This was a beautiful oasis of calm. Very peaceful with a lovely pool. We did not realise but they had a wonderful buffet tea in the evening which was very cheap. Breakfast was also buffet style with a chef making fresh hoppers and he let my friend try

Delightful and safe hotel with friendly and professional staff. The rooms were spacious and comfortable with good fittings. The garden area with tropical plants was beautiful, lovely to have a pool too. The breakfast and lunch was delicious and carefully prepared to our tastes, I recommend it!

Thambu Illam is a peaceful sanctuary hidden away in Jaffna. With four lovely rooms in a gorgeous courtyard property, it’s a wonderful space to relax after a day’s exploring. The pool is lovely, the accommodation comfortable and the location perfect. But best of all is the service: Chandranathan and his team are truly fantastic - helpful, friendly and always on hand to make your stay as good as it can be. I would highly recommend Thambu Illam and hope to go back one day!

We stayed here for 1 day, and enjoyed our stay very much. Michael in particular was super attentive to our needs and went above and beyond to cater for us. The food is also amazing and reasonably priced.

The hotel was a little oasis of peace and quiet and the staff were so friendly and helpful, in particular the manager Rajan. The vegetarian Sri Lankan food served in the restaurant was delicious. The pool was a perfect way to cool off. We spent 4 days there and would have happily spent longer.

I really enjoyed my stay at Kutumbaya. The staff were really friendly and helped organise a safari and tour of the ancient ruins for me. The food was great, particularly the Sri Lankan breakfasts. The WiFi and air con were good and I even found some Premiership football on the TV. I’d definitely stay here again!
