Everything ☺️ The staff are super helpful and don’t mind spending time to explain things and impart knowledge. We arrived after lunch time due to rain delays, and the manager made a plan for lunch without making us feel we were a bother. Delicious food 😋 and comfortable accommodation 👍🏻 A definite must stay when en route or even a few days to relax next to the pool. The garden is lush and tranquil 🌹🙏🏼

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...

We most liked that the owner is so passionate about his resort. He loved to show us around in his beautifull garden and everything in the resort is thought of and well functioning. The sister of the owner is an excellent cook and she makes a great Sri Lankan breakfast. Each day a bit different but always delicious and plentifull. Same holds for the optional dinner. Owner also has good deals and friendly and knowledgeable friends for excursions to the temples and Sigiriya and safari. We left to see other places but actually we didn't want to leave this little paradise.

I loved everything 🙂 the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, they treat you like family. They prepared amazing breakfast and dinner, always asking my preferences. They also arranged for a tuk tuk tour to the ruins and the driver was very kind. The facilities are beautiful, quiet, clean, and very comfortable. I want to come back!!!!!!

The owners are the most lovely and kindhearted poeple, they are caring and we had an interesting conversation about their lifes and family. Edna cooked outstanding curry for us, don't miss out on the opportunity to have dinner there! The hotel itself is neat and comfortable and it's a more quiet hideaway. The pool was a real blessing after our tour trough the ancient city on an extremely hot day. We also rented bikes at a good price for exploring the neighborhood.

    Half a day was enough as the sun was out and draining.

    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.

    The guest house is incredible. A beautiful property, but above all, it has a stunning view over the rice fields. Unfortunately, I only spent one night there, but I wish I could have stayed longer. The owner was extremely kind: she welcomed me with her best room and a delicious hot tea, helped me organize my day in Polonnaruwa, and treated me to an amazing Sri Lankan dinner that perfectly suited my taste! Overall, the rooms are clean and simple, and the location of the guest house is perfect.

The location is exceptionally beautiful and tranquil. The room was superb, the bed incredibly comfortable and the food top class. Everything was taken care of for us by the fabulously professional manager and his team. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
