Bliss Cabana was a lovely and peaceful place to stay in Trincomalee. Vini, the host, was super helpful and always available. we could message her anytime if we needed something. The location is perfect: close to some great restaurants and just a short walk from the beach. The cabana was very clean, and we were glad to have booked one with A/C, especially since it was really hot. At night, the fan alone was usually enough to keep it comfortable. Would definitely stay again!

The hostess was so kindhearted and went above and beyond for any small request or issue we had. She’s incredibly generous and cooks delicious food - especially the jackfruit from the tree next door! There was AC and a fan and a door to seperate between the two sections of the shared dorm if you want some privacy. It’s only a few minutes from the beach and about 3km to the town which is a nice walk along a road full of very friendly people.

I loved this hostel. It had a cosy, family run vibe. Loshan was so friendly and we had a great time together. Great home cooking from his auntie which was a breath of fresh air after travelling and eating in restaurants every day. I would recommend this hostel for someone looking for a nice quiet place to chill while exploring Trincomalee. You won't be disappointed. Can't wait to visit again some day!

Hostel Lali beach villa

Trincomalee

Lali's place is enchanting and peaceful. Rooms surround a lovely garden with ammoks. Shady spots outside rooms and under a patio to enjoy the breeze. Room clean with large bathroom and window. Cozy bed and good fan. Five minutes to the amazing Uppuveli beach and close to restaurants and all kind of shops. A quarter of hour bus from interesting Tricomalee town. But indeed, what I appreciated most of this place was Lalinda the host. A marvellous person, heartful, kind and helpful. Passionate with his place and his job, it was a immense honour being his guest. I do thank him and wish all the best.

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.
