    House is very large with a great kitchen and large fridge. Bedroom is also roomy with a cold ac. Place even has a washing machine and a clothes drying area that had clothes dry by the morning. The owner is a great bloke and very knowledgeable who also does tours with excellent english. Place is a bargain at the price. HIGHLY RECOMMEND STAYING.

    nice and quite place, close to the center, the owner is so helpful and easy to reach and provided us a tuktuk with the driver who's very nice too. We had a great time with the owner who is also a guide who took us to the boat safari and authentic sri lankan dinner. It was a great experience.

    We had a pleasant stay at Windy Villa. The host was very kind and helpful, and the house itself is really spacious — much bigger than we expected. We especially appreciated having access to a washing machine, which was super convenient during our trip. The location is beautiful, surrounded by rice fields, and very peaceful. However, it’s a bit outside the city, so for solo female travelers, the remote location might feel a little unsettling, especially after dark. Overall, a nice place to stay if you’re looking for some quiet and don’t mind being a bit away from town.

    The house was all for us. The bedroom had air conditioning, but the rest of the house did not. The area is very beautiful, just outside the city with rice fields all around. Gorgeous! We used the kitchen to make fruit smoothies and the washer for a load of laundry. I liked relaxing in the living room, on the couches. The house is about a 15-minute walk from the city center, so use the Pick Me app to request a tuk-tuk if you don't want to walk. We enjoyed the walk. Hasy and his family built the house, and they came by the first evening to meet us. The next day Hasy guided us around the ruins of the Ancient city. He did a great job! His English is excellent. Overall, we were very happy at Hasy's house. He made sure we were comfortable and happy.

    The host is a local guide who helped in everything. He is very talented and offered to guide us in the ancient city. He also creating his own YouTube channel so go subscribe soon. Rhe facilities were a major plus like the laundry, AC ,kitchen and gas, as well as smart tv. Mainly you will regret not booking this place.

    We liked everything about the place and the host.

    The host knows perfectly how to behave amongst his guests, everything is a private tour with him. We took the cooking class, the boat tour and the ancient city tour. All have been wonderful. His personality makes the whole visit an amazing experience for all sorts of visitors. The ancient city tour is very well done, very informative and super chill to do. He knows all about the place, is a guide for you too and all with the most friendly smile. He’ll make your experience unique and can even help you to find the right food around town. The villa has a spacious set up, including a washing machine (with detergent even).

    Whole villa with complete kitchen, living room, dining area and full bathroom. Included all the amenities you want to spend a night. It feels more likely our home rather than a villa. Mr Hasitha is also a helpful and kind person. Best place to stay in Polonnaruwa area.

    We only had tiny issues. A drying rack for your clothing (that you wash for free!) would be nice.

    The location is great, though it is a bit outside. It´s calm at night and we could hear animals and see lots of stars. The villa has lots of space and a washing machine. Good restaurants are within 15 minutes walking distance. With tuk tuk the ancient city is nearby. Our host was great. He is well versed in english, so communication is no issue. He organised our entire stay, we even did a tour to ancient city with him and he explained a lot. Furthermore the boat safari he organised turned out to be one of the highlights of our vacation with wild elephants and birds. He also helped us to get to the next trainstation on time.

    The villa needs air conditioning in the lounge room which Hasitha the owner put it on top of the priority list. The bedroom was well air conditioned.

    The deal was with no breakfast. The location is very quite and it is ok The villa is new and spacy I like the screen tv and the good wifi. The villa owner was a very helpful and trying his best to offer the best to make us comfortable. My self and my wife are very much liked the mug with our photo printed on it which is been kindly offered to us by Hasitha the villa owner. Hasitha was a real gentleman

    As minuses, there was very hot in the living room and kitchen since there is a concrete slab as roof, so using the fan is necessary very often. Also, some water faucets were quite worn, requiring to be used very carefully.

    Having the entire home during our stay was very nice. There is a kitchen equipped well to prepare your own food and a large fridge to store the food. There is a washing machine available, which is very helpful. The bedroom is equipped with an AC, which worked very well and it was very helpful since it was very hot during our stay. The bed was very comfortable and bed linens were very clean. The host is very responsive, ready to help with local recommendations and to be sure that the guests enjoy their stay, which is really nice. The location is very peaceful, about 1 km from the main road, but if you like to walk, you can reach by foot this distance and go to supermarkets, ATMs, bus stops. There are some small shops nearby where you can buy fruits, vegetables and snacks or water. Overall, the ratio price-amenities was very good.

    Our stay at Windy Villa was great! The host was more than welcoming and friendly! He told us all about the places we can visit and activities we can do while in Polonaruva. One of the best things about this place is that it has a washing machine, and that was more than needed on this trip! Oh, yes, the host also welcomed us with some cold beer in the fridge :)

    Beautiful, big house that you have all to yourself, in a spectacular natural setting. The host is extremely helpful and obliging. The downside is that the property is a little far from the main road, and not really in walking distance. That means that you are entirely dependent on ordering a tuk tuk (which, it must be added, the host is always ready to do for you.) This is not really a problem, but it is not as easy as being in the town itself.
