This place is a gem. The moment you enter, you feel immediately relaxed and you learn the family history of this place. The pool is relaxing, and the dinner we ordered each night was easy and traditional Sri Lankan food. Our visit to Jaffna has been magical, and we are so thrilled that we chose to stay here. The beds are comfortable, and the rooms are private and quiet. This is our first trip to Sri Lanka, but it won't be our last, and we will definitely be back.

The hotel complex is close to several of the tourist sites in Jaffna (eg 15mins to the fort, 10mins to temples, etc.). It is on a busy street with restaurants and shops but when you’re in your room, you don’t hear that street noise. The room was large, super clean (and cleaned every single day!). I appreciated the kitchenette and there was even a jacuzzi in the garden patio area (though I didn’t use it this stay). Bathroom was decent size with good water pressure and hot water. The staff were super friendly and helpful. They organised an early breakfast packet for me since I went to Delft Island and had to leave around 6:45 (before breakfast). On one day there was a large breakfast buffet spread and following days à la carte breakfast menu. Food was delicious! I also ate dinner in the restaurant and their buffet was fantastic for options. Also WiFi was strong and worked throughout the entire area. Pool area was nice to relax.

If you are planning to visit Jaffna, this is definitely the place to choose. The location is very convenient and close to all the main attractions. Parking is available, and you are given a key to the gate, making it secure and easy to access. The rooms are spacious, very clean, and well maintained. The bathroom is large, spotless, and beautifully designed. The pool is extremely clean you honestly won’t want to leave! The staff are very nice, helpful, and attentive to everything you need. Special thanks to Taksi. He was super nice team player. Their warm hospitality truly makes the stay even more special. Breakfast is absolutely delightful and gives you a true Jaffna home style feel. Highly recommended! 🌴✨

It was absolute bliss. We were three couples travelling together and we had the entire house to ourselves. The bedrooms were super clean and the beds were very comfortable. The staff (especially Janakan) were incredibly attentive, lovely and made everything work beautifully. There really was nothing we lacked. The breakfast prepared by Mihla was delicious and so personal. If you are looking for an intimate and local experience then I couldn’t recommend this enough. If you prefer big hotels with a resteraunt/breakfast buffet then I think the other Jetwing in Jaffna is probably more for you.

There is absolutely nothing to fault about this hotel! The staff were amazing and so friendly. The food was great and the room was very clean & comfortable. Scoty in particular was amazing and always so attentive, he always made an effort to chat to us and make sure we were happy. We ended up staying her for 1 week and had a lot of days relaxing by the pool. We were very sad to leave!

Jaffna is a must visit, even if it may not be a polished tourist destination, like Galle. Jaffna has a unique old world charm, her strong cultural heritage is evident in the food, dress, architecture and palmyra dotted landscape. The beaches have a sleepy feel to them... nobody trying to sell you trinkets or sarongs, the Jaffna Fort is immaculate and impressive and the sunset paints the sky as you drive down the causeway to the islands. Traffic is not an issue, except around the bus stand. Sadly, most of the fantastic mango varieties that Jaffna was once famous for have disappeared, with the only survivor being the iconic Karthkolamban. In their place, we saw heaps of Rambuttan and Mangosteen from the South and Citrus from Pakistan.

Our time at Delft Beachfront Villa was amazing!

Our time at Delft Beachfront Villa was amazing! They didn't just offer us a free breakfast; they also organized a tuktuk and a knowledgeable guide so we could explore Delft island. The snorkeling they arranged was fantastic. The spot was beautiful, with clear water full of colorful fish and stunning rocks. we were mesmerized by what we saw underwater. Plus, they have bikes available for guests to explore the island on their own. If you looking for a memorable getaway with great hospitality and exciting experiences, Delft beachfront Villa is the place to go. we highly recommend it for anyone who wants a mix of relaxation and adventure!
