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!

The hospitality of the host and the staff members! They were really lovely and caring! We love the location as well: near the beach.

The stay was simply fantastic! The rooms are spotlessly clean, and the bed is exceptionally large and comfortable. The owner and his team are passionate about what they do and go out of their way to fulfill every wish—always with a smile and genuine hospitality. A special mention goes to Justin’s outstanding cooking skills, turning every meal into a true delight. Thank you for such an unforgettable and wonderful time!

Our four-night stay at Jey’s Place was absolutely perfect. We were warmly welcomed by Jistin and Prasanth, who went out of their way to make our stay truly memorable. Jistin is an excellent cook who prepared delicious and refined traditional meals (lunches and dinners) using fresh, local ingredients — many of which came directly from their own garden. We also greatly enjoyed talking with him, and he even taught us how to make his delicious coconut pancakes. The garden is beautiful and perfectly maintained, and the rooms are cool, comfortable, and impeccably clean. We also had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with Jey, the owner — a truly kind and welcoming man. We will definitely return to Jey’s Place on a future trip to Sri Lanka.

Internet is a bit of an issue. That’s all

Great location, well maintained. Very clean rooms and bathroom. Food is great! The chef was kind to create some off the menu Sri Lankan delicacies for us

Be aware that the Moskitos will eat you up in the evening, so it’s a bit tough to stay outside on the veranda. The breakfast is OK, but nothing to write home about.

The location is very nice and quiet. The spacious garden is filled with fruits trees and the hotel is close to the beach. We recommend beach walks at night, the beach becomes alive after sunset. The host was attentive and always present, ready to answer any questions you might have. They also helped us to organise our departure to the bus station via Tuk Tuk.

A very pleasant place to spend a few days exploring the surrounding beaches. The staff is very friendly and especially attentive. It is about 10' walk from Nilaveli beach

Our hosts Sitthu, Vinoth and Justin took good care of us and we felt at home at Jeys Place ! We had the opportunity to discover some secrets of the Sri Lankan kitchen, the location of the place is nice and close to the beach and the garden is really nice to relax. We highly recommend staying here for having a nice stay in Nilaveli ! :)

Our family (2+2) recently had the pleasure of staying at a fantastic resort in Sri Lanka, and I can't recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the incredibly hospitable family who runs the place. Their kindness and attentiveness made us feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious, offering a variety of local and international dishes that satisfied every palate. Each meal was a delightful experience, showcasing the rich flavors of Sri Lankan cuisine. The resort itself was impeccably clean and well-maintained. Our room was spotless and comfortable, providing a perfect retreat after a day of exploring. The attention to detail in the upkeep of the entire property was evident and greatly appreciated. Overall, our stay was an unforgettable experience, thanks to the wonderful hospitality, amazing food, and pristine conditions of the resort. We can't wait to return and would highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting Sri Lanka

Nice people, close enough to the beach for a short walk. And a lovely garden, very relaxing.

The cleanliness when we first arrived left a lot to be desired as there were so many cobwebs and spiders in both our rooms. What the eye could see was clean & fresh, but the ceilings, under the beds & behind furniture was dusty & full of cobwebs. When we pointed it out to the staff, they immediately attended to it and cleaned everywhere thoroughly.

The staff were very friendly, attentive and welcoming. The gardens & grounds were meticulously maintained and the food in the restaurant was delicious. The location was fabulous for Nilaveli Beach, only a few minutes walk away and was beautiful. The bathrooms are very quirky- all individually decorated like a boutique hotel. Justin the Chef was a fabulous guy talking about where he’d worked in Dubai and family in England. He has some great ideas too & is an asset to the Hotel complex.

Very minor things: The double bed was a standard size double,, WiFi wasn't very strong (but did work), ... But nothing that wouldn't make me visit again

Staff were lovely. Very attentive and keen to help. Food was really good and we saw some groups had ordered lobster that looked and smelled great. It's only a short walk down a straight road for about 400m to a beach with hardly any buildings, so quite unspoilt, but further along are a couple of small cafes and dive schools (I used Reshan from Deep Blue which were great). Rooms were clean and big enough for 3 of us and useful to have a small fridge in the room.

Honestly nothing negative to say. I hope they get more visitors soon.

A lovely spot to stay in Nilaveli. Very close to the beach and great value for money. The staff were lovely, going out of their way to help us. They even went out to get us cokes that weren't on the menu and offered to help us get shopping. The food was delicious and very affordable too. The room was basic as we expected but spacious and clean.

Excellent location. Calm, peaceful and clean environment. In-house restaurant provides all three meals for reasonable prices.

If they arrange the kitchen with some basic kitchen accessories that would be very helpful. Other than that no negative comments.

Great place very near to Nilaveli beach. There are AC and None AC rooms available. Rooms are built with attached bathrooms and more like a small house where two separate rooms are available. It's very suitable for a family. There is a restaurant and these days they don't function. but in the restaurant area there is a separate kitchen to cook your own food. but you have to bring everything. The person who took care of the property is very friendly and helpful. always gives his full support to everything. Overall its a great place for a reasonable price. Hope to visit again when traveling to Trincomalee.
