Trinish homestay

Hospitality and food

No wifi connection and lack of amenities like hand wash and bathroom equipments

Really kind hosts, provided me with dinner on the first night and made sure I had everything I needed. Location in Hatton was great, just a short walk away from the town.

The facilities were basic and I had to ask for several items for the room like a bin for the toilet, a chair etc.

Friendly hosts

WiFi didn't work.

All is good

Nothing

Gemütliches Bett und geräumiges Zimmer. Leckeres Frühstück und Abendessen. Absolut tolles Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.

Everything is good

Better to renovate towels

Es hat uns extrem gefallen und das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist top! Sie haben uns auch für die Sonnenaufgangswanderung zum Adams Peak gefahren und auch am Abend hatten wir die Möglichkeit bei ihnen zu essen. Definitiv empfehlenswert!

My plans were changed and they canceled my booking for free. Thanks!

Hatton itself is an horrible and not cozy city

Really good

ロケーションがいい

Wi-Fiのつながりがかなり悪い 朝食は最低限でトーストは冷たかった

Rajan and his family are lovely. Room very large. Great mosquito net which you needed. Good information. English ok, managed to get by with Rakshama(daughter) whose English is good. Lovely breakfast included. Good value for money. Evening meal reasonable at LKR310, tasty. Good location. Hosts have good knowledge to help with queries. Good shower.

This is a homestay and there is an extended family, with young children, living beneath the rooms. It is quite noisy in the evening until around 21:30 and they are up early for school runs etc. Not a thing I didn’t like about the property as nice to see such a close knit, lovely family, but feel it is worth a mention ad some people may not like it. Wifi not good. Constantly so weak that devices will think there is no connection, and that was with us having the router in the room. Despite its’ location, it should’ve been quiet overnight but it wasn’t. A neighbour left on a motorbike around 03:30 every morning we were there. Very loud temple at 05:00. General street noise. All of these things beyond the homestays’ control and probably affects all properties in Hatton. Mosquitos constantly getting into the room via the bathroom that just has a hole in the wall for ventilation. Just needs a mosquito screen fitted, which should be easily doable. One window can’t be closed because the lock is out of alignment with where it locks into. Once again an easy fix I am sure and will help with noise and mosquitos.

The hosts are friendly, the dinners are delicious, and the atmosphere is comfortable and safe.

Friendly & hospitality

家族で運営されているようでアットホームだった。 シャワーは温水が出た。 トゥクトゥクでハットン周辺を案内してくれた(有料)。

シャワーの水圧が弱かった。 Wi-Fiが弱かった。

The room was super comfortable; I had a huge room all to myself and a private bathroom. Breakfast was delicious, with a wide variety of choices, from omelettes to fruit to bread. The owner and his family were truly kind; it was a pleasure meeting them.

Muy bien ubicada, cerca del centro pero sin escuchar el tumulto de la ciudad. La propietaria muy amable , simpática y cocina muy bien

Chouette petite maison familiale, la dame est adorable et aux petits soins.a chambre est confortable et calme. Un très bon rapport qualité prix pour un stop à hatton !

Lovely family. Private room with two beds, mosquito net, cozy balcony and private bathroom. I got what I wanted for the breakfast (easy to communicate with lady host) Family can arrange tuk-tuk service. I think, considering the price and aporoach, it is a solid 9,5 from me rounded up to 10 🙏🏻 Thank you and all the best 🌸

Great location right next to the train station of Hatton

The breakfast

It is near the railway

L'emplacement proche de la gare et de la ville est pratique. Le train fait du bruit mais le quartier est authentique. La famille est très gentille mais les chambres très peu confortables, il ne faut pas s'attendre à du grand luxe...un toit pour la nuit parmi les locaux.

The owner is very sympathic, extremely friendly and super responsive, I recommend the place a lot

Break fast was Good Value For money !!

Very welcoming host, were provided dinner for no charge. We had the downstairs room which was very musty. No sheets or towels supplied.

