This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available.

Delicious and cheap food served on site. Bikes to explore the ruins can be dropped directly here! I would definitely recommend!

Binara and his family were friendly and welcoming . He speaks very good English and communicated clearly and promptly throughout. He went out of his way to ensure that I got the most out of my stay and was so kind and helpful in helping me with travel arrangements. He recommended a wonderful elephant safari with a very knowledgeable and experienced guide which I really enjoyed. This was a great base for exploring Polonaruwa and I would highly recommend Binara Homestay.

Set in Polonnaruwa, near Polonnaruwa Clock Tower, Deepa Uyana and Polonnaruwa Vatadage, Aruna homestay has a garden. Boasting a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. There is free private parking and the property offers paid airport shuttle service. Staying at Aruna Home Stay in Polonnaruwa was by far the best experience I had with local people during my trip in Sri Lanka. Mom and daughter were incredibly kind, always smiling, and genuinely helpful, making me feel like part of their family from the very first moment. The room was simple but very clean and comfortable, with everything I needed for a pleasant stay. What really made the difference was the warm hospitality: sharing meals, stories, and local advice gave me the chance to experience authentic Sri Lankan culture in a way that no hotel could offer. The location is also great, close to the ancient city and easy to reach by bike or tuk-tuk. Breakfast and dinner prepared at the homestay were delicious, with fresh and traditional dishes full of flavor. Positive points: The warmest and most genuine hospitality Hosts always smiling, kind, and helpful Delicious homemade meals Clean and comfortable room Great location near Polonnaruwa ancient city

This property offers access to a balcony and free private parking. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. Sahan Guest House was an awesome find! The welcome was warm and genuine — I was even greeted with a refreshing welcome drink, which was a great touch after a long trip. The room was super clean, air-conditioned, and really comfortable. WiFi was fast and reliable, which was perfect for planning my day trips and staying connected. The location is perfect — right in the city, close to everything, and just a short ride to the ancient city. Super convenient if you’re exploring the cultural sites nearby. There’s also fast food and other restaurants nearby if you’re craving a quick bite. Honestly, the hospitality here is top-notch. Sahan and the team really care about their guests. I felt safe, relaxed, and very well taken care of. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!🍹🇻🇳

Featuring garden views, New Haven Polonnaruwa features accommodation with balcony, around 49 km from Pidurangala Rock. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. The guest house offers rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. New Haven Polonnaruwa has been, by far, the best guesthouse I've been in my whole trip. The place is brand new, extremely comfortable and clean. It is also decorated with good taste. The exterior area, still under construction, is spaceous, and has a lot of possibilities. It has a traditional kitchen built in clay, and an area to have breakfast/lunch/dinner very cozy and nice. Congratulations to the chef! Food is so good! The owner, Iran, puts a lot of love on the project. Also he has shown me his amazing paddy field, we've collected coconuts together and do not worry if the place doesn't have a swimming pool (yet), because he took me to a canal for a nice swim very near from the place.
