Great Place to go if you're in Jaffna. Very good location next to Nallur Temple, with shops and restaurants around. The house you stay at is big and beautiful. Haran, the host, makes you feel like you are at home. Haran and his team are very helpful, kind and open for conversations. Breakfast is very delicious and made from heart.

Simply a fantastic hotel in Jaffna. Location is excellent, near both the train station and sights. The room was beyond my expectations for the price. This is probably the best accommodation I stayed in during my time in Sri Lanka. Great hospitality by the staff too. Thank you for a great stay.

Excellent spacious and clean ac room and bathrooms. Quite comfortable for me, my wife and 2 children. A very good common kitchen with drinking water, coffee making facilities, refrigerator, tv etc. Spacious courtyard in front of the room, my kids enjoyed playing there. Mr Prasath and family, the owner of the property are very caring, friendly and a good person, who helped us to easily get into the location and arranged our return by tuk tuk guided for good food. There are nearby restaurants that serve authentic jaffna foods at a moderate rate. The location is very convenient for moving to and from the city, etc. Old and famous temples nearby as well.

    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.

    Haran the host was the most helpful we have met. He arranged everything from tours, places to visit and where the best food places to eat. When asked about where to eat out on our final night, he decided to cook us a meal and it was delicious. Breakfasts were outstanding each morning with fresh fruit and home cooked Sri Lankan Jaffna tucker.

    The house is down a quiet cul-de-sac, with a leafy garden and outside patio. Our room was large, with good size comfortable double bed. Air con, plus fan, plus mosquito net over bed. Plenty of sockets and good wifi. A lounge area with T.V. and dining area. Excellent delicious substantial breakfast. Allen was an extremely charming and helpful host, always willing to answer our questions, phone transport etc.

    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.
