We stayed here for 2 nights. The guest house is in a great location, really central and within easy walking/ cycling distance of the archaeological site. We could not have asked for better hosts, the whole family was so warm and friendly. The food was incredible, we had breakfast included in our stay but also ate dinner here both nights and it was amazing. We were able to hire bikes from the owners of the guest house too which was really helpful. Would definitely recommend this place.

Fantastic hosts and great location

We spent 1 night to visit the ancient archeoligical site of Polonaruwa. The hosts offered us to use bikes to go over there (700rs for 2). Before that, they surprised us with delicious sweets, leftovers from some kind of poya earlier that day. Wonderful! The host are really amazing with their everlasting smiles. In the evening we enjoyed a tasty dinner. Rooms are very clean, bathroom suffers from some bugs, but we are in Sri Lanka, no? Rooms have airco and a fan which keeps the room at 25degrees... we slept under the mosquito-net. Accomodation to be recommended. 

The hosts with everlasting smiles

We stayed here for one night to do the ruins and an elephant safari in Minneriya organized by the homestay. The place is nice and quiet and the room was very comfortable. The hosts are nice and picked us up from Sigiriya at the last minute since we didn’t want to stay there two nights. They also drove us to Nuwara Eliya. I think their driving costs were a little high as was the food at the homestay (900 for dinner and 600 for lunch, both much higher than other homestays). But the dinner was quite tasty. The owners are very nice. One night in Polo is more than enough as it’s not a very nice town and has no good restaurants or cafes. We felt the owners dad and main driver was not the safest driver but we are very picky in that regard, overall we were very pleased with our stay and appreciated them helping us out at the last minute.

Nice place for one night 

You can't go wrong by staying here.

Here is why:

-AMAZINGLY WELCOMING HOSTS 
-Spotless rooms = higher standards compared to other places in Sri Lanka;
-Very good location for exploring the archeological sites;
-Bicyle rentals to explore the archeological site, prices higher than average 300 rs per day;
-Rich and nice breakfast;
-Room rate is higher than other guest houses.

Hospitality at its best. Lovely owners!

We stayed two nights here and had a very pleasant time. Our only regret is that we didn't experience a dinner at Sanctuary Cove - which was no fault of the hosts, who are warm and friendly and obviously enjoy having guests. Wassa is great fun and loves a chat. Tasty breakfast, clean rooms, and a nice quiet location away from the dusty main road. We hired the guesthouse bikes to tour the ruins (which is the only way to do it!) and Wassa's husband Saman drove us to the bus station (400 rupees) and sorted us with the right bus for our next stop.
