Very good location - close to Polonnaruwa ancient city and the lake, as well as to grocery stores and restaurants. The owner was very helpful with arranging a bike rental and safari tour as well as onward transportation. The guesthouse itself is very pleasant.

The place is really nice and the owners are great. I was on the line with them all the time so they helped me reach their place. Their place is around 3km from the ancient city. They have bicycles for a small fee. The road next to the lake is amazing. I loved it. The room was spacious and cozy, hot water was available. You can get AC for an extra charge but I think a fan is enough. The food mom cooks is very delicious. I had dinner and breakfast with them. They were there to help me with everything and give me information about my sightseeing. I def recommend this place!!!

I was very happy staying at the Lake Cabin. Everything was excellent. Waking up early to the sounds of birds, sitting on the balcony to watch the sunrise, eating breakfast, and watching fishermen on the lake. Perfect!!! I felt relaxed and enjoyed every minute.

Everything here is exceptional! I've stayed at many guest houses, but this is by far the calmest and most peaceful place I've ever booked. The owner is very kind, friendly, and extremely helpful. The rooms are spotless, and the facilities are excellent for the price. It's also conveniently located close to Parakrama Samudra (just 1.8 km away). I truly enjoyed my freedom here, and this stay has become one of the most unforgettable journeys I've had. If you're looking for a budget-friendly place that is clean, calm, and comfortable, there's simply no better choice than this!

This place is made with love, this is a real home outside of your own home, where you are a valued guest. when you meet the host, you’d definitely like to stay more. The room is the same as on the photos, Wi-Fi connection was good. The wild life around the property is great - we have seen deers, fireflies, monkeys, lizards, birds and their nest. In the evening we enjoyed the talks about everything with our host as he is a great companion. the special thanks to home made breakfast and dinner!!! During the dinner the first time I found the difference between spicy (when it is about taste of different spices) and enjoyed it vs spicy that I tried before and it was only about a fire in your mouth). I would really wish this place to flourish and attract new guests. Whenever I need a time for myself in nature I will definitely come back here again!

    The location is perfect, close to the entrance of the old city. Very friendly and helpful owner (and his family) who arranged bicycles and transport to the next destination for a reasonable price. Also great to talk with them about several issues. Very clean and well maintained rooms and outside area.

    The room is basic and simple, but at the same time it has all the necessities. Possibility to cheaply rent bikes to visit the ancient city of Polonnaruwa and the owner Kalum is also a Safari guide. At first with my wife we weren't sure to do it or not because we were in a low-budget holiday, but then we decided to do it and it's worth absolutely every penny!! An amazing experience and impossible to describe it with words: you gotta do it to understand!! Super recommended 👍🏻

    Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely recommend if its in your budget. Pool was fantastic. General ambiance of the hotel was lovely. The staff were fantastic, we had a tour of the property on arrival and were shown the queens suit (with the golden bathtub!) Which we really enjoyed. My aircon didn't work in my room and I was immediately upgraded to a deluxe suite (very nice!). Breakfast was good as well. Location was ideal, very close to the ruins and beautifully located over the lake.
