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.creation - 8.0Scored 8.0
The site seeing of historical places were the best.
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.

Lot of ancient locations and relics.
Lot of ancient locations and relics. Can gain much information about historical Polonnaruwa era of Sri Lanka. Spread is in close vicinity and can cover all areas even without a travel guide. My favourite places were Parakrama Samudraya, museum, King Parakramabahu's castle and office, Gal Viharaya, Thiwanka Pilima geya, Vatadage, Hetadage and Sathmahal Prasadaya. There are places to eat in Polonnaruwa new town (Very close by). We dined at NS Tomatoes where the service was good.AAnonymous - 10Scored 10

It's worth making the effort to see the far northern and far southern area too.... and don't forget to check out the back roads in the quadrangle group. The site is full of tourists, but almost nobody at the above mentioned places.

Polonnaruwa has impressive archeological and historic areas which are in good conditions despite of the years. The Minneriya National Park, the Dambulla cave temple and the Sigiriya Rock are also near and it makes Polonnaruwa a perfect base to visit all of them. We would strongly recommend to others.AAnonymousHungary - 8.0Scored 8.0
We stayed about 14km outside polonnaruwa on lake giritale.
We stayed about 14km outside polonnaruwa on lake giritale. We got a tuk tuk into town (1500 rupees) and hired bikes for the day (1000 rupees each). We found a cycle route online and followed that, which took us to all the main sites. It was hot but we had a great time. Stop for a drink at the EKO hotel on the lake- a great spot!

- From $16 per night8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 313 reviewsI had wonderful time hear for 3 days, regret I did not book longer, but had to move on. It is a hotel with 13 rooms, but it feels more like a homestay! Everyone , from the owner and his family to the staff were so friendly and helpful beyond expectations. Amazing hospitality. A place you want to go back to. Everyone seems to enjoy their work. The pools are great, taking great care of . Very clean. Thank you for a wonderful stay an help with renting bikes and bus transport. Hope to see you again😊
SVENDDenmark - From $29 per night9.7Scored 9.7ExceptionalRated exceptional· 33 reviewsThis is a delightful place to stay. So many good aspects to consider: friendly and kind staff, delicious meals, quiet location not far from the sightseeing, ability to arrange excursions and onward journey, wildlife on property: monkeys, deer, birds…, laundry service, ability to call in craftsmen to display their wares. And the meals…they are soooo good. And..suggest you ask your host any questions you can think of about Sri Lanka…you will learn a lot from his straightforward answers.

- From $10 per night7.7Scored 7.7GoodRated good· 290 reviewsit was a few minutes drive from polonnaruwa railway station. Owner of the property was very friendly. Sri lankan breakfirst with rice, coconut sambol, Dhal curry and fried egg was good meal to start the day. The cost is really lesser and satisfied with the service level for that much of amount spent. You can't expect air conditioning and hot water for that price range.GwtsrinathSri Lanka

We had great discussions about the country and got to learn more about Sri Lankan. Our host made us an amazing rice and curry and we went on a night walk to see wild animals. We have been able to rent great bikes to visite the temples. I really recommend!
