Guest Reviews
- Loshni (8/5): Lovely hotels with a few tweaks to make it even better! - Really nice ambience and friendly staff. Appam at breakfast was yummmm! Not prepared for rain very well given the cost of the hotel. Also a lot of photo shoots on going which made it awkward going in and out of rooms.
- Loshni (9/5): -
- Nirosh (10/5): Best place to stay in Jaffna - One of the best hotels I’ve visited. It’s not about the luxuries but the whole atmosphere was amazing. The food (Jaffna cuisine) was amazing and the whole place had a great vibe. As a former art student, I enjoyed the art gallery and it was a highlight of the property. The pool opening times were a bit off but I am an early riser.
- Romy (10/5): Gerne wieder - Wunderbar, Einrichtung auf neustem Stand Nichts
- F5520HDmichelleh (10/5): Little Gem od Jaffna - We stayed at this little Gem of a hotel . The hotel is just off of a busy road, but you would never know once you are inside the grounds. The staff cannot do enough to help you and make your stay memorable . We are gluten free & the head chef came out and explained to us which dishes were safe for us to eat . Which was such a help. We must give a big shout out to Scotty!, he was our waiter . This young man was so friendly and could answer any questions that we asked . He was so eager to learn about us & our country & history. He made our stay extra special . We would highly recommend this beautiful hotel . Andrew, Michelle , Sig , Rod & Mike from England & Scotland .

- P7393KZpatrickd (10/5): Great stay - Great comfortable stay. The garden area makes it comfortably on a very hot area Highlight was the fruit bats that hanging around on the tree by the pool. We will stay here again if we return
- Dream08385083213 (10/5): Peaceful and comfortable stay - Amazing staff. High standards. Very peaceful and I glad that I booked here. Food was really good. The breakfast was good especially the hoppers. Has dinner one night which was also of the same standard.
- THAMBIAH (10/5): Excellent stay and will visit again - It is a very good place to stay in Jaffna The atmosphere of the setup and design of the resort
- Our former Wheaten..... (7/5): Wedding photo shooting crews detracted from stay with irritating early morning noise. - The hotel is as described and our Heritage room was lovely with a good bed and great a/c which you need, but the room location used as a back drop for wedding couples photography. Very clean property that has well maintained gardens, a decent pool area and a good on site restaurant. All the staff were a delight to deal with.
Despite our Heritage hotel room being near a busy road other than the internal noise is was very quiet.
Do book your Heritage room early as they get booked up and perhaps you may need make up to appear as an extra in this popular wedding shoot location. The four Heritage rooms are located around a small indoor courtyard with pond at the front of the property in the old house. Here lies the problem.....on two of our three morning stay the area was festooned with brides/grooms having a wedding shoot which caused unacceptable noise and talking from 06.00. We were not warned of this and feel the hotel should not rent the area until a reasonable time e.g. 08.00.
As a paying client one has a right to expect that one would not be staying on a film, set. I almost appeared into the shoot from my room door and recreated the scene in the movie Notting Hill in my boxers!
- zewdin2024 (10/5): Enjoyable, relaxing. Also we would like to extend our appreciation to the young man in the reception, very informative. - The communication skills and the high quality services we received from Andrew, the manager and the young team members Akilan and pradiktion ( I hope that’s the correct spelling) was outstanding. We stayed three nights and every dinner time they made us feel special and part of the family. I’m sure the two young men’s future in the hospitality will go far. Their fast professional an courteous.
Thanks to Andrew and to the team.
- kuhanmagandran (10/5): Wonderful - Very good and clean hotel.
Thank you for the professional service Mr Sivashankar
- Jet53618287057 (10/5): Awesome Stay! - I was at the Fox Jaffna Resort for couple of days in April to visit our ancestral temples I had an amazing stay thanks to Shane, Andrew and the rest of the staff. . They were always attentive, helpful. Enjoyed the traditional Jaffna cuisine and especially the seafood dishes. Definitely be back in the future!
- M2024OJannam (8/5): Compliments to the hotel. - Loved the relaxed vibe of the hotel and the restaurant was especially accommodating to our request. We would like to also highly praise Scotty for his hospitality and sincerity.
- hansinih2026 (10/5): Service and support, staff - It was a nice pleasant stay and the crew was really respectful . Specially Sivasankar at the reception was really nice to all of us and Scott from service staff was a wonderful person too. Overall food was awesome and service was excellent and the vibe of the hotel is really good.
- Kesan (8/5): Excellent. - Location, atmosphere, cleanliness and staff Nothing as such.

