Situated within 200 metres of Polonnaruwa Clock Tower and 600 metres of Deepa Uyana, Sahan Tourist House features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Polonnaruwa. This property offers access to a balcony and free private parking. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. Sahan provided me with a spacious, comfortable, clean, fragrant and bright room. The bathroom is immaculate. It is located a 10-minute walk from the ancient city and rents bicycles to visit it. Sahan is a flexible and friendly person, full of attention and useful advice. He recommended a good hairdresser and an excellent (and trendy) restaurant just a few steps away from the property. As I had to work remotely, I needed excellent Wi-Fi, and here it is truly perfect: I had six hours of video conferencing without the slightest problem. I felt at home and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to visit this beautiful site.

Boasting lake views, Sudu Neluma Home Stay offers accommodation with balcony, around 1.6 km from Polonnaruwa Clock Tower. This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. The homestay has family rooms and facilities for disabled guests. I felt home. It’s really value for money - especially for the family who runs it. Shanta and his wife did their best to make me feel welcome and taken care of - they are so kind and friendly. I also had dinner here and it was homemade and delicious. The room is simple but you have the basic conditions you need. The location is also good - even though it’s a bit far from the ruins, the way to it is by the lake, which makes up for it! Thank you very much!

Located in Polonnaruwa, 2.5 km from Gal Viharaya and 2.9 km from Polonnaruwa Vatadage, Lake Cabin offers air conditioning. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk and room service for guests. The reason to come here is that front porch. The rest of the cabin is small but functional. Give yourself a few hours to stay there and watch the animals of the lake. We were braced for clouds of insects, but there weren't many, maybe we got lucky. We also went for the morning lake tour which was fantastic. Excellent breakfast as well. The host was really helpful and easy to get ahold of.

It was an amazing experience and Aruna and his wife and daughters are truly amazing hosts. The room was clean and comfortable - no complaints there - as advertised. We were able to also rent a scooter from Aruna to go exploring more the ancient city which was very helpful. All in all we had a fabulous time - only sad that we could not stay longer.

This guest house provides free private parking, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. 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!

Set within 400 metres of Polonnaruwa Clock Tower and 1.2 km of Deepa Uyana in Polonnaruwa, Jayaru Guest House features accommodation with seating area. This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, full-day security and luggage storage for guests. Nice air-conditioned apartments in a beautiful shady garden. The apartments are located close to the sights, the lake and shops, but far enough from the busy main street. The host was very attentive and willing to help us with anything and completely arranged a safari for us, including transportation. He also lent us bikes, which we used to ride around the lake one day and the next day to ride through the historical ruins. We spent 3 nights in the villa and it was a wonderful experience that we highly recommend to everyone.
