Recent Reviews in Ponnarankulama

The Ivy Lake

10/10 Excellent

"My second time staying at the property. Nice, clean place to stay. Dinner and breakfast were great."

Ceylon resort wilpattu

10/10 Excellent

"One of the nicest hotels we stayed at in Sri Lanka! Stunning forest views from the roof, a very spacious room, and a delicious buffet dinner. Breakfast was also good. The owner encourages guests to book tours through him, but you can book elsewhere too. We enjoyed the tour we booked through the hotel. Overall, a lovely stay!"

Aryana Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a small boutique hotel well located to easily access all the ruins, temples, and sites of Anuradhapura. It has a nice pool to cool off after sightseeing. The breakfast was fantastic. When we arrived, because the hotel wasn’t fully booked, the manager kindly upgraded us to a room with more space so we would be more comfortable. The manager also arranged for a tour guide for a private tour of the ruins of Anuradhapura. The manager and the rest of the staff were so helpful and accommodating."

Breedon Residence Hotel - Anuradhapura

8/10 Good

"This is a lovely modern property. Accommodation is spacious and attractive, and there is a restaurant on site. It is in a suburban location, but not far from local services and attractions by tuk tuk. It's a greast choice for visitors to Anuradhapura. There is a swimming pool on site which is very welcome."

wilpattu Tree House

10/10 Excellent

"Possibly the best hotel stay I've ever had. The room was comfortable, with wonderful views - from our balcony we could see elephants. It's in the perfect location, right at the entrance to the national park (hence the view!). The food was delicious. What really sets the place apart, though, is the staff. Everyone was friendly and helpful, with special thanks to Sampath for taking us to the water so we could see the wildlife, and for going above and beyond with food and drink. We were even offered free use of the showers, tea and snacks after returning from our safari to collect luggage, having already checked out. I can't speak highly enough of everyone there and would recommend the hotel to anyone planning a trip to the national park"

Uga Ulagalla - Anuradhapura

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent and highly recommend"

Gimanhala Tissawawa

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great stay. The property was located right on the lake and run by a small family. They went above and beyond to help me with my pilgrimage. I booked a small room but I upgraded to the cabana."

Four Points Resort - Anuradhapura

10/10 Excellent

"Attention to detail and very good manager. Food was par excellence- both taste and variety Great pool, good rooms and excellent staff"

The Lake Forest Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very helpful staff, excellent location."
