The house was full of ants.

The location was very good and they also rent bikes to go around, the manager was good and helpful

The room was comfortable and safe- we were happy here as budget travellers but I think if cleanliness is a priority for you it might not meet your standards. It wasn’t very unclean just lots of bugs and not spotless.

The owner was so lovely and happy to help. We had a really good, big breakfast too. Also he offered bike rentals for the ruins and a taxi to and from the station which we used and was really helpful. Also great location very close to the lake which we cycled around at sunset and was beautiful- recommended by the owner- and also close to the ruins.

The bathroom is a complete mess, you can't even turn inside the bathroom. Hot water does not come. Even in the shower, the water comes little by little. The bathroom is the worst.

Living room and waiting area is very clean. Friendly staff

The rooms were okay but nothing great.

Great stay. Good recommendation of the restaurant to eat lunch. Rented bikes and has a supply of cold water. Very close to the ancient city and the lake.

I had the pleasure of staying at Dilshan Guest House during my recent visit to Polonnaruwa, and I can confidently say that this charming guest house exceeded all my expectations! Upon arriving at Dilshan Guest House, I was warmly welcomed by the friendly staff, who made me feel right at home. The check-in process was smooth, and they were kind enough to provide me with a map of the area and some fantastic recommendations for exploring the ancient city. The guest house's location is simply perfect for history enthusiasts like me. It's conveniently situated close to the main historical sites, allowing me to easily immerse myself in the awe-inspiring ruins of Polonnaruwa. After a long day of exploration, coming back to the peace and tranquility of Dilshan Guest House felt like a true retreat. My room was a haven of comfort and cleanliness. The bed was incredibly cozy, and the tasteful decor added a touch of elegance to the space. I appreciated the little details, like fresh flowers on the bedside table, which made me feel pampered and cared for. One of the highlights of my stay was the mouthwatering Sri Lankan breakfast served at Dilshan Guest House. The flavors were authentic and delightful, giving me the opportunity to savor the local cuisine. The staff's attentiveness during breakfast was admirable, making sure I had everything I needed to start my day on a positive note. The early morning safari to Kaudulla National Park was an absolute delight. The jeep was comfortable, and our experienced guide had an impressive knowledge of the park and its inhabitants. As we ventured deeper into the wilderness, I was captivated by the stunning scenery and the anticipation of encountering wildlife in their natural habitat.

The location is excellent. The people who hosted us were very pleasant, helpful, helped us with transportation and gave us useful information without hidden charges. A very friendly husband and wife made us a very tasty local breakfast. Food top ten! Service ten! The Wi-Fi network is excellent. If you want to visit Pollonaruwa at affordable prices, I definitely recommend Dilshan Guest! 😊 greetings from Serbia!

room very small not enough room size service not must

Stayed in November 2022

Understandably after 2 years of Covid whilst the room had been serviced it was tired and was in need of a deep clean to bring it back up to a reasonable standard. The slightly intense owner was very keen to push/sell trips and other tourist activities. The door to the room opened out onto the main reception/breakfast area which could have been noisy if the place had been busier but was quiet during our stay.

We stayed in February 2022. The location was walking distance to the lake and the main historical sites. The main highway and the buses were a two minute stroll. The room was a decent size and the bed was comfortable. The AC worked pretty well. The en-suite bathroom was a reasonable size and the shower was usable. If you are not expecting a luxury stay this is a perfectly adequate value for money location.

They didn't realize our booking, and guess we were first foreign guest after Covid...everything was out of order...out of place...and obviously not cleaned for a long time.... maybe it gets better when business restarts again..

Just next to the museum and historical park entrance..
