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 really enjoyed our stay! Tommy and his family are special, we had a beautiful connection since the begging 😊 Delft Island is an hidden gem out of the touristic route and for us one of the highlight of our trip to Sri Lanka. What makes the difference is the people, always smiling and welcoming, and ready to help! Tommy's place is simply gorgeous, tents are comfortable and it has everything you need. You can also rent bikes to go around the island and explore. His mom cooked delicious breakfast and dinner for us, and it was the best food we've had 😊 I highly recommend Tommy's place because you can really feel the love he has put to build it. Thank you Tommy, Atoch and Mum ❣️for opening your home for us, we had an unforgettable stay! See you soon. Silvia and Alejandro

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. Loved the place and Tony is a fantastic host that cares about guests having the best of their time while in Jaffna. Location was perfect, 50mts from the bus stop, in a quite area in front of a gorgeous park and a very short walk or bike ride from restaurants and the city centre and fort. Tony and his partner were super helpful with any matter or question I had. They helped me arrange a bicycle to go around town, a tuktuk tour of the northern side of the peninsula, and find good dining spots. Breakfast was good, based on local foods - they even made it take away on my last day as I had an early bus. I had a private bathroom, which was perfectly clean and the shower was great. Although my room was in the ground floor, I never had any issues with noise coming from common areas.

I greatly enjoyed my breakfasts comprizing various Sri Lankan treats. The property is situated on a quiet residential street but only a 10 minute walk to a main street with supermarket and places to buy ready food. In my opinion, everything was perfect. When I return to Jaffna I will definitely stay here. Very highly recommended! Thank you Dillon.
