Our host was very nice and helpful. He arranged the rental of bicycles to visit the temple, he gave us information to take the bus and good advice to find local restaurants. The location is very convenient, close to shops, restaurants and now far from the temples. The room was very clean and quiet. We thank you for the very nice stay :)

Binara and his wife are perfect hosts, I felt fully supported and safe with them. I loved their home cooked meals! The accommodation with a peaceful environment, huge garden is enchanting, quiet, comfortable also close to the ancient ruins and the magical lake. Boat tour on the lake by Nimal is highly recommended, one of my best experience here in Sri Lanka.

Staying at Aruna Home Stay in Polonnaruwa was by far the best experience I had with local people during my trip in Sri Lanka. Mom and daughter were incredibly kind, always smiling, and genuinely helpful, making me feel like part of their family from the very first moment. The room was simple but very clean and comfortable, with everything I needed for a pleasant stay. What really made the difference was the warm hospitality: sharing meals, stories, and local advice gave me the chance to experience authentic Sri Lankan culture in a way that no hotel could offer. The location is also great, close to the ancient city and easy to reach by bike or tuk-tuk. Breakfast and dinner prepared at the homestay were delicious, with fresh and traditional dishes full of flavor. Positive points: The warmest and most genuine hospitality Hosts always smiling, kind, and helpful Delicious homemade meals Clean and comfortable room Great location near Polonnaruwa ancient city

I only had one night here but I loved this place. I was given a welcome drink, the room was spotlessly clean, the shower was fantastic, the TV worked, and the bed and pillow were the most comfortable I've had in Sri Lanka. Amazing value for money.

I got to spend a day at green garden homestay with very good care. I am very happy about it. The food and room facilities were very good. I got to experience a very free environment specially with a canal. Nilu worked very closely with us. I am thankful for that. The jeep safari was also very good. I also liked the boat safari very much. The breakfast and dinner were delicious. A very good, loving and strong woman. I recommend everyone to come and enjoy your free time.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Sanctuary Cove Guest House, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere, thanks in large part to the lovely couple who look after the place. Their hospitality was truly exceptional. They went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. They were always available to assist with any questions or requests I had, and their friendly demeanor made me feel right at home. I would highly recommend Sanctuary Cove Guest House to anyone looking for a wonderful place to stay with outstanding hospitality. I can't thank the couple enough for making my visit so memorable, and I look forward to returning in the future. This place is a true gem, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Nilusha and Ruwan were great hosts. We arrived late at night at the trainstation and they picked us up. They were very kind and helpful throughout our stay and arranged for bikes to rent. Nilusha cooks amazing dinner, so far the best meals we had! They also serve a very good sri lankan breakfast. Thank you very much, we really enjoyed our stay in Polonnaruwa.

Amazing hospitality, clean and relatively modern rooms, good food and great location for visiting Polonuwara archeological sites. Bicycles were available for a small fee and we went on a great elephant safari for half a day and saw lots of elephants, organised by the hosts👍 loved this place so can't praise enough. Been travelling Sri Lanka for over 4 weeks and this is definitely one of the better home stays you will find. Enjoy👍

Good facilities relative to price. Comfy bed, good sized bedroom. Good aircon. Breakfast/dinner was lovely, reasonably priced. Great hosts, who went out of their way to accommodate us. Including organising a tuktuk from bus stop to property, and bicycles for us to do the ancient city. Also helped us find a bus to leave!

The host family were super friendly, making the nice atmosphere in their homestay. The bathroom was very clean and pleasant, and the food that they serve for breakfast and dinner is just amazing. I was served like someone special. They are ready to help you with everything, you can rent a bike to go to the ancient city. This homestay is a little out of a town in a nice , quiet area. I enjoyed my stay there a lot and recommend this place.
