Our host was very accommodating, and our room was perfect with kettle for coffee/tea in the morning, a/c and a common area fridge to use. Our host loaned us bikes to do the ancient city which was great. Breakfasts in the morning, very good.

Everything here is exceptional! I've stayed at many guest houses, but this is by far the calmest and most peaceful place I've ever booked. The owner is very kind, friendly, and extremely helpful. The rooms are spotless, and the facilities are excellent for the price. It's also conveniently located close to Parakrama Samudra (just 1.8 km away). I truly enjoyed my freedom here, and this stay has become one of the most unforgettable journeys I've had. If you're looking for a budget-friendly place that is clean, calm, and comfortable, there's simply no better choice than this!

I loved my stay at Ruins Villa. The room is definitely minimal but I didn't really need anything i didn't have. It was spacious and clean. The owner is fantastic and a joy to speak with. He took me on an evening walk to see animals and we talked a lot about traveling. Its so close to the ruins! I used a bicycle and rode the entire park. The food is some of the best curry i had on my entire trip. I would definitely stay again.

The location is perfect, close to the entrance of the old city. Very friendly and helpful owner (and his family) who arranged bicycles and transport to the next destination for a reasonable price. Also great to talk with them about several issues. Very clean and well maintained rooms and outside area.

The room is basic and simple, but at the same time it has all the necessities. Possibility to cheaply rent bikes to visit the ancient city of Polonnaruwa and the owner Kalum is also a Safari guide. At first with my wife we weren't sure to do it or not because we were in a low-budget holiday, but then we decided to do it and it's worth absolutely every penny!! An amazing experience and impossible to describe it with words: you gotta do it to understand!! Super recommended 👍🏻

Location is perfect, very close to ancient city ticket office. Bus stops are within short distance as well. The room is very clean and fully functional, and the owners are extremely kind and caring, they will even provide a bicycle to visit surroundings. Look no further for your stay in Polonnaruwa.
