Jetwing Mahesa Bhawan

the room was excellent. asked for twin bed and we got it. The breakfast was excellent.Have your breakfast there.

everything was just perfect. Cosy and comfortable, small hotel.

Mahesa Bhagwan was the highlight of our time in Sri Lanka without a doubt - if you are tossing up whether to book, I hope this review convinces you! I am so happy I booked this place and feel it was absolutely worth every penny - every time we returned after a busy day exploring Jaffna, it felt like coming home to an oasis. It is a simple and beautifully restored house but every detail of your stay is seen to. The staff at Mahesa are an absolute credit to Jetwing, they absolutely made our stay wonderful with unparalleled hospitality. They were very helpful with additional requests such as finding bus timetables and arranging tuk tuks. I recommend having a meal or two at the house - prepared by their lovely cook in Jaffna style. The breakfast was also delicious.

Potentially the villa is nice, colonial feeling

Room very old, no fridge, mattress like stone. Swimming pool very dirty, staff totally small for this level of hotel. Food options limited and you have to order dinner and breakfast many hours before. No wine available. Staff ask you every minute if you finish dinner because they want to go sleep. Price totally crazy for service offered!!

The villa offers a personal butler and a personal chef for your stay. You can wish for any food you like and they will make everything from scratch for you. There is also a private swimming pool and backyard. The whole accommodation is five star european standard clean! Janakan, Mehkala and Ramesh took great care of us, we felt better than at home. Will definitely come back!

Lovely older property with character. Rooms are tastefully decorated. The staff were so kind and helpful

I was confused over whether I had to pre-order lunch and dinner - maybe an email to guests to explain would help?
