Akki and his family are great hosts, friendly and super helpful. They provided us with information about everything and organized nice activities for us. The location is really good, the beach is a 2-minute walk. Restaurants and shops are also close by.

The shower has very small power I recommend to use a bottle to fulfill it. Hot in the dorm but if you préfère they also have AC dorm

A very calm and charming guest house. This is not here you will socialise for sure but a nice spot to stay 1,2 nights. Hakki’s mum is very kind, she offers tea in the morning. Was alone when I arrived but then 3 travelers joins and it was nice. It’s clean and comfy dorm. I didn’t do it but they can also arrange snorkel trip and other activities. In the end on average it was a nice stay and good value for the money. Free water is always pleasent. Cute garden area and 2 minutes walking from the beautiful beach !

Akki and his mum are lovely - I felt so welcomed and loved waking up to a coffee every morning. Location is super close to the beach and walking distance from restaurants and scooter hire. Wake up for sunrise if you can!

Great right at the beach front. You can get there by bus. Just ask at the bus stop and they’ll provide with information and will stop close by. Very chill place. Great spot to unwind and discover the east coast.

The best hostel I have stayed at in Sri Lanka. Beautiful, clean, comfortable and so cheap!!! The garden was like garden of Eden, the walls were full of colour and drawings. Akki is the best host and an amazing person to hang out with. Plus, the hostel is a two minute walk from Uppuveli beach. Absolutely loved it! 😍

I am so grateful for every person I have met here since I arrived last week. From the moment I arrived I felt at home with family. I keep extending my stay and I feel like I could stay here forever. Akki is the nicest person I’ve met in my whole trip. He is an amazing host but more than that an amazing friend. And Vesna is a sweetheart <3. The place in itself is great, you have everything you need and more. The rooms and bathrooms are cleaned every day, they have lockers with keys which is really good when you don’t have your own lock. The mom gives you coffee or tea in the morning, and you’re literally 30 meters from Uppuveli beach. They do family dinners ( best moments with the whole family and friends with great food and games ) and organize so many activities for you !!! I love you guys with all my heart, and I am gonna miss you so much .. see you as soon as possible 🤍

I think I don’t need a lot of words…I felt like home. From the first second I arrived I felt so welcomed. I am sad to leave this atmosphere and if I didn’t had a date to leave I would have stayed kind of forever. Thank you and hopefully no goodbye just a see you again!

Mosquitos... Too many in Trinco

So close to the beach and with a great vibe. Akki is really just the best, a loving and caring young boy who will make you have a lot of fun and will bring people together!

I had a great stay at Akki's place! Akki is an excellent host, very welcoming and attentive. The shared room had everything I needed, just as described in the listing. The amenities were all in good condition, and the price was very reasonable for what was offered. Highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a comfortable and budget-friendly option!

We unfortunately had no mosquito nets and considering the area, there were multiple bugs and even frogs which got themselves into our room.

Brilliant location, right by the beach and the place attracts really lovely people. Comfortable beds and plenty of room for four people in my group. Very arty and good seating areas as well. I would definitely recommend to friends next time but bring yourselves a mosquito net!

Stayed in August 2024

The mattresses are old and there are not much possibilities for fresh air in the room. Thereby would be could if they could in any case to do something about the mosquitoes because we had a lot in the room!!

Location is perfect. Nice atmosphere and nice staff! It was clean

The owner akki is very friendly and arranged everything I need It was a great experience

He was working on some updates at the time which I'm excited to see people upload photos of in the future. The outdoor shower wasn't working for a while which let to people tracking a lot more sand into the rooms but he's working on it. Other than that, I wish I could go back and stay another night. Lovely spot.

Akki has come up with a decent concept that be has poured his heart into. It's the perfect definition of the quintessential hostel. A nice place to rest your head, meet some new people if that's your vibe or just have set off into the sunset on your daily adventures. The rooms are clean with fans (no AC) and far away from any noise. The beach access is enviable. It's literally a hop, skip and jump away. Akki is pretty resourceful so hit him up for snorkeling trips, bike or motorcycle rentals or anything else you'd like to get up to.

Nothing

So close to the beach, 30 second walk! Such a chill vibe, hammock, comfy beds. I extended 2 extra nights!

Akki and his family are lovely, most of all his mother, she's such a kind person! The location is amazing, very close to the beach and to the food court. I was very worried about the heat and the plugins because of the other reviews, but actually you have a plugin/person and with the fan on, I honestly slept very well!

Friendly family staff. Coffee/tea served everyday, cleaning done everyday, perfect location right next to the beach and restaurants. Highly recommended.

Stayed in August 2024

it was very very hot and I couldn’t sleep. there are 5 fans in the room but it was a sauna, at night I was going outside because it was cooler, I would recommend an AC, for the rest it’s an amazing place and worth it to go

I really liked the location and the staff super welcoming and ready to help. the rooms are clean, the garden is very beautiful and it gives such good surfers vibes.
