Dilshan Guest

The owner was so lovely and happy to help. We had a really good, big breakfast too. Also he offered bike rentals for the ruins and a taxi to and from the station which we used and was really helpful. Also great location very close to the lake which we cycled around at sunset and was beautiful- recommended by the owner- and also close to the ruins.

The room was comfortable and safe- we were happy here as budget travellers but I think if cleanliness is a priority for you it might not meet your standards. It wasn’t very unclean just lots of bugs and not spotless.

Living room and waiting area is very clean. Friendly staff

The bathroom is a complete mess, you can't even turn inside the bathroom. Hot water does not come. Even in the shower, the water comes little by little. The bathroom is the worst.

Don't recommend

we got a two double bed bedroom for very cheap, owner is very nice, good wifi, good place to sit outside and relax

bathroom could be cleaner, but it's okay for the price

The owner was very nice and helpful . He gave us warning and advices when walking or riding a tuktuk in Polonnaruwa. He showed us the cheapest and very good local foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner in SriLanka. Only 60 meters from the accommodation. As well near the fruit market. You can buy fruits and eat in Dilshan guest with many tables and chairs. Just walking distance from Ancient city. Warning if some tuktuk driver offers you a cheap rides tour around the Ancient city.make it sure that you will see the 2 historical sites near the museum where you can buy the tickets before entering the main entrance to see the other sites and make it sure, your tickets is with you when you finished. Usually they will drop you off and so.eone will pick you up but they usually get your tickets and sell it to other tourists. You will be surprised that you really didn't seen all So better rent a bicycle to Dilshan and do it yourself in your time.. He was able to organized a better deal price for Elephant safari (note that safari here in SriLanka is over advertised) If you never been to a Safari from other Countries and it's OK but Safari SriLanka is like a FARM ELEPHANTS, you can see farm cows on the other sides and the tours usually starts at 1 PM when it's really hot in order for the Elephants will be near the water.you can see about 30-40 Elephants but about 300 safari jeeps coming everywhere from Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa, etc.
