Great location right next to the beach. Convenient for a 1 night stay if you don’t want to stay in town. Host gave us restaurant recommendations. They had a bunch of cute kittens at the time we were staying.

Ganske udmærket værelse, dog manglede et køleskab. Der var dog et fælles man kunne benytte. Ejer kørte os til restaurant i som tuk-tuk Meget stille område
Fik aldrig wi-fi koden Det ligger rimeligt langt væk fra butikker og restauranter men meget tæt på strand. Sørg for at handle drikkevarer inden du kommer derud.
La habitación era amplia para 3, las camas cómodas y el jardín otro agradable que daba a la playa. El desayuno de los mejores que hemos tomado en Sri Lanka y la familia que lo llevaba super agradable.
Nada
Cortesia e gentilezza. Grazie
Tout : emplacement face a la plage, chambres confortables pour 3 et hôtes très accueillant et sympathique!
Rien tout était parfait !
De kamer was ruim en proper. Het verblijf ligt vlakbij het strand (enkel de straat oversteken). Het is een zo goed als verlaten strand, voor de liefhebbers. Het contact met de eigenaar verliep heel vlot en eerlijk. Wij raden dit verblijf zeker aan als je naar Batticaloa wil reizen.
Wij vonden het ontbijt vrij duur voor wat het maar is. Het staat je uiteraard vrij om ergens anders te gaan ontbijten.
Prima kamer met goed bed, AC en goede badkamer. Ik was op doorreis en had hier een prima overnachting. De eigenaar heeft me een restaurant aanbevolen en was zo vriendelijk mij te brengen en halen met de scooter. Ontbijt met fruit spiegelei en jam op toast. Strand is leeg, weinig toeristen te zien maar mooi.
Really great place to stay in Nawalady. The bikes are a big plus since cycling along the coast on quiet roads is really nice. It's the kind of place where I want to extend another day, and then another day...
Great location
Emplacement idéal pour profiter de la plage. Personnel très sympathique.
Un peu éloigné du centre ville et des restaurants mais on peut prendre des tuk tuk.
Lovely place. The owner Thinesh couldn't do enough to make my stay comfortable. I would recommend requesting a Sri Lankan breakfast - it was delicious.
Surrounding and Beachfront was highly valuable. Accommodation was comfortable and cosy. Friendly owner and his family who has made my day on 14th April with traditional Kiribath and other treats that was remembered ever.
Everything was comfortable and commendable.
The breakfast was excellent, beautifully presented and super fruits
Nothing
Sehr freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber. Hat mich im 4.30 a.m. zum Bus gebracht und sich um alle Fragen gekümmert. Die Lage ist direkt am Meer. Die Unterkunft hat jeweils eine kleine Terrasse vor dem Zimmer. Ich komme gerne wieder 👍 Alexander
Super netter und hilfsbereiter Besitzer! Preis Leistung stimmt!
Wenig Möglichkeiten die Kleidung und andere Dinge abzulegen.
Приветливый персонал, чистый номер, дали утюг, кружки для чая, очень внимательные, провожают и встречают. Очень уютная территория! Спасибо большое!
Overall treatment
None in specific
Besitzer sehr freundlich
The room is actually not bad.
- As soon as we arrived the owner and some of his friends were sitting in the yard very drunk. They forgot to prepare our room before our arrival and the owner was laughing about it because he was so drunk. One of his friends was rude while trying to make an offensive joke to us. - Paper thin walls so lots of noise from the little drunk party the owner was having with his friends drinking whiskey. They were so drunk to the point where they handed me the legal papers of their cars and a bike helmet for no reason. - Dangerous for solo travelers.
Très bien situé juste devant la plage, à proximité de quelques restaurants, les chambres sont basiques mais super propres et confortables, le tout dans un cadre agréable entouré de verdure. On a passé une super nuit, c’était parfait pour notre petit étape à Batticaloa.
It is just across from the beach. The beach is fine for swimming, at least when I was there in August/September. There are shore beakers, but once you get past them, it is calm. We had a delicious vegan breakfast that included fresh fruits and salads. The place has a lovely atmosphere.
You should be prepared that there is quite a bit of litter on the sand.
Génial, l’établissement est super, l’hôte est très sympathique et le petit déjeuner génial. Je recommande à 100%.
L’hôtel est charmant et vraiment accueillant. Les bungalows sont bien conçus, d’une propreté irréprochable et particulièrement agréables. Le personnel est extrêmement gentil, serviable et toujours prêt à s’adapter à vos besoins. Enfin, le gros avantage : la plage est juste en face, d’un accès tellement facile qu’on en profite pleinement.
