Wir hatten das nichtklimatisierte Zimmer und relativ warmes Wetter. Der Ventilator war ausreichend stark, um schlafen zu können und wenn das Fenster ein Stück offen bleibt, kühlt das Zimmer bis zum Morgen auch aus. Probleme mit Mosquitos haben wir praktisch nicht (d.h. es gab nur wenige einzelne). Uns hat gefallen, dass srilankisches Frühstück angeboten wird und man nicht auf die Kulturlosigkeit des Continental Breakfast festgelegt ist. Allerdings wurde das Frühstück am vierten Morgen langsam eintönig, es gab aber immer viel Obst dazu. Das Bett war ok, es gab keine Badartikel und Warmwasser (nicht dramatisch, aber sollte man vorher wissen). Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Zimmer waren auch nicht übertrieben hellhörig, wir haben von der Familie mit zwei kleinen lauten Kindern nebenan jedenfalls nicht allzu viel mitbekommen. Es gibt eine Wäscheleine und einen eigenen Terrassenabschnitt.
Man muss wissen, dass Samstags und Sonntags abends am Strand der Partybus hält und das ganze Dorf ab 18 Uhr von derartigen Bässen vollgepumpt wird, dass man Angst um seinen Schlaf bekommt. Allerdings ist das nach 1-2 Stunden vorbei und somit verträglich. WLAN könnte stabiler sein.
Hôtes très accueillant ! Logement situé très près de la plage
Logement mal insonorisé et emplacement assez bruyant dans les alentours. Pas d’eau chaude et pas de couverture.
kind staff, clean place, excellent location-the beach is just 100m away. Parking is cheap. We will come back if we once return to Sri Lanka
Alloggio semplice, ma molto pulito. Molto vicino alla spiaggia di Nilaveli da cui partono le escursioni per Pidgeon Island. Lavanderia a buon prezzo. A fianco c'è un buon ristorante familiare. La padrona di casa ci ha organizzato un tuk tuk per andare a Troncomalee.
Posizione comodissima alla spiaggia e a ristoranti. La famiglia che gestisce è molto gentile. Stanza molto semplice.
C’è solo acqua fredda per la doccia e non hanno phone disponibili da utilizzare.
Heerlijke locatie: super dicht bij het strand en toch heel rustig gelegen. De mensen zijn ontzettend lief en staan altijd voor je klaar. Het ontbijt is lekker, de kamer is mooi én heeft een fijne airconditioning. Daarnaast zitten er gezellige eetgelegenheden om de hoek, kun je er gemakkelijk je was laten doen en regelen ze met plezier excursies voor je. Kortom, een fantastisch verblijf!
Clean bed and bathroom. Outside of the room, there ar table and greenery for feeling nature.. Family is there from morning till late night for ur requeats. Close to beach, close to small shop for snacks.
Top Lage, ehr kurzer Weg zum Strand und Booten fü Ausflüge, Restaurants fußläufig erreichbar. Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Wohnung ist groß, mit Aufenthaltsbereichen innen und außen sowie Klimaanlage. Trinkwasser wird gegen Entgelt bereitgestellt, Frühstück wird angeboten. Besonders angenehm: wir durften unser Gepäck nach dem Check‑out noch dort lassen.
Zimmer und Bad waren sauber, wenn auch nicht ganz makellos. Allerdings fehlten im Bad praktische Dinge wie Bodenwischer, Harken, Mülleimer und ausreichend Toilettenpapier. Das Frühstück war sehr einfach gehalten (Spiegelei, Toast, Margarine, Marmelade, etwas Obst, Tee) und könnte abwechslungsreicher sein. Das WIFI funktionierte, hatte jedoch nur geringe Bandbreite. Die Betten sind teilweise schmal und kurz, die Matratzen eher hart oder schon etwas durchgelegen. Die Küche ist vorhanden, aber nur sehr einfach ausgestattet.
Schöne kleine Unterkunft in der Nähe des Strandes. Die Hosts sind sehr herzlich und freundlich. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen
Very very close to the beach Very very sweet family - they treat you will all the love and care. The family also arranged for tuk tuk ride for city tour in trincomolee . Affordable price - 6500 LKR.
