Jaffna is highly recommendable if you like to see Sri Lanka...
Jaffna is highly recommendable if you like to see Sri Lanka in a less mainstream tourist way. There is a lot to see, very interesting history and lots of cultural and religious highlights. Go to Nagadeepa and Delft Islabd as well for a day.Else Loes en Felix - 10Scored 10
Jaffna has always been a lovely place to visit.
Jaffna has always been a lovely place to visit. This time we went to Kayts and saw what was left of the old Fort as well as Hammond Hiel across the water. Went to Point Pedro as well...It was a pity that there was a postbox at the northern most point of Sri Lanka - but no postcards or stamps!!! Seeing flamingos and other migrants across from the causeway to Kayts was a bonus. Food is always great and we would recommend Lavin's for some excellent parathas and paper dosai.ppriyanthiSri Lanka - 6.0Scored 6.0
Jaffna was not as I expected .
Jaffna was not as I expected . Staying where I did you really needed your own transportation. I tried unsuccessfully to rent a bike ,and was told by Click hire place they were booked out for a few days ,I wondered about this as I hardly saw any other tourists ,and other companies didn’t return calls . Fort was really disappointing compared to Galle ,and they charge admission ! Restaurants recommended by lonely planet good , but Mangos has closed ,the Malaya is very good ,as is Akshatai ,but avoid Green Grass ,it’s horrible ,I couldn’t imagine staying there ! Rio Icecream is really good .Robert - 10Scored 10

Very different to Colombo and other suburbs, but Jaffna has its own unique vibe. Pretty laid back I would say. The locals are friendly, but communicating with them could be a little challenging unless you spoke Tamil. Plenty of things to see and many different foods to try.

Its a quiet village with less population.
Its a quiet village with less population. Nice for a quiet getaway. Small and cosy town. Food is good and friendly people. Temples are good to visit too. The trip to Nainativu is unsafe. Boats were overloaded and I was afraid of a stampede because of the crowd. Other than that, everything else was a good experience for me.singam - 10Scored 10

Takes two days to travel around all the attractions, first day travel the east from Jaffna town with a rented vehicle which is much cheaper than the other areas. Other day travel nagadeepa and close by locations to Jaffna city. It was a nice experience around there for the everyone, but must pre plan everything.NavarathnaSri Lanka

- From $21.78 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very GoodRated very good· 109 reviewsThe location of the hotel is very eco friendly, away from the town area free from noise and pollution. Home made food were provided on request as per our request. Mr. Suren was very friendly and readily available at any time. He recommended a tuk tuk Mr. Siva, he is well experienced tour guide and knows every corner of Jaffna. We were very happy that he took us to many historical places. Moreover with regard to the accommodation if they could provide a small TV, a mini fridge and hot water facility.
RochelNew Zealand - From $39 per night9.6Scored 9.6ExceptionalRated exceptional· 19 reviewsBerty 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
DavidUnited Kingdom - From $38.40 per night8.0Scored 8.0Very GoodRated very good· 38 reviewsThe rooms were comfortable, clean and spacious. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The security staff, cleaning staff and reception staff all were kind. Especially reception staff Mr Jenit accommodated all my family's ad hoc requests without hesitation and delay. A very convenient place to cover the whole of Jaffna if you are planning to cover all parts of Jaffna. Few restaurants and a supermarket within walking distance. Highly recommend.
IndikaUnited Kingdom - From $82.60 per night6.1Scored 6.1PleasantRated pleasant· 31 reviewsvery dirty. the main reason for booking was for the pool that was out of action. breakfast was meant to be included in the price but they charged me for it. the price they charge does not reflect the service received.. I have been travelling Sri Lanka for 3 months and this was by far the poorest hotel and the price I paid was much too expensive. Jaffna is a beautiful place and people should visit but do not stay here. Very poor standard!
TristanJersey - From $87.68 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 354 reviewsConvenient location right next to railway station but also quiet. Spacious and attractive room, pool was clean and refreshing. Some of the best food I’ve had in Sri Lanka. Staff was attentive and welcoming and always ready to help, from the front desk to the restaurant Special appreciation for the young woman at front desk (Ms Thanthoty ? sorry for misspelling ) who helped me book my onward bus ticket.
EileenUnited States of America - From $13.30 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 293 reviewsIt is located in a walking distance to the Nallur Kandaswami temple and also not far from the major attractions in Jaffna. If you travel to Jaffna by train it is much more easier to reach by a tuk tuk. I was traveling to experience the Nallur feast 2023 and had a great time due to the Inns' location mainly. Apart from that the staff is very helpful and friendly. Really worth the price. I recommend it 👌
Sam_lkSri Lanka - From $18 per night7.1Scored 7.1GoodRated good· 111 reviewsFirst thing is the staff. They are very friendly. They have made us more helpful, safe, mind relaxing & supportive environment in the location. Also the location is much better we can have a quick walk to the town, Malayan cafe, Jaffna market, Bus stand and lot more. That’s really great. And also this property has AC and hot water facilities as well. For the cost this is really worthy choice.DushmanthaSri Lanka
