The place is very beautiful and in a calm setting. Beautiful big room with view of the pool. Very clean and luxurious bathroom. Really felt like a treat to be here. And on too of that the staff was extremely kind and friendly, they went above and beyond to care for my needs and safety. Food was also very traditional and tasty.

It was absolute bliss. We were three couples travelling together and we had the entire house to ourselves. The bedrooms were super clean and the beds were very comfortable. The staff (especially Janakan) were incredibly attentive, lovely and made everything work beautifully. There really was nothing we lacked. The breakfast prepared by Mihla was delicious and so personal. If you are looking for an intimate and local experience then I couldn’t recommend this enough. If you prefer big hotels with a resteraunt/breakfast buffet then I think the other Jetwing in Jaffna is probably more for you.

The D'Villa Guest House add a big + to my beautiful week in Jaffna. Any negative energies in this sweet home. Everything has been well thinking in the layouts of the rooms (only 5) and of the common spaces. All my best thanks to Dilan for the nice welcome he gave me in his guest house. He's always ready, with a warm smile, to help and suggest the right ideas in any request. I want to thanks also Hilda, the lady who take care of the rooms cleaning, for her kindness and her nice interactive exchanges with the guests. Definitely, this address is The one to appreciate fully a good time in Jaffna.

Suganthi, the manager, and Anthony, the waiter, and the rest of the staff are all very friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to secure us a room with balcony when we arrived and had booked another room without balcony. We were given information on sightseeing in and around Jaffna upon arrival. This was very useful. We visited KKS beach north of Jaffna one day by bus to use the pool at the army resort. This we would not have found out on our own. The pool table on the porch was good fun in the evenings. We highly recommend this resort.

A slightly different experience to rest of the island but a positive one. However it was more dirty than other large towns and cities, rubbish is everywhere! The Dutch fort is the best experience, a place worth visiting. Driving down to the islands is a nice experience and much calmer atmosphere from main Jaffna city. The views of the ocean is great but the coastline is filled with plastic bottles, general refuse and redundant fishing gear. I would not want to wonder around barefoot but this applies to most of the srilankan cost line that I have visited... sadly..

Our time at Delft Beachfront Villa was amazing!

Our time at Delft Beachfront Villa was amazing! They didn't just offer us a free breakfast; they also organized a tuktuk and a knowledgeable guide so we could explore Delft island. The snorkeling they arranged was fantastic. The spot was beautiful, with clear water full of colorful fish and stunning rocks. we were mesmerized by what we saw underwater. Plus, they have bikes available for guests to explore the island on their own. If you looking for a memorable getaway with great hospitality and exciting experiences, Delft beachfront Villa is the place to go. we highly recommend it for anyone who wants a mix of relaxation and adventure!

Abi Holiday Villa was everything we hoped for and more!

Abi Holiday Villa was everything we hoped for and more! Nestled in a serene, spacious property surrounded by lush gardens, this villa is the ultimate escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. From the moment we arrived, the peaceful atmosphere—filled with the gentle rustle of palm trees and birdsong—made it easy to unwind. The villa itself is impeccably maintained, offering a perfect blend of comfort and style. The interiors are spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed, with modern amenities (like a fully equipped kitchen and cozy bedrooms) that made our stay effortless. But the true star of the show is the outdoor space! The sprawling garden feels like a private oasis, ideal for morning coffees on the patio, leisurely strolls among flowering plants, or evenings grilling under the stars. Our kids loved playing freely in the safe, open area, and we cherished the alfresco dining setup surrounded by nature. Location-wise, it’s a gem—tucked away for privacy yet conveniently close to Keerimalai’s natural springs and a short drive from Jaffna’s cultural sites. The quiet neighborhood added to the restorative vibe, but we never felt isolated. A special shout-out to the host, who was attentive and gracious, offering local tips and ensuring we had everything we needed. Their hospitality truly elevated our experience. If you’re seeking a peaceful retreat with space to breathe, Abi Holiday Villa is it. We’re already dreaming of our next visit! Highly recommended for families, couples, or solo travelers craving serenity. P.S. Don’t miss watching the sunset from the garden—it’s magical!

We enjoyed visiting the Nallur temple, fish market and fishing village and especially the excursions around the Jaffna peninsula and the nearby islands. August is a great month to be in Jaffna, as there are temple festivals all around, with music and rituals. For a nice cold beer and some snacks, the Machang bar / restaurant - near the modern North Gate Hotel - is highly recommended. For a mid-morning snack, the old-fashioned Malayan café near the busy market is a great place where time seems to have stood still. Food is served on fresh banana leaves - which are thrown away in the 'banana leaf throwing station'. For a decent evening meal, head to the Valampuri restaurant - in the hotel of the same name. You'll be surrounded by lots of Sri Lankan family groups.

"Jaffna is a truly impressive city—very clean, peaceful, and notably low on traffic. We had a wonderful stay at the North Gate Hotel, situated right next to the railway station. What surprised and delighted us most was the spotless condition of the Jaffna Railway Station. In our experience, railway areas are typically the dirtiest, but the excellent maintenance here created a lovely and quiet environment right outside our hotel. Our sincere thanks to the Railway Master for setting such a high standard! We absolutely loved our visit and look forward to returning."