Highly recommend that place, everything is so good,very calm and peaceful place, this is not our first time,because of the cleaners and the good service we select finish home stay in the second time🩷

I liked the small balcony too the room (view of the local area, not views of hills). Rajan and his family were really kind. They have two homestays and it would have been easier for everyone (for having meals) to stay at their home (Shane's place). But Trinish Homestay was good (and quiet). You can also pay Rajan to take you by tuktuk to Adam's Peak (nice but too crowded and dirty), and he's a calm careful driver, recommended

Very hospitable, helpful and kind family

There was a very friendly host and all his family was very nice, they also prepared a very tasty dinner and breakfast.

small guest house with warm welcoming. They are very active to help with picking up and offering food. Also offering trip to Adams Peak. We stayed just one night and moved to another village.

The place was awful, Damp on the walls in the room i was allocated (Which incidentally wasn't the room i booked) and the whole place was in need of a good clean and redecoration, The only bonus was the bed was comfortable and there was a hot shower in the morning! The owner even tried to overcharge me at check in, I was a homestay for over 10 years and the standard of this place is terrible!

All of it apart from bed and hot shower

I liked the home feeling and the food was delicious! The family makes you feel at home. I liked the privacy of my room too.

The guest house is situated in a calm part of the town, not far away from the train station. I had the room on the first floor, it was bright, cozy and clean. There was also a kind of balcony. I appreciated to have a kettle and some tea in the living room on the ground floor. The accommodation came with breakfast and dinner that was served in the owner's other guest house - a nice opportunity to chat with other travellers. The owner and his family were very nice and welcoming. They arranged a tuk tuk driver who drove me to Adam's Peak for sun rise, he was also super nice.

The towel was wet and dirty, I think it was used. There was not enough toilet paper.

Friendly and homely

Nothing bad

I didnt stay at this place as the owner also owns Shane's place. So a bit of confusion over a free pick up as taken by someonelse to Shane's. A friendly place and given free breakfast and evening meal, a beautiful view from the terrace over a valley with tea plantations, lots of birds the train runs by the house but doesn't run late. Can short cut from the centre up the train track go past to the cemetery and take the track.

Communication was a bit confused due to not being there to pick me up from the station despite being sent the colour of the tuk tuk and a pic of the owner. Could have been a lot easier to say someonelse is picking me up! But non the less had a good stay.

The owner is very kind and helpful. We booked the room based on the high review scores; unfortunately, the room we stayed in needs some improvements.

Clean, spacious room. Friendly host.

A bit noisy at night.

We actually ended up staying at Shane home stay, but they are both owned by the same family. The bed was comfortable, the breakfast and dinner were both really tasty. The views and surrounding was really nice. The owner picked us up from the train station quite late too!

If you are a light sleeper, I would consider either insisting on Trinish (not Shane) or staying elsewhere - the train line is directly next to the accommodation and woke us up a couple of times. The roosters also woke us at sunrise. Water pressure is quite slow, but the water was warm enough.

Wonderful stay! We were picked up for the station and met with a warm reception. We were actually invited to stay at Shane homestay which is where the host family live as they had a better room for us. This was probably a slightly better location and we had a beautiful room waiting for us with unbelievable views over the tea fields. We were given breakfast and dinner with the family and not charged any extra. We were taken in the tuktuk to Adam’s peak for a gorgeous sunrise and it worked out far cheaper than anywhere else we had looked. They also arranged for us to rent a scooter on the second day to see around Hatton. The host family would go above and beyond to help in anyway. Would highly recommend!

Nothing

Very Friendly and helpfull people, the room is Big and bed is comfortable. Quiet area, definitely recommended :)

Rien

Clean, comfortable and close to train station. Host has a tuk tuk and can pick you up + take you to Adam’s peak for a good price! Room is big and comfortable, very friendly hosts with delicious dinner and breakfast. Would stay again!

