Search lodges in Polonnaruwa District

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

Rivonway is our perfect stay in Sri Lanka, Paddy field View is amazing and hotel situated in easy access to city & other activities. They arranged nice safari for us, Their fresh foods are awesome, breakfast and dinner are very big, so many varieties both western & Srilankan. Sachin is Superb, who speaking very good english. Very beautiful, quite, calm place & clean deluxe rooms with glass walls, Private balcony, Highly recommend for long stays, large groups and all.

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.

The small basic cabin is in a lovely location on the edge of the lake. Would recommend the boat safari which was a fabulous experience. We were lucky to have a close encounter with an elephant!

The view from the bedroom was over the lake and absolutely beautiful. The swimming pool was an added bonus and kept really clean. Staff were really helpful. Food on offer was varied, the quality good and fairly priced. Room was a good size and comfortably furnished. They organised a safari at Wasgamuwa National Park for us, with collection from the hotel. This was outstanding in terms of the park, the guide, the driver and the animals we were able to see. (Recommend doing an afternoon safari as you see more).

Like the title says this is a good budget stay. You have everything that you need, it is very close to the archaeological site, the food is delicious and in large quantities , and most importantly the owner and his mother treat you like family. I really enjoyed my time there as a solo traveller, they are very kind. The owner also has a jeep for safari.

Feel like part of the family from when you arrive with a drink being offered. Food served is plentiful and real home cooked food. Hired a bike to get around which was good. Safari trips available which I did do and is worth it to see elephants, peacocks, eagles, crocs and lots of birds in their own habitats.

This is a great place if you want to do a safari in the less developed Wasgamuwa national park. It is very secluded and peaceful. Breakfast was great.

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 ❤️
