Nice air-conditioned apartments in a beautiful shady garden. The apartments are located close to the sights, the lake and shops, but far enough from the busy main street. The host was very attentive and willing to help us with anything and completely arranged a safari for us, including transportation. He also lent us bikes, which we used to ride around the lake one day and the next day to ride through the historical ruins. We spent 3 nights in the villa and it was a wonderful experience that we highly recommend to everyone.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Sanctuary Cove Guest House, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere, thanks in large part to the lovely couple who look after the place. Their hospitality was truly exceptional. They went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. They were always available to assist with any questions or requests I had, and their friendly demeanor made me feel right at home. I would highly recommend Sanctuary Cove Guest House to anyone looking for a wonderful place to stay with outstanding hospitality. I can't thank the couple enough for making my visit so memorable, and I look forward to returning in the future. This place is a true gem, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

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.

The host was really nice and gave a lot of helpful recommendations. I rented a bicycle to explore the ancient city. It is possible to get dinner here and I would definetly recommend doing so, as the mother of the host is an amazing cook. They also offer Safari tours. Overall I had a great stay here and would recommend it to anyone visiting Pollonaruwa

The rooms were very comfortable, it was clean and it was at a great price. But above all, the hosts were amazing. The rice and curry was the best I tried in Sri Lanka, and the cooking class we had was incredible.
