Our room was extremely clean and that seems to be rare in Sri Lanka. There was no humidity marks at all in our room. The outside pool area is just so beautiful. The pool is super clean, went for a great swim. The property is surrounded by rice fields and has plenty of wildlife.The rooms are a little out dated but thats ok since everything else is great and clean. Plenty of workers trimming plants and cleaning property. Breakfast buffet also was great. Definitely recommend if you are in the area.

The owner is very kind and ready to help us feel comfortable. The place is very peaceful but not too far from the ruins. The room is very clean and has a big balcony. The wifi worked great. When we told the owner we had to leave very early at 6.30 am., he packed a simple breakfast for us. Very good value

    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. 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. I am thankful to all the employees including the management for helping to make my holiday beautiful.

    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.

    Fabulous stay & highly recommended. Owners are kind & helpful and arranged an excellent Elephant Jeep Safari for us and bicycles to rent to explore Polonnaruwa. The safari guide/driver was really good. Rooms are large, spotlessly clean and lovely views over the rice fields. Breakfast is lovely & plentiful too. Quiet but handy location with short walk to restaurants, lake etc. Definitely recommend the restaurant Mr Punsiri’s Kitchen - so impressed we ate there on both nights of our stay.

    We stayed at Dilshan Tourist Home in Polonnaruwa, and it was an excellent experience! The location is perfect, close to all the main attractions in Polonnaruwa. The rooms are very clean and well-maintained, and the breakfast was delicious. We also used their taxi service, which was very reliable and convenient. The hosts were extremely friendly and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend this place if you’re visiting Polonnaruwa!

    We very much enjoyed our home stay in polonnaruwa at aruna homestay. The bedroom and bathroom were very clean and the beds so comfortable. The traditional dinner and breakfast we received were super delicious (hari rasayi:)). What really made this stay special, though, was the genuine warmth and generosity of the hosts. They made us feel not just like guests, but treated us like friends. Thanks again to the whole family, you've made our sri lankan trip memorable!<3

    The hotel is well situated surrounded by rice paddies and is a peaceful location. The hotel has a beautiful tropical landscaped garden with magnificent pool area which is welcome at the end of a hot day traipsing around the ancient site. The hotel is a family run business where the young members are the front of house and do a great friendly job. Breakfast was large and a good start to the day of a mixture of Sri Lankan and western.
