It is a very new hostel with a nice exterior area for relaxing with others. During my stay in the off-season I was the only guest, however the hosts were very helpful, always available and extraordinary when I needed something.

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!

The hosts are incredible. Every employee there does such a fantastic job. It's run very smoothly with all needs of the guest being anticipated. The rooms are kept clean everyday, the daily group dinners are cheap and incredible, and also an amazing way to meet other guests. I am generally not one for hostels but the vibe here is incredible and the people you'll meet here will be lovely. A walk from the most popular beachfront bar/restaurant in upuvelli. If you're looking for a private room or a dorm you will not be disappointed.

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.
