The house owner Mr Biren Mahendran is very cooperative when booking the house. And the location is very peaceful, beautiful and secure. Well sufficient for a family or a group. Rooms are well cleaned and furniture are modern. Having a modern kitchen with all the necessary equipment. Really enjoyed the stay. The caretaker Mr Kerthi was very much helpful and he's fluent in Sinhala and English. Worth the money. Located in 550m away from Jaffna-KKS road and 9.5 Km away from Jaffna.

Helpful property manager (Mathushan) who was always around and willing to assist. Fantastic Jaffna breakfast served when ordered the night before. Clean indoor swimming pool (though not very deep) to help relieve from the Jaffna sun. Great rooms and bathroom. Interesting local art/photos on the walls as well.

We had such a wonderful stay at Nallarun illam! My husband, two children and I shared a family room, and we had ample space and ample air conditioning. The room is off of a shared kitchen/lounge space and a balcony, which was really nice for preparing snacks and relaxing. Everything was very clean and nicely situated. The biggest highlight of this place was our wonderful hosts. The host family could not have been more gracious. We happened to be in Jaffna for the new year, and they took us under their wing, sharing their traditions (including treats, dressing, a visit to the temple and fireworks at night). Their sweet kids played with our kids and, all in all, they made us feel completely at home in this beautiful city. We're very grateful for their generosity and hospitality and would absolutely recommend this place to everyone.

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.

Lovely good size room with excellent air conditioning which was needed in hot conditions and a fan. Room was spotless. Outside communal balcony with electric kettle. Access to shared kitchen and washing ironing facilities. Property set in nice gardens next to the old park. Grocery stores shops near by and only 25 walk to dutch fort and town centre but also lots buses at end of the road. Very friendly staff with good local knowledge and speak good english. Great place to stay to enjoy the beauty of Jaffna. Good value for money.
