Ruins is one of the best experiences I have ever had. The staff is very nice. The food, the rooms are amazing. I invite all local and foreign people to come here and have fun.

I am thankful to all the employees including the management for helping to make my holiday beautiful.

The site seeing of historical places were the best.
The site seeing of historical places were the best. Most of the time we ate at the hotel and visited some locals and shared a meal with them. We hired a vehicle during the tour, This gave us the flexibility to get around. Net time I'll try to get there in the cooler months, mid December.

Lot of ancient locations and relics.
Lot of ancient locations and relics. Can gain much information about historical Polonnaruwa era of Sri Lanka. Spread is in close vicinity and can cover all areas even without a travel guide. My favourite places were Parakrama Samudraya, museum, King Parakramabahu's castle and office, Gal Viharaya, Thiwanka Pilima geya, Vatadage, Hetadage and Sathmahal Prasadaya.
There are places to eat in Polonnaruwa new town (Very close by). We dined at NS Tomatoes where the service was good.

It's worth making the effort to see the far northern and far southern area too.... and don't forget to check out the back roads in the quadrangle group. The site is full of tourists, but almost nobody at the above mentioned places.

Polonnaruwa has impressive archeological and historic areas which are in good conditions despite of the years. The Minneriya National Park, the Dambulla cave temple and the Sigiriya Rock are also near and it makes Polonnaruwa a perfect base to visit all of them. We would strongly recommend to others.

We stayed about 14km outside polonnaruwa on lake giritale.
We stayed about 14km outside polonnaruwa on lake giritale. We got a tuk tuk into town (1500 rupees) and hired bikes for the day (1000 rupees each). We found a cycle route online and followed that, which took us to all the main sites. It was hot but we had a great time. Stop for a drink at the EKO hotel on the lake- a great spot!
Our room was extremely clean and that seems to be rare in Sri Lanka. There was no humidity marks at all in our room. The outside pool area is just so beautiful. The pool is super clean, went for a great swim. The property is surrounded by rice fields and has plenty of wildlife.The rooms are a little out dated but thats ok since everything else is great and clean. Plenty of workers trimming plants and cleaning property. Breakfast buffet also was great. Definitely recommend if you are in the area.
The owners were definitely the best part about this property. They are so sweet and caring, like a mother and father away from home. The food is also very good! If you are a real traveler, the kind that wants to experience actual culture; the people, food, and local environment, then this is a wonderful homestay. Embrace Sri Lankan culture; eat the food, hang with the locals, and pay in rupees! What a great experience. I highly recommend this place.
The hotel is a nice mix of old and new, we loved the victorian style and everything looked so elegant, also everything worked well, there was A/C, a plug right next to the night stand. It was such a beautiful and peaceful place. Food was fantastic, hotel staff very friendly. I loved the fact that they had refillable containers for shampoo and conditioner. The location is perfect if you want to go to the ancient city.
The hotel has an excellent location and staff, an amazing rice field in front of our room, and the hotel look awesome everything is nature friendly. Just 10min away from the ancient city.
The Owner takes care of everything in the hotel and serves the food which is one of the best I’ve eaten in Sri Lanka, they prepared so yummy Srilankan rice and curry and the owner solve any problem, many thanks to him and his team
The family was wonderful. They served me a welcome tea and were not too shy to talk to me. They gave me tips and showed me the area around.
The breakfast was good and the dinner even better. Traditional Sri Lankan food. :)
The location is perfekt. Near the lake so you can make a walk watching the sundown. The Museum is only 5 minutes from the hotel.
It felt nearly like home in Thisal Guest House.
Very nice location by the lake. beautiful sunset and nature you can see from your room window. Hotel is doing some maintenance and repair works as it was closed due to pandemic. Generally with available facilities still you can spend your holiday. Walking distance to ancient city of Polonnaruwa. Staff is very friendly and specially Mr. Sarath was very supportive throughout our stay.
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.
The hotel s ambiance was inviting and the staff's genuine hospitality stood out. Every interaction felt personalized, making my stay truly special. I especially loved the room. It's really worth the price.. There is a great Swimming Pool here. The location is fantastic, just a 10min drive to Polonnaruwa town. The breakfast spread was also delightful.
A delightful place to stay for a quiet and restful visit to Polonnaruwa. The view across the Lake is beautiful. Our room was huge and very comfortable, and the staff were really helpful. We spent two days exploring the ancient city by bicycle, which was great fun and very convenient from the hotel (and we were grateful to borrow umbrellas!).
Everything exceeded my expectations. The food was delicious. The rooms were clean,comfortable. The staff were really friendly. The property was very safe. The hotel and its surroundings were beautiful and very peaceful. The safari,camping and kayak riding was incredible. I would highly recommend sunset tourist hotel to anyone.
Our stay at Hotel Anaulundawa was exceptional, with special mention to the outstanding service by Nimal. The rooms were spacious and spotlessly clean. The breakfast was delightful, featuring excellent fruit choices. Ample parking space and a tranquil location added to the overall charm. Highly recommend!
The rooms are really comfortable and the view on the lake is priceless. We have seen so many different animals walking through the garden during our stay. The pool is nice, the staff is awesome and the food was great. Can really recommend this place when you are staying in Polonnaruwa
I recommend this hotel to all nature lovers. A lot of birds and animals around! Lost place for travelers who want a different experience. Not for luxury seekers but for adventure lovers. Amazing sunset! For us much better option then stay in the city! Helpful people around!
Everything was perfect and exceptional. Food, hospitality, cleanliness , facilities, view from the room, garden were exceptional.Though this hotel has 4star in rating all the 5 star facilities were there. Bed was very comfortable. I would like to stay there again soon.
This hotel was ok, room was nothing special but fine, and the bathroom was clean with a nice shower and hot water (not a given in Sri Lanka)! It does have a nice lake view.
