Wonderful place to stay in Polonnaruwa that is like home, and everyone there like family. Comfy and full of warmth, the dinner and breakfast are also exceptional. Some of the best food I have tasted in Sri Lanka. A highlight of my trip and a place I will hope to visit again...

This property is beautifully situated in front of a serene paddy field, often visited by peacocks. The room was clean and well-maintained, with a charmingly landscaped garden at the back. The property itself is thoughtfully designed, offering a peaceful and calm atmosphere. The owner was incredibly supportive and attentive, ensuring everything was perfect during our stay. It’s also ideally located, with easy access to all the attractions in Polonnaruwa, just a short distance away. We highly recommend this property for a tranquil and enjoyable stay—we absolutely loved it!

The hotel is in a beautiful location, overlooking the lake. There are so many birds to see. You can also go on a boattrip to see the wildlife. It was stunning. And very quiet, no roadnoise. You are only a few minutes away from the ancient city, in a tuk tuk. Food was good and the staff very friendly.

    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. 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.

    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.

    The site seeing of historical places were the best. Most of the time we ate at the hotel and visited some locals and shared a meal with them. We hired a vehicle during the tour, This gave us the flexibility to get around. Net time I'll try to get there in the cooler months, mid December.

    Fantastic location in terms of close to Polonnaruwa archeological site - and actual hotel is next to lake - masses of bird life, and fishermen launch boats from adjacent “beach”. Staff super friendly and helpful. Nice pool with plenty of sun-loungers - in shade if required. Pleasant restaurant area - gigantic lobster-like prawn very tasty. Really good Sri Lankan breakfast - delicious. excellent value.

    Undoubtedly one of the best places in Sri Lanka. We have been attended to at all times with the highest level of excellence. We saw elephants from our room, attended local dances where our daughter could participate, were taken fishing on the lake, and enjoyed some wonderful days. This hotel is A MUST near many of the cultural sites in the center where you can stay for several days. We will return.
