    Great place to stay for a few days in Polonnaruwa, especially thanks to the very friendly and welcoming owners. The room is simple, but it has all you need, the food was absolutely delicious (both dinner and breakfast) and the owners even arranged a bike rental (the house is very close to all the major sights in Polonnaruwa) and a ride to safari park for us for very reasonable prices.

    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 👍🏻

    The guy from the hostel was so nice. He drove me to an ATM because I didn't have enough cash and he offered me a safari and a temple tour, I agreed to both of them and it was a great experience. I also asked for checking out later because I wanted to rest more and they had no problem. The dinner was really big and good

    Friendly staff and spotless room. The balcony looking out over the rice paddies was lovely. Rented bikes through them to tour the ancient city. Owner also arranged a eco-park afternoon safari with an excellent driver guide-we had a wonderful elephant experience. Breakfast and dinner were both worthwhile too.

    What a lush, well-cared for resort, between the gardens surrounding the lodge and the pool grounds. Very relaxing place, clean, good beds, loved their vegetable curry. Really benefited from their recommendations on guides to ancient sites, Chami is a young but passionate guide. Family running the resort is very sweet, attentive and helpful at every turn.

    The family is awesome and so kind. We also had our most tasty rice and curry cooked by the mother. If you want to see elephants, they have their own jeep for safari tour (fair price and possibility to get to remote area). Due to an emergency, they helped me to find a ride to Colombo in 30min and took care of my friend during her stay. Thank you again for everything ❤️
