    The location is perfect, close to the entrance of the old city. Very friendly and helpful owner (and his family) who arranged bicycles and transport to the next destination for a reasonable price. Also great to talk with them about several issues. Very clean and well maintained rooms and outside area.

    The room is basic and simple, but at the same time it has all the necessities. Possibility to cheaply rent bikes to visit the ancient city of Polonnaruwa and the owner Kalum is also a Safari guide. At first with my wife we weren't sure to do it or not because we were in a low-budget holiday, but then we decided to do it and it's worth absolutely every penny!! An amazing experience and impossible to describe it with words: you gotta do it to understand!! Super recommended 👍🏻

    Location is perfect, very close to ancient city ticket office. Bus stops are within short distance as well. The room is very clean and fully functional, and the owners are extremely kind and caring, they will even provide a bicycle to visit surroundings. Look no further for your stay in Polonnaruwa.

    Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely recommend if its in your budget. Pool was fantastic. General ambiance of the hotel was lovely. The staff were fantastic, we had a tour of the property on arrival and were shown the queens suit (with the golden bathtub!) Which we really enjoyed. My aircon didn't work in my room and I was immediately upgraded to a deluxe suite (very nice!). Breakfast was good as well. Location was ideal, very close to the ruins and beautifully located over the lake.
