“Fantastic!”
This time I booked the place for my parents and they had a wonderful time here. My elderly parents were well taken care by Gajan and his wife. They did everything to make their stay comfortable by providing delicious home cooked meals to assisting them with their luggages to the bus stand. I am really thankful to Gajan and his wife for going extra mile to help my parents and giving me peace of mind. I highly recommend this place to everyone :)

“A wonderful homestay in Jaffna”
Kajan, his wife and son are fantastic hosts who enabled us to have such a rich experience. We really enjoyed sitting up with them and discussing our shared Sri Lankan heritage and recent developments since the war ended. It was a joy to interact with the hosts, when a lot of bookings have become an automated sterile process. We were a family group of 4 and the 3 bedroomed self-contained apartment worked so well for us, spacious yet homely and air-conditioned. The large balcony is beautiful. We enjoyed three very tasty Sri Lankan evening meals (esp.recomend the crab curry) which was so relaxing after our long days out. Kajan helped us book a local taxi for the day to Casarina beach and beyond and the next day just used local buses and tuk tuks in and out of town

“Excellent Hospitality”
We had a wonderful two-night stay at this lovely and friendly homestay. The place offers great privacy while still feeling welcoming and comfortable. The rooms were clean, air-conditioned, and well-maintained. We truly appreciated the early check-in at no extra cost. The hospitality was exceptional — warm, genuine, and attentive. We requested both breakfast and dinner, and the meals were fresh, delicious, and very reasonably priced. The location is also convenient, just a short tuk-tuk ride (AUD 2–3 each way) from Jaffna town. Overall, it’s an excellent stay — great value for money, cozy atmosphere, and wonderful hosts. Highly recommended!

“Lovely place with delicious meals”
We had a great time at this place. We booked two rooms for four of us and the entire 1st level was given to us. It had two rooms (3rd one we didn’t need), a spacious hall and a large balcony area. The place had all the basic essential amenities that is needed. Entire place was clean and clutter free and a modern bathroom with a heater (although we didn’t really need it as the weather was warm). The host Gajan was very friendly, helpful and very good at what he is doing. Always trying his best to make our stay is comfortable. And the best part of our stay was the food. Very delicious home cooked meals served at very affordable price. These days a lot of restaurants in Jaffna are heavily westernised and If you are after an authentic Jaffna meals, this is the right place. Homestay provides laundry services as well, so that you don’t have to worry about running out of cloths even in the warm weather. Definitely we will stay there again.

““The hosts were incredibly welcoming and kind. They cooked us a lovely meal, made us feel like famil”
I booked a homestay through Booking.com and had the most heartwarming experience staying there with my dad. From the moment we arrived, we felt like part of the family. The host, his wife, and their only son were incredibly kind and welcoming. They even cooked us a lovely meal, which made the stay feel even more special. The place was spotlessly clean, peaceful, and full of warmth. We never felt like guests—we felt like we were at home. Their kindness truly made our trip memorable. I still find myself missing the place and the people. I’m so grateful for this stay and would absolutely return. Thank you to Booking.com for helping us find such a gem.

Our stay at Rosefort Homestay was absolutely delightful! The super friendly hosts went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, treating us like family throughout our visit. The property itself was extremely clean and well-maintained, which made our stay all the more comfortable. Nestled in a quiet area, Rosefort offers the perfect balance of peace and convenience, with easy access to local sites and attractions. And the highlight of our experience? The super tasty homemade food—every meal was a feast of flavors, lovingly prepared and truly unforgettable. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Rosefort Homestay to anyone looking for a warm, relaxing, and memorable stay!

“Spent less, Enjoy more!”
The homemade authentic Jaffna food was absolutely amazing! They even went the extra mile to bring in fresh seafood that day-now that's dedication! And nothing beats chilling on the balcony in the late evening.

“Lovely family and beautiful house”
Beautiful big appartement with fridge. The balcony is so beautiful! Sitting there and see the real Srilankaan lifestyle ! Cows were picked up by the owners beautiful to see! It’s a 7 minute drive from the centre ( tuktuk 300lkr) but what made this place so special is the owners! The food is finger licking so delicious! We got a lot of information about things we could see in beautiful Jaffna! We definitely stayed again here!
