Where do I even begin… Anathan’s place was an oasis, a safe haven for me after I spent a few days in the hectic and chaotic Colombo. From the very first moment that I arrived to the very last minute that I left, I always felt taken care of, spoiled almost, and above everything, I felt at home. In fact, Anathan’s place was so comfortable, so peaceful that it felt almost difficult to get out and explore the town. Obviously a home isn’t a home without its host. And for that, I have to thank Ananthan for going above and beyond to provide me with a comfortable stay. He always made sure that I had enough for breakfast, always asked if I wanted more tea and coffee (and yes, please), and even brought me along to the ceremonies at the Nallur temple where his family and friends were also there, welcoming me with unparalleled warmth and hospitality. Even though I was a solo traveller, I had never felt lonely during the entire stay. Ananthan was always there should I need anything. It brought me great joy and peace just to sit by the patio and listen to the singing of the birds and the rustling of the trees. I was sad that I could not stay longer. And I’d return, time and again.

This hotel provided exactly the serene escape we were looking for. The clean and spacious room gave us plenty of space to relax, and the minimalist design really helped us clear our minds. We also loved the natural sounds of birds in the morning—it added to the peaceful vibe. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We'll definitely be back!

It has a mix of AC and non AC rooms and is in a quiet location next to a park. You have access to a kitchen and a terrace to sit in the evenings. A really mellow friendly golden retriever pup lives here too. You can have breakfast every morning, you just need to eat Tony know the previous evening making it very convenient. I also really liked the information wall allowing me to plan my trip in the north smoothly as some information is hard to find online or locally as language can be a barrier.

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.

Our stay at Allens home stay was very unique! Allen knows everything about Jaffna and its surroundings and will help you in any way to make your trip up north a special one. His garden is beautiful and quiet. The guesthouse is a 20 minute walk from the buisy city centre. We felt completely at home during our stay. Allen is a very warm and welcoming person. Breakfast was fantastic, Allen even made a food package when we had to catch an early train.

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

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.
