I felt home. It’s really value for money - especially for the family who runs it. Shanta and his wife did their best to make me feel welcome and taken care of - they are so kind and friendly. I also had dinner here and it was homemade and delicious. The room is simple but you have the basic conditions you need. The location is also good - even though it’s a bit far from the ruins, the way to it is by the lake, which makes up for it! Thank you very much!

Everything was great. Both cabins are very neat and clean and cozy with charming views on the lake. Dinner and breakfast were delightful. What makes it special is a fact that you can rent bikes and explore Polonnaruwa by yourself (or with the great host). There are many monkeys, birds and cows around. We slept like babies, no mosquitos.

The hospitality at this hostel was truly remarkable, with the owners' kindness shining brightly throughout the stay. Their attention to detail and genuine care created a warm and welcoming atmosphere that felt like a home away from home. The cleanliness of the place was unparalleled, ensuring a comfortable and spotless environment in every corner. The highlight, however, was the spacious room complete with a balcony that opened up to a breathtaking view of the jungle. The serene beauty of the lush greenery, combined with the peaceful ambiance, offered a unique and unforgettable experience. This hostel is a gem for those seeking comfort, cleanliness, and a touch of nature's majesty.

Nilusha and Ruwan were great hosts. We arrived late at night at the trainstation and they picked us up. They were very kind and helpful throughout our stay and arranged for bikes to rent. Nilusha cooks amazing dinner, so far the best meals we had! They also serve a very good sri lankan breakfast. Thank you very much, we really enjoyed our stay in Polonnaruwa.

Exceptional homestay which was private & quiet! Our family of 7 stayed 2 nights. Rooms were spacious, clean & beds comfy. We had meals that were great. Binara is kind & caring, organising medical help for one member. Cannot reccomend his homestay enough. Truly 5 star !! Binara organised boat trip to island on lake were we saw elephants

Nice, simple and very clean homestay, close to the ancient city. Possibility to rent a bike. I stayed only one night. Ravi the owner is very kind, humble and helpful, he even showed me around the lake with bicycles. And he always finds the solution;-)

Amazing hospitality, clean and relatively modern rooms, good food and great location for visiting Polonuwara archeological sites. Bicycles were available for a small fee and we went on a great elephant safari for half a day and saw lots of elephants, organised by the hosts👍 loved this place so can't praise enough. Been travelling Sri Lanka for over 4 weeks and this is definitely one of the better home stays you will find. Enjoy👍

Good facilities relative to price. Comfy bed, good sized bedroom. Good aircon. Breakfast/dinner was lovely, reasonably priced. Great hosts, who went out of their way to accommodate us. Including organising a tuktuk from bus stop to property, and bicycles for us to do the ancient city. Also helped us find a bus to leave!

The host family were super friendly, making the nice atmosphere in their homestay. The bathroom was very clean and pleasant, and the food that they serve for breakfast and dinner is just amazing. I was served like someone special. They are ready to help you with everything, you can rent a bike to go to the ancient city. This homestay is a little out of a town in a nice , quiet area. I enjoyed my stay there a lot and recommend this place.
