Everything was great. Both cabins are very neat and clean and cozy with charming views on the lake. Dinner and breakfast were delightful. What makes it special is a fact that you can rent bikes and explore Polonnaruwa by yourself (or with the great host). There are many monkeys, birds and cows around. We slept like babies, no mosquitos.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Sanctuary Cove Guest House, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere, thanks in large part to the lovely couple who look after the place. Their hospitality was truly exceptional. They went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. They were always available to assist with any questions or requests I had, and their friendly demeanor made me feel right at home. I would highly recommend Sanctuary Cove Guest House to anyone looking for a wonderful place to stay with outstanding hospitality. I can't thank the couple enough for making my visit so memorable, and I look forward to returning in the future. This place is a true gem, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Unbeatable hospitality from the host. Kalum made us feel like part of the family and his mother is an excellent cook. We also went on a safari with them, which was an amazing experience with lots of up-close but respectful viewing of the animals without lots of other jeeps around (like in the bigger parks). I would recommend this place also for families!

Our host was amazing and helped us with everything. The food was super, and we've got way more than we could eat. The hotel is located right around the corner of the sacred city, and we rented bikes to explore it easily.

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.

Thisara Guest House is ideally placed nearby Polonnaruwa monuments. The hosts will provide bicycles which are very very useful. In addition, the dinner and breakfast are really a great must (Sri lankan specials absolutely delicious).

The family running the business is very kind and welcoming. The structure is relatively new and the common spaces are tidy. The view from the terrace used for breakfast is beautiful (looking onto rice fields). The breakfast is good, abundant and cheap.

Super hospitable hosts. High quality home cooking for breakfast and dinner. Quiet, clean and beautiful location closeby the entrance of the old city. The owners have arranged a jeep safari to Huluru Eco Park for our family of 4. We have enjoyed the experience; the guide Shiran was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, a smooth off-road driver and spoke good English! The owners also arranged bike rental for us, all smooth!

Lovely rustic cabin on the edge of one of the main lakes (tanks) of the island. Convenient for the local cultural ruins and the town. Charming and helpful host looked after us and provided an excellent breakfast. He even can provide bicycles to help you get around.

Great location, close to the lake and the museum (to get tickets for the ancient city). Our host offered a much needed beer on arrival after a long journey from Trincomalee. The mosquito net was very effective. After a huge breakfast we hired bikes from the host and toured the ancient city.
