Owner of the place, he helped with a hack with the sockets (little secret), and give honest opinion about safari (that it's not worth it at that time of the year). Pool is unexpectedly good, we were alone on it, but it was clean, lights were romantic, all the place it just perfect. Also the dinner and the breakfast was very tasty. I am rarely this satisfied with place. Keep it up!

- a/c and fan is in the room - clean bedroom and toilet - beautiful garden and view - comfortable bed - quiet place - cute cat - you can request lunch and dinner if you like - beautiful and designed building - nearby the Potgul temple (1km away) In overall we really loved the place 10/10. Even though there wasn't wifi (recommend getting a sim card at the airport). Breakfast is simple but for the price of stay it is really good value! I can highly recommend this place!

    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.

    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.

    We were very impressed with the ruins of the ancient city. And we were stunned by the sophistication and scale of this long ago kingdom. The Technology Museum was also superb. We think everyone should go to Polannaruwa.

    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.

    Lot of ancient locations and relics.

    Lot of ancient locations and relics. Can gain much information about historical Polonnaruwa era of Sri Lanka. Spread is in close vicinity and can cover all areas even without a travel guide. My favourite places were Parakrama Samudraya, museum, King Parakramabahu's castle and office, Gal Viharaya, Thiwanka Pilima geya, Vatadage, Hetadage and Sathmahal Prasadaya. There are places to eat in Polonnaruwa new town (Very close by). We dined at NS Tomatoes where the service was good.

    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.

    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.

    We liked the proximity to the small town area, the lake and sightseeing. The pool was very relaxing and we took a long swim after a busy day sightseeing. Easy walk to town with small eateries, restaurants and bakeries nearby. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant and the rice and curry was superb as was the traditional Sri Lankan breakfast the following morning. The staff were all lovely and helpful.
