Here’s the translation of your text into English: We were warmly welcomed by a woman who took great care of us from the beginning to the end of our stay. Our room was absolutely stunning, with a beautiful view of the garden, which is breathtaking! We enjoyed a delicious chicken curry for dinner and a traditional Sri Lankan breakfast in the morning. We even got to rent bikes to explore the ruins. I 100% recommend this hotel if you’re stopping in Polonnaruwa. Thank you for this amazing discovery!

Breakfasts served in accordance with customer expectations. The host, Carlos, is an extremely unique person who hosted me so wonderfully that I felt like I was on a movie scene. Even his dirty smock with a hole in it matched the look perfectly. Greetings to Caru!!! :)

great hosts who helped us with cycle hire for the ancient city and onward transport. The property is tucked away from the main road so is quiet but close to the ancient city entrance. Very reasonably priced for what you get.

The guest house is a great location, just down the road from the ancient city and I rented a bike to go and explore it. Food was amazing from the host, some of the best I had in Sri Lanka. I would definitely recommend a stay. Especially as a solo traveller it was a nice break for two nights.

Very cute, family run guest house close to the ruins. Lovely hosts, quiet, terrific breakfast (and dinner with much-needed beer upon request). Highly recommended.
