- a/c and fan is in the room - clean bedroom and toilet - beautiful garden and view - comfortable bed - quiet place - cute cat - you can request lunch and dinner if you like - beautiful and designed building - nearby the Potgul temple (1km away) In overall we really loved the place 10/10. Even though there wasn't wifi (recommend getting a sim card at the airport). Breakfast is simple but for the price of stay it is really good value! I can highly recommend this place!

Hotel Siyathma in Polonnaruwa proved to be an excellent choice for our recent trip. The hotel's prime location made exploring the ancient city incredibly convenient. The major viewpoints were just a short distance away, allowing us ample time to immerse ourselves in the rich history and beauty of Polonnaruwa. The hospitality extended by the hotel staff was truly commendable. They were friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Their warm welcome made us feel right at home. One of the highlights of our stay was undoubtedly the delicious food served at the hotel. From breakfast to dinner, every meal was a culinary delight. The flavors were authentic and the portions were generous. It was clear that great care was taken in preparing each dish. Overall, our experience at Hotel Siyathma was exceptional. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Polonnaruwa.

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!

Staff are fantastic and treated me like royalty - doing everything to make my stay happy and relaxing. They even organized transport and day trip to Sigirya for me. Lots of great local advice, beautiful property and gardens to good for Solo travellers or family. Awesome food as well - I can totally recommend this as a great place to stay - I don't want to leave, and will definitely come back!

From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The space was spotless, incredibly cozy, and thoughtfully arranged. The host went above and beyond—so kind, respectful, and genuinely welcoming. The morning breakfast was a real treat, full of flavor and perfectly prepared. Without a doubt, this was one of the most memorable and enjoyable stays we’ve ever had.

Lovely clean rooms and friendly staff who went beyond expectations. The environment was peaceful and calm. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious; and the pool sparkling clean and refreshing after a day out sightseeing. They even treated us to some extra treats in the evening while enjoying a drink in the dining room. Great value for money and would return again.

Amazing, smaller national park.

Amazing, smaller national park. More of a wild, intimate experience than it's massively over subscribed cousins. We were in very close contact with a family of elephants, (including baby) for at least 20 mins before another jeep arrived, and then it was only just the two vehicles.

I want to stay a bit longer there, as the place is naturally very peaceful. On the way, we stopped at a restaurant near a lake, which is also a good place to touch the nature. Luckily, we saw a wild elephant wandering in the lake from that place. On the way back from Minneyriya, we saw two wild elephants who were trying to cross the road. Lovely to see them from the car. A person who loves to see elephants should go Minneriya.

This is a far better place to stay due to the quality of the resort than in Polonnaruwa. A guest could stay here for many days as the ground are huge and relaxing. Pool and spa are kept spotless by a dedicated person that has been doing ot proudly for over 21 years.

Sites are interesting. We walked from the museum ticket office through the sites and out to the exit. Not difficult and you can more easily get to the sites away from the road and these were the quietest and most atmospheric.

Lovely national park, clean, quiet compared to other parks in Sri Lanka. Fairly priced entrance fee, guide joins you on the jeep, but optional to tip them. Ours was superb and pointed out many things we would have missed otherwise.

Devi Tourist Home

Devi Tourist Home Devi s Tourist Home Fantastic stay with Doreena and her husband who were the warmest and most generous hosts. Many travellers choose to visit Polonnaruwa as a day trip from Sigiriya but we were so pleased after a long hot day at the site to stay locally at Devi ‘ s Tourist Home. The room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable with the air conditioning. We were able to take a tuk tuk to a nearby hotel on the lakeside for sunset cocktails in the most beautiful and peaceful setting.Back at Devi s she cooked us a delicious dinner of typical Sri Lankan curries ( better and more generous than a restaurant!) Breakfast was also very good with fresh coffee, fruits and eggs.After checking out, we very much enjoyed a visit to Doreena’s family craft shop where her husband demonstrated how they use natural dyes and we purchased quite unique souvenirs (wine goblets and teacups made from coconut shells-beautiful and we didn’t see anywhere else)at very reasonable prices.The shop is called Hashan Carved and Craft in Polonnaruwa.The whole experience was wonderful and all incredibly good value. Highly recommended!
