For guests with children, the homestay features a baby safety gate. Both a bicycle rental service and a car rental service are available at Munril Guest, while walking tours can be enjoyed nearby. Absolutely lovely stay at Munril Guest! The rooms are spacious, spotlessly clean, and equipped with both air conditioning and a fan. The villa itself is beautiful, with a peaceful and green setting just a few minutes by tuk-tuk from the city center, a perfect balance of quiet and convenience. The facilities are excellent, but what really stands out is the incredible friendliness and helpfulness of the hosts. They even offered free rides to local sights, which was a wonderful bonus. Breakfast was also delicious and well-prepared. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Jaffna!

Offering a garden and garden view, Malabar home stay is situated in Jaffna, 3.2 km from Nallur Kandaswamy Temple and 3.5 km from Jaffna Railway Station. There is a private entrance at the homestay for the convenience of those who stay. Free private parking is available and the homestay also features bike hire for guests who want to explore the surrounding area. The hosts are incredibly kind. Adi let me store my bags at the homestay after I checked out, and even to take a shower when I came back to pick them up, which was lovely and meant that I could enjoy water activities such as the Keerimalai bath and the beach. Definitely get the breakfast (you can add it on once you're there). It's delicious and excellent value. The property is cute, with a pond built into the front walk (with fish you can look at 😍), an interior courtyard, and my room had an attached outdoor bathroom (with a roof and walls) that let in light while giving privacy, so I felt like I was in a private garden for my shower.
