Pros:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 – Excellent Stay at WoodyCrest Hotel, Trincomalee!

We had a wonderful stay at WoodyCrest Hotel in Trincomalee. The place was clean, comfortable, peaceful, and very welcoming. Everything was well maintained, and the atmosphere made our stay truly relaxing.

A special mention goes to Hari, the caretaker, who was exceptionally helpful, friendly, and attentive throughout our stay. He made sure we were comfortable and was always ready to assist whenever we needed anything. His hospitality really made a difference and deserves special appreciation.

We highly recommend WoodyCrest Hotel to anyone visiting Trincomalee. Great hospitality, a pleasant environment, and excellent service. Definitely a 10/10 experience! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Highly recommended — and a big thank you to Hari for making our stay so enjoyable! 🙏😊

Pros:

Nothing. I did not stay in this hotel

Cons:

There is no access road to the hotel. Maintained by boy at the premises. No reception or front desk
It is required that BOOKING.COM verify the details and include in the list. I had trouble to get the location. After finding I observed that it is on the hill uneven planes and noticed danger of falling. No street light upto 500 MTRS. You can't go in the night. I did not dear to stay and stayed in another hotel

Pros:

5 sterren voor de concierge: Hari. Hij is daar continu 24/24 en altijd bereikbaar via whatsapp. Aangename jongeheer!

Voor het verblijf:
Geven we maar 3 sterren.

Cons:

We verbleven voor 2 nachten in de basic 3 persoonskamer. Eenmaal we toekwamen, zag de tuin totaal niet verzorgd uit.
- De airco op de kamer konden we niet uitzetten, reageerde niet op het bakje.

- we hadden geen warm water om te douchen. Wanneer dit werd gemeld, was de uitleg dat er geen brander aanwezit was in die kamer… Voor het douchen mochten we in een andere kamer.
Wat vreemd dat je dan uitgerekend deze kamer krijgt terwijl we de enige gasten waren die er verbleven…

- het ontbijt was niet slecht maar ook niet super. Wat aan de droge kant en ook niets van drankje erbij.

- je verblijft op 8 minuten wandelen van het strand! Wat wel dichtbij is maar het hotel ligt in een afgelegen grind straat met bijna geen verlichting.

Voor de prijs dat je betaald is het niet super slecht, maar de foto’s op booking zijn toch wat misleidend.

Great Place just 10min away from the beach
Pros:

We stayed at the Woody Crest Hotel and are very happy we choose this place in Trincomalee.
It is just a few minutes away from the Most Beautiful beach and Hari, the man working here is so kind.
He gave us a tasty breakfast every morning and he is always so polite. When we arrived we asked him if he had some water and he directly went to the neighbour to get some for us.
So we are very happy and would come back again😊

Horrible experience. Do not recommend this “hotel” at all.
Pros:

Nic

Cons:

We booked 2 nights here and traveled 6 hours by bus from Jaffna just for a weekend to stay in Trincomalee. We were completely exhausted, and when we arrived in the morning, we found out that Woody Crest Hotel had sent us a request to cancel our reservation – at midnight, just a few hours before our arrival!
Before that, we were receiving messages about WiFi, 24-hour reception and other details about the accommodation. But once we got there, the place was empty. No one was there, no one answered the phone, and obviously there was no 24-hour reception. When we finally reached them by message, the only reply we got was: “sorry, your room is under reconstruction.” Clearly a lie, since there was nobody at the “hotel” at all.
I even messaged again asking if they were joking and what we were supposed to do now – and they just ignored me. A few hours later, instead of helping us, they sent a request for a 5-star review for our “delightful stay.”

Tranquilidad y relax
Pros:

La cama era muy cómoda y habitación espaciosa. Agua caliente y buena wifi.
Buenas vistas.

Cons:

No estaba muy limpio, y el desayuno fue un pan de molde entero y sandía. El día de antes nos preguntaron si queríamos tortilla o huevo frito pero nunca lo vimos.

Pros:

Host disponibile, camera spaziosa, rapporto qualità/prezzo accettabile a Trincomalee, posizione vicina alla spiaggia

Cons:

La camera, fin dal nostro arrivo, non si presentava in buone condizioni: pulizia scarsa, numerosi insetti a causa della finestra del bagno che non si chiudeva, tende rotte, e sia cuscini che letto presentavano macchie. Nel complesso, l’aspetto generale della stanza era trascurato e poco accogliente. Non c’è uno spazio dedicato alla colazione: l’host la porta direttamente in camera, ma non rispecchiava gli standard attesi e il vassoio restava in camera per tutta la giornata.

Peut être c'est de la mauvaise chance
Pros:

Le personnel a été accueillant et servciale.

Cons:

Nous avons eu notre chambre inondée à cause de l'évacuation des eaux bouchées et une énorme pluie. Nous sommes rester sans électricité toute la nuit et la matinée. Ils nous sont dit que c'était da s tout le village alors que c'était faux.
Le petit déjeuner très minable. Nous avons eux le droit à 4 morceaux de pain et de fruit.
