The staff was extremely friendly and went out of their way to make sure I had a good stay. Unfortunately, it rained the afternoon I was there so didn’t get to enjoy the pool, but it looked great and well kept.

The owner is very kind and ready to help us feel comfortable. The place is very peaceful but not too far from the ruins. The room is very clean and has a big balcony. The wifi worked great. When we told the owner we had to leave very early at 6.30 am., he packed a simple breakfast for us. Very good value

I stayed at Lake Park Hotel for two nights, and it was a fantastic experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The food was excellent, and the boat ride organized by the hotel was a highlight—well worth the money! The rooms were comfortable and offered stunning views of the lake, making the stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

    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 EKHO Lake Hotel is the best place to stay in Polonnaruwa. It is full of charm and history and in a perfect location, right on the lake and next door to the Museum and entrance to the Ancient City, and from where you can walk or cycle. The rooms are very large and very comfortable, equipped with everything you could need. Meals at the restaurant are delicious and the staff very friendly and obliging.

    Undoubtedly one of the best places in Sri Lanka. We have been attended to at all times with the highest level of excellence. We saw elephants from our room, attended local dances where our daughter could participate, were taken fishing on the lake, and enjoyed some wonderful days. This hotel is A MUST near many of the cultural sites in the center where you can stay for several days. We will return.

    Convenient location near the clock tower in Polonnaruwa and the ancient area. The owner is very nice and helpful. I rent a bike from them. It's reasonably priced. The hotel is surrounded by rice fields. I saw a nice view from room windows and having breakfast in such an environment was particularly nice. The hotel looks new and very clean.

    The hotel needs refurbishment. The toilets needs to be redone completely. The rooms are very spacious. Although, there is a lovely view of the lake a veranda would have been brilliant. A good architect would have helped.
