This place is just amazing, the rooms are super comfortable, clean and beautiful. The whole place is full of good hearted people and dogs. Wini and her whole family are amazing and also the laundry service is just great, smells good and is clean. It was the best place we have been till now, the whole vibe is the right one and you feel heartily invited by this family. The location is super good and you are exactly at the place to be, the beach is very close, max 5. Minutes walking distance and all the bar and restaurants are there. You will just love this place, so be aware to book it already for more days because if not you will have to change the place without wanting. Happened to us 😅 but next time we already know where to go and where to stay. Looking forward to see you soon again Till then we wish you all the best Sarah and Kirin

I had a wonderful stay at this guest house. The street is calm and feels very safe, which made coming and going super comfortable. Inside, the atmosphere is just perfect — warm, welcoming, and full of life without ever being too much. The presence of the aunts and children creates a homely, vibrant energy that makes you feel instantly at ease. It’s a great place to relax, whether you're solo or with friends. The guest house is dog-friendly, and their two adorable dogs add to the warm, welcoming vibe. Losan also organized several great activities for us — snorkeling, diving, sunset outings with guests from a friendly guest house, and even some lovely apéros. It really helped create a fun and social atmosphere without ever feeling forced. I had both breakfast and dinner during my stay — everything was delicious! Special mention for the spicy biryani: full of flavor and absolutely satisfying. This place strikes the perfect balance between being alive and peaceful — ideal for anyone looking to recharge without feeling isolated. 100% recommend this place!

All hostels in Trincomalee

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great vibe and wonderful freindly staff. Great hostel with large dormitory rooms and fab air com and was spotless and well maintained. Cool garden chilling area and two minute walk from beach. Crocodile tour and sunset was awesome. Great value for money and highly recommend. Thanks to all the staff.
