I had an excellent stay at Living Inn Guest House during my visit to Polonnaruwa. The environment is calm and peaceful, offering a perfect place to relax after a day of exploring. The hosts are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. The room was very comfortable, clean, and had everything I needed for a pleasant stay. Another big plus is that the guest house is conveniently located close to all the main attractions in Polonnaruwa, which made getting around super easy. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!

Great Stay – Truly Value for Money! We booked Livinginn Polonnaruwa online and stayed there with three families. It was a great experience from start to finish. The rooms were spacious enough for our budget, very clean, and well-maintained. They also served us delicious food exactly as we requested, and always on time. The owner was extremely helpful and welcoming, which made our stay even more pleasant. The garden area was perfect for our kids to play and enjoy safely. The dining area was also very convenient—fully equipped with plates, glasses, spoons, a burner, microwave, fridge, and everything we needed to prepare or enjoy meals comfortably. Another big plus is the location—very close to the main attractions in Polonnaruwa like Gal Viharaya and Rankoth Vehera. Overall, we’re really happy with our stay and can confidently say that Livinginn Polonnaruwa is truly value for money. Highly recommended!