- 543jovankam (10/5): Can’t wait to go back! - Absolutely amazing! The rooms were fabulous, the food was out of this world and the service was next level.
Scottie was such a treat. He was so friendly and made sure we were taken care of.
The Jaffna crab curry at Fox was the best I have ever had. I can’t wait to go back.
- Ashi (10/5): -
- Ashi (10/5): Wonderful stay - Conveniently located in the middle of the town but soon as you step in to the hotel grounds it doesn’t even feel like you are in the middle of the hustle and bustle of a city. Rooms were spotless clean. Linens and towels changed everyday. Tea stations and water filled and ready every morning. Hats off to the housekeeping staff for a highly professional service. Restaurant staff was truly helpful. We traveled as a big group of 15 family members. The staff offered us to set up a big breakfast table to accommodate the whole family. They went out of their way to move tables around and set up the tables so we all can enjoy the meal as a family.

A special thank you to Mr. Scoty, who made our stay truly memorable. His hospitality, friendliness, and attention to detail were outstanding. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for us.
The food was exceptional – delicious, fresh, and with a great variety. The restaurant experience was one of the highlights of our trip.
Rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The entire staff was warm and welcoming, making us feel relaxed from the moment we arrived.

- 809anjalij (10/5): Service with a smile - want to commend and appreciate the staff at the resort . - The most outstanding attribute of this hotel is the staff - extremely friendly, welcoming, courteous and going out of their way to make you feel truly special ! The food is beyond incredible and they cater to special requests!
Special mention of Scotty, Nilakshan , Pradikshan and Andrew and his entire team. Their amazing enthusiasm in serving the guests are truly commendable 😃
- David (9/5): Lovely and peaceful hotel situated on the grounds of a historic property on the outskirts of Jaffna. - The hotel is lovely and peaceful, with a beautiful pool and bird-filled gardens. The room was simple and comfortable. The restaurant was excellent. The staff was friendly and very helpful.
- Mahesan (7/5): Nice locality, friendly staff & management, breakfast is good too. - Location & Hospitality Because of an open swimming pool, there were several mosquitoes fly's around bring it very unpleasant experience. Perhaps, the management to consider " Mosquito Killer with Eucalyptus Aroma Oil, Fly Killer Spray For Indoor Use".
- ncL9311TN (10/5): Fantastic! - Jaffna Fox Hotel offers a great setting and a relaxing environment, perfect for unwinding. The staff is exceptionally trained, and a special mention to Sanjeewa at the front desk, who gave us a fantastic overview of the hotel and local attractions. Overall, the staff was friendly and accommodating, and we thoroughly enjoyed the food. No hesitation in recommending this hotel, and we’re already looking forward to our next stay!
- Alonso (10/5): The perfect combination of heritage, hospitality and a peaceful atmosphere - It is a beautiful well kept heritage complex. Well designed and adapted to its new use. With a history to tell. As Sri Lanka’s in general, the staff is extremely welcoming, hospitality at its best. Always with a smile and a “yes” attitude. Food is also very good. Gardens beautiful and you can also learn part of Jaffna history in one of the bunkers. They have two. The other one is an art gallery. I have nothing negative to say about this place
- 50hirum (10/5): Exceptional stay - Absolutely loved the experience. The rooms were impeccable—spotlessly clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully maintained. The staff were truly outstanding; every member of the team was attentive, welcoming, and eager to assist.
The reception staff, in particular, were exceptional. They went above and beyond to help us organize a day tour at a very reasonable price, which made our stay even more enjoyable.
The food was another highlight. We were treated to authentic Sri Lankan cuisine that was both flavorful and memorable. A special mention to Scoty, who ensured that every guest felt well taken care of and satisfied with their dining experience.
Overall, a wonderful stay—highly recommended.

