Once we left the crowded Colombo we arrived to this magical and relaxing place, surrounded by nature and a few minutes away from Polonnaruwa. The place, the room, the bath, the hospitality and the GREAT host that we had really made our visit worth it. He tooked care of us and for everything that we needed, giving us recommendations, sharing with us delicious meals, inspiring conversations and moments that will remain with us forever. Thank you again for all your kindness and hospitality. We promise to come back soon. Good luck and lots of love, Álvaro and Cris

Wonderful place to stay in Polonnaruwa that is like home, and everyone there like family. Comfy and full of warmth, the dinner and breakfast are also exceptional. Some of the best food I have tasted in Sri Lanka. A highlight of my trip and a place I will hope to visit again...

The hotel is the best located in the city, just on the lake perfect for mature lovers who will see plenty of birds and maybe some elephants if you are lucky. The hotel manager is extremely nice and ready to help you for anything you may need. Nice room directly on the lake and breakfast

We were really surprised by the quality of this hotel as it provides amazing value for money. The people are very nice, the rooms we stayed in were spacious, comfortable and very clean. We had dinner here, which was really good. Same holds for breakfast. Also the swimming pool is great! We spent only 1 night in the hotel as a stop on our journey from Trincomalee to Ella, so we can't evaluate the hotel's location, but it was in a quiet area and had all the facilities we were looking for.

    Half a day was enough as the sun was out and draining. At the last stop in Polonnaruwa where you have the temple there was a young man sketching and painting. There was also an older gentleman selling Neem & Jamun tree wood containers and tumblers for keeping water in the night and drinking in the morning Neem for better all over health & Jamun for decreasing blood sugar.

    The ancient city of Polonnaruwa has a lot to offer to the tourists who want to know about the history of Sri Lanka. It has so many ruins and monuments to view, and especially marvel at the stone crafting abilities of ancient Sri Lankans who have created so many buddhist states and artistic monuments by using rocks. Definitely a trip to add to your bucket list.

    The ancient ruins are a wonder to visit. Some great knowledgeable guides available. A few crooks about aggressively selling their Tuk Tuk and bicycle hire to be beware of. Our guide was sadly threatened and intimidated by these bullysome men.

    Ruins is one of the best experiences I have ever had. The staff is very nice. The food, the rooms are amazing. I invite all local and foreign people to come here and have fun. 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.

    The site seeing of historical places were the best. Most of the time we ate at the hotel and visited some locals and shared a meal with them. We hired a vehicle during the tour, This gave us the flexibility to get around. Net time I'll try to get there in the cooler months, mid December.

    We had an amazing stay in Polonnaruwa. Our host was very friendly, suggested some nearby restaurants to grab lunch at (which was delicious) and told us how to get to the Ancient City (where the Ticket Counter was and what route to take). He even offered to get us bicycles. After we had some problems with our bed, we could easily change rooms and he came by and checked if everything was okay. The Sri Lankan breakfast in the morning was also very tasty.

    Fantastic location in terms of close to Polonnaruwa archeological site - and actual hotel is next to lake - masses of bird life, and fishermen launch boats from adjacent “beach”. Staff super friendly and helpful. Nice pool with plenty of sun-loungers - in shade if required. Pleasant restaurant area - gigantic lobster-like prawn very tasty. Really good Sri Lankan breakfast - delicious. excellent value.

    A great place! Host Amal is a great guy. Very communicative, friendly, helpful. His son Dilshara was also a great help to us; he cycled with us to show us a beautiful way to the Polonnaruwa Ancient City Museum. Be sure to have Auntie prepare you a meal, because that was the best home cooked diner we had during our stay in Sri Lanka.
