Feel at home in Polonawura

9.0

Super nice family, they try everything to make you feel at home, incredible breakfast and dinner (try her dinner, she does it very good and fot a great value). We would come back for sure!

The plugs for chargging were working so so, and the room itself was modest but great for its value

Geweldig verblijf bij Thisal en zijn oma

10.0

Ons verblijf bij Thisal en zijn oma was fantastisch. Thisal kan je precies vertellen wat je moet bezoeken in de ancient city van Pollonnaruwa en je kunt fietsen huren waarmee je gemakkelijk door het park gaat in 1 dag. Daarnaast kun je heel betaalbaar een safari regelen via Thisal. Beide dagen waren geweldig!

Thisal et sa grand mère sont extrêmement gentils ! Le logement est propre, proche du site archéologique. Ils proposent une location de vélo pour 500 roupies. Le repas du soir était délicieux et très copieux, ainsi que le petit déjeuner. De plus, j’ai été embêté avec les transport, Thisal à téléphoné à la station de bus pour me trouver une solution. Il m’a déposé à la station et m’a accompagné dans le bus pour être sûr que mon trajet soit le bon. Je le remercie infiniment, sans lui je n’y serais pas arrivé. N’hésitez pas à réserver, en plus d’avoir un logement tout à fait confortable, vous aurez un contact humain incroyable. Je le remercie encore 1000x !

Top Preis-Leistungsverhältnis und nahe an den Ruinen!

10.0

Einfaches Zimmer, das alles hatte, was es brauchte (inkl. AC). Top Lage, nah an den Ruinen von Polonnarawu. Fahrräder zum Erkunden der alten Königsstadt kann man direkt vor Ort gegen wenig Geld ausleihen! Die Gastfamilie war super lieb und herzlich, hat uns bei allem geholfen, ein leckeres Mittagessen gekocht und uns persönlich zum nächsten Atm und zur Bushaltestelle am nächsten Morgen gebracht und sogar gewartet, bis wir im richtigen Bus saßen! Wir danken euch für alles!