Amazing location looking out onto tea plantation, the train runs through the bottom of the property, I though this was very cool. Hosts are amazing, nothing too much trouble, cooked breakfast, evening meal and packed me a bag of goodies when I climbed Adams Peak for a small donation. Rajan picked me up from station, free, then the next day early he drove me in his tuktuk to Adams Peak and waited 5 hours, the price was very reasonable. Scenery was amazing to Adams Peak, worth staying here for the home stay experience. Take your own towel as they don’t supply. Shower was nice and warm.

Where I stayed looked different to pictures, there was no bed linen, or safety mat in shower. I am sure these were just overlooked and easy rectified.

We didn't stay at Trinish, but at Shane homestay. Same owner, different location. The location of Shane I think is better. It's still about 15 minutes from the train station, but also you have a view of the tea plantations and the train tracks are just below the balcony. The room is inside the house were the family is living. They were very nice, welcoming. The owner was kind and brought us from the bus station free of charge, as it was raining. It was clean, quiet, we had towel, hot water.Also they welcomed us with tea and bananas, and they offered us dinner. The breakfast was very delicious.

The room is big but the beds were hard and they are only two sockets. The bathroom is not in the room, and it's leaks under the sink. It's not a big issue but it's getting wet and you should be more careful. You don't have toilet paper, but soap is available.

Was a really nice place in a good location, food was great and the prices for both the stay and overnight hike of sri pada were very cheap for what I got. Would definitely recommend if your looking to do sri pada!

Maybe could do with more of a selection of food wouldn't be to everyone's tastes!

The owner, Mr Rajan, his wife & their youngest son, Shane were a great company. They were extremely helpful. Their meals were delicious & clean. They helped us in every single thing which I did not expect. I recommned this place- Shane Homestay to anyone in the future.

Nothing.

Very nice owners Nice view Onwer pick me up from and to the train station :) Was clean Access to the kitchen

Railway is too close to the house

this place nice..food anything so good ..kindly people as are lot of helpful

Room is very clean. Friendly staff. value for money

The family was amazing!!! So welcoming and kibd. We were picked up from the train station. We were taken on a tour around Hatto looking at tea and waterfalls on day one. And hatto is BEAUTIFUL!!! Seemed so underrated and I LOVED IT!!! And they are super knowledgable about the sites. They also provided breakfast and dinner which was incredible! And took us to Adam’s peak at 1am for sunrise the next morning. I would recommend this to anyone! Been a highlight of my stay in Sri Lanka☺️

Hot water wasn’t super “hot” however better than the cold showers I have had elsewhere lol. So will not complain at all 😂. Still worth the stay 😁

The hosting family were welcoming and helpful, offering food and a tuk tuk service and helped me plan my time in Hatton. The room was spacious and the en-suite bathroom had hot water.

Great owner, he was very helpful. He picked us up at the station, one day he took us on a trip around the area to the Waterfalls and tea farm, and the next night he took us to Adam's peak at one in the morning and then back.

Close to the railway station, so easy to reach. The host was very accomodating.

The hosts were incredibly welcoming and generous. Fantastic location in Hatton, with access to local walking trails. Spacious room and mosquito nets. Dinner and breakfast was provided and was delicious!

Unfortunately there was a problem with damp and mould on the walls, but okay for a short stay.

I came here to rest before climbing Adam’s Peak. The owner picked me up from the railway station free of charge. He took me to Adam’s Peak for a very decent price and it was lovely coming back to a lovely breakfast made by his wife. Dinner was also great! The bed was comfy and the place is very quiet, also being a short walk to Hatton centre. He also offered a nice tour of Hatton area. I reccomend!

We stayed for three nights at trinish homestay and absolutely loved it! The owner is super friendly and so helpful. He picked us up from the train station and had dinner ready for us. The food was amazing. He took us to Adam’s Peak / Sri Padaya and waited there for us while we were hiking for 5 hours. The room is a bit old and damp but would 10 out of 10 recommend 😍

The food was really nice and super tasty! His wife cooked some really impressive local food. The owner is super friendly and helps you with everything. He asked me if i want to see some waterfalls and tea fields so he brings me there. I really enjoyed my stay here and would recommend it for everybody. The room was super nice with the sound of a little river helping me falling asleep. Nice shower, nice bed

I honestly can’t think of something bad

The breakfast’ and dinner’s were delicious, Trinish is really kind and willing to help!

