Our room was extremely clean and that seems to be rare in Sri Lanka. There was no humidity marks at all in our room. The outside pool area is just so beautiful. The pool is super clean, went for a great swim. The property is surrounded by rice fields and has plenty of wildlife.The rooms are a little out dated but thats ok since everything else is great and clean. Plenty of workers trimming plants and cleaning property. Breakfast buffet also was great. Definitely recommend if you are in the area.

Half a day was enough as the sun was out and draining.

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.

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.

The ancient ruins are a wonder to visit.

The ancient ruins are a wonder to visit. Some great knowledgeable guides available. A few crooks about aggressively selling their Tuk Tuk and bicycle hire to be beware of. Our guide was sadly threatened and intimidated by these bullysome men.

We were very impressed with the ruins of the ancient city. And we were stunned by the sophistication and scale of this long ago kingdom. The Technology Museum was also superb. We think everyone should go to Polannaruwa.

Ruins is one of the best experiences I have ever had.

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. 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.

Had a wonderful one-night stay at Rivonway Hotel during my trip to Polonnaruwa. The staff was kind and welcoming, the room was clean and comfortable, and the food was truly delicious. The hotel is in a peaceful location, perfect for relaxing after exploring the ancient city. Great value and excellent service, They arranged lovely wild safari for us — I would definitely stay here again!

Convenient location near the clock tower in Polonnaruwa and the ancient area. The owner is very nice and helpful. I rent a bike from them. It's reasonably priced. The hotel is surrounded by rice fields. I saw a nice view from room windows and having breakfast in such an environment was particularly nice. The hotel looks new and very clean.

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!
