Facing the seafront in Delft East, Delft Village stay has free bikes and a garden. Boasting a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace. The homestay features garden views, a sun terrace and a 24-hour front desk. It was very nice place. I was even upgraded with the better option. Slept in a tent. There was a mosquito tent in the bed also. So it was very useful. Even though the weather before my visit was very wet, in the tent it felt dry and comfortable. There was enough space in the tent and around. It was the feeling like living in small village. The owner was very friendly and supportive. It was amazing to meet other travelers and have meals and games together. We met there New Year’s night. Had a fire and played games till the midnight to go for the new year’s bonfire. I am very thankful. The stay was amazing and the island is also very beautifully. Real nature sanctuary. If I will be back definitely come here.

With a private bathroom, units at the homestay also have free WiFi, while certain rooms also offer a balcony. At the homestay, some units are fitted with a kettle and fruits.

For guests with children, the homestay features a baby safety gate. Both a bicycle rental service and a car rental service are available at Munril Guest, while walking tours can be enjoyed nearby. Perfect location just a few minutes from Jaffna town. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and air-conditioned. The staff were very welcoming and made my stay pleasant. They also served a delicious Jaffna-style breakfast. The manager personally picked me up from the railway station early in the morning and arranged an early check-in, which I really appreciated. I would definitely return and highly recommend this place!

Offering a garden and garden view, Malabar home stay is situated in Jaffna, 3.2 km from Nallur Kandaswamy Temple and 3.5 km from Jaffna Railway Station. There is a private entrance at the homestay for the convenience of those who stay. Free private parking is available and the homestay also features bike hire for guests who want to explore the surrounding area. The hosts are incredibly kind. Adi let me store my bags at the homestay after I checked out, and even to take a shower when I came back to pick them up, which was lovely and meant that I could enjoy water activities such as the Keerimalai bath and the beach. Definitely get the breakfast (you can add it on once you're there). It's delicious and excellent value. The property is cute, with a pond built into the front walk (with fish you can look at 😍), an interior courtyard, and my room had an attached outdoor bathroom (with a roof and walls) that let in light while giving privacy, so I felt like I was in a private garden for my shower.
