This is an absolutely spectacularly beautiful property. The pictures do not do it justice. The plants are amazing and the pool is very clean and refreshing. The rooms are beautiful with nice big terraces on many of them. But best of all is the staff. Everybody here in this family run hotel really sincerely wants to make your day better. And did I mention the breakfasts? 🙂

- 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!

We had a very comfortable stay. The place is not far from the city but nice, quiet and away from the city noise. Also the host was the most accommodating one I have ever met in Sri Lanka. He tried his best to make our stay a relaxed one.

    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.

    Very kind staff and manager. We have been travelling through Sri Lanka by road bike and always struggle to find places where they accept our bikes inside the room. At this hotel this was not an issue at all, very kind manager. Swimming pool is great and has long opening times. Definitely recommend for bikepacking trips :)
