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!

Tony's place is a must stay for Jaffna. Located an easy 25min walk from the centre of town, it also has all the essentials nearby (shops, restaurants etc). Very clean and everything you could need. I stayed twice and Tony is very helpful with directions and recommendations plus is always up for a chat. There's lots to explore in Jaffna, but it is also nice to have a restful place to come back to and recharge. Thanks Tony!!

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!

We stayed here for 6 nights and couldn’t have been happier. The location is perfect, within walking distance of Jaffna town, with plenty of nice restaurants, shopping complexes, and much more nearby. The host, Shero, is incredibly friendly, charming, and helpful throughout the stay. The bed is comfortable, and the room is spacious enough for a very pleasant experience. If you need room service, you only have to ask — the room will be cleaned and fresh towels provided. For guests coming from Europe, you might miss having thicker duvets, but just ask and you’ll be given extra bedding. A lovely place to stay – and truly great value for money. Highly recommended! I already plan to stay here again next year when I visit Jaffna.

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.

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.

this delightful homestay/ guesthouse is a short walk from the bus stop (outside the bakery in Dambulla) and only 10m back from the road, but completely secluded and quiet in a beautiful garden. The family are wonderful, speak excellent English and grandma cooked me a wonderful Sri Lanka curry for dinner. Breakfast was good as well and I was greeted on arrival with good coffee and homemade cake! They even gave me a lift to the Caves in the morning for free. A real gem, I cannot recommend enough.
