At the guest house, units are fitted with a desk. Featuring a private bathroom with a shower and slippers, units at the guest house also boast free WiFi. At the guest house, every unit is fitted with bed linen and towels. I don't think you can find anything better in Polonnaruwa. The place is new, the rooms are comfortable, clean and spacious, with AC. The location is excellent. But most of all, the owner is one of the most honest people I've ever met. He also helped me find a guide and transfers at great prices. Highly recommended.

The guest house specialises in a Full English/Irish and Asian breakfast and breakfast in the room is also available. At Villa Ravichini, the family-friendly restaurant is open for dinner, lunch and high tea and serves Asian cuisine. The guesthouse is close to the main sites. Ravi makes delicious breakfast with lots of fresh fruits. He even made us a takeaway breakfast when we had to leave early for elephant safari. Ravi organized bikes for us to use to see the ruins. He also set up an elephant safari with an excellent guide, Shiron. He was knowledgeable and showed us some incredible birds. He had a knack for getting us in the right spots for elephant viewing and was respectful to give the elephants space. Highly recommend a trip with him. We also recommend the morning trip as he said in the afternoons sometimes there are 200 jeeps!

À la carte and continental breakfast options with warm dishes, local specialities and fresh pastries are available. The family-friendly restaurant at the guest house serves international cuisine, and is open for dinner and lunch. Location was perfect, very close to the ruins. The owner offered pick up upon arrival but we got off the bus very close to the property. When we left, he was very nice and drove us to the station.

We loved our stay here. We only had a night which felt like enough for the area but wished we could have stayed longer at their lovely guest house. The couple that run it are so friendly, attentive and we felt right at home. The room was so cosy and tastefully done. We found the bed to be comfortable and really appreciated having a lamp and decorations in the room. The food was so yummy and fresh. We loved the dog Lily as well as the owners. There was just a warm atmosphere and the place felt loved.
