The view of the surrounding field is absolutely stunning. The hotel appears to be quite new and is in good shape. However, our stay was quite chaotic. Initially, the room seemed cozy, but once we entered, it had a terrible smell reminiscent of a sewage pit. The odor was intolerable, and despite this, we received no proper remedy other than a small air freshener. We booked through Airbnb, which I suspect contributed to the issues we faced. The management does not seem to accommodate Airbnb guests well; they charged us again on-site, claiming the Airbnb rates were incorrect. Although this request was reasonable, they insisted we pay for additional rooms and wouldn’t adjust the amount we had already paid through the site. The food lacked flavor and seemed more appropriate for those who don’t enjoy spicy dishes, making it unsuitable for locals. While the deviled chicken and pork were decent, the overall dining experience was overpriced and unappetizing. On a positive note, the on-site manager was friendly. The main highlight of this place is definitely the scenic view. I would suggest booking directly after inspecting the room and consider dining elsewhere since the food left much to be desired.

This hotel has everything you could want—spacious, tidy rooms with amazing views. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, and the food is fantastic. They prepared a fish curry and fried fish for us, which turned out to be one of the best meals we enjoyed during our entire trip.

The prices were very affordable, offering great value for what you get. What really made a difference was the outstanding hospitality from the staff and owners.

Overall, I highly recommend Rivonway Hotel Polonnaruwa for anyone looking for a tranquil and budget-friendly stay in Polonnaruwa. The combination of a peaceful setting, reasonable rates, and superb service makes it a great choice for travelers. The only downside I noticed was the lack of convenient shops nearby.

The hotel is good. Most field working corporate persons are staying. Have nice fried lake fish dish.
