Woody Cabana

Friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast (a little squirrel always appears to entertain you while you eat). The room is good. A mosquito net is provided but not needed as there were no mosquitoes. Close to the beach area and good restaurants. Aircon was nice, and there's a little fridge in the room. I was happy there.

The host for breakfast and our stay was wonderful!! He was super friendly and the breakfast was everyday different and with a nice view. (Sorry we forgot your name but thank you again)! The room was good, we could choose between aircon and van.

The walk to the beach is a little further (10 minutes) but we actually really didn’t mind

Everything perfect! Spacious and clean room, nice breakfast in very nice terrace, very kind and careful hosts and good position, we could reach the beach and the restaurants/ shops streets by walking. I would recommend!

Woody Cabana is located a bit outside the center but the remote location is really relaxing and Uppuveli beach is only 10min by foot away. The room with private bathroom and mini fridge was very clean. The staff was really helpful and always present. They have a roof top terrace surrounded by plants which gives a nice atmosphere for tea breaks or a beer in the evening.

Road is a bit bumpy but manageble with carful Tuk tuk driving.

- Eco design (all wood) - Friendly staff and the owner - great recommendations from the owner - quiet - AC - nice terrace

- around 1 km from the beach and walking at night did not feel comfortable and safe - overpriced for its location (30$ per night) - strong sewer smell from the bathroom. - yellow stains in the towels and bed sheets - we only had 2 bath towels, no small towels - no soap, although there was a shampoo, body gel and lotion - no window with a glass. Only a Window that has door without a mosquito set. You have to close the window completely during a sleep bro to get insects. So when you wake up, the room is dark. - no hot water - very very basic cold breakfast (we had only 2 cold pancakes, pocket tea, and a few pieces of watermelon). In the pictures in it advertised as a full Sri Lankan breakfast with various food but we did not have anything like this. A normal breakfast needs at least one egg and drinking water. You have to pay for a bottle of water btw. - Tap water is used for tea during breakfast (I don’t think it is safe to drink even if boiled). - John (owner’a helper) is very nice but he did not give us privacy during breakfasts by staying nearby, sometimes staring, and asking too many questions. Sorry I just wanted to have time with my wife, and don’t want someone hovering around me haha - overall the hotel is good but needs improvements considering it is price. 30$ is a lot for a wooden box in the middle of a field

Our host was very friendly and helpful and gave us a lot tips for our stay in Trinco and our next stops in Sri Lanka. We enjoyed a lovely and delicious breakfast on top of the woody cabana with a very nice view. Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable.

Everything was perfect. Of course the bathroom has another standard then in western countries and one evening a very very small frog smiled at me sitting in the sink but our host explained to us that he doesn’t want to put chemicals in the sink to not destroy the eco system and this made us very happy - it was a really beautiful experience!

An amazing guesthouse! My sister and I stayed here for 2 nights and we absolutely loved it here. The husband and wife that run the place are so kind and attentive. They really do make you feel at home. The facility itself is beautiful. There's an upper deck area where you can sit and enjoy your meals. It's shaded and gets a nice breeze as well. The upper deck also has quite a few outlets if you need to get work done on your laptop. The breakfasts are so good! You are given a feast and each breakfast was different so we enjoyed a variety of different sri Lankan meals. If you are staying in Trincomalee, I highly recommend this place!

We did not have breakfast at the hotel as we left too early on both days. The setting of the cabana is very picturesque and green with a beautiful view from the balcony extending to the beach and beautiful azure sea. There is a beach within walking distance, Coconut Beach, which is clean and not very crowded. There are nearby restaurants that put out tables on the beach so that you can have your meal with a view of the sea. The hotel is away from the main road so it is very quiet. Wifi was good when we stayed.

The room was advertised as enough for 3 people but it fitted no more than two comfortably. The bathroom was tiny with a shower almost co-located with the toilet, and in our cabana, the bathroom tended to flood if you took a shower as drainage was poor. The bidet refers to a health faucet. There is no restaurant. We were told that we could pre-order meals (from a limited but interesting menu) but since staffing is limited to a single caretaker, we chose instead to walk to one of the numerous restaurants nearby, or ask the caretaker (who is quite friendly and obliging) to bring something. Our cabana was on the ground floor so we did not get the beautiful view. There was a small seating area outside the room, though I would not call it a private balcony. The road to the cabana is not tarred and was a bumpy ride on a tuk tuk.
