“Not quite what was expected”
+The bedrooms were large and the air con in them worked well. Having an elevator to transport cases was very useful for our elderly group. Vijay, the caretaker, was helpful and pleasant.
−It was very disappointing that the swimming pool was unusable as this was a main reason that we chose Mango Nest as an accommodation option. Also, the cleanliness of the kitchen was questionable.

“It is an average experience. I could not say it is value for money.”
+The breakfast was good. The care taker was OK, but he was unable to communicate clearly. I don't think I will return to that property again.
−The swimming pool could not be used as it was not cleaned. Also the pool is not illuminated at night.

+This villa was exceptional - impeccably clean, stylishly designed, and absolutely stunning. The property is even more beautiful in person, with a perfect balance of elegance and comfort. Every space was maintained to the highest standard, and you can tell the hosts take great pride in the upkeep. It was peaceful, private, and the perfect escape from busy life. Everything we needed was provided, and the experience felt seamless from start to finish. We genuinely wished we could have stayed longer! Thank you to Vijay and Mathusan for looking after us! We will definitely be coming back to stay again!

+Our stay at The Mango Nest in Jaffna was truly unforgettable, and thanks to our incredible house keeper Vijay. His hospitality went above and beyond our expectations. Vijay was a courteous and generous from the moment we arrived. He not only ensured the property was impeccably maintained, but his local knowledge was invaluable. He provided excellent recommendations that helped us explore the best of Jaffna. What we are most grateful for is his kind assistance with our toddlers. Having an extra helping hand made our trip so much more relaxing and allowed us to fully enjoy the beautiful property. The Mango Nest is a stunning villa, and Vijay's warm and welcoming nature made it feel like a home away from home. We highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Jaffna. Thank you Vijay for a truly memorable stay!

“Wish we could stay longer.”
+This is a beautiful home with a Moroccan feel. The rooms are large and the beds comfortable. Bathrooms nice with great water pressure. VJ welcomed us with a drink and in the morning prepared a beautiful western breakfast. A first time experience and he did it very well.
−Everything was great. Wish we could have stayed longer.

“Great stay in Jaffna!”
+Loved staying here. Madhusan and Vijay were very accomodating and helped us settle in. The property is beautifully furnished and (probably) architecturally designed. A great option for a group in Jaffna.
−As discussed previously, the common areas are open air and attract bugs and mozzies. Would be good if efforts were put in to seal off the bedrooms so bugs couldn’t get in from the common areas or the outdoor bathrooms.

“Außergewöhnlich schicke Villa mit freundlicher Betreuung”
+Eine wunderschöne und gut gelegene Villa mit einem freundlichen Empfang. Alles wie abgesprochen, flexibler Gastgeber. Ich durfte auch kurzfristig per Überweisung bezahlen und wir durften sogar kostenlos Wäsche waschen. Alles schick, gerne wieder.
