Friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast (a little squirrel always appears to entertain you while you eat). The room is good. A mosquito net is provided but not needed as there were no mosquitoes. Close to the beach area and good restaurants. Aircon was nice, and there's a little fridge in the room. I was happy there.

The walk to the beach is a little further (10 minutes) but we actually really didn’t mind

The host for breakfast and our stay was wonderful!! He was super friendly and the breakfast was everyday different and with a nice view. (Sorry we forgot your name but thank you again)! The room was good, we could choose between aircon and van.

Everything perfect! Spacious and clean room, nice breakfast in very nice terrace, very kind and careful hosts and good position, we could reach the beach and the restaurants/ shops streets by walking. I would recommend!

Road is a bit bumpy but manageble with carful Tuk tuk driving.

Woody Cabana is located a bit outside the center but the remote location is really relaxing and Uppuveli beach is only 10min by foot away. The room with private bathroom and mini fridge was very clean. The staff was really helpful and always present. They have a roof top terrace surrounded by plants which gives a nice atmosphere for tea breaks or a beer in the evening.

- around 1 km from the beach and walking at night did not feel comfortable and safe - overpriced for its location (30$ per night) - strong sewer smell from the bathroom. - yellow stains in the towels and bed sheets - we only had 2 bath towels, no small towels - no soap, although there was a shampoo, body gel and lotion - no window with a glass. Only a Window that has door without a mosquito set. You have to close the window completely during a sleep bro to get insects. So when you wake up, the room is dark. - no hot water - very very basic cold breakfast (we had only 2 cold pancakes, pocket tea, and a few pieces of watermelon). In the pictures in it advertised as a full Sri Lankan breakfast with various food but we did not have anything like this. A normal breakfast needs at least one egg and drinking water. You have to pay for a bottle of water btw. - Tap water is used for tea during breakfast (I don’t think it is safe to drink even if boiled). - John (owner’a helper) is very nice but he did not give us privacy during breakfasts by staying nearby, sometimes staring, and asking too many questions. Sorry I just wanted to have time with my wife, and don’t want someone hovering around me haha - overall the hotel is good but needs improvements considering it is price. 30$ is a lot for a wooden box in the middle of a field

- Eco design (all wood) - Friendly staff and the owner - great recommendations from the owner - quiet - AC - nice terrace

Everything was perfect. Of course the bathroom has another standard then in western countries and one evening a very very small frog smiled at me sitting in the sink but our host explained to us that he doesn’t want to put chemicals in the sink to not destroy the eco system and this made us very happy - it was a really beautiful experience!

Our host was very friendly and helpful and gave us a lot tips for our stay in Trinco and our next stops in Sri Lanka. We enjoyed a lovely and delicious breakfast on top of the woody cabana with a very nice view. Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable.

An amazing guesthouse! My sister and I stayed here for 2 nights and we absolutely loved it here. The husband and wife that run the place are so kind and attentive. They really do make you feel at home. The facility itself is beautiful. There's an upper deck area where you can sit and enjoy your meals. It's shaded and gets a nice breeze as well. The upper deck also has quite a few outlets if you need to get work done on your laptop. The breakfasts are so good! You are given a feast and each breakfast was different so we enjoyed a variety of different sri Lankan meals. If you are staying in Trincomalee, I highly recommend this place!

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.

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!

Lovely quiet room 5 minute walk from the main road. Great breakfast in the roof top restaurant. The host couldn't do enough for 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 !

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!

The infrastructure in the room is not good. The shower is right on the toilet and everything gets wet when you shower. There is no hot water. There was a terrible smell of sewage and urine in the bathroom, especially during the shower. The interior of the room is made of plywood boards in a bad condition. The room itself is not very clean (to say the least) There is a very nice view upstairs, but the view from the balcony of the room is well hidden. When I opened the suitcase I found a cute cockroach there. At night, rats (or other animals) run around inside the roof. It was very unpleasant. The beach is about a 10 minute walk away and you have to take a shuttle to the city. In booking it days that there is a restaurant in the hotel, but there is not. You can order food, but no restaurant. Price is quite high related to the area. Very dissapointing

You cannot open a window in the room, so it is very dark and you can sleep at any hour. The owners of the hotel are very nice, especially Sathiyaselan, who was exceptionally nice

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.

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!
