The host Allen is the real star of this homestay - kind, friendly, interesting and helpful. The house is lovely and breakfasts were delicious and Allen went out of his way to help us plan our exploration of Jaffna. Great value for money, quiet neighbourhood but easy walking distance to temple and easy access to 3 wheelers to get everywhere else. A lovely stay.

Great location, just off the road making it very peaceful at night. Good air con and fan. Great size room with balcony overlooking the garden and plantation. Good host and Sri Lankan breakfast. They also do laundry, which was a god sent in a city with no laundrettes.

Had a great 3 day stay here, friendly and helpful staff, spotlessly clean and large room, great breakfast. They were so welcoming and helped arrange a tuktuk driver for 2 days sightseeing, and packed me a breakfast to go for my early bus. Definitely a great place to stay.
