    The bathroom was pretty smelly and the room was not ready when we got there ( they thought we were sleeping 3 people in a bed )

    Really good breakfast and ok location :)

    The property is not so clean. Utilities are in bad condition. There is no hot water and no daylight in the room.

    Owners are so nice and kind. They fulfill every our wish. They were like father and mother to us.

    We enjoyed our time here. It is a Cosy cabana with comfy bed. You feel close to nature and there is a great view of sunrise and sunset ! Nice place to chill on the terrace with free tea and coffee !! The host was always so helpful and accommodating. For example One of the taps didn't work in our bathroom and they fixed it immediately !he also gave us a snack for our journey to our next destination. He was very helpful with lots of advice and information on directions of how to get to the cabana, information about the area, activities to do and places to see . The location is great, off the main road in a quiet area but still close to the main part of the town, and a short walk to the beach. Felt very safe there. You can rent a moped/scooter from there too which is very useful in Trincomalee. Thank you for having us !

    Cramped quarters in a beautiful setting
    • Leisure trip

    • Stayed 2 nights

    The room was advertised as enough for 3 people but it fitted no more than two comfortably. The bathroom was tiny with a shower almost co-located with the toilet, and in our cabana, the bathroom tended to flood if you took a shower as drainage was poor. The bidet refers to a health faucet. There is no restaurant. We were told that we could pre-order meals (from a limited but interesting menu) but since staffing is limited to a single caretaker, we chose instead to walk to one of the numerous restaurants nearby, or ask the caretaker (who is quite friendly and obliging) to bring something. Our cabana was on the ground floor so we did not get the beautiful view. There was a small seating area outside the room, though I would not call it a private balcony. The road to the cabana is not tarred and was a bumpy ride on a tuk tuk.

    We did not have breakfast at the hotel as we left too early on both days. The setting of the cabana is very picturesque and green with a beautiful view from the balcony extending to the beach and beautiful azure sea. There is a beach within walking distance, Coconut Beach, which is clean and not very crowded. There are nearby restaurants that put out tables on the beach so that you can have your meal with a view of the sea. The hotel is away from the main road so it is very quiet. Wifi was good when we stayed.

    Woody cabana is such a cute place to stay, all the wooden features make it feel so authentic. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed. In my opinion the nearby restaurants and shops near Uppuveli beach were a lot better than Trincomalee centre so it was a perfect location and a short walk to these restaurants and a beautiful beach. The hosts are a very sweet couple who go above and beyond for you. Whenever we had a problem or a request they went above and beyond like we were part of their family. It was also quiet so slept well. There is a lovely terrace on the top floor to relax. Definitely recommend!

    I felt supervised. They asked when I wanted to cook so they could ‘help me’. I’m a 40 year old woman! The shower was cold and you can’t angle the head The room was dark There were animals nesting in the walls of the cabana. I could hear the animals at night

    Staff were so kind. I made a last minute booking and they stopped lunch and rushed back to let me check in as I was outside. I hadn’t realised they had to bring their lunch back with them. They went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed and was comfortable. They gave me a mosquito net when I asked, provided a fridge in my room and made sure I could use the kitchen. They insisted on buying a new hob so I could cook safely. The roof terrace was lovely and you get a view of the sea, but the steps are extremely steep!

    The only thing we missed was a mosquito net, but we didn't ask for one either. So maybe they can provide one if requested.

    Great value for money. Shan and his wife are very nice and make every effort to ensure their guests have a pleasant stay. They organized a tour and a TukTuk ride for us for an absolutely fair price. Woody Cabana is set back from the main road which makes it very quiet. There is a roof terrace where you can enjoy the sunset. They even provide you crockery, cutlery and a kettle so that you can prepare small meals by yourself. The breakfast was delicious!
