We stayed here for just a night stopping in to see the ruins in April. The family who owns it is very friendly and accommodating. It does kind of feel like you’re spending the night at someone’s house, rather than a guesthouse, especially if there aren’t many guests there. The food is okay. The fan room on the far right...

We stayed here for one night whilst backpacking through Sri Lanka! It was great for what we needed- a cheap, basic place to stay after a long trip to sigiriya rock and polonnaruwa. The hosts are very friendly and welcoming and the rooms were clean. There are quite a few Mosquitos in the area so don't forget your deet! In... More

We stayed here for one night during a six day tour of Sri Lanka. We were warmly welcomed, the accommodation was basic, but clean and functional. The food was excellent and being a little further out of town made the setting calm and peaceful, would recommend.

The place is out of the center so it's very calm. You can order dinner, which is a good thing if you don't want to go out after a long day and it's cheap. Room is OK but there was so many mosquitoes, had not seen so many in my whole trip. We used the A/C as you can't breathe... More

We booked the best room here, room 4, there are five in total. The cost was 4000 rupees without breakfast. I noticed a smell of insect pesticide when we went to the room but didn't think about why it might be there. The room itself was bright modern and clean however things went downhill after this. During the first night... More

In Polonnaruwa, it is quite difficult to find cheap, good place to stay, So, I can recommend this tourist home with good rooms with clean bathrooms. Peaceful environment. The room charge also very cheap.

Only around five rooms, on a quiet street. Rooms are very clean, and vary in size, and availability of a/c. Family is very friendly, and willing to help. Dinner with the other guests was a highlight, with very good Sri Lankan food, and great atmosphere.

It must be said that the rooms are modern, spacious and clean although it's a little far from the centre if you're on foot. What I really didn't like was the 'hotel' like experience. The lady owner was very cold, it didn't feel at all like a guesthouse, since we didn't see any of the family members, and we didn't... More

The worst guesthouse ever! The water pressure was low and there were frogs going out of the toilet :-(. The service was also not friendly at all.

We stayed here for a single day in February 2012 and the rooms were very basic but clean. The owners are nice and friendly people and that was definitely one of the strong points. However, bathrooms were tiny (although clean) and some of us did hit our heads. We had two rooms, one double and the other triple. We eventually... More
