I took non A/C room, which was very spacious and clean. There is a kitchen and common space perfect for working. WiFi is very reliable and fast. The owner is very nice and ready to help. The location is perfect. Opposite the house there is a small shop.

Udeas and her husband are warm and caring. The place is calm and peaceful. It is halfway between the main road and the beach so it's easy to get a bus into trinco or walk to the beach. I stayed 4 days and was sad to leave. The bed was fine, the bathroom was beautiful. The fans inside and out were sufficient and in the night a bit too cool. I went snorkeling with pearl divers on nilaveli beach. They do padi courses too. Saw dolphins and a whale. Went to coral beach for.....corals. and all uncrowded.

Jey's Place is fantastic. The owner Jey, chef Justin and Prasanth make sure you have a great stay. The apartments are clean and calm and the garden area really stands out in the street, it's really pretty. We stayed for 2 nights, but we would have loved to stay more. It's always fully booked, and rightfully so. If you are going to Nilaveli, this is the place to stay!

    This is a simple homestay run by a very enthusiastic host. The room is basic but comfortable and has an en suite bathroom and a ceiling fan. It is a cheap place and great value for money. The location is great. It is close to the local beach and a short tuk tuk ride to the main restaurants on the beach. In the morning they made us breakfast - roti and dahl and coconut sambal for a little bit extra.

    The location in Nilaveli is perfect. The beach is 5 minutes walking. It's a very quiet area, perfect to relax. The home stay has a good vibes atmosphere, with a garden with "hamacas", and full day open kitchen. The staff was nice and friendly. The room was very cheap and it has all the basic things you may need. I arrived very early and they stored my luggage, also in the departure day.

    We stayed in the older house with a veranda and a lot of shade. The room was cosy with 4 persons but with airco and this is the only thing we needed!!! The beach and a lot of restaurant options in the surrounding walking distance. In the weekend locals tend to build a party near the beach so this was super fun. Try snorkeling (also possible without the expensive 40 dollar visit to pigeon island) or diving. We drive with our own tuktuk which you can stall in the garden. Go and see the cultural part in the nearby Trincomalee.
