Everything ☺️ The staff are super helpful and don’t mind spending time to explain things and impart knowledge. We arrived after lunch time due to rain delays, and the manager made a plan for lunch without making us feel we were a bother. Delicious food 😋 and comfortable accommodation 👍🏻 A definite must stay when en route or even a few days to relax next to the pool. The garden is lush and tranquil 🌹🙏🏼

Wonderful place to stay in Polonnaruwa that is like home, and everyone there like family. Comfy and full of warmth, the dinner and breakfast are also exceptional. Some of the best food I have tasted in Sri Lanka. A highlight of my trip and a place I will hope to visit again...

We were welcomed with cold watermelon juice then shown to our huge room which had a lovely balcony and was immaculately clean. Sam (manager? owner?) was super helpful and helped us plan our itinerary for the rest of our stay. The pool was just what we needed after a hot day in the archeological site. We couldn’t believe how great this place was and what incredible value. Don’t stay anywhere else!!!

"Our stay was absolutely fantastic! From the very first moment, we felt special as the owner greeted us with a cocktail, which instantly put us in a great mood. The rooms were spotless, making our stay incredibly comfortable. The breakfasts were delicious, fresh, and varied – the perfect start to the day. The place is quiet, peaceful, and ideal for relaxation. The owner, running a family business, went out of her way to help us whenever we didn’t know something, which we really appreciated. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing atmosphere, a caring host, and a good base for exploring. Highly recommended!"

    Clean, Comfortable, and Family-Friendly – Just Like Our Own Home Our stay at Honey Tree Polonnaruwa was wonderful! The pool was crystal clear and even had a safe area for small children. With only six rooms, the atmosphere was quiet and private — perhaps the only hotel in Polonnaruwa with a pool for such a small number of guests. The rooms were very comfortable, the food was delicious, and the staff were warm and welcoming. Excellent value for money!

    Half a day was enough as the sun was out and draining. At the last stop in Polonnaruwa where you have the temple there was a young man sketching and painting. There was also an older gentleman selling Neem & Jamun tree wood containers and tumblers for keeping water in the night and drinking in the morning Neem for better all over health & Jamun for decreasing blood sugar.

    Amazing, smaller national park. More of a wild, intimate experience than it's massively over subscribed cousins. We were in very close contact with a family of elephants, (including baby) for at least 20 mins before another jeep arrived, and then it was only just the two vehicles.

    The ancient city of Polonnaruwa has a lot to offer to the tourists who want to know about the history of Sri Lanka. It has so many ruins and monuments to view, and especially marvel at the stone crafting abilities of ancient Sri Lankans who have created so many buddhist states and artistic monuments by using rocks. Definitely a trip to add to your bucket list.
