We stayed here in a three bedroom room.  Two of the beds had a mosquito net.  But I had bought a can of fly-spray, so I nailed them before bed time anyway!

The room was clean and tidy and had good air-conditioning.  There was no wifi, although we didn't ask about it either.

The husband and wife greeted us and were very friendly.  They had some cold Lion beer that they could sell me (I had a couple of bottles after a long day), so I was very grateful.

The breakfast was simple and good, traditional items, omlette, fruit and poppits (or something), so we really liked that.

We arrived one evening and they had asked earlier that day (I didn't receive the message) whether they should cook dinner for us.  I wish I had said yes!  but we were running late and had to grab something on the way there.

The next morning the husband drove his motorbike to the Polonnaruwa ticket office and we followed.  That was really helpful and many thanks to him for doing this.  We hired a guide, and we could drive our car around the different sites (you can take your own car into the ancient city).

Radha home was incredibly cheap and incredibly good value and they were very kind and offered great service.  I would highly recommend you stay there, and the location is good to get to the ancient city for a visit.  

Many thanks to husband and wife at Radha!

Radha is incredibly good value and in a great location.  Make sure to have breakfast there and dinner if you can.

Our stay at Radha Tourist Home was more than perfect for our short stopover through Polonnaruwa. The rooms are very comfortable and clean. The large dining area was convenient and the shared kitchen was well stocked with what we needed to make our own food. The hosts are also very kind and responsive. Their great hospitality was immediately noticeable when they greeted us with delicious tea when we arrived. They showed us exactly where to go and what to expect when we visit the famous city ruins nearby. If we had to go through Polonnoruwa once more, we wouldn't hesitate booking with Radha Tourist Home again!

Great stay and wonderful hosts

Just stayed here with another couple of my travelling friends who are also here all through the plandemic year. The owners are lovely and helpful. The rooms are spotless, the location is so quiet yet next to the lake and 100 metres from the twice weekly market and the clock tower at the bottom of the main road closest to the ancient city. Tonnes of cafes  shops and restaurants and banks two minutes away. We used the kitchen and bought and cooked our own meals except a beautiful breakfast suprise gift from the owners as we spent Sri lankan new year here. We had 7 nights and would stay longer but my friends have to fly back to Europe. I'm heading to trincomalee and hope to stop by on the way back down south. Definitely give this a try you wont be disappointed. Meals available on request and they looked great as I saw the other guests being catered to. 👍🙏🥰

Best in polonnaruwa.

The hosts are friendly and helpful and the homemade meal was great for dinner and breakfast. They organised a very nice tour with a fair price to all places in city with a cool TukTuk driver. Thank you for everything. 

A small homestay close to the lake (Parakrama Samudraya) and a pleasant walk to the southern archaeological site (Maha Parakramabhu statue) and also to the site near the archaeological museum – both of these sites are free to enter. The host is very friendly and helpful.  Breakfast and dinner were good.  The bus to Kaduruwela (where the train station and main bus station are) is a five minute walk away.  There is an interesting local produce market close by.  Unless you want to do the full ancient sites tour there is not a lot else to do in the town.

Clean, comfortable with good food

We stayed here for 2 nights. Dinners both nights were fabulous. Place is spotless. Rooms are very nice. Great AC. Good fans. Lovely showers. We cannot fault this place. Used their bicycles to visit the sites. Enjoyed the sunset at the lake. Peaceful neighborhood. 

Great guest house

If you are looking for a home stay with real family atmosphere this place is for you. The owners are extremely kind and helpful and can arrange everything you may need e.g.  decent priced safari or bike rental. The kitchen is delicious and home cooked vegetarian curry is so perfect that it might be that Sri Lankan meal, which you will remember for the rest of your life. Rooms are clean and all facilities are new. The place is ideally located just few steps away from the clock tower bus stop, yet in a quiet alley. The owners are likely to accompany you during the meals but it only makes it a more personal, unique and memorable experience.

Memorable home stay experience

Our room was clean and comfortable, and in a quiet location just set back from the hustle and bustle of Polonnoruwa.

The family were very kind hosts and the dinner that she cooked up for us was absolutely incredible - a real feast of so many dishes, each one absolutely delicious. Definitely take advantage of the dinners here as it was some of the best food we had on our trip!

Fantastic value and a great base for exploring the area.

Amazing food

4 small rooms in a tidy neat compound close to the large market in Polonnaruwa. 

Our room was absolutely spotless; probably the cleanest room we've stayed. We had a queen and single bed, mirror, A/C, chair, a towel rack and wet washroom. The bathroom had a hot water flow-through although the water was more warm than hot and the pressure was okay. There were two thin but clean towels, no hand towel, washcloth, or shampoo so bring your own. There were two outlets with adaptors which were quite handy. Lighting was good. 

There isn't anywhere to hang your clothes but I get the sense that people only stay one or two nights so that isn't much of an issue. 

At dusk, there are a lot of mosquitoes so bring bug spray. If you keep the door and windows closed, the room should be okay. There is netting if you need it. The beds were fairly comfy and the nights mostly quiet. The A/C and WIFI both worked well 

The food was amazing! For dinner we ordered chicken fried rice but also got a plate of tomatoes, a plate of cucumbers, a bowl of papaya, some dhal, okra, and pumpkin curry (that's what I can remember). For breakfast: hoppers with fried eggs, potato curry, roti, jam, a sandwich with onion sambal, cakes, papaya, coconut roti (crepe with coconut and molasses), buns with powdered sugar, and tea with condensed milk. Although delicious, we could not eat it all. Breakfast was $4 US. 

The family fusses over you as they want to make sure you have everything you need or want. We didn't mind this at all. They do not bother you when you're in your room. 

The price was amazing. Two nights, three meals, one beer, one large bottle water and 2 coffees - $125 Canadian. Incredible. Highly recommend this place.

Wonderful stay, excellent food, great price

The location is perfect to visit the temples, 5-10min by walk to the main street, 5min by bicycle to the temples. You can rent bicycles at the homestay for 300 rps a day.
The room was clean and comfortable. However, there was no AC (although we booked an AC-room) and the room was very hot. Overpriced for a room without AC, you could find much better value for the money in the area.
The family was nice but a bit too present (for example standing next to you during meals and watching you eat). I'm sure they mean it well, they want to make sure you enjoy your meal but it was a bit disturbing for us.
Overall it's a nice place but a bit expensive. With AC the price would be more appropriate.
