We loved the pool and the garden! Perfect for relaxing after exploring the ancient city in the heat. The owner and his son who managed the hotel were incredibly friendly and kind. They went out of their way to ensure that I had a fantastic breakfast that catered to my dietary needs (gluten free). Tishan is situated about 15 min away (by car) from the ancient ruins and the town of Polonnaruwa itself.

We most liked that the owner is so passionate about his resort. He loved to show us around in his beautifull garden and everything in the resort is thought of and well functioning. The sister of the owner is an excellent cook and she makes a great Sri Lankan breakfast. Each day a bit different but always delicious and plentifull. Same holds for the optional dinner.
Owner also has good deals and friendly and knowledgeable friends for excursions to the temples and Sigiriya and safari. We left to see other places but actually we didn't want to leave this little paradise.

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.
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.

Lot of ancient locations and relics.
Lot of ancient locations and relics. Can gain much information about historical Polonnaruwa era of Sri Lanka. Spread is in close vicinity and can cover all areas even without a travel guide. My favourite places were Parakrama Samudraya, museum, King Parakramabahu's castle and office, Gal Viharaya, Thiwanka Pilima geya, Vatadage, Hetadage and Sathmahal Prasadaya.
There are places to eat in Polonnaruwa new town (Very close by). We dined at NS Tomatoes where the service was good.

It's worth making the effort to see the far northern and far southern area too.... and don't forget to check out the back roads in the quadrangle group. The site is full of tourists, but almost nobody at the above mentioned places.

Polonnaruwa has impressive archeological and historic areas which are in good conditions despite of the years. The Minneriya National Park, the Dambulla cave temple and the Sigiriya Rock are also near and it makes Polonnaruwa a perfect base to visit all of them. We would strongly recommend to others.

We stayed about 14km outside polonnaruwa on lake giritale.
We stayed about 14km outside polonnaruwa on lake giritale. We got a tuk tuk into town (1500 rupees) and hired bikes for the day (1000 rupees each). We found a cycle route online and followed that, which took us to all the main sites. It was hot but we had a great time. Stop for a drink at the EKO hotel on the lake- a great spot!
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!!
I had wonderful time hear for 3 days, regret I did not book longer, but had to move on. It is a hotel with 13 rooms, but it feels more like a homestay! Everyone , from the owner and his family to the staff were so friendly and helpful beyond expectations. Amazing hospitality. A place you want to go back to. Everyone seems to enjoy their work. The pools are great, taking great care of . Very clean. Thank you for a wonderful stay an help with renting bikes and bus transport. Hope to see you again😊
The owners were definitely the best part about this property. They are so sweet and caring, like a mother and father away from home. The food is also very good! If you are a real traveler, the kind that wants to experience actual culture; the people, food, and local environment, then this is a wonderful homestay. Embrace Sri Lankan culture; eat the food, hang with the locals, and pay in rupees! What a great experience. I highly recommend this place.
This is the first time we are visiting Srilanka and this was the first hotel we booked for accomodation in this trip.To our surprise the hotel was really fantastic with swimming pool,dining area,situated in the accessible location and surrounding.We were given excellent hospitality by the hotel staffs.They were friendly and helped us by arranging tuk tuk.They provided us tasty breakfast and I highly recommend this hotel 👍👍👍
The hotel has an excellent location and staff, an amazing rice field in front of our room, and the hotel look awesome everything is nature friendly. Just 10min away from the ancient city.
The Owner takes care of everything in the hotel and serves the food which is one of the best I’ve eaten in Sri Lanka, they prepared so yummy Srilankan rice and curry and the owner solve any problem, many thanks to him and his team
it was a few minutes drive from polonnaruwa railway station. Owner of the property was very friendly. Sri lankan breakfirst with rice, coconut sambol, Dhal curry and fried egg was good meal to start the day. The cost is really lesser and satisfied with the service level for that much of amount spent. You can't expect air conditioning and hot water for that price range.
A great place! Host Amal is a great guy. Very communicative, friendly, helpful. His son Dilshara was also a great help to us; he cycled with us to show us a beautiful way to the Polonnaruwa Ancient City Museum. Be sure to have Auntie prepare you a meal, because that was the best home cooked diner we had during our stay in Sri Lanka.
Very friendly and helpful host, offered us a lot of tips about Polonnaruwa, rented us bikes, organized Tuktuk when we needed it and helped us with continuing our journey. He also gave us his phone number and said we could contact him anytime if we need help in Sri Lanka. Highly recommended!
It is very quite location. Very close to Polonnaruwa ancient ruins. Good road available to hotel. Friendly approach by the staff. Iron available with stand to iron the clothes. Wi-Fi facility was available. Comfortable beds spacious room worth my stay for money.

A beautiful place in a very quiet location in an urban environment. We had all the amenities we needed. Very close to Polonnaruwa city and places to visit in Polonnaruwa. This is a perfect place for someone who wants to spend a few days relaxing.
The hotel is close to Ancient City, only 10 minutes walk. Hosts are hospitable people and can help with everything. They also can give bicycles and umbrellas. Room was clean with 2 big beds, no problems with a hot water.
The hotel is on very beautiful location, surrounded by the lake. The view is spectacular. An ideal spot for bird watching. Sunrise and sunset can be admired.
