Best place to stay in Polonnaruwa according to me. The house is in the nature and very close to the temples. We had great discussions about the country and got to learn more about Sri Lankan. Our host made us an amazing rice and curry and we went on a night walk to see wild animals. We have been able to rent great bikes to visite the temples. I really recommend!

This place is made with love, this is a real home outside of your own home, where you are a valued guest. when you meet the host, you’d definitely like to stay more. The room is the same as on the photos, Wi-Fi connection was good. The wild life around the property is great - we have seen deers, fireflies, monkeys, lizards, birds and their nest. In the evening we enjoyed the talks about everything with our host as he is a great companion. the special thanks to home made breakfast and dinner!!! During the dinner the first time I found the difference between spicy (when it is about taste of different spices) and enjoyed it vs spicy that I tried before and it was only about a fire in your mouth). I would really wish this place to flourish and attract new guests. Whenever I need a time for myself in nature I will definitely come back here again!

HOT SHOWERS! this place was great for so many reasons - hot showers, super kind host, surrounded by nature (host took us on a night walk around the property to see animals), great wifi, delicious food, cold beer, clean room, bicycle hire, great value for money, located at the exit point of the ruins so it’s really convenient after a long day of wandering around the ruins to just pop out at the end and be at the accommodation.

The stay in was wonderful. The room was spacious, clean. The home is located just next to the ancient site, it wii tak you 5 nins to get there on your way back home. The owner of the place helped me a lot during stay, always friendly and smiling. I would definitely recommend this place for the travellers, you will feel at home.

First of all, I'd really like to thank the host for his welcome and kindness! The guesthouse is located in a really calm area which is surrounded by nature and wildlife. The room was very spacious and clean, as was the bathroom. I was able to eat there in the evening and the meals were varied and excellent! I also enjoyed the breakfast! The host is always here when needed and takes great care of his guests. He offered night walks to see the wild animals in the area. We were also treated to a tour of the rice fields and a tasting of a fresh coconut harvested in front of us! He takes the time to chat with the guests, which is really nice! I learned a lot thanks to him :) I can't recommend staying at Ruins Villa enough!

Ruins Villa is a great place to stay at! The host is welcoming and keen to help. He is passionate and knowledgeable about animals and will enjoy taking you for a night walk around to see some! The place is really nice with a garden and a pond. A good location to explore the historical site. Enjoyed my time there!

Ruins Villa is conveniently located in the jungle, near historical sites and close to a river. Dream location! Great room and bathroom very nice and very clean, good breakfast and dinner too ! The owner is a quality person who gives the best of himself for his customers. He shares his knowledge of plants, wildlife and takes you to see wild animals around his home. He knows exceptional places to go too !