You can rent a scooter in town to go to adams peak and the waterfalls faster and for a much lower price than his tuktuk!

not much

breakfast was the most ridiculous food I ever had. white toast with artificial jam and a banana. please don't eat there. tried to overcharge me for single room. initial offer to drop to station was obsolete as I didn't want to take his expensive tour

It's very close from hatton railway station, can go by a walk.

Quiet surroundings.

A bit of a language barrier between myself and the host. Very minimal 😊

Great place! Super lovely welcoming family! I was even brought to Adam’s peak at night and back in the morning! And I got a delicious free dinner :)

The apartment was spacious. Good location

No aircon

Very spacious room and comfortable bed. The owners were also very nice, made dinner for me and brought me to the bus station free of charge.

It was possible to arrange the accommodation on last minute just as we arrived to Hatton in the evening. The host was friendly and helpful.

There were issues with Wi-Fi connectivity. The bathroom could be more clean. Sealing under the door could be improved to prevent unexpected visits of bugs from the outside.

Super helpfull Family, bus pick up for free, even they helped us out When We forgot bag in a local bus. Tasty dinner. Clean sunny room

Very helpful and friendly host. Cosy room with blankets and hot water.

I had a wonderful stay and would love to come back! The hosts are very friendly and accommodating, I took a tuktuk with the owner to Adam's Peak for a reasonable price and he gave me great advice about the area. He picked me up from the train station, but it's also only a 10minute walk so it's a great location. Everything is very clean and the room has a door out to the balcony, it's very cute. Dinner was included and it was delicious 😋

Everything was great

I like there hospitality and also there food.

Nothing I found which I dislike.

Comfortable home stay with delicious home made breakfast. Nice hospitality by the family. Rajan bro is very nice person, helpful for my trip around and my stay was excellent.

I spent an amazing 24 hours at Trinish Homestay last weekend! The owner and his family are kind and hospitable people who go out of the way to make sure you have a good trip. Rajan picked me up from the train at 7:30 am and served me an enormous breakfast. He then spent the next 12 hours driving me to various local sights in his tuk tuk, for a reasonable extra fee. This included Adam's Peak, where he waited 6 hours while I hiked to the top and returned. His family served me a full dinner when I came back to the homestay, plus breakfast the following morning. The bathroom was very clean and the bed comfortable. I highly recommend this place, especially to those looking for a seamless Adam's Peak experience! I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The host and his family are incredible! He picked me up and dropped me off at the station. I had breakfast at the time requested every morning and after trying the 1 free dinner i decided to buy all my meals from them because they were so good. A true family experience - i loved interacting with their younger kid and the 2 daughters have been very kind and helpful! The bed and pillows were comfortable. The floors and the bathroom were extremely clean. The balcony photo with the view over the jungle is not from the house ;)There’s a small balcony which is a nice feature if you want to enjoy the fresh air, but no stunning views. Tea plantations and many waterfalls are easy to reach via bus and tuktuk/scooter.

It would have been nice to have a desk in the room. I was there for work and taking meetings from the bed/the stool wasn’t comfortable after 2 days. There’s no mosquito net: The host was very kind advising to close the windows at dusk, but there’s a small bathroom window from which they can enter (remember to close the bathroom door). The wifi was a hit and miss (Dialog 4G). Not their fault! I think the whole area had issues. The host was extremely kind and helpful and moved the router to my room to give me the best signal. I still managed to work using my data (Mobitel).

Very sweet family. I had a very good time. Location close enough to Adam's peak, away from the tourist crowds. Delicious dinners and pleasant chats.

The family was super nice and made you feel very comfortable. The room was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. You have your own key so you can lock the door when leaving the house. Definitely would recommend
