About

Welcome to the brand new Laughing Leopard Trinco!!
We have recently upgraded to an even bigger and better property in the beautiful beachside town of Trincomalee, located only a short 5 minute walk from the stunning Uppuveli beach.
Our new property features an on site restaurant for all day dining including smoothie bowls, breakfast and local options plus a cocktail bar with a huge array of drinks on offer and daily happy hours.
We have a large swimming pool and relaxing decking area which is the perfect hang out spot to cool off and chill out with your new found Leopard friends.
We also have a large comfy common area, guest kitchen and laundry facitilities available, plus the fastest Starlink internet in town for all of our digital nomads!
All of our guests are treated to a delicious free Sri Lankan rice and curry buffet dinner every night!
We plan daily tours in the local area including dolphin watching, snorkelling and diving at the best prices in town, and we host free social activities every evening. From hilarious games nights, kareoke, trivia to pool parties- we love to bring everyone together and create an unforgettable stay for all of our guests!
The air conditioned dorm rooms are very spacious with pod style beds for added privacy, plenty of storage room and lockers available. Our private rooms are fitted with a comfortable double bed and are perfect for guests who prefer their own space but don't want to miss out on the great hostel vibes.
We also have two lovely hostel dogs living at the property who are very friendly and love meeting all of our travellors!

WELCOME TO THE LEOPARD FAM!!

This hostel is a fantastic option if you’re looking for something fun in Trincomalee. The entire LL team is just amazing. They have super delicious family dinner every night, and they also organise games at night where you get to meet other travellers. Walking distance to the beach ! I read some reviews about the facilities, music etc, All the facilities were great, and music doesn’t go all the way till late. Outstanding hospitality by Goku, Guru, Vino, Ash, Robert and gang

Friendly staff but bad communication - we had to tell multiple people we were going on the snorkelling trip to make sure it would go ahead. Vibe of the hostel was nice and they put on sunset bonfire which was really cute! Be aware they do have music on from 8:30am-2am, though it didn’t bother me with ear plug ins. Rooms were fine for the price. However, the biggest let down was the bathrooms. They smelt so bad we had to keep spraying air freshener, weren’t very clean and there were cockroaches
