Host and guide our guests.

We work with local guesthouses, boat owners, drivers, guides and cooks around Batticaloa. If you'd like to host or guide our guests, tell us what you do.

Who we work with

  • family guesthouses and small hotels
  • canoe and boat owners, on the lagoon and the sea
  • drivers with their own car or van
  • guides who know the places and the stories
  • home cooks and families who host meals and village visits
  • activities: surfing, snorkelling, safaris and more

How it works

  1. Tell us about your place or service on WhatsApp, with a few photos.
  2. We visit you, see it for ourselves and talk it through.
  3. We agree a rate and how we work together, in writing.
  4. We bring you guests and look after them from the first message to the last day; guests book and pay through us.

What we look for

Places and services that are clean, safe and welcoming; the licences and insurance the law asks for (for stays, registration with the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority where it applies); and people who love showing guests the east coast.

Your name stays with us

Guests book their whole trip with us, so we don't show our partners' names or prices on this website.
