Set 500 metres from Uppuveli beach, Nongu Home offers air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace. This recently renovated guest house is located 4 km from Kanniya Hot Springs and 5.2 km from Trincomalee Railway Station. The guest house has private entrance.

Everything was great, location, host was really friendly and helped us a lot, the bathroom is so cool! Also they put hooks up on the walls (saw this mentioned on other reviews) so it’s not a problem with bags. I actually just left mine outside the whole time because the rooms are in an enclosed area. One of your favourite stays in Sri Lanka!

We'd only booked for two nights but extended to four as we needed to rest and relax. Our room was of a reasonable standard, but on occasions it smelt of sewage. The bathroom sink and the shower drain haven't got 'U' bends so the smell is not prevented from escaping into the room. Shame as everything else was good. The electric shower worked well with hot water. The air conditioner worked well but there was something wrong with the remote control as it was tempremental and didn't work well. We stuck it on 30c and used the fan instead. It would be nice to have tea and coffee making facilities in the room. However the main reason for our extended stay was the huge clean swimming pool which was brilliant. We had it mostly to ourselves as there are only six rooms and only five were let. Most people staying went out for most of the day leaving the pool to us. The water was warm too. My little thermometer read 33.4c. Overall a good place to stay lots of restaurants nearby and the beach is juat a stones throw away. The waste pipes just need 'U' bends to stop the smell.

    I loved the sense of peace and Rangan’s total goodness and beautiful smile! The facilities are basic as you’d expect for such a reasonably priced hostel, but it was clean and welcoming abd the garden was beautiful as was the coffee. Just the loveliest people in a great location near the beach

    The guest house was very quiet, with a lovely pool and trees that offered shade.There were no breakfast options but overall the property was excellent value, being a five minute walk to the best part of the beach and with good restaurants nearby. Venu does a great job, welcoming guests with a friendly smile, as well as looking after everything else.

    Nice hotel, clean, comfortable, great location - practically on the beach. The owner is a great host, super helpful and responsive on WhatsApp. Scooter rental available at the property. On our last evening we took a cooking class with the owners wife which was great. The food was tasty. Very good price as well. The owner also kindly arranged a taxi back to Negombo for us for an unbeatable price. Recommended.

    Ubay Guest House is a high quality accommodation 200 meters away from Uppuveli beach. The surroundings are modest but you can find everything you may need. The bed was extremely comfortable. The food from Paul’s (the host) restaurant is very delicious! I had fresh prawns and fish and was mesmerized. Recommended!
