Summary of traveller reviews

Gokanna Pearl Guest & Hostels in Trincomalee offers a wonderfully friendly atmosphere, largely thanks to the exceptional host, Sam, who is consistently praised for his kindness and helpfulness. Its prime location near the beach is a major plus. Some rooms can get quite hot, even with fans, and a few mention wobbly beds or small lockers.

Sam is great and makes you feel at home. We arrived and there was nobody there so the vibe was a bit off but I feel is because of the low season. There are just some rooms with A/C so make sure to reserve those. Sam is so funny and helped us in many ways!

I had such a lovely stay at Gokanna Pearl Hostel. Sam is incredibly kind and genuine, taking the time to sit down with me and help plan my next destinations, which I really appreciated. The atmosphere at the hostel is really relaxed and welcoming. The location is perfect too, within walking distance of everything you need. I’d absolutely recommend staying here!
