a great place for a beach holiday!

What a lovely place to stay! We were so happy to witness and admire the great job the Host- Prashanth does helping all the animals in need. Prashanth is a beautiful and very kind person who literally restored our belief in humans. We very much recommend it to pet lovers, and we were happy to know that by staying there we take part in helping the animals. You can see there the sweetest furry friends, and we fell in love with each one of them! The room had everything we needed and the homestay is only a few minutes from the beach and all the amenities . The host is very helpful in arranging tuk tuk, bus tickets and recommending places to eat real local food. We would love to be back there and see all these beautiful faces again! Thank you Paolo & Kasia

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.

One of the best accommodations we've stayed in in Sri Lanka. Rooms are very spacious, clean, comfortable, and with plenty of shelves to organise your stuff. The manager also organised a bike and a tuk-tuk for us. Everything at very reasonable prices. Highly recommended!

    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.
