The place is really nice and the owners are great. I was on the line with them all the time so they helped me reach their place. Their place is around 3km from the ancient city. They have bicycles for a small fee. The road next to the lake is amazing. I loved it. The room was spacious and cozy, hot water was available. You can get AC for an extra charge but I think a fan is enough. The food mom cooks is very delicious. I had dinner and breakfast with them. They were there to help me with everything and give me information about my sightseeing. I def recommend this place!!!

I was very happy staying at the Lake Cabin. Everything was excellent. Waking up early to the sounds of birds, sitting on the balcony to watch the sunrise, eating breakfast, and watching fishermen on the lake. Perfect!!! I felt relaxed and enjoyed every minute.

The guest house is off the main road situated right behind a vast rice paddy. There are monkeys and beautiful white birds everywhere. It's so peaceful at night and in the morning. The bed was very comfortable and the room was quite large. The bathroom was also large and everything was very clean. Also, the breakfast and dinner is fantastic. They also have the cutest dog in the whole world named Pepsi!

This place is perfect for anyone who loves peace, cleanliness, and good value for money. The rooms are very clean, with a light and pleasant smell—not too strong like in some other places. The homemade food is so tasty and healthy, making it the best choice in Polonnaruwa. We searched many places for good, healthy homemade food but couldn’t find one as good as this. The owners are very friendly and welcoming, making the stay even better. Highly recommended, especially for couples and families looking for a calm and relaxing place. Today we're booking this place for the second time👌

The host, Nishanthi, was absolutely amazing. From the moment we stepped into the homestay we felt welcome. She prepared us an amazing breakfast every morning and an incredible dinner, showing us how it was made from her kitchen.

Beautiful, spacious room with AC available for a small additional cost which was very welcome in the humidity! Lovely host family who arranged us transportation from our previous location and dropped us at the bus stop too for our onward journey. We explored the ruins on bicycles you can rent from the property and we had delicious dinner and breakfast. Would 10/10 stay here again.

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.
