Nothing

Wonderful family run guesthouse, great value for money, delicious food. We ate breakfast lunch and dinner here. Loved our stay at Vibushan, would definitely stay again. Much nicer and more authentic than trincomalee.

We spend a wonderful time ! It felt like home! they organized for us a wonderful trip to pigeon island and we also rent a bike for a few days! Also the food was amazing ! The room was super spacious and clean, the outside patio was a great place to rest after one day of seaside ! Totally recommended

Everything was great😊

We felt at home from the very first moment and it was hard to leave Vibushan Guest House. The place is quiet, cosy and relaxing, less than 10 minutes from Nilaveli beach. The food is AMAZING, one of the best curries we had in Sri Lanka! Breakfast was amazing as well. Everyone was really kind and helpful. We went dolphin watching, snorkeling and got the best massage so far in Sri Lanka👀 If you’re planning to go to Nilaveli, Vibushan Guest House is the perfect place to stay🌊

We had no blankets. But other than that it was good!

It’s a cozy place and you have everything you need. Shops are nearby. They own a restaurant where you can have breakfast, lunch and dinner. The beach is really close and beautiful!

Music that played out the back at about 6am, no idea where it was from but it woke me quite a bit. Would have liked a more frequent room clean but if I asked they did it but kept forgetting to leave my key for them 🙄 Would have liked some different drinks for sale there as it was beer, water and sometimes wine. The wine was really nice though x

I booked Vibushan from the feedback. If you want basic,clean, affordable and comfortable then this place is for you. I did have an ant problem in my bathroom but this is a ground floor accommodation in Sri Lanka so what do you expect 🤷. I managed to lose my key one night and they managed to get me in. I did find the key again x The food here was way better than most places around, I loved it 😍 tasty and plenty of it, refills if I wanted. The restaurant is a definite attraction for this accommodation. I sorted a safari trip out with the owner and it was fab, so grateful for an amazing day trip 🐘 I had a double room with AC which I recommend, I only used it to cool down then the fan was enough overnight x The area was quiet, and easy walk to the beach, not too far from dive centres and a lovely husband and wife juice stand not far down that did the best lemon juice around 😍 I was here for 18 nights as I was just there to chill and dive and it was as I said basic, but a really good price. The family are helpful, kind and friendly x

Welcoming staff, clean rooms and good food! We went snorkeling on Angel Rock which was super nice.

No complaints.

Proximity to beach on foot or tuk tuk,easy. Great food, food made around my activities as needed. Hammocks and relaxing area. Nearby local laundry 800LKR /kilo immaculately ready next morning. Owner will connect you to boats for local adventures, very organised. Family operated, I like this.

Leaving, we wanted to stay longer

A lovely warm welcome from sameera the owner. He helped us book our diving, birdwatching, lagoon trip, fishing, Trincomalee tour and transfers. Nothing was too much trouble. Fantastic home cooked food at very good prices, we didn't need to look for anywhere else to eat. They even cooked the fish we caught free of charge. The atmosphere at vibushan was vibrant with other friendly travelers enjoying the same. Nothing was too much trouble, we didn't want to leave.

If you are looking for a comfortable, friendly and vibrant place this is the right one! I've done almost all my meals with them and I really enjoyed them. Amazing breakfast and currys. Samire is always taking care of your needs and helps in everything he can. Prices are more than acceptable with a good quality-price rate. For me it was the best choice in Nilaveli!

Would have been nice if soap would have been provided in the shower and if the shower would have been warm. No big deal, small suggestion for improvement :)

Absolute value for money. The room was small but clean, and since the weather is so good, we didn't spent much time in our room. The kottu from the restaurant was very good!

Nothing to say. Everything was great.

We originally planned to stay just two nights but ended up spending five. This guest house has such a good vibe: peaceful, clean, and run by a genuinely kind and honest family. The owners, Samira and Kamalini are incredibly welcoming, available to help, give advice and transparent about pricing. Service was great! The food was delicious (good portion and fair price). The rooms and common areas are spotless, and everything is kept with care. It’s the perfect place to relax, away from the noise, yet just a short walk from the beach. Highly recommended if you’re looking for somewhere quiet, clean, and full of positive energy, close to the ocean.

Nothing I can think of — except maybe having to leave when we did .

Everything. The room with AC was excellent. The food was fresh,clean,,home cooked and tasty,served up in good time,and at an extremely good price. The choice of coffee and teas were great - we particularly enjoyed the French press. It was hot outside but kept cool inside the restaurant and had a really good vibe going down with all the well satisfied customers. The family all helped run things efficiently and with a smile . The owner and his wife are a lovely couple and very helpful arranging whatever you need ie tuk tuks ,boat trips,snorkelling etc. If I pass this way again I know I don’t need to look anywhere else - everything I need is here .

Vibushan and his family made our stay in Nilaveli delightful. The food they offer throughout the day is delicious (shoutout to the chocolate rotti), the rooms were clean, the AC good and he helped us organize excursions and activities in the area. Definitely very good value for money, would recommend staying there.

Nilaveli is a beautiful beach and the family who run Vibushan Guest house made my visit very easy. Comfortable room, super clean and with lots of areas to relax on the property. They also quickly organised a snorkeling trip for the next day at a reasonable price. The location is a short stroll through the small village to the beach.

Shower in the single room non AC could do with more pressure and/or a better shower head.

Lovely little hostel with a nice host really bent on helping his guests Amenities are a tad simple and bare, but super clean and functional. The hammocks are a nice touch. Great selection of exotic tea, and the food on the spot is decent

Everything was fine for me, matched the budget perfectly with expectations

Super nice family owned guesthouse, meals were always delicious and very budget friendly. Location was 5 minutes walk to the beach and a short stroll along the beach to the dive shops. Very easy location with plenty of facilities available in the area

A lovely little guest house to base yourself to explore the absolutely stunning Nilaveli beach. Decent food and comfortable rooms. We enjoyed lying in the hammocks. Such a beautiful beach being a 5 minute walk away is the real highlight here though.
