Guest Reviews
- Aleksandra (9/5): - Przesympatyczni właściciele, bardzo ciepli i służący poradą co zwiedzić. Lokalizacja świetna, blisko do atrakcji oraz do jeziora. Jedzenie przepyszne
- Mark (9/5): Lovely family who assisted us greatly! - Proximity to the ancient city.
- Dhammika (2/5): -
- Claudia (6/5): - Nel complesso la struttura non era male, posizionata in un buon punto e immersa nel verde. Il personale disponibile. Il ventilatore era di quelli al soffitto , non l ho potuto usare perché faceva un rumore incredibile. Purtroppo ho dormito malissimo
- sigma (6/5): - plesni w scianach
- Firmin (6/5): Bon rapport qualité prix - L emplacement qui est tout proche de l entrée des temples de polonaruwa, la gentillesse des hôtes qui nous ont proposé la location de vélos, très pratiques pour la visite de la ville. Le ménage de la chambre laissait un peu a désirer, notamment sous les lits, cependant la partie salle d eau etait tres bien.
La chambre bien qu exiguë etait pourvue d un lit double et d un lit simple empêchant un agencement agréable des lieux.
- Himaru (5/5): -
- Sagara (10/5): Nice place no distrab and 100/natural - All excellent Nothing
- Champika (3/5): -
- Saman (8/5): -
- Simon (7/5): - Freundliche Gastgeber, super gelegen für eine Besichtigung der Ruinen Leider sehr viele Affen, die auf die auf die Terrasse kamen und Essen klauten.
Und sehr viele Insekten im Zimmer.
- Loudan (6/5): - Nice atmosphere, its peaceful The place is full of cobwebs and the owner is super nice but rips you off (1200 for an old rusty bicycle for a day is ridiculous)
- Lorena (8/5): -
- MOHAMMED (6/5): -
- Weerakkody (7/5): -
- Pietro (6/5): Scam - Perfect location to go visit the archeological site nearby Photos on booking are not of the place you're going to stay but of the owner's house. The actual building is not as nice. When we arrived we were asked in what room we would have liked to stay, suggesting the AC room because the other one was not clean, this room ended up costing almost double the price. We had dinner at the homestay, nothing special, again really different from what you would expect from photos you can see posted, 1300 rupees per pax for vegetable curry rice and a banana, 1200 rupees for a beer, draw your own conclusions based on Sri Lankan prices...To be completely fair, after some discussion we paid for the room we booked, but still the price didn't feel right.
- Mohamed (8/5): It's ok decent and peaceful place But the room was a little warm. -
- Zwiener (10/5): - Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, ein perfektes backpacker- Zimmer mit Frühstück und super leckerem Abendessen von Mama gekocht...Affen und Hirsche im Garten kann man auch noch entdecken...Danke für diese tollen Tage.
- Samantha (10/5): Best for family - Very clean and staff good
- hansani (5/5): -
- Sam (10/5): Tranquil with deer and monkeys - Very quiet and surrounded by large trees, historic sites and irrigation canal that is being fed by the ancient Parakrama Samudra nearby.
Ranjith, the retired school teacher and the owner of the place helped me to brush up my Singhalese, his wife Amara made me a mouthwatering evening meal of rice and five curries.
Dilshan the owner's son was very engaging and helped with me need.
Wonderful stay.
Lots and lots of monkeys playing around and even a family of deer 🦌 walk calmly through the garden.
Thanks Like many guest houses in Sri Lanka in the budget category, place need some maintenance.
That didn't diminish my experience
- Shameera (10/5): Exceptional - Its very close to city and i have met up my expectations during the trip.
- Darshana (10/5): Exceptional -
- Infas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Petr (10/5): Exceptional - The host family was very friendly and helpfull. The original Sri Lanka food was very delicious and plenty. The location is a dream for nature lovers with a lot of wildlife in the garden, on the fringe of the jungle an just a step to the ruins of Polonnaruwa.
- Eva (9/5): Superb - Very nice place, peaceful. There are many wild animals around like deers, huge lizards, giant and ordinary lizards, many different birds, fire flies and cheeky monkeys.
The family is very nice and they also cook for you if you wish. A nice breakfast is included.
- Barua (1/5): Very poor - Nothing Bed is broken not comfortable & bedsheet not a clean.They didn’t provide toilet tissue & soap.
toilet is not clean 🤮.Many mosquito in the room …
- Ralitsa (9/5): Superb - We had amazing time. The host were really friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious. The house is near the forest and if you don't mind a few insects the place is wonderful.
- Desilva (10/5): I wholeheartedly recommend Deer Garden Hotel to any type of traveler. Love that place and service. - A Perfect Stay at Deer Garden Hotel in Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka!
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Deer Garden Hotel during my visit to Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. This charming hotel is an absolute gem, catering to travelers from both inside and outside the country. From the moment I arrived to the day of my departure, everything was flawless.
**Location ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐**
Deer Garden Hotel is nestled in the heart of Polonnaruwa, surrounded by lush greenery and just a stone's throw away from the city's historical sites. Its central location makes it a perfect base for exploring the cultural wonders of this ancient city.
**Accommodation ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐**
The rooms at Deer Garden are both spacious and comfortable, providing a truly restful haven after a day of sightseeing. The beds were plush, ensuring a good night's sleep, and the room amenities were top-notch. The attention to detail in the room's decor added a touch of elegance to the overall experience.
**Dining ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐**
The dining experience at Deer Garden was an absolute highlight. From breakfast to dinner, every meal was a delight to the taste buds. The hotel's commitment to serving fresh, local ingredients shone through in every dish. The breakfast spread was diverse and included both local and international options, catering to a wide range of preferences. Lunch and dinner were equally impressive, with a variety of culinary delights that showcased the richness of Sri Lankan cuisine.
**Service ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐**
The staff at Deer Garden Hotel are truly the heart and soul of this establishment. Their warmth, attentiveness, and willingness to go above and beyond for the guests made the stay even more memorable. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with genuine smiles and a level of service that truly sets this hotel apart.
- Sajith (1/5): Bad - We were redirected to a different guest house. The owner should have informed us, but he was so unprofessional not to do so.
- Alex (9/5): Superb -
- K.I (2/5): - あるはずのプールはなかった。庭園というのはただの森の中のこと。あるはずの部屋の中のボトルウォーターはなかった。部屋のコンセントはあるにはあるが、はじめは使えない状態にしてあった。旅行代理店に部屋代は支払い済みと言っても、理由をつけて現金で部屋代を請求してきたので支払った。かつチェックアウト時、本来費用に含まれているはずの冷房費を後付けで別に請求されたので支払った。(+1000Rs.)こういうことは最初に行っておくべきではなかったのか。あとでホテルのネットの説明を見たら設備に「冷房」がついていて元々の額だったのに、やはりこの請求はどう考えてもおかしい。部屋の費用の領収証は、こちらから何度か請求してようやく渡してきた。
- Santa (10/5): Wonderful pace to stay - This place is a PARADISE on earth. You can seriously "dine together" with deer, and share the same space with monkeys and so forth. The owner is a very, very polite and helpful host with all of the family. I will always remember this place with love in my heart. P.S. Thank you for showing and explaining my confusion about coconuts ! :)
