The Mermaid Hostel is a simple, yet peaceful and comfortable solution for anyone willing to spend some relaxing days in Trincomalee. It is located in a strategic area, making it easy to reach the most beautiful beaches and the main bars / shops of the area. Special mention for Kokul, the manager, who was extremely kind and responsive to any request. He definitely made our stay more pleasant and unforgettable!

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 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!

The hostel has a great social space for everyone to hangout. The dorms have aircon and are very clean. Plus the location is perfect and is two minutes away from the beach.

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 location, clean rooms and good atmosphere! Just a short walk away from a popular beach spot with restaurants and bars, as well as diving school options.
