The atmosphere is unique, making it one of the best and safest spots for family time. Rooms are spacious and clean.

It was a quick stay but the host ensured I had everything I needed from the moment I arrived. The room was very large with lots of areas to sit and or set your personal items on which was appreciated. I had a spacious kitchen to cook if I preferred (grocery store right down the street). The bathroom was on the smaller side but had everything you’d need.

    Neem Forest GH is somewhat outside the city but only a short tuktuk ride away. As a result it is a beautifully peaceful and extremely quiet location. Dawn chorus of birds was amazing. The host was extremely helpful and ready to talk about all matter of subjects. The Sri Lanken breakfast was always too much and the host made sure it was always different. Nearby is the many kilometer long sand beach (no other tourists) where you watch the fishermen pull in their nets of caught fish. Meem Forest is highly recommended.

    Navva operates a guesthouse with 6 rooms, all located on the top floor. We had a large room with balcony. It had a double and single bed, plus T.V., kettle and a folding table and chair. The bathroom had good hot water. Good wifi. Breakfast consisted of egg, fruit and toast. The property is in a side road off of the main road in the centre of town, with a gate and private parking. Our host was helpful and interesting to talk with. He also helped us upstairs with our luggage, which was appreciated.

    Perfect place to stay in my favourite town. 4km bike ride from shops, cafe, beer shop, and restaurants - and 2 minutes walk from the sea. The guesthouse is quiet and well maintained, and the host, Suresh, goes out of his way to help you. And it is inexpensive too 👍

    Juda is a simple and cheap B&B near Kallady beach, a leafy residential area of Batticaloa, about 15 mins by tuk-tuk from the main bus station. The 2 guest bedrooms are clean and have mosquito nets, fans, wi-fi, hard beds and ensuite bathrooms, but no hot water. Breakfast is good: limited dinner options are also available. The hosts are welcoming, and there are bicycles for rental.

    The host was very friendly and the beach very quiet and beautiful! Simple breakfast for low price was not included. You can buy water at the guest house. He took us by motorbike to a place which was offering food and organized that we come back to the guest house. Beautiful garden.
