Spacious and comfortable rooms, very nice common areas. Haran is the best host we have ever had, not only in Sri Lanka. Thanks to his advice our visit to Jaffna was perfect. He also helped us find the best solution for our return to Colombo by personally accompanying us to catch the night bus. The dinner at Nallur was the best in Sri Lanka.

Allen was an amazing host, very helpful on where to eat, what to do and how to get around - and he made a delicious breakfast served with Italian coffee! The location was perfect for visiting the Nallur temple, in a quiet residential area. The house was tastefully and stylishly decorated as were the rooms, with mosquito nets and everything else you might need. The garden was beautiful with a peaceful area to sit and gaze out. Highly recommended.

This is an exceptional place where you can truly escape the hustle and bustle of every day life, where you are lulled to sleep at night the sound of waves. The eco-conscious huts are exceptionally well made and comfortable. Staff are universally friendly and helpful and the food is delicious. Do not miss the cuttlefish curry which is to die for. The very friendly owner went out of his way to help me plan my days in Jaffna. Highly recommended

Lone Star Residence is newly built and furnished to exceptionally high standards.

Its located in a quiet lane on Manipay Road overlooking agricultural land owned/rented by smallholders. Noise and external interference is absolutely minimal.

Our stay at Berty’s Cottage was outstanding. Berty and Hilda are wonderful people really helpful with anything we needed, train, tuk tuk & tours before and after we arrived. Food was delicious as we requested genuine Sri Lankan and my husband got great cooking tips in the kitchen with dinner. They even packed our breakfast because we had a very early departure. The accommodation and their home is very clean and we felt welcome in all living areas. Thank you Berty and Hilda for a wonderful visit to Jaffna.

I & wife stayed for 4 nights. The room is clean & equipped with all the essentials like an air-conditioner, clean bathroom, and hot shower. The room is quite small in size with a table and dressing table. The place is packed with facilities. Ample, secure car park, Wi-Fi, small kitchen ideal for making tea or coffee, filter water, and also a washing machine ( we didn’t use it). If you are looking for a place for 1 - 2 night stay for a price range of 5,000 rupees Nallur Holidays Inn would suit you well.
