Host was lovely and made us an excellent rice curry for dinner. The location is perfect for seeing the ancient city. Host helped us with our inward bus journey.

The Guest family is super nice and friendly and really care about your wellbeing. I would absolutely recommend to take the dinner at this place for your missing out the best part otherwise. If you want to, you can go on safari with the son too (they have a jeep especially for that).

We had a really good stay in this house! Don't plan anything prior going to Polonnaruva, they will take care of everything! They have a lot of activities for all kind of budgets. Also the food is delicious and the family is really nice. Location is perfect, close to restaurants and a really nice lake. Best suprise was when we had a baby monkey at our room's window one morning!

Very nice and kind family, we had amazing dinner and time. We recommend this place ;)

very close to the sights and the museum, the food was good and its great for the cheap price. they also have a Jeep to go on a safari if you like!

Very friendly place. Excellent dinner. bicycle loan.

The hosts are super friendly! We got a huge and very tasty dinner of Sri Lankan foods. The breakfast was also really good. The house is located very close to the ancient city. They provide you with bicycles for only Rs./300, which I would highly recommend. The site is huge so you definitely need the bikes. The host also has his own jeep for doing safaris. We didn't do it because we had already done two safaris but there are several options close by and the host seemed to have good knowledge about the parks and the animals. The pictures he showed us looked really cool!

Small old style single room for a small price. Fine for a few nights while you see the sites. Excellent food. Good bicycle. Friendly people. Lots of Monkeys!

Very friendly hosts. They try their best to do what you want. If you order dinner from them, you can be sure that it will be tastier, more satisfying and cheaper than dinner at any other establishment. In addition, the owner's son can take you on a safari.

the infinite kindness from the host the cheap bicycle rental the delicious food ! ( ask for the chicken with the secret recipe sauce , you’ll thank me later ! ) the price

Legal information
Private hosts
Hosts who have registered with Booking.com as a private host are parties that rent out their property or properties for purposes which are outside their trade, business, or profession. They are not officially traders (like a global hotel chain) and therefore may not fall under the same consumer protection rules under EU law, but don’t worry, Booking.com provides you with the same customer service as we do with any stay. This doesn’t mean that your stay or experience will be any different than booking with a professional host.
