Tony is a great host! He was very helpful, friendly and nice to chat with. He arranged for me a tour of Jaffna peninsula and helped with other travel arrangements. In the guest house there are whiteboards with lots of useful info for travellers such as train and bus schedules. Breakfast (a la carte) had a lot of options to choose from. Overall basic guest house but with great vibe and services.

Allen was such a good host and took good care of us. He served us tea and coffee all over the day. Also we had some really interesting discussions with Allen. We would definitely choose Allens home stay again.