Steps away from the beach
Deze accommodatie ligt op een prachtige plek, aan het strand in een rustig gedeelte van de stad (helaas, de branding is op die plek zo sterk dat je niet in zee kan zwemmen). De kamers waren voor ons comfortabel genoeg en er was een goede airco. Wat ons het meest is bevallen is de aandacht en behulpzaamheid van onze host, die allerlei dingen voor ons uitzocht, voor ons regelde en ons ook naar een restaurant bracht (en weer haalde).
De prijs van de accommodatie was exclusief ontbijt en eerlijk gezegd vond ik het ontbijt wat overpriced in relatie tot restaurants e.d. in de omgeving. De prijs was heel eerlijk en transparant naar ons gecommuniceerd en wij hebben er verder niet over onderhandeld. Het ontbijt was verder prima verzorgd.
Logement propre et lit confortable. L emplacement est idéal si vous souhaitez vous rendre à la place. Personnel très sympathique
Wir hatten 2 kleine, aber saubere und praktische Bungalows für eine Nacht. Ein sicherer Parkplatz für unser Mietauto war auch vorhanden.
Der Strand war sehr verschmutzt und viele Streuner liefen herum. Einheimische haben uns vom Schwimmen ausdrücklich abgeraten, da es viel zu gefährlich sei (Juli 2025). Außer Essen zu gehen ("Soul Kitchen" ist wirklich gut) kann man hier eigentlich nichts unternehmen.
No food provided. A shed in the family garden. We loved it but wouldn't stay long there because across from a not very attractive beach and the ice cream van played its tune for hours. However it was perfect for us for a couple of nights in Batticaloa and it was fun being in a family setting. Sitting outside the shed we looked on to an attractive garden and it was very peaceful to read there most of the time. The family left us to our own devices just opening the gate for the car whenever we needed to enter or leave. Nice casual atmosphere. Great value for money and clean. No air conditioning so rather warm. Glamping would be the nearest experience to staying here and as we camp we were very happy with that.
The website was a little deceptive as it gave the impression there would be breakfast or meals. It would have been good to have known there was no food or drink facilities before hand. A little hard to find.
Clean and quiet across the street from the beach, awesome breakfast!
Location not very busy, so either scooter or ride needed
Das Sea View Resort war ein Zwischenstopp auf unserer Reise und mit Thinesh als unseren Gastgeber haben wir großes Glück gehabt! Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber und Thinesh sehr hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend. Wir haben außerdem ein leckeres hausgemachtes Frühstück zu einem fairen Preis direkt im Garten der Anlage erhalten. Danke für alles, wir können diese Unterkunft nur weiterempfehlen!
Schöne Bungalows, mit guter Ausstattung. Der Vermieter ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Er hat für uns auch 4 Fahrräder organisiert (2 hat er vor Ort) oder hat uns mit dem TukTuk an die Hauptstraße gebracht. Preis-Leistungs- Verhältnis ist Topp. Man ist schnell am Strand und kann früh morgens die Fischer bei der Arbeit beobachten und fotografieren. Das ist sehr empfehlenswert.
Tinesh est accueillant et nous a amenés pour dîner car le logement ne propose ni dîner ni petit déjeuner (sur demande uniquement). Les cabanes sont propre.
Il manque une vraie fenêtre aux cabanes
Situé dans un petit jardin luxuriant et très bien entretenu, nous avons été chaleureusement accueilli par Yanesh. Les cabanes sont propres et bien équipées, juste en face de la plage. Yanesh nous a emmené en tuk-tuk pour dîner aux alentours. Le matin, vous pouvez voir les pêcheurs tirer les filets. Un moment authentique de la vie locale. Merci à Yanesh !
Location Building style
No sea view In general no sea view in any building So price to high for no sea view They have sea view But houses were build with window to other side to ocean ... so u can get sea view only from outside of room Too many crows around In the morning impossible to sleep
Schöne Umgebung, gepflegt mit sehr schönem Garten. Lage direkt am Meer. Personal sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich.
Comfortable stay
Aan de overkant van het resort is een strand. De eigenaar is erg vriendelijk. Verder een eenvoudig en klein 'resort'. Een aanrader als je in de buurt van Batticalo wilt verblijven met toegng tot strand en zee!
Er is geen eten of drinken verkrijgbaar
This is a very friendly hotel to stay in. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The gardens are lovely and its across the road from the beach. I would recommend this hotel.
Not too many restaurants close by, but are within 15 min walking distance.
Wow!!! Magnifique chambre/cabane privé... directement sur la plage (20 pas et tu y es) . L'hôte est super gentil. C'était extremement propre et beau. Rien a dire, tout était parfait!
