"Binara Home Stay に到着した時、宿の主人から何年も前にHotels.comのアカウントを閉じたので、こちらの到着を予定していなかったと言われた。また宿泊代金も受け取ってないと言われました。Hotels.comに連絡をとってほしいと言われ、日本の友人にも協力を求めてHotels.comに電話をした。なぜずっと前から予約をしているのに、しかも宿泊客がこのようなことでHotels.comに連絡を取らないといけないのか？　宿の主人は良い人だったので宿泊を受けてくれました。部屋に冷蔵庫やクーラーはありません。２階建の2階の部屋だったので暑くて寝られませんでした。また暑くてドアを開けっぱなしにしたので、身体中蚊にかまれました。朝食２食と自転車利用代とミネラレル・ウォーター２本分の代金4,300Rsをチェックアウトの時に知らされ、支払いました。"

"Really very nice home stay near to the lake and the Museum. The landlady is very helpful and does everything to make the stay comfortable . The bycicle is brought to your room, this is the best way to see the sites, also the entrance is quite near. In the evening the landlady cooks a nice curry for you - or whatever you want - and she also has beer! All in all a very agreeable stay. The bathroom could have been a little cleaner though."

Polonnaruwa

"When I arrived I was told the hotel was closed. I took pictures to prove I was there as I had already paid through Expedia. I then had a ‘neighbour’ show up to ‘offer’ alternate accommodation at a very much more cost! The hotel is on a back street and when confronted with having to find an option on the day when I was hoping to visit the palace I conceded to the higher price. This was classic ‘bait & switch! Do not ever book this hotel!!!!"

The homemade Sri Lankan breakfast was absolutely delicious, with fresh fruit picked from the beautiful trees surrounding the lodge, which Kumari uses in her cooking. The setting is peaceful and full of wildlife....

Top Polonnaruwa Hotel Reviews

Pothana Village

10/10 Excellent

"This property is so serene and peaceful, surrounded by lush greenery. You can see plenty of wild life from peacocks, iguanas to gecko’s, which we got to experience first hand. We were told that sometimes elephants venture and drink from the river further away from the property that can be seen from the rooms, we were unlucky not to see them The staff were all really friendly, kind and accommodating. Lovely, clean swimming pool. We came as a family of 5 to climb Sigiriya and en route to the East Coast."

Sigiriya King's Resort

10/10 Excellent

Kolla Watersong Eco Cabana resort

10/10 Excellent

"Such a beautiful and special place. Just be aware that it’s a bit rustic and because it’s close to the swamp, there are a lot of insects at night. But if you stay inside and don’t mind roughing it a bit, this place is such a great experience and unmatched views and environment. Amazing owner and staff, always so eager to please. Even cooked us a fabulous dinner!"

Hotel Sigiriya

10/10 Excellent

"This is a large hotel and there did seem to be a couple of large groups staying there but this did not detract from our experience. Nice rooms with everything you could need, water readily provided. The pool is ok but the selling point for it is the fantastic view of Lions Rock. We ate in the restaurant on the first night and the buffet had a good selection of food to suit all palates. Breakfast was excellent, you can choose Sri Lankan or more western options. Plenty of choice. Overall I would definitely recommend this hotel."

Kassapa Lion Rock

10/10 Excellent

"We accidentally found this fabulous hotel due to sudden change of our vacation plan. Hotel is located in very calm quiet area within 10 km from Sigiriya local ticketing office. We had an unexpectedly wonderful time in the hotel. The staff were very welcoming and supportive. Hotel has two well maintained pools and beautiful restaurant. Room and the whole hotel was very clean. Foods are so delicious as well. Highly recommend for couples or anyone would like to spend true relax time before or after climbing the Sigiriya rock. This place deserves more than five stars. I encourage more locals to explore these beautiful places around the country."

Cinnamon Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"An absolutely wonderful hotel, with a calm, serene atmosphere, that blends in beautifully with it's surroundings. Cinnamon Lodge is the antitheses of a generic, bland, modern hotel, which exudes a sense of unfussy sophistication. The Cinnamon Group's website does not do justice to the architecture or to how lovely the grounds are. The architect took inspiration from the ruins of nearby Ritigala temple (well worth a visit), and it's amazing how comfortably the buildings blend in with the vast grounds. The rooms are huge and nicely furnished, without being "glitzy". We stayed in a suite that was essentially a two story house, and comes with your own butler - in our case Lalith, who made our stay complete - reserving tables, remembering your favourite drink and generally anticipating your every need. The food was consistently excellent over our five night stay. The staff are all warm, charming and do their best to make your stay a memorable one. They are led by an excellent management team, who are visible, approachable and highly competent. Our stand-out memory is of the wildlife - not just at the nearby national parks, but within the hotel grounds. Incredible bird-life, monkeys, monitor lizards, and even an elephant beside the lake. This was all brought to life for us by the hotel's resident naturalist team (in particular Kintu), and we recommend you seek out their expertise. An oasis of calm, in the heart of the cultural triangle."
