We stayed at Delft Village Stay for just one day, but it left a lasting impression! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the delicious homemade Jaffna-style food—especially the crab curry served with pittu. It was an unforgettable culinary experience! Our favorite part of the trip was exploring the island. We loved seeing the majestic horses roaming freely and visiting the many fascinating historical sites. The serene and beautiful beach added the perfect touch to our getaway. Delft Village Stay is a hidden gem, offering a unique mix of cultural heritage, natural beauty, and warm hospitality. Highly recommended!

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!

One of the cleanest and most comfortable places we stayed during our travels around Sri Lanka. The hosts were exceptionally friendly and polite, making us feel right at home. The room was spacious with comfortable bed. Sri Lankan breakfast was absolutely delicious. We also appreciated having access to the kitchen fridge and the reliable Wi-Fi. Jaffna turned out to be an unexpected highlight of our trip — such a hidden gem! Highly recommended!

Great location for transportation, services and amenities. Still in a quiet neighborhood. Cleanest new building with a cool breeze from the trees around. More than enough personnel for security, maintenance etc. I rented a small single room, but there are bigger a/c rooms with plenty of common space to accommodate groups.

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.

this delightful homestay/ guesthouse is a short walk from the bus stop (outside the bakery in Dambulla) and only 10m back from the road, but completely secluded and quiet in a beautiful garden. The family are wonderful, speak excellent English and grandma cooked me a wonderful Sri Lanka curry for dinner. Breakfast was good as well and I was greeted on arrival with good coffee and homemade cake! They even gave me a lift to the Caves in the morning for free. A real gem, I cannot recommend enough.
