Brilliant place to stay in Jaffna. The owner is really friendly and helpful, helping us organise tuktuks and some great local experiences. The dinner we had was amazing.

“Having viewed the place on arrival, I decided not to stay.”
The place was a dump, dirty, dusty, dingy! This should not brle on booking.com as it is misleading the traveller.

We stayed for one night at short notice. It's on a quiet residential street, the room is basic and clean, no complaints but nothing exceptional either.

After reading all the raving reviews we booked for three nights - and left after one. The welcome was luke-warm, we had to pay upon arrival - rare in Sri Lanka - the food was very mediocre - dossas and dal - and the room was bland and windowless. Bad vibes. So we left early the next morning - without breakfast.

This house has enormous potential to be perfect, but it just need some more love. The interior is amazing, but very little lights coming inside. The room with outside bathroom is nice, but need little bit more cleaning and care. We appreciate the washing machine. Most importantly the host was helpful and very kind! Overall we enjoyed the stay.

Quiet and calm location. Host was very kind and considerate, always willing to answer questions and support our needs. Bicycles available for hire which made all of the attractions in Jaffna easily accessible from this location.

“beautiful and cozy homestay”
it is a beautifully and very creatively decorated, comfortable homestay. adi, the host, was very kind, flexible, and generous. there were bicycles we could use to explore jaffna, for which the homestay is perfectly located - you can reach jaffna city centre and the nallur temple in 15 minutes. for a very decent price, you can get home cooked food, which was delicious. warm recommendation!