- David (8/5): Our first visit to Jaffna made all the more memorable by great food and service in terrific surroundings. - Beautifully furnished and decorated, especially the Heritage Wing. All of the rooms/wings (even outside the Heritage Wing) are named after prominent Sri Lankan artists and the rooms are adorned with their art. The controls for the air conditioning and shower are somewhat clunky and counter intuitive. Trivial first world concerns in the scheme of things. They were more than counterbalanced by the wonderful service.
- Naresh (8/5): An exceptional stay with outstanding service in a peaceful and characterful setting. - The property has a beautiful heritage feel with a calm, relaxing atmosphere, and the pool area is a real highlight. The rooms were clean, spacious, and very comfortable. What really stood out was the service — the staff went above and beyond throughout the stay and were genuinely warm, attentive, and welcoming. The only minor downside was that the menu could be a bit limited, especially for a longer stay, but overall this didn’t take away from the experience. The food and the ingredients that are on the menu were top notch.
- 694anuv (10/5): Stay at Fox Jaffna - Pleasant service, neat and tidy.
- 38shreea (10/5): Wonderful stay! - The staff were all so so friendly and accomodating, everyone in the team were extremely thoughtful and welcoming. They made our stay so wholesome! The atmosphere is lovely! Will definitely be staying here on our next Jaffna trip. Thanks everyone!

- peterkN5230BW (10/5): Oasis in Jaffna - Excellent all round, friendly oasis in Jaffna, with the only pool in the town too.
Food excellent, service friendly and efficient.
Rooms comfortable with balcony.
I would not stay any where else when in Jaffna.
- Christopher (10/5): Perfect place to stay in Jaffna. - Everything was superb, as were the staff. Nothing
- sada (7/5): -
- tanyagU1485NL (10/5): Exceptional - We had a wonderful 3 night stay at the Fox Resort Jaffna. The staff were exceptional as was the accommodation and food. We would highly recommend this hotel.
- Greg (9/5): - Very comfortable hotel in an oasis of green Nothing
- Tanya (10/5): Our stay was exceptional and I would highly recommend this hotel - Everything our stay was exceptional There was nothing that we didn’t like
- Janny-Dee (10/5): An excellent and relaxing stay in Jaffna! - We enjoyed six nights at Fox Jaffna. Our room overlooking the pool and dining room was spacious, clean and perfect. Daily “refresh” service. The food was very good with lots of choice either from the evening buffet or à la carte menu.
We especially want to highlight the services of a few of the staff. SCOTTY from the dining room was very friendly and helpful – always willing to go the 2nd mile to assist us with menu requirements and ready for a friendly chat about his working and home life. SHANE on the front desk and general duties also assisted us with suggestions on places to see in Jaffna . He made sure we caught the correct bus. Dining room staff member PRAKTITIIN also looked after us – his quiet and friendly demeanour was appreciated. SIVASHANKER welcomed us on arrival and helped with a few logistical queries. Thank you all! Fox Jaffna is a haven in the city - safe, expansive manicured grounds, refreshing swimming pool and dining facilities.
- 645lexig (10/5): Lovely stay - The gardens are just lovely, so picturesque. Lovely food and excellent service. Lovely rooms.
- Catherine (9/5): Beautiful hotel - The hotel is beautiful, food is excellent and the staff are all lovely. It was good to see such happy interactions between the staff. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was fantastic and so easy to use with push buttons for each shower head. The swimming pool was most of the time very relaxing. We were given a free late check out time which we were very grateful for. The pool area could do with some more sun beds for busy times. I had read comments from others about wedding photography. Up until our last day it wasn’t a problem as it was fairly unobtrusive. However on our last morning we felt very uncomfortable around the pool. There was one photography crew who carried on taking pictures in the pool area for some considerable time and they were taking photos down the length of the pool which made us feel we couldn’t get into the water. It would be better for guests if the photography was allowed in the garden area only away from the pool. This is the only reason I have given a 9 instead of a 10.
- ebyogini (10/5): A peacefull and green oasis in Jaffna - We stayed 5 nights as part of our yoga tour in North Sri Lanka, and the Fox was one of the highlights. It's a peacefull green oasis in dusty jaffna with a refreshing pool, confortable rooms, delicious food and excellent service. Special thanks to Scotty and all staff members who made our stay extra comfortable.
- frequenttraveller63 (10/5): A nice hotel with character - After an initially disappointing experience (beware - the windows in the heritage rooms are boarded up, and there's no natural light!), staff member Sanjeewa charmingly and efficiently changed my room to one of the new blocks, in the David Paynter building. This was a lovely room, overlooking the pool, which was spacious, with lots of light and a modern bathroom. I was happy and comfortable for my stay. The hotel has lots of character - an old house with large garden, swimming pool and a great restaurant with a nice verandah to sit out on. The emphasis is on Jaffna food (including breakfast - only very limited Western options available), which is very tasty. The swimming pool is great (one of very few in Jaffna), and quite large. The bunkers (one an art gallery, the other a museum) are very interesting, a throwback fromthe war, when the building was requisitioned first by the LTTE and then by the Sri Lankan Army - making it a very historically interesting place to stay. Although not in the centre of town, the hotel is well-located and not far to travel to restaurants, the bazaar, fort, library and other landmarks. It's close to Nallur Kandaswamy Devasthanam.
- valdaw2026 (10/5): Lovely food and excellent service - We had a wonderful dining experience at the restaurant in Fox Resort Jaffna. We enjoyed two dinners there during our stay, and both times the food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented.
A special thank you to Scoti, who served us. He was very professional, friendly, and attentive, making sure we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout our meals. His warm attitude truly added to our experience.
We really enjoyed our evenings there and would happily recommend the restaurant to anyone!
- Gnanakalai (9/5): Enjoyable stay. - Cleanliness & environment Unavailability of reception staff ( few times during our stay)
- Sonntag (10/5): -
- natalja (10/5): - Es passt einfach alles. Hochwertige Anlage, Service, Mahlzeiten, Ambiente. Außergewöhnliched housekeeping. Es gibt Fotoshootings, die unterhaltsam sind. Aber man fühlt sich beim morgentlichen Schwimmen im Pool dadurch etwas störend.
- Beatrice (8/5): - Le surclassement très sympathique.
- Jane (8/5): -
- Rajini (10/5): Perfect Jaffna heritage stay - Everything. The facilities. The setting. The location. The staff. The underground art bunker. You will not regret staying here! Nothing. All amazing.
- Tricia (10/5): - A beautiful and relaxing hotel. Eceptionally friendly and helpful staff Wedding photoshoots wete very noisy at 7am outside David Paynter block today. All too intrusive to sit on our balcony.
Noisy dogs after miidnight for several hours on Sar

