The staff was super kind and helpful. Breakfast was amazing, the best breakfast we had in Sri Lanka, the location was perfect, close to the UNESCO sites.

When I was choosing a place to stay on Booking.com, I looked at reviews from people who had stayed there. And I wasn't wrong. These were my most wonderful days on the island of Sri Lanka, as the host was very friendly and responsive. He helped me with all my questions. The room was my temporary wonderful home. The breakfasts were hearty and delicious. Everything was so perfect that I didn't even want to leave, as if I were staying with old good friends. I will definitely return and recommend this guesthouse to everyone with all my heart. Thank you very much to the hosts for their hospitality and kindness.🥰❤️

Lovely guesthouse in a quiet yet central area of the town, close to the UNESCO Site. The staff is very friendly, the room is comfortable, nice and clean, and breakfast is delicious! Highly recommended!

The owner was very kind and super helpful. I really loved the breakfast. It was enough for dinner too. The double bed was great and it had mosquito net on.

“Great location”

Lovely, hard working owner of this Homestay. It is located in what seems a very rural area with lots of wildlife. An easy walk from the bus stop and very close to the entrance of the historic site.

Very warm welcome. The host is super cool, he made us feel comfortable in his establishment. Ravi took the time to inform us about our itinerary before we left the hotel. The breakfasts were very good and plentiful. We recommend this hotel!

“Highly recommended for on-the-budget travellers looking for authentic and relaxing Homestay”

I had a wonderful stay at this Homestay! It’s a perfect choice for budget travelers looking for a clean, comfortable, and welcoming place. The family atmosphere created by the host and his lovely mother makes you feel at home from the moment you arrive. One of the highlights was the delicious Sri Lankan breakfast—fresh, flavorful, and a great way to start the day. The Wi-Fi worked perfectly, which was a big plus. The host strikes the perfect balance between giving you space and being incredibly helpful whenever needed.

It is located really close to the ancient town and to a beautiful lake where you can watch the sunset. The host is incredibly friendly and helps you with everything. The breakfast with the fresh fruit was exceptional. I would always come back.

“A second Home in Polorannuwa”

I can't recommend Villa Ravichini Homestay enough! The place is fantastic. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom nice with good water pressure, and the breakfast was delicious. But what truly sets this homestay apart is Ravi. He's the heart and soul of the place — so patient, kind, and helpful. Despite the heavy rain on my arrival, he suggested a safari to the Eco Park nearby, where we saw many elephants and plenty of birds. Shiran, our driver, was great too — knowledgeable and respectful of animals and of nature! Ravi also made amazing tea, rented me a bike, and even took me to the Shivaratri Festival at the ancient temples. If you're in Polonnaruwa, stay at Villa Ravichini.

Wow, what a hidden gem! Comfortable, clean rooms and an incredible breakfast, by far the best I’ve had in Sri Lanka! Ravi is the most genuinely kind host and goes above and beyond to help you during your stay, nothing is too much! I seriously couldn’t recommend this place enough :)

From the beginning the communication between us worked very well. Ravi always tried to do his best to help me reaching his place etc. The accommodation is located directly at the edge of the rice fields. Ravi Immediately arranged a bike and we went off to the laundry whose work was not satisfying. Dinner and breakfast prepared by Ravi were very delicious and, with a lot of variety, especially the breakfast. Thx so much ravi
