Really welcoming host, the rooms were immaculate, great hot showers, clean bathrooms, one of our favourite stays in a 5 week trip around Sri Lanka. The location and the great field views made it a fantastic place to stay while exploring the temple/ruins. Set back from the main road so it was quiet at night too. The food was absolutely amazing - the breakfast was huge and brilliant value for money at $3 each, don't miss out on the fantastic coconut and honey pancakes. We ate dinner here both nights of our stay and the amazing flavours and generous portions were better than a lot we have seen in restaurants on our travels. The spiced chicken/rice with all the sri lankan side dishes we had was lovely! The host is always there without being intrusive, happy to help book things if needed or just have a chat. Would thoroughly recommend staying here!

I really enjoyed my stay, the room and bathroom facilities were very very clean and we had a great balcony where we enjoyed breakfast and dinner.

Staff was more than friendly and helpful. They helped us book a safari to a nearby Eco park for a very nice price and also gave us good advice on what to do in the Polonnaruwa ancient city. The pool was exceptionally clean and warm.

Perfect peaceful getaway! Sunrise Lake in Polonnaruwa is such a beautiful and relaxing place to stay. The view of the lake, especially during sunrise, is breathtaking so calm and peaceful. 🌅 The cabanas are clean and cozy, and the garden around is well kept. The owners are super friendly and treat you like family. Their homemade breakfast was delicious simple, fresh, and full of flavor. It’s a great spot to unwind, watch the birds, and enjoy nature. Highly recommend this place if you’re visiting Polonnaruwa worth every minute! ❤️

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

Very welcoming and friendly manager of a family-run resort that has been thought out really well. Beautiful, relaxing little park around the pool, with nice lighting at night. Our 2 days stay at this place was the most relaxing in our 4 weeks tour through Sri Lanka. Food is good, including breakfast buffet.

Wonderful family, a day early (according to tradition, a day before Singalese New Years Eve) they involved us in the lighting of fireworks, ‘to bring us back to our childhood’ as they said. The son also works as a guide and can answer any questions you have, speaks English very well.

First of all, I want to thank you for everything, you treated us as family. I can’t describe with words your hospitality, your generosity and your kindness. Thanks, on the other hand, to your friends who were so nice with us too. If you come to Spain, don’t hesitate to contact us, you have now some friends here! Wish you the best, you don’t deserve less.

Fantastic! We thoroughly enjoyed visiting with our family. We could not have felt more welcome and the evening meals were, in the children’s words, the ‘best in Sri Lanka’. We agree! Thank you so so much for a lovely two days.
