We loved both Allen and his homestay! The place is wonderful: a big renovated house with garden, where guests have their how spacious room w/bathroom. All clean and perfect. Allen is extremely friendly and helpful. He let us check in at 9 am because our bus had arrived early in the morning, which was live-saving after the night on the bus. His english is perfect and he’s happy to answer to any questions about Jaffna and the local culture. He also arranged a scooter rental for us and suggested a good restaurant close to his place. We’d 100% reccomend staying with him!

Great location for transportation, services and amenities. Still in a quiet neighborhood. Cleanest new building with a cool breeze from the trees around. More than enough personnel for security, maintenance etc. I rented a small single room, but there are bigger a/c rooms with plenty of common space to accommodate groups.

The house is very clean and equipped with all necessary appliances. The rooms are large and there's plenty of space with 2 queen beds each. The bathrooms were again clean and the water pressure was good. The housekeeper was so nice and welcoming. He helped us with all our requests and questions. The location was ideal as well since it was only 5 mins away from Jaffna town by vehicle and there's plenty of good restaurants nearby.

It has a mix of AC and non AC rooms and is in a quiet location next to a park. You have access to a kitchen and a terrace to sit in the evenings. A really mellow friendly golden retriever pup lives here too. You can have breakfast every morning, you just need to eat Tony know the previous evening making it very convenient. I also really liked the information wall allowing me to plan my trip in the north smoothly as some information is hard to find online or locally as language can be a barrier.

Our stay at Allens home stay was very unique! Allen knows everything about Jaffna and its surroundings and will help you in any way to make your trip up north a special one. His garden is beautiful and quiet. The guesthouse is a 20 minute walk from the buisy city centre. We felt completely at home during our stay. Allen is a very warm and welcoming person. Breakfast was fantastic, Allen even made a food package when we had to catch an early train.

Appointed in a quiet lane off the main Kandy road,the only thing that you are likely to hear is the occasional train and the gaggle of geese that live next door.Its near Old Park where you can easily get a bus into town for 40 rupees It's a very welcoming place and it's host Dilan is a smashing bloke who is a mine of information and he is also very sociable.I ended up staying double the time that I had booked
