Just about walking distance from getting off the overnight bus from Matara to Trincomilee. Staff were first class. Perfect English spoken and the Guy was very informative,he also arranged scooter hire. Breakfast was included so fantastic value for money.

The area itself. I did not do my research. This North East coastal area is strictly seasonal and it was a total waste of 3 days off my Sri Lanka trip going there. It's virtually deserted,no people and many places are closed or empty. The beaches are dirty and the ocean is not clear The seas are far too rough so all boats are grounded. Forget Pigeon Island,it's closed and that was the only reason I went there,to snorkel with the black tip sharks. I believe their season is February to August but please check? DO NOT GO IN NOVEMBER!!!!! You have been warned

During all of my stay Jakob and his wife have been very helpful and kind. Thanks to them, they recommended many spécial places to see. They helped me to rent scooter, do my laundry, find great places to visit, eventhough it wasn't the perfect season to come to Trincomaley. Marble beach was incredible. So I recommend to stay at Tobiko for all these reasons if you come to this side of Sri Lanka. Moreover breakfast was a real treat ! Thanks for everything ! 100m away from the beach.

The bed was probably the most comfortable we've had in Sri Lanka. The owners are very gentle and kind and the staff are excellent. We had the top level room facing the ocean and it was excellent. The breakfast was very delicious and filling. The owners feed the local dogs and so they hang around the front gate. Intially we were a bit unsure but the dogs were actually super friendly and act as security 🤣 and they don't go into the house. What they do for the street dogs is amazing as we have seen many strays in Sri Lanka and this is the first time we have seen them being so kindly looked after.

The host and his family are amazing! They were always extremely kind and very helpful with everything we needed. They take care of the stray dogs and showed us little puppies which is why there will be dogs around and in the house. They even shared a private parking spot for our TukTuk so that it is always save. Breakfast was different everyday and a mixture of traditional Sri Lankan cuisine and western options such as jam, butter, eggs, and toast. The house is located 1 min walk from the beach, however, the main beach of Uppuveli was a 20 mins walk which was fine in our opinion. When we left they made sure we were safely in our drivers car. One of the best accomodations we stayed in during our travels!!!

The only thing could be the distance to the main centres of Trincomalee or Uppuveli, and that we had to pay in cash. However, these are minor things and totally fine in our opinion.

It was a really great experience for us. Jacob and Ivonn are people with big kind hearts and owners who help you with everything. The rooms are clean, the bed is comfy and they clean the room regularly. The breakfast here is absolutely amazing: local fresh food, different day by day, so delicious! The AC works perfectly and it helped us to survive when it was boiling hot. The beach is beautiful and there are many local cafes around. But the most wonderful thing is that you feel like at home in this place because of Jacob and Ivonn who make you feel that you are important. Now we are still travelling throughout Sri Lanka and no one in other places is as friendly as they are. 1000000% recommended.

Great place in a quiet area directly on the beach. The owners are really helpful and caring. The will give you good advice about excursions, restaurants, public transport etc. The breakfast is really good and got a lot of variety. Also rooms are spacious. But overall the people make the stay. Thank you Jacob for all the good care and wonderful stay. Kind regards: From Rose, Sacha and Victor

Not the area with most restaurants, but tuktuk is really cheap so no problem.

Mr and Mrs Jacob were truly a delight! We decided at the last minute to go to Trincomalee and they had two great rooms available plus a smaller room for our driver. They were kind, hospitable, generous hosts! The rooms were clean and in good condition with nice bathrooms. The breakfast which was included was DELICIOUS! They also were friendly, provided advice on places to eat and see and were incredibly kind and attentive to my autistic brother. Highly recommend this place to stay at a family owned place. We'll definitely be coming back!

Coconut and onion salad for breakfast (is this salad?) It's very delicious. The breakfast is delicious. Everyone in the hotel is gentle and friendly. The male host helped me contact to see dolphins and go to Pigeon Island. All the arrangements were perfect and gave us all the help we needed. The hostess saw that I came back with the fruit and gave us plates and cutlery. She would also help patiently with some confusion about the use of the facilities. The room is very clean, close to uppuveli beach. It is also convenient to call tutu to the city center.

Lovely family running this hotel. More of a homestay/guesthouse feel than a hotel. Felt really welcomed and nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely recommend staying here. The breakfast was also very good, all fresh and homemade with something new each day.

The gate is padlocked so you have to ask to be let in and out. This was never an issue but I’d rather be able to come and go myself.

We had the best stay here! The owners and the staff went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and at home. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, we wished we could've stayed longer. The beach is also just a hop, skip and a jump away and you can witness some of the most beautiful sunrises here. The breakfast here was also amazing! Safe to say we'd be coming back here the next time we're in Trinco.

Nothing!
