It was a very clean and beautiful accommodation. The garden has a mango tree and we even saw some monkeys. A few steps away is a local vegetable and fruit market, we enjoyed. Breakfast and dinner was amazing! It was cooked by the hosts. They even helped us to buy something we lost on our journey and what is very hard to get in this area of Sri Lanka. Additionally we got great sight seeing insides. This guest house was.perfect for us.

We had an amazing time here. The rooms are very spacious and clean. There's hot water to shower and food is amazing. One night we even had the chance to help and prepare our own meal the traditional way. Pick up and drop off at bus station are free. Very good service. At night you have an option to go for a walk to see some wildlife. Defo would recommend this place! The host speaks very clear english and really cares about his guests.

We loved the charm and character of the place, as well as its fantastic location on the lake. Great at sunrise and sunset. The pool was bracing, but fun with the kids after a morning cycling around temples or an afternoon safari.

We are a family from the UK who visited Sri Lanka for a holiday. While searching for a good apartment or villa near the temples and relics in the Polonnaruwa area, we came across this little gem. Pearl White was one of only two properties available for our chosen dates. At first, we were a bit hesitant to book, as it was a recently listed property with just two reviews, both from local visitors. However, I decided to reach out to the property, and I was able to connect directly with the owner, Sisira. He was kind enough to explain the facilities in detail and share valuable insights about the place. Our conversation gave us a very good understanding and helped build our confidence in choosing Pearl White over the other options. It turned out to be a fantastic decision! We thoroughly enjoyed our two-night stay and we booked the entire villa. The location is excellent, very close to the town centre and major heritage sites. The villa itself is spacious, cozy, and exceptionally clean from the beds and linen to the toilets. Everything was well-maintained. We found every little convenience available, from matchboxes and a lit barbecue to massage bathtubs. I highly recommend this property without any hesitation, and we would definitely love to return. Special thanks to Sisira for taking such good care of us and always being reachable via WhatsApp whenever we needed anything.

    We had a lovely stay at Tishan thanks to the wonderful staff. Excellent location away from the busy road but still very close to the ancient city of Pollonawura. The absolute highlight is the (disco)pool, which our kids thoroughly enjoyed. Good breakfast, four-star hotel-like service and nice rooms. We would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone.

Located outside the city, it is a quiet and pleasant place to stay. In all respects, Ruins is a beautiful hotel located in Polonnaruwa. I am thankful to all the employees including the management for helping to make my holiday beautiful.

    One of the best accomodation I stayed in Sri Lanka. The host is extremely helpful and organized a Safari for me. The room was clean and looked much better than I expected for that price. They allowed me to check in early and rent a bike for a cheap price to explore the ancient city. Would highly recommend!

    Everything ☺️ The staff are super helpful and don’t mind spending time to explain things and impart knowledge. We arrived after lunch time due to rain delays, and the manager made a plan for lunch without making us feel we were a bother. Delicious food 😋 and comfortable accommodation 👍🏻 A definite must stay when en route or even a few days to relax next to the pool. The garden is lush and tranquil 🌹🙏🏼
