The villa is very nice, the room is big enough, with a mosquito net, towel, no blankets, no toilet paper, no wifi. But it's good value for money. If you have your own transport even the remote location is not such a problem.

Clean and quiet place. The owner and his wife helped me with everything I needed, they even booked the bus for me! I had a delicious dinner there. The place to stay in Mannar. Thank you very much again.

Some holes in the moskito net at the window.

Relaxed backpacker place. All a bit aged but ok. Slept very well. Very friendly owner and nice atmosphere. The owner organised a scooter to rent. You really need one there as neither the beaches nor the town are in walking distance. With a scooter you can explore the island nicely. The long morning walk from the old Dutch lighthouse to Saint Anthony's chapel and the beach beyond the Talaimannar lighthouse were my favourite places.

The mosquitoes coming into my bedroom at night because of a mosquito mesh that was in need of repair and mosquitoes at night on the verandah at night.The iced water dispenser was not dispensing chilled water but there was a fridge available to store drinks and food in the dining area.

The friendly guest house owner and his family and the meals that his wife cooked were delicious and the time he and his family took to make sure I enjoyed my stay.

I had a great time staying at El Shaddai, Vimal was very keen to help and all his family was very welcoming! Food is very good! It's a good location to go exploring the island, and there is a pond at walking distance which is a good place for birdwatching!

Just what we needed in this little town! The owner was so nice, helped us if we needed anything and gave us some advice on what we could do in Mannar!

The room was very hot and the windows mosquito nets were broken. Only 1 towel and cold water, no top sheet on the bed.

The hosts are the sweetiest people, attentive and caring. The breakfast is good and the bed is hard but very comfortable. Laundry service. Parking inside garden is safe and the position is quiet but central. Good tips from the host for meals and sightseeing. Free refillable water!

Nothing! The stay was perfect.

Vimal and his family welcomed us into their home with so much kindness and generosity. The home-cooked food was exceptional and room large and comfortable. They graciously accommodated our driver too. It was an absolute joy to stay at El Shaddai and share a few days with this loving family. We will be back!

Vimal and Rosemary are amazing hosts with the sweetest family and a lovely home. Especially as a female solo traveller I was very grateful for their support in any situation. I felt comfortable at every point and hope to come back some day. Highly recommended.

A cozy place tucked away from the noisy town centre and run by a welcoming family. It was quiet and peaceful and surrounded by fresh air. They gave me an upgraded room without any additional cost! I'd definitely stay here again whenever I am back in Mannar.
