Sudu Neluma Home StayForeigners Only features free WiFi throughout the property. Guests can use the kitchen at an additional charge.

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!!!

Offering a restaurant, Clay Hut Village is located in Polonnaruwa. It is 1 km from the ancient ruins of the Polonnaruwa City and the famous Polonnaruwa Canal. Free WiFi access is available in the public areas of the property.

This is a delightful place to stay. So many good aspects to consider: friendly and kind staff, delicious meals, quiet location not far from the sightseeing, ability to arrange excursions and onward journey, wildlife on property: monkeys, deer, birds…, laundry service, ability to call in craftsmen to display their wares. And the meals…they are soooo good. And..suggest you ask your host any questions you can think of about Sri Lanka…you will learn a lot from his straightforward answers.

    Our stay at Windy Villa was great! The host was more than welcoming and friendly! He told us all about the places we can visit and activities we can do while in Polonaruva. One of the best things about this place is that it has a washing machine, and that was more than needed on this trip! Oh, yes, the host also welcomed us with some cold beer in the fridge :)

    The owner of Ruins Villa personifies hospitality. The room was clean and spacious. The location is perfect following a tour through the ancient city, for which I was given a bike.
