The host, Mina, is exceptionally kind. She wants all her guests to be happy, comfortable and 'well feed'!!! Her cooking is also exceptional. The accommodation is simple, in a good way. I can well understand why people stay longer. Others become life-long friends. I hope to be one of these. A wonderful experience.

A room with a view of the lush garden and a peaceful terrace right in the tranquility of Pollonaruwa. Dinner and breakfast were both delicious. The host was exceptionally helpful, arranging guides for both an elephant safari and a tour of the wonders of the old town temples (both highly recommended); I had some money issues but he was very patient in helping to resolve them.

Great place to explore the ancient city as well as safaris in Minniyera NP, Habarana NP and Kurulu Eco Park. You can easily cycle through the ancient city and there are plenty of tour guides available to take you through the city.

Half a day was enough as the sun was out and draining.

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.

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.

We were very impressed with the ruins of the ancient city. And we were stunned by the sophistication and scale of this long ago kingdom. The Technology Museum was also superb. We think everyone should go to Polannaruwa.

Ruins is one of the best experiences I have ever had.

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 garden of the hotel is exceptional, there are so many beautiful flowers & you’ll see chipmunks and lots of beautiful birds around. The pool is just amazing and you can hang literally (!) between the palm trees. The dinner (curry) and breakfast are just exceptional. You won’t be hungry for a long time! We booked the Polonnaruwa tempel 4 hour tour with an English guide and tuktuk, which we can highly recommend. The manager and his family are all super friendly and helpful in case of questions for next steps of your travel

Lakshman is one of the best hosts I've ever met! Due to a train delay, I arrived at the guest house late on the day of check-in, but Lakshman was still very patient and waited for me. When visiting the Polonnaruwa Ancient City, he recommended a cost-effective and fantastic tuk-tuk driver. Before departing, he even picked lotus flowers from a pond for me to offer to sleep buddha! Lakshman's thoughtfulness made me have a great impression of Sri Lanka!

Ekho Lake House exceeded all of our expectations ! Our stay was perfect from start to finish. Probably our best hotel experience in our 3 week stay in Sri Lanka. The location is exceptionally beautiful and tranquil. The room was superb, the bed incredibly comfortable and the food top class. Everything was taken care of for us by the fabulously professional manager and his team. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We liked the proximity to the small town area, the lake and sightseeing. The pool was very relaxing and we took a long swim after a busy day sightseeing. Easy walk to town with small eateries, restaurants and bakeries nearby. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant and the rice and curry was superb as was the traditional Sri Lankan breakfast the following morning. The staff were all lovely and helpful.

The breakfast was one of the best in Sri Lanka. Well-located, a 2-minute ride to the entrance of Polonnaruwa. The possibility to rent a bike for a reasonable price to visit the ruins. Bed was fine. Friendly staff, the asked me if I was well after the Sri Lankan floods in November 2025.
