Set within 1.3 km of Nallur Kandaswamy Temple and 1.8 km of Jaffna Railway Station in Jaffna, Berty's Cottage offers accommodation with seating area. Private parking is available on site at this recently renovated property. The bed and breakfast features family rooms.

We really liked Betty’s Cottage and the owners were really nice. They booked our bus from Colombo to Jaffna which was a huge help, and they waited up until 4 am for us to arrive. We had only booked the place for the following night so they charged us half a day. The breakfast offered was fine, nothing to rave about. The WiFi is really good! The hosts are also nice and very dedicated to making sure we got everything we needed.

    Berty and his wife are charming hosts and nothing is too much trouble for them. Their cooking is absolutely delicious - a delight to get enjoyed. The rooms are spacious and very clean. I had left my medicines in Colombo and Berty took me I to the pharmacy to have the replaced. Their ho e is situated in a very quiet area and you wake to the sound of a variety of birds. A very enjoyable and comfortable stay and I will definitely stay there again when I next return to Jaffna

    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.

    Berty was a very amicable, courteous host in his home. Right from the start he helped in arranging pick up from the airport & a warm welcome at his place. Room was simple but quiet, clean and comfortable. Location excellent. Breakfast was fresh and well prepared. He also helped in organising tours around Jaffna and taxi service to Colombo. If you are looking for simple yet comfortable homestay in Jaffna, Berty Cottage is a gem of a place sure to satisfy most guests.

    I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The central location allowed for easy exploration. While there wasn't a wellness area, the overall positive atmosphere was convincing. I would gladly recommend the hotel and look forward to my next visit

    The room was large and clean, with AC, fan, a handy fridge, and with a kettle and mugs and tea/coffee. The shower was warm and powerful. The location is good – it's only a short drive from the city centre, and it’s a short walk to nearby restaurants and the Nallur Kandaswamy Kovil (beautiful Hindu temple). The (paid for) breakfast buffet that is available at the nearby Heritage Hotel was varied and tasty. Have some masala chai! The staff were very happy to hold our luggage at reception for the afternoon, when we checked out.
