Some accommodation includes a balcony with sea views, a fully equipped kitchen and a private bathroom with walk-in shower. At the homestay, some units are fitted with a kettle and chocolates or cookies. We had a great time at delft village stay! Really nice tent, clean outside bathroom, bicycles to rent to explore the island, delicious food prepared for us and also the possibility to use the kitchen for own food prep:) tommy and his crew were really helpful and created a welcoming environment. There is the offer to join local fishermen in the morning to experience the local fishery tradition. I can highly recommend to stay a few nights on this remote island (alone the boattrip to the island is an adventure on its own) if you are a nature lover and keen to meet other travelers:)

Located within 1.3 km of Jaffna Railway Station and 2 km of Nallur Kandaswamy Temple in Jaffna, Tony's Garden House Back Packers inn offers accommodation with seating area and a kitchenette. Featuring a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with a children's playground. The guest house also provides free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. Amazing all around. Tony was very responsive before my arrival, super friendly, and has all the info. The house is in a great location, I had a room facing the street and it never bothered me (and I'm actually a light sleeper). The room was cozy and I enjoyed the balcony (especially the kettle lol). Highly recommend staying here and I will definitely visit Jaffna again and stay at Tony's!

Allens home stay, a property with a terrace, is set in Jaffna, 600 metres from Nallur Kandaswamy Temple, 1.5 km from Jaffna Railway Station, as well as 2.6 km from Jaffna Public Library. The property is around 3.1 km from Jaffna Fort, 14 km from Nilavarai Well and 20 km from Naguleswaram Temple. The guest house offers rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. Allen was the kindest, most generous and thoughtful person we’ve met in our trip so far! The homestay was amazing, with the most beautiful yard, it felt a little bit of jungle, with many trees and flowers, you love to sit there and relax. The room was beautifully decorated, spacious, clean and comfortable. We stayed there for two nights only and we still miss it! Allen prepared for us an amazing and really tasty breakfast and was always asking if we wanted more. He gave us a lot of information on the places around Jaffna and what we should visit. He was open to discuss about the culture and history of Sri Lanka and give us some insights. The best part of our staying there was how comfortable we felt and the interesting discussions we had with Allen. Thank you for the beautiful accommodation, we gonna miss you!

Offering a garden and garden view, Malabar home stay is situated in Jaffna, 3.2 km from Nallur Kandaswamy Temple and 3.5 km from Jaffna Railway Station. There is a private entrance at the homestay for the convenience of those who stay. Free private parking is available and the homestay also features bike hire for guests who want to explore the surrounding area. The hosts are incredibly kind. Adi let me store my bags at the homestay after I checked out, and even to take a shower when I came back to pick them up, which was lovely and meant that I could enjoy water activities such as the Keerimalai bath and the beach. Definitely get the breakfast (you can add it on once you're there). It's delicious and excellent value. The property is cute, with a pond built into the front walk (with fish you can look at 😍), an interior courtyard, and my room had an attached outdoor bathroom (with a roof and walls) that let in light while giving privacy, so I felt like I was in a private garden for my shower.

D'Villa Garden House has garden views, free WiFi and free private parking, situated in Jaffna, 2.8 km from Nallur Kandaswamy Temple. 2.9 km from Jaffna Railway Station and 3.9 km from Jaffna Public Library, the property provides a garden and a shared lounge. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. Raj, the host is a great guy. Just the best. The rooms are spacious. The AC nice and cold plus the ceiling fan aids further in cooling the space down after a long day out in the Sri Lankan heat. the showers are quite exceptional by Sri Lankan standards (good pressure, hot water, and somewhat separated/divided from the rest of the bathroom). Bed was comfy and the room even had a desk and a place to hang clothes which were nice bonuses.

Set in Jaffna, 400 metres from Nallur Kandaswamy Temple, Nallur Residence offers accommodation with an open-air bath, free private parking, a garden and a terrace. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a 24-hour front desk and full-day security, along with free WiFi throughout the property.

However, the highlight of our stay was undoubtedly Mr. Haran's exceptional hospitality. It was truly like visiting relatives.
