    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.

    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.

    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.

    If you want to stay in Jaffna, staying at Tony is an absolute must. The guy is helpful, welcoming, generous, friendly and is keen on sharing about the local life. Wish I could put 20/10 The breakfast options were great and affordable The house is very big with spacious outdoor areas. There is also the nicest and cleanest dog I have ever seen: a golden retriever named Sophie who is around but keeps its boundaries when you need it.

    My room and the property were exceptionally clean. The bed was comfortable and there was sufficient lighting and power points. The food at the restaurant was tasty and reasonably priced. The beer was cold. Ahhhh! The staff was very helpful. Great quiet location. Do yourself a favor when in Jaffna, stay at the Gatetrees Resort… and maybe discover how it got its name.

    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.

The initial booking was for 1 night but the hotel staff made it very easy when I requested for an additional night. The breakfast included was splendid, no faults at all. Will definitely book this place when I come back to Jaffna.

    This is a newly built hotel. You can walk or hire a tuk to go there from Jaffna railway station. The bed ia really comfortable. The size of the room is bit small but as we didn't spend much time there it was alright for us. The boy in the reception is very polite and friendly. He also lent me his foot cycle to go to the neat by ATM.

    The hotel was a cool relief from the heat of Jaffna. The restaurant served great food, one of the best breakfasts we had in Sti Lanka. The pool (while a little warm) was a nice way to cool down. The room was a great size and very clean and comfortable. Wifi in the hotel was strong. Very close to train station