Cash payment only Old rooms so there is an odd smell in the rooms Lots of insects No AC so if the weather is hot and you have mosquito net covered then fan is not doable. No toiletries so bring your own
Guest house familiale très accueillante, tout à côté de la plage. Un agréable refuge après les journées de baignade !

Very friendly & helpful owners, great location - close to beach and diving school, very close to lovely restaurants. Great size family room and very clean. Superb laundry service at very reasonable price. Nice breakfast at a reasonable price too. Highly recommended.

Beautiful and clean rooms by the beach! Helpful and very welcoming people that make the best Sri Lankan breakfast! Definitely recommend it!!!
We stayed at Suman Beach Rooms during our trip to Nilaveli and had a really wonderful experience. ❤️ The property is simple but very clean and well maintained, and its location is perfect for reaching and exploring the most beautiful beaches in the area. But what truly made our stay special was the family who hosted us: wonderful, kind, and always helpful people who made us feel at home from the very beginning. It was lovely to experience such authentic and warm hospitality, which made our time in Nilaveli even more enjoyable. We absolutely recommend Suman Beach Rooms to anyone looking for a peaceful, clean place with truly special hospitality. ❤️🇱🇰
Accogliente, molto vicina al mare, ottima colazione e servizio lavanderia
L’accueil était très chaleureux, la chambre très propre. L’hébergement est à moins de 5 min à pieds de la plage. Rapport qualité / prix imbattable à Nilaveli.
Pas d’eau chaude, mais c’est le cas dans de nombreux homestays au Sri Lanka.
Très bien situé. Plage et restos sympas à proximité. laundry au top
Prendre le temps à votre arrivée avant de choisir les excursions. Les propriétaires font venir une personne de la plage qui propose des sorties et mauvaise surprise, elles deux à trois fois moins chères quand vous croiser les autres agences sur la plage.
Lovely little spot, only a 5 minute walk to the beach. The hosts were incredible, making sure we had everything we needed and our stay was comfortable. The breakfast was very nice as well
We had a really good stay, the room was clean and comfortable. The location is perfect, the beach is only a few minutes away as well as a few really good restaurants and a supermarket. We paid for the breakfast and it was really good. The host was very kind and provided everything we asked for.
Nothing.
Sitio genial. Bien situado y los dueños muy atentos y agradables
Malica hizo que nuestra estancia fuera mucho mejor, puso todo tipo de facilidades y era muy amable y cariñosa.
El alojamiento podría estar más limpio, el fregadero y las ventanas .
The owners are very nice people. Always helpful.
A tap in the bathroom needs to fix and one corner of the wall is wet and dirty. But nothing you can handle. Everything else was clean a ok.
Très bien situé (environ 200 m de la plage). Malika est très accueillante, serviable et arrangeante (entre autres pour contacts pour tours en bateau ou chauffeur taxi sérieux). Merci beaucoup pour ce petit séjour !😊.
Même si ça n'est pas très grave, les ventilateurs de plafond de notre chambre font un bruit désagréable pour pouvoir dormir (nous avons donc mis un petit coup de climatisation).
Kind hosts who helped with every problem and also facilitated a snorkeling tour cheaper than directly at the beach. Optimal location close to the beach and to restaurants. Very quiet, in general.
One of the walls in our room had a problem with humidity. Sometimes, there was a bad smell in the bathroom.
I had a wonderful stay at this lovely guest house during my solo trip to Trincomalee. Everything was perfect from start to finish. The room was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and equipped with excellent air conditioning, making it a great place to relax after a day at the beach. The breakfast was delicious and freshly prepared every morning. A special thank you to Mrs. Malika, who was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout my stay. She made me feel at home and was always happy to help with anything I needed. The guest house is located in a quiet, peaceful area, yet it's only a short walk to the beautiful beach, which made the location ideal. I highly recommend this guest house to anyone visiting Trincomalee, especially solo travelers looking for a comfortable, relaxing, and welcoming place to stay. I would definitely return! 🙏🏼 💚
Très bon emplacement à proximité immédiate de la plage. Suman est très gentille et nous a préparé un délicieux petit déjeuner. Logement très grand avec 2 chambres avec climatisation et un salon. Possibilité de laundry. Serviettes de toilette très propres et bien présentées.
