Our room was extremely clean and that seems to be rare in Sri Lanka. There was no humidity marks at all in our room. The outside pool area is just so beautiful. The pool is super clean, went for a great swim. The property is surrounded by rice fields and has plenty of wildlife.The rooms are a little out dated but thats ok since everything else is great and clean. Plenty of workers trimming plants and cleaning property. Breakfast buffet also was great. Definitely recommend if you are in the area.

I stayed at Lake Park Hotel for two nights, and it was a fantastic experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The food was excellent, and the boat ride organized by the hotel was a highlight—well worth the money! The rooms were comfortable and offered stunning views of the lake, making the stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

The quality and dedication of the staff, from the lady at the front desk, to the young man who saw after me and especially to the manager, Shiyam Chamilsha. He went over and beyond to address my many requests and regularly checked in with me to see that I was comfortable and whether i needed anything. Any requests/concerns I had were addressed within a couple of minutes. He made sure that he and one of his staff would be available for breakfast if I happened to be needing breakfast earlier than 7am. The grounds are kept very clean, and the pool is really nicely done; it is beautifully lit at night. My room was simple but large and clean, and so was the bathroom. I enjoyed the food there, and they served a good breakfast. Going back to Shiyam, he made sure that I had food that agreed with me and never hesitated in modifying the menu or the dish to fit my special diet. I had to shorten my stay by one day, and he and the front desk had no issue with it. I offered to pay for the night anyway, but they declined. They arranged safe transportation for me to my next stay over, and, later, Shiyam checked that I had arrived well. In short, I do recommend this hotel.

    Half a day was enough as the sun was out and draining. At the last stop in Polonnaruwa where you have the temple there was a young man sketching and painting. There was also an older gentleman selling Neem & Jamun tree wood containers and tumblers for keeping water in the night and drinking in the morning Neem for better all over health & Jamun for decreasing blood sugar.

    The ancient city of Polonnaruwa has a lot to offer to the tourists who want to know about the history of Sri Lanka. It has so many ruins and monuments to view, and especially marvel at the stone crafting abilities of ancient Sri Lankans who have created so many buddhist states and artistic monuments by using rocks. Definitely a trip to add to your bucket list.

    The ancient ruins are a wonder to visit. Some great knowledgeable guides available. A few crooks about aggressively selling their Tuk Tuk and bicycle hire to be beware of. Our guide was sadly threatened and intimidated by these bullysome men.

    Ruins is one of the best experiences I have ever had. The staff is very nice. The food, the rooms are amazing. I invite all local and foreign people to come here and have fun. Located outside the city, it is a quiet and pleasant place to stay. In all respects, Ruins is a beautiful hotel located in Polonnaruwa. I am thankful to all the employees including the management for helping to make my holiday beautiful.

    The site seeing of historical places were the best. Most of the time we ate at the hotel and visited some locals and shared a meal with them. We hired a vehicle during the tour, This gave us the flexibility to get around. Net time I'll try to get there in the cooler months, mid December.

    Nice view from the room at rice fields. We got welcome tea when we arrived. The room Was a bit small but the towels and bedcloth were clean. There were some insects in the room, but we suppose it's common here. Very good location, the place is close to the Centre and at the same time calm. The host offered breakfast for 4usd/person, yet later she added also service charge - we were not informed about it before and never experienced it in any other guest houses and hotels.

    Beautiful property! We loved our stay and the food was also exceptional (especially the Sri Lankan curry set). I recommend booking “half board” as the dinner set was also great. The hotel is on the doorstep to the museum and close by to all the temples and we rented bicycles from the hotel. VERY comfortable rooms also with a good coffee (pod) machine. Good wifi.