- Judith (8/5): We visited Jaffna in order to go to St John’s College wher my husband’s Grandfather had been the Pri - The breakfast offered a good selection of local food. We enjoyed the pool, and the fact that the dining area was open with tables in the verandah and in the garden. The air conditioning was not too cold Two suit case stands. The room was for 2 people and we had a suitcase each. Only one would fit on the stand so the second one was on the floor. I am 82 with spinal stenosis and found it difficult to get things in and out of the case. I fell over it in the dark at night.
- Jacqueline (10/5): Hôtel parfait; bon service, amabilité, efficacité. - Emplacement et cadre parfait.
- Gnanarajah (10/5): Outstanding - Excellent property with outstanding hospitality.
- Johan (10/5): A very foxy delicious. - Vi tyckte om frukosten väldigt mycket, speciellt om man gillar Lankesisk mat som vi. Mycket goda smaker i maten. Bra och rymliga rum, med bra vatten tryck i duschen.
Två bunkrar med ett museum och ett konstgalleri under huvudbyggnaden där det var fritt att gå ner och titta i.
Poolen var trevlig och hade avslappnad miljö.
Personalen i restaurangen var väldigt bra och kunniga. Speciellt Scotty serviceminded och mycket trevlig. Vi har inget vi kan klaga på.
- Ayme (10/5): Un Grand Établissement - Le vrai luxe et la quiétude !
Personnel attentionné.
Véritable écoute.
Piscine plaisante jusqu'à 21h00. Un musique plus traditionnelle en ambiance serait parfaite.
Le personnel peut être un peu envahissant au moment du ménage.

Hotel is part of local history of Jaffna and has a museum showing both local art and local history. Spacious. clean room and views overlooking pool and well manicured gardens. Bathroom recently upgraded and showers were amazing. Definitely value for money. Our package included breakfast and dinner. Both meals had a variety of food to cater to all palates. Was flavoursome and delicious

- jegaj2025 (10/5): Great customer service - Overall this Hotel was excellent! I would give 5/5 Stars, the customer service was great as every one of the staff was friendly and responsive. The food was amazing at the buffet breakfast with options for everyone. The rooms were clean, cozy and neat. We had no problems with the rooms and all had a good nights rest. The atmosphere was friendly, relaxing and fun with chill music in the background and green luscious grounds with a diverse range of flora. It was peaceful and noise level was low even though there were people everywhere (not packed). I would like to give the pool a 4/5 as it was cold but it was clean and a good size with chairs to sit around and beach towels.Overall I would give it a 5/5 as Customer service (Scotty and team) was a standout in our opinion.