Il manquait juste du shampooing et gel douche.
One of the best guesthouses in sri lanka so far. Very nice hosts, super clean, great breakfast, close to the beach and restaurants. highly recommend!
Los huéspedes son encantadores. El hotel la ubicación es perfecta, y el hotel esta muy bien.
Nada. Todo genial.
It was a perfect stay, the hosts were really nice and caring. They helped us with every question at any time. She fulfilled all our wishes for breakfast. Really close to the beach. Restaurants and small shops nearby.

Super personnel ! Propose absolument tout (petit déjeuner, laverie,activités,...). En parlant des activités, ne réservait pas en avance, ils vous proposeront tout, mais en moins cher.
Ils y avaient quelques bêtes qui pouvaient rentrer dans la chambre (mais rien de méchant), quelques libellules ou fourmis, mais c'est la nature !
C'était un super séjour, 2 chambres doubles en famille. A 200 m de la plage et du départ pour Pigeon Island, plein de restos à proximité. Vraiment top, nos hôtes étaient disponibles et nous ont aidé pour l'organisation des activités. Je recommande
Convenient to the nilaweli beach , beach restaurants, pigion island.
Hospitality of the staff
Beliggenheten er perfekt
Litt lite rom og dumt med bare en stikkontakt
Endroit sympathique et tenu par une famille très chaleureuse. On se sent bien et à la maison. Possibilité de faire faire la lessive à petit prix et de déjeuner sur place (délicieux). Merci à toute la famille!
rien
Heerlijke locatie, vlakbij het strand en toch heel rustig. Priveparking voor onze tuktuk. Ontbijt was in orde, mooie kamer met airconditioning. Goede wifi Mogelijkheid om kleren te wassen.
Enkel koud water uit de douche, maar we hebben al gemerkt dat dit in Sri Lanka precies de standaard is.
Merci à Malika et son mari pour leur gentillesse, les chambres étaient grandes et très propres, petit déjeuné très très bon, plage paradisiaque tout proche
We stayed here for four nights and had a wonderful experience. The family who runs this place is incredibly kind and made us feel at home from the very beginning. They were always happy to help and gave us great recommendations, including the beautiful Tamil temples in Nilaveli and Trincomalee. The location is perfect, just a 3-minute walk from Nilaveli Beach, and they also arranged a scooter rental for us. The room was comfortable and perfect for a few days’ stay—we didn’t spend much time there because we were out exploring all day. Breakfast was delicious, with papaya, toast, eggs and bananas, and they even offered us tea in the afternoon. Their three cats are adorable too! One of the highlights of our stay was when they invited us to their traditional seafood food stall in Nilaveli on Saturday, the busiest day of the week. They let us try some of the local food and invited us to sit with everyone there. It was such a kind and thoughtful gesture that made us feel like part of the community. The warmth and hospitality of this family really made our stay special. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Nilaveli.
Everything perfect!
Beautifully kept. Near the beach, very accessible.
Would love an a/c unit but n the lounge and not only the bedrooms.
The location is perfect. 3 minutes walk to Nilaveli beach, the most beautiful beach of Sri Lanka, The room is a good size and the hosts are great. Directly at the beach there is a great beach restaurant Mimico, with some beach beds that you can use to get the best beach experience. Don't forgot to to visit them when you stay in Suman Beach Rooms. Also great is that at the accommodation you can buy bottles of water, so you don't have to carry these when you do your shopping. In 15 minutes walk there is a supermarket. If you think of going to the Trincomalee area and you like the beach, this is the perfect and affordable accommodation. To visit the centre of Trincomalee, it is easy to get a Tuktuk.
The wifi was not so stable.
The owner was very friendly and kind. The provided welcome drinks. They also provided great breakfast and tea. Bathroom is very clean. Room is very spacious.

Mallika était arrangeante et très sympathique. La plage est à 5 minutes et propre
Sehr freundliche Gastgeberfamilie, familiäre Atmosphäre, Tee oder Kaffee habe ich gratis bekommen, ruhige Lage, sehr nah am Strand, gutes Frühstück, sauberes Zimmer und Bad
Im Bad Plastikteile mit Kalkablagerungen, der Rest war tipptopp
Proche de l’océan.
