A beautiful little oasis with a wonderful garden, a kitten that thinks he's a lion and an owner who treats you with kindness and makes you feel at home from the minute you get there. One of the more memorable stays of our trip!

This is a perfect location next to the beach, with a quiet and beautiful garden to relax in. I stayed in the dorm, which was clean and comfortable. I also went on a snorkelling trip with Rangam, which was absolutely brilliant, and had breakfast and dinner in the restaurant, which were both very tasty. I can't recommend this place highly enough as a place to really relax and enjoy the area.

I wish I could rate this place 11. Rangan is amazing and we had such a great time. Comfortable room, great value for money, excellent food, close to the beach, and Rangan is just the man to help you arrange snorkeling and diving. More than a place to stay: a home away from home!

Great place to stay near the beach. Rangan and his team are awesome. They create a welcoming homely vibe and are super helpful. The food is really tasty and the garden is great to hang out in. The snorkeling trip was excellent due to Rangan's guiding as he shares his knowledge and passion for the ocean with his guests.

The White House is a beautiful and relaxing space, only a short walk away from the beach. Rangan is a wonderful host, he and his staff are friendly and helpful. The courtyard has a lovely bohemian feel where it’s very easy to spend time reading a book in a hammock or trying one of their tasty menu options

Rangan and Roshin make your stay so comfortable. It’s an oasis in paradise, with free tea and coffee. The fish dishes in the restaurant are PHENOMENAL. Rangan is a font of knowledge, snorkeling at pigeon island is a MUST and Rangan will make all arrangements. It’s beautifully situated, so close to the beach and not far at all from Trincomlee. Staying here was a highlight of my holiday.

Nothing in particular, maybe the bathroom could use a glow up

It was a really pleasant stay, nice atmosphere and really cool staff. We also had dinner and breakfast here and everything was delicious. The scuba diving at pigeon island that they organized was really unique. Strong recommend

It’s not a problem being simple but the basic facilities should be good enough. Like the fan speed was a nightmare.

The ambience is really simple and nice

No key to lock/unlock the main door entrance to the property. Door always seemed unlocked. Although staff were always present. Private rooms did have a lockable door.

Relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff & host

Experience could be enhanced by adding curtains to beds

Rangan is a lovely host! He really cares about the experience of his guests and will do his best to make sure you have a good time. The place is simple yet comfortable with a nice design. Rangan has made a lovely outdoor area and restaurant for you to chill with the other guests. An intimate and cozy place, good vibes

Nothing - I’m sad we were only able to stay for one night and wish it could have been more!

Breakfast was amazing - Rangan was busy on a snorkeling tour but got his cousin to come and make us tea and breakfast which was so kind!!

A good amount of cash was stolen from my bag. Maybe I was careless not to keep it locked. So you gotta be careful

Great location. The place is beautifully maintained. The host, Rangan is extremely helpful from arranging your snorkeling trip to everything you need.

Rangan's engaging and welcoming personality. Rangan and his nephew prepared beautiful meals. Highlight was snorkel trip with Rangan to Pigeon Island.

Oh my god - what a nice guest house in Trincomalee! It made all the difference for my stay in Trincomalee. The house is beautiful and cozy with a nice garden, cute rooms, very clean, perfect location. Everything you need is there. But the best is Rangan, the host. He was so welcoming and did everything he could that we have the best stay in Trinco. His snorkeling and boat tours are the best - big recommendation! And his food is a m a z i n g! I would always come back if I am in Trincomalee again.

Rangan was an exceptional host who went above and beyond for his visitors. It was very close to the beach and very secure.