Ganz ruhige Ecke, 50 m vom Strand, herrlich nach dem trubeligen Batticaloa. Sehr netter und hilfsbereiter Eigentümer, liebevoll gestalteter Garten, sehr gutes Frühstück... gerne wieder
we arrived after dark so didn’t get to enjoy the view until the following morning ! The chalet style cabin was great , enough space , clean and comfortable. Host was charming and helpful . Although the cabin was close to the road ( there is a road small between the property and the beach ) it was not at all noisy as little traffic . the gardens of the property are beautifully kept and it was clear that it was importantly to the hose that his guests are content . the beach across the road is lovely but ( and this is our only negative point, and not the hosts fault at all !) there is a fair amount of litter in this stretch of coastline . We followed the road to its end at the point where there is a small wooded area and a great vista to see the sea in one side meeting the lagoon river . You can see the lighthouse as well . In the evening / nighttime you can watch the fisherman standing in the water casting their nets by light in the lagoon to catch prawn and fish .
Excellent guesthouse on a magnificent and quiet beach.
Toplage direkt am Meer. Ein sehr schönes Zimmer mit einem sauberen Bad. Kleiner Sitzplatz. Alles in einem wunderbar grünen Garten. Hilfsbereiter Besitzer mit Tuktuk für Transfer in die City. Tolles Sri Lanka Frühstück.
Nice location and great room. Aircon worked well and shower was fine. Host is extremely helpful.
Nothing
Das Zimmer war groß und sauber. Es gab gegen Gebühr Fahrräder.
Wir sind von einem kleinen Resort mit zwei Bungalows, von dem wir einen reserviert hatten, ausgegangen, inzwischen wurden noch vier Zimmer angebaut. Wir bekamen eins davon, allerdings ohne Privatsphäre. Freunde, Personal tranken gerne mal ein Bier vor unserer Tür.. Vor der Terrasse der Zimmer wurden die Autos der anderen Gäste geparkt. An einem Tag Tag wurde ausgiebig gefeiert, wir entschieden uns dann vorzeitig abzureisen... Schade
The location, right on the beach, is amazing.
Everything fine.
Good location and good value. Thinesh is an excellent host-always around and very kind and helpful.
Nothing
De bungalow op zich is ruim en de kamer was netjes, ze zouden wel een laken mogen voorzien op de bedden. Prijs-kwaliteit wad deze kamer in orde.
De badkamer viel heel hard tegen, deze was helemaal beschimmeld en de douche was oud. De wc en de lavabo waren wel netjes.
close to beach
no complains
Strandnähe,schöner Garten, sehr schöner Bungalow ,nettes Personal
Great host who goes out of his way to make sure his guests are looked after! Thanks Thinesh!!
Nothing... everything is great!
Beautiful room right next to the ocean. Amazing owner who was helpful and kind!
De kamer die wij hadden (geen cabana) was ruim en schoon.We konden buiten op de galerij zitten. De manager heeft ons om 05:15 am met zijn tuk tuk naar het busstation gebracht. We konden ter plekke 2 fietsen huren. Daar hebben we veel plezier van gehad. Op loopafstand is een tempel die de moeite waard is om te bezoeken tijdens ceremoniën. We kunnen het lokale vegetarische restaurant op de kruising bij de brug aanbevelen.
Het strand is inderdaad aan de overkant van de weg, maar daar was in deze periode weinig te beleven.. Er was door omstandigheden geen eten beschikbaar op locatie, dus daar kunnen we niet over oordelen.
Obiekt tuż przy plaży, świetnie działała klimatyzacja.
Kupiliśmy na miejscu śniadanie u właściciela, było średnie. Właściciel liczył wszystko po aktualnym kursie w Google.
Was a last minute book but the owner was very helpful and friendly. We arrived late as our Tuk Tuk journey was delayed along the way but he waited for us to arrive and recommended a good restaurant up the road to eat! Room was clean & our stay was a good one! The owner even offered parking under cover as it was raining!
Happy with the accommodation, it matched desceiption and price was good. Only thing was the bed had a small blanket that didn't cover you very well. Otherwise everything was great!
We stayed there only for one night. The rooms were clean and everything woked well. The staff was friendly and helped us with our questions. Good experience. I can recommend this place.
chalet spacieux, propre et fonctionnel. juste en face de la plage et proche d'un bon petit resto au bord de la lagune. Thinesh l'hôte est très accueillant et à l'écoute de nos moindres besoins. Il nous a même emmené en tuktuk à la bus station à 5h30 du matin!
rien
A good location in Batticaloa.
The room was quite noisy as there are only thin walls and no bed sheet was provided.
Lovely staff, great beach, very relaxing time here.
Schönes Ambiente vor der kleinen Hütte. Sehr netter Gastgeber. Bad landesüblich einfach.
Sehr hellhörig. Nur einfache Bretterwand mit Ritzen durch die Nachts Licht kommt. Brause und Wasserhahn sollten mal entkalkt werden.
