“Very comfortable one night stay”
Very clean and comfortable place to stay. A refreshing dip in the swimming pool was very welcome after visiting the Ancient City! Edna and her husband are very welcoming hosts. They also very kindly drove me to where I bought my ticket to see the ruins. Breakfast was very tasty too. A good place to stay when visiting Polonnaruwa!

We booked this ad-hoc for our stay on Christmas Eve (high season) and it was an ok choice. The best value for our family was the pool, after a demanding and hot day in Polonaruwa. The pool is ok and seemed clean. We also ordered breakfast and dinner, both were ok (Sri Lankan choices). The room was quite basic.

“Good beds, clean rooms, do not expect the pool. So, no value for the money.”
Beds are very comfortable. Rooms are clean. Tea making facilities are available.

Fantastic! We thoroughly enjoyed visiting with our family. We could not have felt more welcome and the evening meals were, in the children’s words, the ‘best in Sri Lanka’. We agree! Thank you so so much for a lovely two days.

“Best stay in Sri Lanka so far”
The owners are the most lovely and kindhearted poeple, they are caring and we had an interesting conversation about their lifes and family. Edna cooked outstanding curry for us, don't miss out on the opportunity to have dinner there! The hotel itself is neat and comfortable and it's a more quiet hideaway. The pool was a real blessing after our tour trough the ancient city on an extremely hot day. We also rented bikes at a good price for exploring the neighborhood.
