“Quiet room”
The owner was fantastic. He had no problem arranging an elephant tour for us. He lent us bikes. When I got a flat tire, he brought another one so I could continue my ride. It was easy to arrange dinner and breakfast with him. The owner also arranged transportation from the bus to their place and back to the bus. He knew where it was good to have laundry done. I definitely recommend it.

He was very wonderful. He took me to his hotel by his car from railway station. It was fanatic to me because I was worrying about finding the hotel at 11 PM and the city was strange to me. And he helped me to take my trip by lending me the bicycle. It's very useful and comfortable to my tour.

Super location for visiting ancient city. Owner Amal organized bicycle with extra high saddle for me. Breakfast (add on) was huge and tasty. Amal arranged pickup from bus station and his son brought me to bus station when I left. Recommend also boat tour with fisherman. Was exciting with elephant sighting. Cycling along the channel through tropical landscape was also a highlight. I enjoyed my stay.and would come again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sunset Tourist Home in Polonnaruwa. The host was incredibly helpful, making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable experience. The cozy atmosphere of the guesthouse, combined with the warm hospitality of our host, made our time in Polonnaruwa truly memorable. We highly recommend Sunset Tourist Home to anyone looking for a delightful place to stay with an outstanding host! Ask the host for the catamaran tour: a tour with a local fisherman to spot birds and eliphants (we saw them swimming). Breakfast and dinner are optional and are prepared by the host.

We had an excellent experience at Sunset Tourist Home. The pricing was reasonable, and the room surpassed expectations with its cleanliness and tidiness. Our stay was thoroughly enjoyable, and the owner's friendliness added to the positive experience. They provided valuable suggestions for places to visit in Polannaruwa. Highly recommended!

A great place! Host Amal is a great guy. Very communicative, friendly, helpful. His son Dilshara was also a great help to us; he cycled with us to show us a beautiful way to the Polonnaruwa Ancient City Museum. Be sure to have Auntie prepare you a meal, because that was the best home cooked diner we had during our stay in Sri Lanka.

“Host and food suberb”
Amal is a very friendly. modest and helpful host, who has lot of experience with (Dutch) tour groups. When I arrived he had arranged a wonderful boattrip on a lake where wild elephants could be spot and many kind of birds. He helped me to change money and offered a tour to Hurulu Park and Sigiriya for a very reasonable price. The food was really great, with every day new kind of dishes. The guest house is not too far from the museum where you buy your ticket for ancient Pollonuwara, in a rural peaceful area.
