It was a very clean and beautiful accommodation. The garden has a mango tree and we even saw some monkeys. A few steps away is a local vegetable and fruit market, we enjoyed. Breakfast and dinner was amazing! It was cooked by the hosts. They even helped us to buy something we lost on our journey and what is very hard to get in this area of Sri Lanka. Additionally we got great sight seeing insides. This guest house was.perfect for us.

Here’s the translation of your text into English: We were warmly welcomed by a woman who took great care of us from the beginning to the end of our stay. Our room was absolutely stunning, with a beautiful view of the garden, which is breathtaking! We enjoyed a delicious chicken curry for dinner and a traditional Sri Lankan breakfast in the morning. We even got to rent bikes to explore the ruins. I 100% recommend this hotel if you’re stopping in Polonnaruwa. Thank you for this amazing discovery!

We had a great stay here. Our hosts were welcoming, and cooked us a really delicious dinner and breakfast. They also organised bikes and tuktuks for touring the old city. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, with working internet and wifi, and the location is great - only 5min from the old city, and a 5min walk to the lake for an epic sunset. Recommend!

Our host was amazing and helped us with everything. The food was super, and we've got way more than we could eat. The hotel is located right around the corner of the sacred city, and we rented bikes to explore it easily.

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.
