Our host was very nice and helpful. He arranged the rental of bicycles to visit the temple, he gave us information to take the bus and good advice to find local restaurants. The location is very convenient, close to shops, restaurants and now far from the temples. The room was very clean and quiet. We thank you for the very nice stay :)

Sanka is an excellent host, very friendly and helpful! And his wife is a great cook! Lovely breakfasts and dinners. The cabin is marvelously located overlooking the lake and the terrace is an absolute highlight, so nice to hang out. The cabin itself is small and basic, but with everything you need! Even coffee and tea facilities :-) We had a great time and enjoyed every minute.

Nanusha and her family are delightful. The location is lovely, overlooking a paddy field bordered by forest. Very peaceful with abundant bird life. Nanusha's home cooked suppers were delicious as were her breakfasts. This guesthouse offers exceptional value for money. Highly recommended.

It is located really close to the ancient town and to a beautiful lake where you can watch the sunset. The host is incredibly friendly and helps you with everything. The breakfast with the fresh fruit was exceptional. I would always come back.

Room is very big, with comfortable beds. Very quiet location. Hot water works very well, there is even a toothpaste. WiFi works very well. We had no mosquitoes. To the historical part you can cycle by bicycle , there is a path, you don’t have to cycle on the highway. The juices are very tasty.

I stayed with my two daughters. The hospitality was overflowing. At night we made a mistake at the inn and got in late and were cheered up by dinner, and the next day we forgot our tablets and they were delivered to Polonnaruwa. Thank you so much.

    great hosts who helped us with cycle hire for the ancient city and onward transport. The property is tucked away from the main road so is quiet but close to the ancient city entrance. Very reasonably priced for what you get.

    The guest house is a great location, just down the road from the ancient city and I rented a bike to go and explore it. Food was amazing from the host, some of the best I had in Sri Lanka. I would definitely recommend a stay. Especially as a solo traveller it was a nice break for two nights.

    Very cute, family run guest house close to the ruins. Lovely hosts, quiet, terrific breakfast (and dinner with much-needed beer upon request). Highly recommended.