Für unseren Zwischenstopp auf dem Weg nach Arugam Bay genau das richtige. Die Unterkunft war sauber, das Bett bequem, es gab eine Klimaanlage und einen Kühlschrank sowie warmes Wasser in der Dusche. Der Inhaber war sehr freundlich und hat uns sogar angeboten, uns mit seinem Tuk Tuk zum Abendessen zu fahren. Auch bei der Weiterreise hat er uns geholfen und die Busverbindungen rausgesucht und uns früh morgens zum Busbahnhof gebracht.
Das Bad könnte einen neuen Anstrich vertragen.
The room was lovely and clean with everything required for a 2 night stay. The host Thinesh was excellent and ensured we were well looked after. Lovely garden to have breakfast in.
Nothing
Lovely setting and very clean stay - right next to the beach!
Animals in the area can be a little loud at night
Een fijne plek om te verblijven in batticaloa. Een prachtige plek, met uitzicht over de zee kan je elke ochtend een frisse duik nemen. De kamers en badkamer zijn ruim. De tuin is een groene oase en de eigenaar vind het belangrijk om klantvriendelijk te zijn. Lenen van fietsen, vrij gebruik van een goede wasmachine, gratis water, zo nu en dan een tussendoortje en het naar de busstation toebrengen is hem niet teveel.
Wees je ervan bewust dat je op een prachtig schiereiland zit, met enig afstand tot het centrum.
Emplacement idéal, face à la plage il n'y a qu'à traverser la rue. Pas de possibilité de restauration sur place mais très bonne adresse donnée, à 10min à pied : Lagoon hut. Personnel très gentil. Le propriétaire nous a aidé à trouver un tuk tuk pour nous rendre à la gare routière.
Matelas un peu ferme. Éclairage froid, pas de lampe de chevet ou d'éclairage indirect si l'un des deux veut lire le soir sans déranger l'autre.
Thinesh is a wonderful host, so helpful. He went above and beyond to take care of us. He arranged the best driver we have had in 5 weeks of travel and drivers. Having a washing machine to use was fantastic. Very close to the beach. Lovely garden and kitchen made available to use. Fantastic
Petite guesthouse agréable, dans un beau jardin. Grande chambre, grand lit, clim et ventilo efficaces. Salle de bain basique mais propre. Prioritaire accueillant. Très bon petit-déjeuner. Un bon rapport qualité prix.
Limpo e confortável. Ficamos apenas uma noite. AC e ventoinha. Anfitrião simpático, arranjou-nos sitio para jantar fora de horas.
Pequeno-almoço à parte.
We had a lovely time at the Sea View Resort. The room is comfortable with a big bed, great Ac and a fridge. There are no musquito nets, but theres netting in the windows which works perfectly. The location is in a pleasant and quiet area of the city. The beach is just across the street and was great for swimming: sandy, warm and calm. Dont expect sunbeds or bars though: theres absolutely nothing there but some fishing boats. We rented bicycles from the owner and that got us everywhere fast: cycling is a great way to move through Batticaloa. The owner is a great host. His english is good, he is helpfull but not "in your face" like some (well intending) Sri Lankan hosts can be. We got some nice drinks (for free) and a breakfast can be arranged for a very reasonable price. Sea View Resort was the perfect place for us to relax and explore Batticaloa.
The bathroom was a little mouldy because of a leak.
The place is really cosy and nice and so close to the beach. The host is very caring and made us feel welcome. We really wished we could have stayed longer than one night.
Es un lugar en frente de la playa, lleno de paz! La playa está completamente vacía, solo para ti. La zona no tiene turismo, por lo que si buscas un lugar auténtico te encantará. Las cabañas son muy cómodas con aire acondicionado y super limpias. El desayuno ideal y super completo.
The resort is lovely, just next to the ocean. The owner is very friendly and didn’t mind waiting for us to check in late.
The local roosters were very noisy from very early in the morning and we could hear them very loudly from room. We had to use headphones to block out the noise. If you’re sensitive to noise, it’s worth being aware of.
L’emplacement près de la plage . Le mini frigo et la possibilité de nager sur la terrasse. Le quartier tranquille et vivant à la fois. L’accueil formidable de Dinish : il nous a transporté avec son Tuk Tuk au restaurant et à la gare, il nous a fait de bons petits déjeuners et était toujours disponible.
Rien
You have sea view from the balcony. The owner is gentle and accessible, stays around, likes to talk, tried to satisfy everything you might need. Thinesh take me around in tuktuk wherever i needed, including the bus station early in the morning, and didn’t even charge. He also lend me a bike to go around and exercise. He even let me cook my dinner one night. I recommend and will come back.
Everything is simple, but you have everything you need. Especially the bathroom could be cleaner - those big spider nets in the corner of the ceiling should be removed frequently. Despite of that, all good.
