    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 .

    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.

    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.

    Nagadeepa temple and Nagamma kovil was most attracted places to visit in Jaffana along with Jaffna Fort and Library and Museum. Although the Road to Nagadeepa has to be repaired . The City and Roads are clean and the people are very kind

    I loved the local life feel of Jaffna.

    I loved the local life feel of Jaffna. People are not dependent on tourists here and it was a good insight into the rhythms of Sri Lankan everyday life. The food is delicious and well spiced. Try the dosa's for dinner and pitthu for brekfast. The beaches along the north coast (KKS, Point Pedro) are not worth the fuss, however we did not have time to see any of the beach life on the islands so you may be rewarded there.

    The Hotel is very lovely and is full of old world charm. Our room opened onto the front courtyard which we enjoyed. The staff was helpful organizing day tours with a locally certified and knowledgeable guide. The restaurant staff is very friendly and provide intentive service. We traveled to Jaffna for the food and were surprised every morning and evening with high quality and delicious Jaffna cuisine. We were able to learn from the chef in an interactive cooking lesson. We enjoyed our 4 days at the Fox Jaffna and can recommend staying there.

    The hotel is very new (only a few months I think) and there weren't many (or any?) other guests when I stayed, so it was very quiet. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, the food was tasty and the kitchen was open whenever I wanted to eat or drink something. The location was amazing, I was walking everywhere in town from there and it is very convenient for both the bus station and the train station. Would absolutely stay here again if (when!) I come back to Jaffna.

    Berty was a very amicable, courteous host in his home. Right from the start he helped in arranging pick up from the airport & a warm welcome at his place. Room was simple but quiet, clean and comfortable. Location excellent. Breakfast was fresh and well prepared. He also helped in organising tours around Jaffna and taxi service to Colombo. If you are looking for simple yet comfortable homestay in Jaffna, Berty Cottage is a gem of a place sure to satisfy most guests.

    We really liked Betty’s Cottage and the owners were really nice. They booked our bus from Colombo to Jaffna which was a huge help, and they waited up until 4 am for us to arrive. We had only booked the place for the following night so they charged us half a day. The breakfast offered was fine, nothing to rave about. The WiFi is really good! The hosts are also nice and very dedicated to making sure we got everything we needed.

    The location was excellent, just a few minutes tuk tuk ride from Jaffna train station. We had dinner at Green Star Villa on two nights and it was excellent value for money - reasonably priced and fresh and very tasty. Not sure if we were allowed to have seconds but we did without additional charge. The staff were very friendly and accommodating of our needs.

    Most relaxing holiday we have ever had. We definitely didn’t want to leave and would absolutely return to the same holiday home again. Especially wanna mention and appreciate about fire extinguishers and first aid box in Abi Holiday Home which we hardly see in other hotels and places in Sri Lanka. 5 stars from my side. Highly Recommended.

    We were a bit skeptical when we arrived as it looks like a builing site, turns out the hotel is behind the building works! There was no building going on during our stay, so we weren’t disturbed by any noise. Clean, quiet and spacious room that allowed us to get a good nights sleep in Jaffna
