We booked non ac room, but not a lot of windows in room,hard to change now , but is Jaffna so expect heat .go ac and it will help. Strong room fans quite helpful..

Was able to access our room at 4 30 am after an overnight bus from Negombo. Dilan father looked after us.Hilda was very good attending to our needs.Verandah lounge area was good. Water available and use of fridge was good. Street food on Kandy Rd was really good .supermarket, bottle shop also. Good access to Nallur temples.Wi fi fast. Train line not a problem.

The floor could be cleaned more often.

Located outside of Jaffna town, off the main road, easily accessable by bus. Owner Dilan is very helpful, arranges Jaffna islands and Point Pedro round trips with tuktuk. Also could use a bicycle for extended excursions. The train line behind the house was not disturbing as trains do not operate during night. Breakfast is delicious and plentiful. Dilan is also owner of D'Villa Garden House. I recommend staying here.

Need to chill to the bakers van and dogs serenading quieter than the Baker 😆 in the early morning

Very supportive staff. Jaffna was extremely hot so accommodation was welcoming at the end of the day. We had air conditioning and you need this in Jaffna. There are fans in shared areas and one on covered balcony was excellent in the evening so do find the switch if sitting there in the evening. The breakfast was excellent and house keeper cheerful and excellent customer care, special homemade sunday treat.. We stayed 5 days while exploring Jaffna. Showers brilliant you don't need to use the heated ones as the water comes out of the mains one nicely warm and powerful.not like uk.. Dried our clothes over day in the bathroom. Family very welcoming, gave advice and on hand when needed. Home is in a residential area just off the main Hospital road leading to Jaffna city centre with buses and tuk tuks available e.g. 300 lkr tuk tuk to centre. You could walk but bit hot. Would not have liked to stay in central Jaffna, dusty and noisy. We had a car but supplemented with tuk tuk. Jaffna is so hot but we found some Oasis delights- Springs and Temple near Pedro point just like old sea filled baths in Cornwall ..womens enclosed with showers, just wear long dress or light pants and top. Jetwing Jaffna roof bar great views and cool breeze, omelette and drinks not expensive. Lavins oposite Nullar Kovil temple, jucies, deserts and meals just that bit different from lunch time local eateries went 5 times once we found it. Island hopping via car. You could probably hire a tuk tuk to island hop. Beautiful and just attached by causeway near the Fort. People very friendly and hard working. Sunsets brilliant by Fort and park in the evenings. Library a good place to shade.

Some moskitos and other insects. Room Nr.2 gets noise from the AC machines so avoid it unless you use AC yourself.

Nice rooms, and lobby decent location, water and tea for free, bicyles available, very friendly owner. I wanted to stay for 3 nights and ended up staying 6, as I could not find a better place in the area. Jaffna town has a pleasant liveliness and a few highlights, like the Dutch Fort, the fishing port, the market, some temples, the Malaysian Cafe, but the magic only starts if you rent a scooter and explore the shores and beaches around. Go to Point San Pedro, Msmatkedu beach, Keerimalai temple and pool, Delft or better Nainativu island, Kovalam lighthouse etc. It is a beautiful part of this beautiful country.

Not many food options in walking distance. Generally a bit far away from the Center. In that regard compared to other places in Sri Lanka a bit too expensive. In Jaffna there are not too many alternatives, though.

Clean, big room. Friendly owner. Close to a train station. Nothing to complain really.

We enjoyed our stay at d'Villa! It's a nice place to explore Jaffna, only a short walk or ride by tuktuk to the city center. The host was well reachable and made sure we got everything we needed.

The room could have been a bit more clean. But overall it was ok.

The guesthouse is run by a very nice Gentlemen called Dilan. He organized a wonderful day trip with a TukTuk and a super guide for us (Shiva). The breakfast was super nice and he also helped us to rent a scooter. And they also offer laundry service. We could use the common fridge and water kettle.

Appointed in a quiet lane off the main Kandy road,the only thing that you are likely to hear is the occasional train and the gaggle of geese that live next door.Its near Old Park where you can easily get a bus into town for 40 rupees It's a very welcoming place and it's host Dilan is a smashing bloke who is a mine of information and he is also very sociable.I ended up staying double the time that I had booked

not very clean, tea & coffee station never had any tea & coffee, no amenities nearby (had to really search for a place to eat). recommend just spending one day here (2 nights) to see Jaffna, but not much else to do and not really infrastructure for tourists.

host was friendly, very local experience. the WiFi was really good.
