Great, homely vibes. Rangan makes you feel apart of the family

Rangan and the staff were amazing - super friendly and always up for a chat or to provide recommendations. Rangan also runs a great dive school and snorkelling trip that we did at pigeon island and can also highly recommend doing that

Rangan is an amzingly friendly guy that welcomes you as his brother or sister! His accomodation is clean and comfortable close to the beach and restaurants but ask Rangan himself and he put the best fresh fish on the table.. Thank you Brother 🙏🏼🙏🏼

The stay in this beautifull guest house with a big garden, hammocks between the big trees is a 5+ stay in Trinco. Go for the breakfast and ask Rangan if Rangan will prepare the dinner for you. I really recommendnhis fresh fish dishes. The best I had in Sri Lanka and I tasted a lot over the last months.

Rangan is the kind of host you wish you could find in every hostel. From the moment I arrived, he made me feel right at home with his constant smile and helpful attitude. He went above and beyond to take care of me when I fell ill, which I am incredibly grateful for. On top of his amazing hospitality, he is an incredible chef! don't miss out on his food! Highly recommended

At home in The White House

Mr Rangan and his nephew Tashana were excellent hosts and exceptional cooks. There was a comfy place to sit chat and eat in a very private, well cared for garden Close to the beach and easy to get a bus or tuk tuk into Trincomalee. A

We had an amazing stay at this hostel! The price perfectly matched the quality, but what really made our experience special was the owner. Rangan is one of the kindest and most genuine people we’ve ever met - his energy and passion truly create the whole atmosphere of the place. It’s clear that he loves what he does, not only running the hostel but also organizing trips and snorkeling adventures. Thanks to him, our stay was unforgettable. Highly recommended to anyone who values warmth, good vibes, and great hospitality!

Great chill place, friendly staff, awesome location, the best snorkeling - can only recommend.

Had a great time at the white house. It's a chill place, a little away from the noisy clubs but an awesome location as it is so close to the beach and the restaurants. Had fun playing some board games some nights with the other guests. Lots of great curry restaurants in the street. Rangan is such a cool guy. If you are considering snorkeling or scuba, he is your guy! Beds are comfortable and towel included, that you don't have everywhere. I extended my stay more than once, so that should give you an idea of how great it was.

I will definitely come back!

Loved my stay in the White House. The owner Rangan was not here but his nephews were. Rangan still reached out to me, he send a message that I could call him when something was wrong with WiFi, helped me with the bus timetable and organized snorkeling for me. his nephews run the place now and there were very good looks, nice breakfast and fish in the evening.
