Towels were a little small but when I asked for a replacement they were very accomodating!

The family running this hotel is incredibly warm and intentionally have created a space for travelling families. They were wonderful with my son, providing lots of suggestions on local places to visit to make our stay memorable. They recommended a operator to take us snorkelling (Kamal) and recommended marble beach aswell. Both highlights of our time in Trincomalee. Thanks so much! I also liked that outside of the room was a drying rack to dry all our beach clothes.

Although you have everything you need, the rooms are basic.

Although the accommodation is basic but good, the family is super friendly and makes it feel like a very warm home. They have a great breakfast and the location right at the beach is superb.

I had a great experience during my stay. The room was excellent – very clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff were extremely friendly and supportive, always ready to help with a smile. Their service made the stay even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others and look forward to staying here again.

Nothing

The family who own and run are lovely. They make you feel comfortable and even cooked a delicious crab curry with pittu when asked. Close to the beach. Quiet.

Very nice hotel near to Uppuveli beach. The owner’s family is taking care of all the needs one could possibly had. They are so friendly and welcoming, we felt like being at home.

Great location, great hosts and delicious breakfast! Great connection to the driver Kumar, a whale watching guide and always there for a good talk.

One of the highlights of our trip through Sri Lanka. Jacob and his wife went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. The hotel is spotlessly clean, conveniently located just a few meters from Uppuveli beach and the breakfast is spectacular. Highly recommended also the boat tours with KK Tours, operated by Kamal, which can be arranged through the hotel.

Nothing not to like. Truly a special place

We loved our stay here so much we extended our stay. The hospitality was outstanding, by far the friendliest hosts we have ever encountered and we have travelled a lot!! Jacob was so friendly and warm and we felt like he and his wife treated us like family. The room was super clean, the breakfast was amazing and different every day. There was ample food in fact it filled us up until dinner time. No need for lunch. The atmosphere staying there with other guests that clearly felt as relaxed as us whilst staying at Tibiko was an incredible experience,one that I will not forget. The young man working there was super polite, helpful and very efficient too. I have terminal cancer and travelling whilst I feel well and in-between treatment. This experience was truly healing. I would recommend staying here without a doubt. See you soon Jacob as we certainly intend to visit again.

I honestly love how they treat locals the same as they treat foriegeners. Nowadays, in many places in Sri Lanka, it lacks. The owner Jacob is very friendly, and we feel very welcomed. He also made sure to provide whatever we requested , he was kind and very attentive. The boy who is helping him is also a great kid, he's well educated and talks very good English. Jacob's wife made the breakfast, and it was so delicious. The room was clean and had enough space for 4/5 people, the bathroom was clean, and the room had a cupboard too. And the other best thing is it's just a 1-minute walk to the Uppiveli beach. We all loved our stay. No complaints. Top notch service. Thank you, Jacob and others, for making this stay a memorable one.

The staff and the owners were extremely nice to us. Literally took care of us and made us medicine when we got sick. The rooms and most importantly the toilets were extremely clean. Something I always worry about when booking a hotel. Even the helping staff was extremely nice. We can recommend this place to anyone anytime.

I think this hotel is run by a family so staff and owners are same. They are very friendly and you feel you are at home.
