    Beautiful room close to the beach and many good restaurants and shops. There is a lot of attention to the details to the furniture and to the details compared to other places in Sri Lanka, and we really appreciated. The staff is incredible! We received a lot of help to organise our activities during our stay. Would recommend it!

    The property was in a great location for food and beach access. The facilities were very clean and well kept. It was a beautiful space to spend a few nights in Trincomalee. The staff were amazingly helpful with recommendations on food/activities.

    Fabulous location near to excellent food options. Little oasis close to the beach and very peaceful. Room is not huge but beautiful design and felt very relaxing.

    Given the heat, a mini fridge to keep water cool would’ve been nice, the mosquito net was only attached to one side so it laid on you while sleeping and lastly, the airconditioning in our room was very old (stuck together with ducktape). It did the trick of cooling the room, however it made a lot of noise so that was less nice to sleep.

    The property was very clean, outside bathroom was great and refreshing. And everything was nicely designed. Sober but nice!

    The accommodation is located within walking distance to Uppuveli beach, having plenty of restaurants and bars close by. The hosts were extremely welcoming and friendly. We booked a tour to Pigeon island through them and everything worked perfectly. The room itself was amazing and had a great design and everything you need.

    This was our favourite place we stayed on our trip. Whilst it might look basic in the photos it is simple elegance! It is incredibly tasteful and understated in its decor. Attention to detail and little touches made this place so special. The gentleman who looks after Nongu Home was friendly, funny and helpful. He was the perfect balance of present but not fussy or overbearing. The garden is a real pleasure to be in. We loved it he handwash in the bathrooms and they were kind enough to give us a bottle to take home with us.

    Great place to stay and very close to lots of restaurants around Uppaveli beach. The location is perfect. Loved the decor and each room has a small seating area outside. The air conditioning was amazing and much needed when we visited Trinco. Great communication with the owner who recommended some trips/places to visit. Would definitely stay again!

    The bathroom area is outdoors and whilst this is aesthetically lovely, there are insects to encounter. Do bear this in mind if you do not like insects! There was no bottled water with the room which would’ve been good

    Great location within short walk to the beach and very comfortable bed. Rezvi and his team were so helpful and always friendly/ on hand to help; including coming by later in the evening to help me get rid of an insect!

    Location was a winner, the room itself was very nicely designed, especially the bathroom, and the support we received, whenever we had a question or we needed something, was fantastic. This really was a perfect little place for a few nights and I would say it was really good value. It’s nicer in reallife

    The House is very stylish and cozy. Even though the room is not big, but it is completely enough for a couple and it is very comfortable. Beautiful small yard! The owner was extremely helpful and on a request organized flowers and cake for my husband’s birthday❤️we stayed for four nights and even wanted to stay longer. Beach is nearby and close to home there are a lot of restaurants.

    We had a lovely, 6 day, stay at Nongu Home! The location is great: close to the beach, lots of amazing restaurants nearby (with local and Western food). You can rent a scooter down the road if you want to drive to the town. The owner is very friendly. The room is simple (no fridge, no closet) with a nice vibe, it's clean and the bathroom is absolutely lovely. I recommend staying here for your Trinco trip.

    Clean, calm, comfortable room with big clean open air bathroom. Its the best place in Trincomalee - truely comfort and relaxing stay. Comfortable beds, tea pot in room, beautiful garden sitting area - all was perfect. Friendly staff. Also good location - 5 min walk to beach, and a lot of good cafes and resturants around. We stayed here for 2 nights and then try to go to other place, but we return to stay one more night because its most comfortable place.

    This was one of the most beatiful stays. I fell in love with how goergeous it was. I think it’s a great value for the price.❤️ the outside shower was also perfect. When you are lucky, you don’t even need an alarm and you will get a wake up call with gray langurs who stay at the mango trees above 🙏🏻 it’s also really close to a beatiful beach and our favourite Fernando’s market. The owner communites withing minutes which made me feel really asured. The manager of the property is really nice man who’s aleways there.
