Our stay here was truly unforgettable- the chill vibe, rustic setup and the sense of community within was an entirely new experience for us. Accommodation was surprisingly good- though a modest setting, we were very much comfortable throughout the stay. The food was delicious- made me fall in love with northern cuisine. Filtered water was available always, the chilled drinks and refrigerator availability was a game changer. Tommy and the staff was friendly, attentive and supportive throughout....

I honestly don’t know what more to say than that everything about Tommy is spot on. From the very first contact, he provides you with all the information you need about the place, the expectations, and the island, so you won’t be disappointed and you know exactly what to expect. If you’re an open-minded person who enjoys taking a different path and going off the beaten track, Delft Island and Tommy’s hostel are truly made for you. You receive a warm welcome from him, his team, and his mo...

I had an amazing stay at Delft Village Stay. This place truly gives you that authentic village experience I was always looking for. The environment is peaceful, natural, and very unique. A special thanks to Tommy he was extremely helpful, friendly, and made sure everything was comfortable throughout my stay. Delft itself is an incredible island from the wild horses to the beautiful sea views, everything feels untouched and special. This stay made the whole experience even better. Highly recom...

Chill island stay, and very nice hosts. I loved the overall vibe and the layout outsides. The food was really yummy too. The only thing is that the bathrooms could’ve been much cleaner.

A unique community experience, one of the best places I stayed in Sri Lanka. It attracts open-minded people, which made every evening special. I made some really nice friendships here. The owners and staff are just as warm and welcoming, often joining in and creating a very inclusive atmosphere. Delft Island itself is already a great destination if you’re looking for peace and something different, but even if you just stay at the camp, there’s plenty going on. Sleeping in a tent was a fun ...

What a memorable few days with Tommy n family. The place they’ve created is perfect for relaxing, socialising or exploring the amazing island. The food made by the family and friends is phenomenal and was a great way to try new dishes and flavours. Everything was so fresh. I was very sad leaving which is a testament to the space they’ve created for people. Can’t wait to go back.

Amazing stay at Delft Village Stay. A very cozy and warm place that has everything you need to explore the island and everything you need to chill. From a morning dip in the ocean facing the sunrise to catching the sunset on your bicycle, the hot hours offer you plenty of time to read in a hammock, relax in the chairs, play the guitar, cards or even some badminton and volleyball for the more sporty, practice some yoga or just talk with the interesting people around you. Tommy and his mom and fri...

We had an amazing time here, if we weren't limited in time we would have definitely stayed longer. Tommy, who runs the place, is a great host. Everybody that works here is very friendly and the food is delicious. It is not a luxurious place, so do not expect to find any here, but all the basic needs are taken care of within the possibilities of the island. If you are looking for a nice place to relax and be surrounded by trees and island vibes, this is the perfect place.

Such a great spot. Locally owned and operated, very chilled, and a surprising number of things to see. Rent one of the bikes and explore the island early or late (way too hot in the middle of the day, so that is when you hammock 😊). Tommy has prepared some map routes so you take the best tracks, and his mother and the team have tasty meals to order. It should say something that every single guest that was there when I visited extended their stay. Including me. Everyone added at least 1 more ...
