    Half a day was enough as the sun was out and draining.

    Half a day was enough as the sun was out and draining. At the last stop in Polonnaruwa where you have the temple there was a young man sketching and painting. There was also an older gentleman selling Neem & Jamun tree wood containers and tumblers for keeping water in the night and drinking in the morning Neem for better all over health & Jamun for decreasing blood sugar.

    The ancient city of Polonnaruwa has a lot to offer to the tourists who want to know about the history of Sri Lanka. It has so many ruins and monuments to view, and especially marvel at the stone crafting abilities of ancient Sri Lankans who have created so many buddhist states and artistic monuments by using rocks. Definitely a trip to add to your bucket list.

    The ancient ruins are a wonder to visit.

    The ancient ruins are a wonder to visit. Some great knowledgeable guides available. A few crooks about aggressively selling their Tuk Tuk and bicycle hire to be beware of. Our guide was sadly threatened and intimidated by these bullysome men.

    We were very impressed with the ruins of the ancient city. And we were stunned by the sophistication and scale of this long ago kingdom. The Technology Museum was also superb. We think everyone should go to Polannaruwa.

    Ruins is one of the best experiences I have ever had.

    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. Located outside the city, it is a quiet and pleasant place to stay. In all respects, Ruins is a beautiful hotel located in Polonnaruwa. 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. 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.

    The garden of the hotel is exceptional, there are so many beautiful flowers & you’ll see chipmunks and lots of beautiful birds around. The pool is just amazing and you can hang literally (!) between the palm trees. The dinner (curry) and breakfast are just exceptional. You won’t be hungry for a long time! We booked the Polonnaruwa tempel 4 hour tour with an English guide and tuktuk, which we can highly recommend. The manager and his family are all super friendly and helpful in case of questions for next steps of your travel

    One of the highlights of our whole trip! Opali and his family are pretty much the nicest, most welcoming people we ever met. Food was amazing and the room very spacious. We had great talks and Opali told us a lot about his life and Sri Lankas situation. He even did a night walk with us where we saw lots of animals. Also, the place is perfectly located if you want to visit the ancient city, you can even rent bikes directly at the house. In Polonnaruwa I would go there again any time. Highly recommended!!

    We very much enjoyed our home stay in polonnaruwa at aruna homestay. The bedroom and bathroom were very clean and the beds so comfortable. The traditional dinner and breakfast we received were super delicious (hari rasayi:)). What really made this stay special, though, was the genuine warmth and generosity of the hosts. They made us feel not just like guests, but treated us like friends. Thanks again to the whole family, you've made our sri lankan trip memorable!<3

    The owners were very nice and organized bicycles for us upon our arrival. The hotel is situated in an excellent location very close to the ruins and close to some restaurants. Rooms were clean, breakfast very good. Overall very good experience for very little money. We payed 4 times more in other places in Sri Lanka for worse conditions than in Man Guest. I can recommend this place to everyone.
