The place was exactly what we were looking for: a peaceful spot, surrounded by nature, frequented and run by TOP people! Our tent was perfect – two fans for the night, mosquito nets, and a beautiful outdoor area with personal chairs and table. Bathrooms were good, and the shared spaces were very well designed. Breakfast and dinner were outstanding. Tommy, the host, is exceptional – we felt totally at ease with him and his whole team, who were incredibly attentive with our 7-year-old rascal :) Since we come to Sri Lanka almost every year, we’ll definitely be coming back to Delft Village Stay!

Spacious and comfortable rooms, very nice common areas. Haran is the best host we have ever had, not only in Sri Lanka. Thanks to his advice our visit to Jaffna was perfect. He also helped us find the best solution for our return to Colombo by personally accompanying us to catch the night bus. The dinner at Nallur was the best in Sri Lanka.

Allen was an amazing host, very helpful on where to eat, what to do and how to get around - and he made a delicious breakfast served with Italian coffee! The location was perfect for visiting the Nallur temple, in a quiet residential area. The house was tastefully and stylishly decorated as were the rooms, with mosquito nets and everything else you might need. The garden was beautiful with a peaceful area to sit and gaze out. Highly recommended.

Absolutely lovely stay at Munril Guest! The rooms are spacious, spotlessly clean, and equipped with both air conditioning and a fan. The villa itself is beautiful, with a peaceful and green setting just a few minutes by tuk-tuk from the city center, a perfect balance of quiet and convenience. The facilities are excellent, but what really stands out is the incredible friendliness and helpfulness of the hosts. They even offered free rides to local sights, which was a wonderful bonus. Breakfast was also delicious and well-prepared. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Jaffna!

One of the cleanest and most comfortable places we stayed during our travels around Sri Lanka. The hosts were exceptionally friendly and polite, making us feel right at home. The room was spacious with comfortable bed. Sri Lankan breakfast was absolutely delicious. We also appreciated having access to the kitchen fridge and the reliable Wi-Fi. Jaffna turned out to be an unexpected highlight of our trip — such a hidden gem! Highly recommended!

Tony is a great host! He was very helpful, friendly and nice to chat with. He arranged for me a tour of Jaffna peninsula and helped with other travel arrangements. In the guest house there are whiteboards with lots of useful info for travellers such as train and bus schedules. Breakfast (a la carte) had a lot of options to choose from. Overall basic guest house but with great vibe and services.

Allen was such a good host and took good care of us. He served us tea and coffee all over the day. Also we had some really interesting discussions with Allen. We would definitely choose Allens home stay again.
