    The White House in Trincomalee was great value for money, with clean and comfortable rooms. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach. The staff treated me like family and made me feel right at home.

    Breakfast choices could be improved.

    Well-maintained garden with palm trees. Friendly and attentive hosts cooked delicious meals. Snorkeling trip with unique sightings. Safe and relaxed atmosphere. Home away from home.

    From the moment we arrived, we felt at home and welcomed by the host. The outdoor area with hammocks was a perfect spot to relax. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The delicious breakfast prepared with love was a highlight. The location was excellent, with good local restaurants and a clean beach nearby. The snorkelling trip organized by the host was unforgettable.

    There was nothing I didn't like.

    Staff at the accommodation are always available to provide information at the reception. This incredible reception staff didn't just give us information, they practically became our personal tour guides! They knew all the best spots in Trincomalee, offering recommendations with passion and enthusiasm. It felt like having a team of local experts at our fingertips.

    WiFi is very slow. The only downside was the WiFi, which was slower than a sloth participating in a snail race.

    The value for money at The White House was amazing, with fantastic food and spacious rooms. The location was convenient, just a short 5-minute walk to the beach. The staff, especially Ranga and his Aunt, made us feel like part of their family and were knowledgeable and thorough in arranging snorkeling and diving tours.

    The breakfast experience could have been improved with more variety and options.

    I had an amazing time at a cozy guesthouse in Trincomalee. The owner, Rangan, went above and beyond to make me feel at home. He not only arranged transportation and snacks for a snorkeling tour, but he also knew exactly where to find turtles and little sharks! The rooms were comfortable, the breakfast was delicious, and the garden was a lovely place to relax. I highly recommend this place for a memorable stay.

    We stayed at White House in Trincomalee for a week and had a fantastic time. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with a choice of private or shared bathrooms. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach and nearby restaurants. One of the highlights of our stay was the delicious food prepared by Rangan and his mom at Rangans. The breakfasts were outstanding and different every day. Rangan was an amazing host, offering tea and cookies, organizing trips, and providing helpful advice. The lovely garden with hammocks and a covered terrace was a great place to relax. We will definitely be back!

    Couldn't recommend this hotel more.

    We had such an incredible time at The White House! The host, Rangan, was the kindest person we've ever met. He was caring, funny, and incredibly helpful. The garden was perfect for relaxing, and the beach was just a short walk away. The rooms and bathrooms were clean, with mosquito nets and fans. Rangan even offered snorkeling and diving tours. We couldn't recommend this place enough!

    Strongly recommend this hotel.

    Lovely garden with lots of shade, hammocks and a covered terrace. Great, spontaneous and helpful host. Organizes snorkelling excursions to Pigeon Island. Good breakfast. Good atmosphere. 5 min walk from Uppuveli beach. Restaurants nearby. Good price/quality. Laundry facilities.

    Felt like visiting family, no complaints at all.

    Loved the delicious continental breakfast and the cozy shared lounge. The staff were always available at reception, except when they were busy not answering the phone. The free WiFi was conveniently weak and slow, just how I like it.

    Who needs clear directions or a visible sign? Getting lost is all part of the adventure!

    Wifi was unreliable.

    We had a warm and friendly welcome with delicious coffee, tea, and cake. The manager, Rangan, gave us great tips on things to do in the area. The location is perfect, right next to the beach and close to many nice restaurants. The food at the hotel itself was also very good.

    The bed was uncomfortable and the mosquito net was too small. This was the only downside to the room, which was otherwise good.

    The food was absolutely fantastic and the staff were amazing and hospitable. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach. The snorkeling and diving tours organized by the staff were top-notch and allowed us to explore the beautiful underwater world. the clean and comfortable rooms made our stay even more enjoyable.

    While the rooms were clean and comfortable, the price seemed to be a bit high for what we received. The WiFi was slow or non-existent at times, which was a bit inconvenient.
