“The owner was very friendly and genuine. The rooms were little packed but clean and manageable for one night it was perf”

Mainly the location, it was very close by.

“reasonable”

I really liked healthy breakfast (pineapple, papaya, banana, egg and toast) with black tea or coffee. It costed 1500 rupees/person.

“Good value for a short stay”

Good location in the old town. Owner can arrange also a bike rental and it lies at the beginning of the tour and close to the museum where you can also can buy the ticket to visit all the old town.

“Good room to start exploring the ancient city”

location is best to explore the ancient city. They have bicycles and safari service also.

“Place was easily accessible so I selected.”

The place is calm and quiet and easy to reach.

“I don’t recommend them. The place was not clean. I would recommend others to ask the owner for the price in advance.”

The Rooms were not clean, the dishes unwashed and dirty, the bed sheets weren’t cleaned for long, a lot of bugs not just in our rooms but in the hall also. The home owner asked more money for everything. The breakfast were supposed to be 3$ but he asked for 5$ instead.

“Amazing host, great location and value for money.”

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.

Living room and waiting area is very clean. Friendly staff

Don't recommend

“great”

“Great place close to the ancient city”

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

“Convenient place near the ancient city”

Good value for money in Polonnaruwa. The owner helped me with everything from renting a bike to directions and safaris too.

“Friendly place”

I think good place normal

“If you are not expecting a luxury stay this is a perfectly adequate value for money location.”

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.

“The stay at Dilshan's place was phenomenal! He is very kind and always tries his best. He is a very nice person and”

Safe, clean, little outside-area to sit :)

the owner was very nice, he adviced us a lot And helped us a lot

“Great stay close to the ancient city”

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.

The most kind, friendly and helpful host which I had