Bruyant. Trop cher
super
Sehr liebevolle Gastgeber die sich um alles kümmern. Wir haben es sehr genossen.
Wir hatten nette zwei Nächte in dieser Unterkunft. Es gab eine gut funktionierende AC und einen Ventilator. Wir hatten ein paar Mücken im Zimmer, aber dafür eben auch ein Fliegennetz. Die Unterkunft liegt nur 2 Minuten vom schönen Strand entfernt. Die Gastgeber waren total aufmerksam und lieb. Es gab morgens und abends Tee aufs Haus. Unser Highlight war die verspielte Babykatze.
Das Zimmer hat zu Beginn etwas unangenehm gerochen und es gab einige Mücken im Zimmer und Bad. Ansonsten waren wir zufrieden.
L’accueil de notre hôte avec une bonne boisson rafraîchissante. L’emplacement est top, la maison est trop cool ! Poules, chats on adore ! La chambre est très propre et climatisé ! Encore merci pour le chek out plus tard qui nous aura permis de prendre une douche après notre cession de snorkeling. Et merci d’avoir réservé pour nous le snorkeling à pigeon Island.
On aurait aimé dîner sur la terrasse.
Close to the beach, owners are very nice.and friendly, breakfast is DELICIOUS! Beds are comfy
L’atmosphère familiale et la proximité de la plage, la gentillesse de Malika, les thés qu’elle nous a offerts.

In a lovely location 5 minutes walk from the beach. The rooms are large and clean with a nice outside space and amazing value. The real stars of the show are the family who own it for whom nothing is too much trouble. Would definitely rebook

Nous avons passé 4 nuits à Nilaveli et ce fut un super moment. Suman et sa femme sont des hôtes très agréables et disponibles. Nous avons eu des conversations très intéressantes avec elle. Le logement familial est grand et propre avec climatisation fonctionnelle et une terrasse couverte. À deux pas de la plage. Petit déj copieux. Resto disponible la porte d'à côté. Merci pour la lessive et le late check-out qui nous a permis de profiter de la plage jusqu'au bout.
Suman beach rooms has an excellent location, just a short walk to Nilaveli beach which was a highlight of our trip. Malika was a good host and offered to arrange activities and tuktuks for us however we already had these booked. Overall we would still recommend staying here for the value and proximity to the beach.
The room was okay and we felt the bathroom was poorly ventilated. The beds didn’t have fitted sheets so they would slide off in the night. We also thought the breakfast as okay compared to some of the others we’d had at Sri Lankan homestays. Unfortunately, a lot of the times we needed advice Malika was out and when we tried to ask the family some questions they couldn’t help us even with translate.
Suman guest house is the perfect place to stay in Nilaveli, the location and facilities are very comfortable and convenient, and above all the owners are very kind and can arrange anything you need for a comfortable stay. They helped us arrange activities and day trips, and always recommend the best options. I highly recommend the homestays Sri Lankan breakfast, it is delicious! Our favorite homestay in Sri Lanka, stay here for a genuine and lovely experience.
Sehr gute Gastgeber, alles sehr sauber, gutes Badezimmer, sie haben mir einen günstigen Fahrer für einen Ausflug nach Anuradhapura organisiert. Ich kann es nur weiterempfehlen! Ich mochte das Ambiente sehr, es ist ein authentisches Sri Lanka ! Wunderschöner Strand 2Min Entfernung
El lloc és net ,els llits molt còmodes i l'habitació espaioses.Es troba al carrer principal però lluny del sorolls i 200 metres de la platja principal de Nilavel.La família que e ports es agradable i t'aconsegueix tuk tuk a un preu un pel més econòmic. L'esmorzar, si es demana, es correcte et dona un parell d'opcions
Per les.fotografies semblava que es polia fer us de cuina i saleta però en cap.moment.ens van indicar la ubicació d'aquest lloc. Vam fer la bugada allà i la roba es va descolorir , ens va fer una petita.rebaixa en preu però ens ho va cobrar. Trobo que es un allotjament més per parelles que per famílies.
