Basic guesthouse, top locatie, lieve mensen!
Pros:

Basic guesthouse, maar lekker want 100m van dé plek op het strand van Uppuvelli Beach: Hawaii bar & restaurant. Pak je bedje daar, drink en lunch en schuif direct door naar happy hour in een van de zitzakken, en daarna een tafeltje met je voeten in het zand. Thé place to be, en daarna 100m naar je bedje. Lekker ontbijt, lieve mensen, value for money.

Cons:

Onze vloer werd wat zanderig; een bezem, stoffer en blik zou handig zijn geweest zodat je zelf de boel netjes kunt houden…

Cosy hotel for cosy vacation destination
Pros:

hotel is very nearby the beach. Elena was very helpfull about everything. Eventhough it is small enterprice hotel she made small gestures to make customers happy, to illustrate there was bananas, water, tooth brush and paste kit even lots of 5star hotels dont do :) Hotel is super cosy. Destination, Trincomalee, is cosy and vibe is super matching.

Superbe à tout point de vue, je recommande vivement pour passer un très bon séjour à Trincomalee.
Pros:

La proximité avec la plage et les restaurants. L’accueil et la disponibilité de Elena et du personnel. Les espaces communs bien aménagés et verts.
La propreté de la chambre.

Cons:

Rien à signaler hormis une petite remarque sur la difficulté à évacuer le sable dans la salle de bain après la douche.

我会为了这家旅馆再来亭可马里的
Pros:

位置特别好，走两三分钟就能到海滩，周边有超市和很多餐馆。房间设施很完善，布置得很别致精巧，房间里面香喷喷的。Elena特别特别好，好热情，招待十分周到，让我有宾至如归的体验。猫猫狗狗也很乖。如果对亭可马里没有什么旅游计划的话，elena也会帮忙介绍一些出游项目，并帮忙预定安排。我真的好喜欢这里

Pros:

Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber und die Ausstattung ordentlich.
Elena und ihre ladies haben sich gut um uns gekümmert und uns bei der Suche nach guten Angeboten für Pigeon Island sowie Flughafentransfer unterstützt :)

Der Strand ist fußläufig in wenigen Minuten erreichbar, dies gilt auch für Restaurants, ATMs und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten.

Klare Empfehlung unsererseits!

Cons:

Lediglich der Wasserdruck war manchmal gering, das ist aber nicht untypisch für die Unterkünfte hier.

Kleine grüne Oase
Pros:

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt um zwei Nächte verlängert. Die Lage zum Strand ist einfach top. Direkt am Strand stehen Gratis Liegen zur Verfügung.
Elena hat eine kleine grüne Oase geschaffen, man fühlt sich sofort wohl.
Sie hat uns Ausflüge sowie Fahrer organisiert.
Ich kann die Unterkunft nur wärmstens empfehlen, sie wird uns in Erinnerung bleiben.
Strand, Bars, Supermärkte alles easy zu Fuß zu erreichen.

Ich hatte eine superschöne Zeit bei Elena!
Pros:

Elena ist das Herzstück der Anlage und immer sehr bemüht, alle Wünsche zu erfüllen. Die Anlage ist nur wenige Gehminuten vom Strand und Restaurants, was für mich besonders wichtig war, da ich zum Tauchen dort war. Sie organisiert schnell und unkompliziert einen Roller und so war ich flexibel und selbstständig um auf Erkundung zu gehen. Ich mag es sehr, wenn ich mich für mich auch draussen hinsetzen kann und fand das Zimmer und Sitzgelegenheit sehr schön.
Ich habe mich dort so wohl gefühlt, dass ich nun spontan nochmals hinfahre und wieder bei Elena bleiben werde.

Pros:

Proximity to beach, restaurants, and a short way to trincomalee in a Tuk-Tuk. Make sure you read the signs on your door. There are warnings for travellers.
Elena was a lovely host and was always happy to help us out or provide a cup of tea

Cons:

No tea or coffee facilities in the rooms

Pros:

The room was by far the most beautifully furnished one I have experienced in Sri Lanka in my budget category so far — and I have now been travelling through Sri Lanka for about half a year. I especially liked the thick duvet; it almost felt like being at home.

What deserves special mention is the care and honesty of the owner. Only late in the evening after my departure did I realize that I had forgotten a small bag with money in the room. I contacted Elena, the bag was found, and I was able to pick it up again after another five-hour journey. I would like to express my sincere thanks for that once more.
