The hotel has everything to be great but staff is not yet trained to deal with client.
I had in this place the worst experience ever from the time I’ve arrived in the hotel.
The receptionist was rude to me, we had to escalate the situation and then manager come to solve it but it totally messed our night with the reception misunderstanding.

This hotel is not well-known among Chinese tourists. I saw it by chance, and it turned out to be the most surprising hotel in the entire Sri Lanka trip! It is really small and exquisite, and all the layouts are very stylish. It is worthy of being the hotel where the Queen of England once stayed. Without mentioning other places, just one small detail, the hotel is by the lake, there are many wild animals such as monkeys and squirrels, but there is really no mosquito. It is extremely pleasant to sit by the lake and watch the sunset. From this detail, it can be seen that the hotel management has really worked hard~ The only thing is that the hotel wifi needs to be logged in again after a long time of non-use, which is a bit troublesome, but the speed is good~

EKHO Lake House Polonnaruwa is a true gem. Manager Nuwan ensured every aspect of our stay was flawless. Chef Chaminda, with Priyantha and Wasantha, delighted us with their exceptional culinary creations – the food was a highlight of our trip. Isuru’s friendly demeanor and outstanding service made us feel valued throughout our stay. The serene setting by Parakrama Samudra made this the perfect retreat for relaxation. Highly recommend this property for anyone visiting Polonnaruwa.
