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!
Superb stay, best place to stay in polonnaruwa, new rooms with balcony in perfect condition, food was very tasty. Paddy field view is mind relaxing and very calm, Rivonway is hidden gem, they were arrange everything whatever we want specially wild safari. At the morning birds & peacocks are singing arround the hotel. Very nature friendly hotel specially for tourists, small canels are going front of the property. The host is very understandable and speaking very good english. we can highly recommend for all.
Amazing hospitality, clean and relatively modern rooms, good food and great location for visiting Polonuwara archeological sites. Bicycles were available for a small fee and we went on a great elephant safari for half a day and saw lots of elephants, organised by the hosts👍 loved this place so can't praise enough. Been travelling Sri Lanka for over 4 weeks and this is definitely one of the better home stays you will find. Enjoy👍
The owners were very nice and organized bicycles for us upon our arrival. The hotel is situated in an excellent location very close to the ruins and close to some restaurants. Rooms were clean, breakfast very good. Overall very good experience for very little money. We payed 4 times more in other places in Sri Lanka for worse conditions than in Man Guest. I can recommend this place to everyone.
Gorgeous location overlooking the lake and directly across the street from the archeology museum. Attentive service. Fantastic Sri Lankan curry served in an Inviting dining room. Gracious service. Expert management who helped us hire great tuk tuk driver with excellent English for a late afternoon tour after the crowds had gone. This hotel was the high point of our trip to Sri Lanka so far.
Even though our stay was rather short, we really enjoyed the time we spent at Tishan Holiday Resort. The host was extremely welcoming and helpful. The hotel has a pool and beautiful view over the fields. The location is quiet and a bit on the outskirts of the city, while still being very accessible by tuktuk. I would definitely like to stay there again.
Everything exceeded my expectations. The food was delicious. The rooms were clean,comfortable. The staff were really friendly. The property was very safe. The hotel and its surroundings were beautiful and very peaceful. The safari,camping and kayak riding was incredible. I would highly recommend sunset tourist hotel to anyone.
This hotel is very conveniently located only a short bike ride away from the Polonnaruwa historical park. It is a very good value for the reasonable price. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful. They rented us bikes to explore the sites and gave us tips on what to see. The food was also very good!
it’s so peaceful and beautiful, there’s a swimming pool you can chill (beach towels are provided), restaurant - you should try a giant prawn from the lake!
The host is great!
Sigiriya & Pidurangala rocks are just 1 hour drive from the hotel. Polonnaruwa is just 10 min max.
Family guest house. I felt welcomed from all family. The house is right next to the UNESCO heritage site. simple rooms but you have everything you need when you travel around sri lanka. you can also take a sagari right from the owner. i will really come back soon.
This is a very nice hotel. The rooms are clean and neat and the garden is lovely. It is close to shops, restaurants, and a beautiful lake. The host is friendly and helpful.He provided us a lot of information. Very pleasant stay.Strongly recommended.
A hotel in a very lovely environment.Large rooms with beautiful forest view.. We Can see many animals and birds from the room.Very friendly staff and the food was delicious... Also the hotel is closer to polonnaruwa ancient city.
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.
Excellent location close to the ruins. Lovely view across the lake and the pool offers a great way to refresh oneself after a safari. The Sri Lankan food in the restraint was super tasty.
