    The rooms could use some updating but everything worked fine and the bed was comfortable.

    The owner and staff gave exceptional service - the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka so far. The pool and garden were very good and welcome in the heat. We ate dinner both nights and had breakfast and enjoyed the traditional Sri Lankan cooking.

    Not The Best Place for a Couple, But Good for a Family and Friends

    The room was small, but not painful because they had a very nice and spacy veranda. Don't expect a stylish bathroom, but it is OK. There was a hot water heater in the bathroom, but it was not turned on at the time of our stay. If I asked, they'll probably turned that on the heater, but didn't bother. When I was there (on a weekend), nobody had booked a single room. So, the hotel was empty and I felt a little uncomfortable about that.

    The staff was very polite, and the pool was better than most of the hotels in the area. And has a big enough parking space. This might be a good place when you travel with friends and family.

    No dining options. We had a car so could go for a very good restaurant 15 minutes away. But a hassle. The staff lacks ambition and has no eye for quality abd detail. I feel for the owner.

    Slightly seasoned and a bit struggling this hotel offers still vakue for money.

    We had an amazing stay! Honey tree has comfy rooms and a beautiful pool and garden. We were incredibly well looked after by the amazing Abey who attended to our every need, cooking us loads of delicious food, arranging bike hire for us at Polonnaruwa ancient city, and even getting a few bottles of Lion beer especially for us after we asked to try some. We couldn't recommend it enough! An absolute gem!

    No complaints. Quaint and cosy. Good value for money.

    We absolutely loved the sweet manager Abey. He really made our stay very memorable and went above and beyond to make us comfortable. The pool and breakfast were great and the room was great value for the price. AC and hot water worked and the location is peaceful and surrounded by villages and rice fields and yet close to town. We also recommend the cafe in town Putsiri. Great food and lovely owners.

    We had a delightful one-night stay at Honey Tree in Polonnaruwa. The room was clean and comfortable, and the pool area was a refreshing oasis. What truly made our stay special was the exceptional hospitality of Mr. Abeyrathne. He was incredibly friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable stay in Polonnaruwa. We highly recommend Honey Tree to anyone seeking a comfortable and welcoming stay in Polonnaruwa.

    As soon as we arrived after a long day of traveling the hosts brought us some welcome drinks. The pool was amazing and had some drinks while relaxing there. We did not feel like going out for dinner and the owners cooked us an amazing meal! We had some nice conversations and this was probably one of the best stays we’ve had in all our time in Sri Lanka. Thanks again!
