I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The surrounding nature is absolutely beautiful and made for such a relaxing atmosphere. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, I felt at home right away. The location is perfect, just a short distance from the ancient city, which made exploring easy and enjoyable. Ideal for a peaceful solo retreat!

Really welcoming host, the rooms were immaculate, great hot showers, clean bathrooms, one of our favourite stays in a 5 week trip around Sri Lanka. The location and the great field views made it a fantastic place to stay while exploring the temple/ruins. Set back from the main road so it was quiet at night too. The food was absolutely amazing - the breakfast was huge and brilliant value for money at $3 each, don't miss out on the fantastic coconut and honey pancakes. We ate dinner here both nights of our stay and the amazing flavours and generous portions were better than a lot we have seen in restaurants on our travels. The spiced chicken/rice with all the sri lankan side dishes we had was lovely! The host is always there without being intrusive, happy to help book things if needed or just have a chat. Would thoroughly recommend staying here!

A wonderful place - spotlessly clean, beautifully landscaped with lovely plants. Spacious, comfortable room - plenty of hot water for showers, good wifi and a wide terrace. Chairs and loungers around the pool and in the garden, which also has hammocks. Lounge area in the dining room looks out into the gardens - all very peaceful. The food was classic Sri Lankan - breakfast was huge and very tasty, the rice and curry was excellent - 12+ delicious small veg dishes with rice and poppadoms to accompany the curry, or there were alternative dishes along with desserts and fresh juices. Staff were really lovely, helpful and good to talk to. Some way out of town, but such a nice place we didn't want to move, and when we needed it was easy to get TukTuk to the archaeological sites, train station etc.

Staying at Aruna Home Stay in Polonnaruwa was by far the best experience I had with local people during my trip in Sri Lanka. Mom and daughter were incredibly kind, always smiling, and genuinely helpful, making me feel like part of their family from the very first moment. The room was simple but very clean and comfortable, with everything I needed for a pleasant stay. What really made the difference was the warm hospitality: sharing meals, stories, and local advice gave me the chance to experience authentic Sri Lankan culture in a way that no hotel could offer. The location is also great, close to the ancient city and easy to reach by bike or tuk-tuk. Breakfast and dinner prepared at the homestay were delicious, with fresh and traditional dishes full of flavor. Positive points: The warmest and most genuine hospitality Hosts always smiling, kind, and helpful Delicious homemade meals Clean and comfortable room Great location near Polonnaruwa ancient city

Sahan Guest House was an awesome find! The welcome was warm and genuine — I was even greeted with a refreshing welcome drink, which was a great touch after a long trip. The room was super clean, air-conditioned, and really comfortable. WiFi was fast and reliable, which was perfect for planning my day trips and staying connected. The location is perfect — right in the city, close to everything, and just a short ride to the ancient city. Super convenient if you’re exploring the cultural sites nearby. There’s also fast food and other restaurants nearby if you’re craving a quick bite. Honestly, the hospitality here is top-notch. Sahan and the team really care about their guests. I felt safe, relaxed, and very well taken care of. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!🍹🇻🇳

nice and quite place, close to the center, the owner is so helpful and easy to reach and provided us a tuktuk with the driver who's very nice too. We had a great time with the owner who is also a guide who took us to the boat safari and authentic sri lankan dinner. It was a great experience.

    Very welcoming and friendly manager of a family-run resort that has been thought out really well. Beautiful, relaxing little park around the pool, with nice lighting at night. Our 2 days stay at this place was the most relaxing in our 4 weeks tour through Sri Lanka. Food is good, including breakfast buffet.

    First of all, I want to thank you for everything, you treated us as family. I can’t describe with words your hospitality, your generosity and your kindness. Thanks, on the other hand, to your friends who were so nice with us too. If you come to Spain, don’t hesitate to contact us, you have now some friends here! Wish you the best, you don’t deserve less.