Malaka, Suman and their kids are the perfect hosts. Helpful whenever needed, friendly and with a big heart. Malaka you're a wonderful cook. Thank you sister for making our days so special.
La amabilidad de los dueños. La ubicación es perfecta para ir a la playa.
Habitación muy calurosa. Baño aceptable
Location close to the beach, nice owner, very good breakfast.
Except for the beautiful beach and snorkeling trips, there is literally nothing to do in Nilaveli.
We really enjoyed staying here! The room was very basic, but considering the price it was more than okay. The family was super friendly and we felt welcome all the time. The location is amazing, as it is only a few minutes to the beach. Also the breakfast was really tasty and filling. Thank you so much! We can absolutely recommend staying here!
Els llits i l’habitació còmodes. La dona que regenta l’espai molt atenta i amorosa.
Falta una mica de neteja al bany, sobretot
Bello il posto e anche la stanza. La famiglia è super sorridente, gentili e disponibili per qualsiasi cosa si chiede. Come essere a casa propria.
Il personale è davvero gentile e disponibile per ogni cosa Posizione ottima per la spiaggia di nilaveli È stato un bellissimo soggiorno Colazione ottima
Really friendly people. The rooms are clean and had everything we needed. Breakfast was delicious. We really enjoyed our time here
One of the best properties I’ve stayed in Sri Lanka, super clean lovely family and closer to the beach. Also came with Aircon which was a plus
Nothing
Vicinanza alla spiaggia e ai ristoranti, personale gentile in particolare Mallika che ci ha accolto come una persona di famiglia.
Nulla per essere in una casa di campagna!!!
Ottimamente posizionata vicino alla spiaggia e a tanti ristoranti, la struttura e' semplice ma abbastanza accogliente x chi sa accontentarsi degli standard cingalesi In piu' la signora e' sempre gentile e accogliente e rende il soggiorno davvero molto gradevole Tornassi a Nilaveli, senza dubbio sceglierei ancora questo homestay
Cet établissement est très proche de la plage ( 300 m) et à proximité de restaurants

Really liked the villa was clean, comfortable beds good, air con. The owner are lovely and super helpful and the breakfast in the morning is next level! Also great locations minutes from the oceans and a great selection restaurant near by
When our trip ended
L’emplacement, la gentillesse de la famille, la chambre, tout !
very friendly hosts, very clean, great breakfast
Une famille prête à vous aider, une localisation idéale juste à côté de la plage et des départs pour la Pigeon Island
La Guesthouse se situe vraiment à côté de la plage des locaux avec une ambiance unique. L’emplacement est vraiment idéal pour profiter de toute la grande plage de Nilaveli. Les hôtes sont d’une gentillesse et d’un accueil exceptionnel. La maison est confortable avec tout le nécessaire. Les petits déjeuners sont aussi très bien et le restaurant familial à côté est très bon. Si vous recherchez une adresse authentique, je vous conseille vraiment de dormir quelques nuits ici.
Rien
L'emplacement du logement à 5 min à pied de la superbe plage de Nilaveli, plusieurs restaurants à proximité et surtout l'hospitalité et la disponibilité des hôtes toujours prêts à nous rendre service. Ils nous ont donné beaucoup de conseils, nous ont trouvé des chauffeurs au meilleur prix, ont lavé notre linge à un prix très raisonnable. Un remerciement tout particulier à Malika qui a été adorable avec nous. Nous recommandons vivement ce logement.
Rien mis à part que les chambres avec air conditionné sont plus appréciables que celles avec ventilateur seul.
Perfecte locatie je staat zo op het strand, hele lieve eigenaren, lekker ontbijt, kamers zijn zeer hygiënisch en ruim. Er wordt door de eigenaren veel zorg besteed aan de accommodatie en het gehele terrein. Ik raad dit zeker aan!
Nous avons aimé la proximité avec la mer ainsi que l’accueil très chaleureux de nos hôtes.

SUMAN e malika super accoglienti ed attenti a tutte le nostre necessità. Location curata e pulita. Accanto hanno un ristorante di famiglia molto buono. Bravissimi
