Everything was good.

We had a wonderful vacation for 3 weeks with a family of 6. We had two rooms. Sarath is a very kind and helpful person. During our stay, he bought a new fridge and a washing machine for vacationers. There was a kitchen with dishes, cooker and oven. Sarath provided very good breakfasts with local cuisine. He held a master class on cooking national dishes. I asked where it was better to buy food, he took me to the store, told me where and what was best to buy. He also took us to a deer park, helped rent a minibus with a driver at a good price. He constantly helped with useful advice during the vacation, it was interesting to talk to him.

small thing to adjust might be the wall plugs, some were not properly fixed. We also had an issue with the access to the kitchen, but it was due to other guest rather than an issue due to the facility.

Very welcoming host and very helpful! He was very welcoming, always offering us coffee in the morning and he helped us with changing the dates of our stay as we had to cut the stay in trincomalee short. The room was very spacious with a very nice bathroom. we also used the laundry service and it was eccelent.

A calm and quiet place. Very hospitable owner. In general, everything is great. We stayed at Home Stay Resort for the second time and will come again. We are a family with a child and there is everything for a comfortable long-term stay - spacious rooms with air conditioning, a kitchen with everything you need for those who cook themselves. A large store is within walking distance. You can always contact the owner on any issue, rent a bike, buy train tickets or find out where the most delicious samosa is.

Sarath was one of the best host I've ever had in my whole life. He dropped us to get lunch, to get at the beach and also at the bus stand. Also i really enjoyed to talk to him and he gave us the feeling that we are part of the family🫶. So if you want the best experience you can get in sri lanka, then please stay at home stay resort! PS: You can also rent a scooter, which is very cool!! Thank you so much for making our trip to Trincomalee unforgettable!

The wifi didn't work and the bathroom was'nt indoor but it was ok for the low price👍

The host was really nice and the location was good and close to the central city and you could use Pick Me and Uber to get to all the places, he also did laundry for us at a really cheap price ;)

Our Host was very kind and attentive. He‘s been there for us all the time! We liked our little flat very much and it had everything we needed. It’s not far to the beach and you can find several restaurants and shops on the way.

We’re a young couple from germany and stayed here for four nights and had a great time here. This was the most amazing host! He helped us with renting a scooter, gave us a ride to the beach and above all drove us the full 5 hours down to arugam bay which was our next destination. He was always there and did everything for us and we are beyond thankful for the experience we had in trinco. The room was clean, comfortable and provided everything we needed. We love the host and we will definitely be back!

The owner is very friendly. The room is simple, with a nice AC and comfortable bed. We’ve been there for two days, and during this time our host made us feel at home. Because the place is in the middle part of town, either the beach area in Uppeveli, or the south part of the city, near Dutch Beach, are both accessible within 10 minutes by tuktuk.

I loved my stay at this Home Stay! The owner really made it feel like a true home! The room was spacious and clean and I loved the wooden features. At any time I had a request, the owner was there to help. He served me a delicious breakfast and for dinner he made me the best chicken curry I ever had. The portions were very big but I paid less than at the restaurants. On my last day, he drove me to the train station for free and because I had booked a wrong train he talked to the cashier for me and even paid for me to change my ticket. This man truly doesn’t care about the money but only about ensuring that every guest has the best possible experience in Trincomalee. I highly recommend this place! Just be aware that it is a 20min walk to the beach and the nicer beaches are a bit further, but it’s very easy to go by tuktuk or maybe ask the friendly owner for a lift ☺️

A lovely, family owned accommodation with very spacious rooms and comfortable beds! Located a bit away from the hustle and bustle of the main street, so a good night sleep is guaranteed. The owner is kind and going above and beyond for his guests. All over a great stay!

Quite remote, will need to make good use of Uber or 'Pick Me' application (local Uber). My advice would be to hire a motorbike if capable, I found a hire place within a short walk using Google maps.Was I was offered help with a number of things, but none of them were fulfilled. Requested help finding a bike which was offered, but then never mentioned again. Asked about laundry which was offered by the owner, but was both collected and returned later than promised and still wet. All of my 'clean' clothes then stank which I was stuck with for a while due to travelling. The owner woke me up by knocking on my door, despite having my number. It was to offer code which was nice, but I would have preferred to not be woken. The water from the sink went straight onto the shower floor and gathered there, which meant paddling in anything that had gone down the sink, shaven facial hair in my case.

Nice, quiet place in nice surroundings away from most of the hustle & bustle

We had a great time at the home stay resort. The place is very quiet. The family is very welcoming and always ready to help. Our daughter spent some time with their one, a great way for her to discover another culture. The breakfast is typically Sri Lankan and tasty. We warmly recommend this place.

Sarath has been for us the most helpful person in Sri Lanka. He treats you not as a guest but as a friend. I have only words of thanks for him. I recommend his beautiful house 100%. Thank you

The owner and staff were incredibly friendly, offering a peaceful and private atmosphere that allowed us to fully relax. One of the standout features was the flexibility with meals; we were able to request both dinner and breakfast, and the food was simply superb... exceptional hospitality. What really impressed us was the trust and ease of our departure. There was no need for a formal check-out process, which added to the overall relaxed vibe of our stay. We will definitely be coming back for another visit. Highly recommended!

Nothing

The owner was awesome, he came to pick up us from the bus stop by car. The man was really friendly, we booked the room but it was not available but he provided the cabana for the same price. Hospitality is really awesome and the room is much more comfortable. It is close to town. I can strongly recommend it to anyone.

First night I was given the wrong room. Almost no WiFi the whole stay, they tried but failed to provide this. The bathroom on the first night was terrible.

Staff so friendly and helpful. The second night the room was very good. The owners wife cooked me a fabulous meal. They reduced the cost for the problems incurred.

I got a different room from the one I booked, and wasn't informed about that. The owner said the room I booked needed maintenance only when I confronted him. The room was filthy, animals excrements all over it. Funny area.

The roof wasn't leaking and the AC worked
