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~

This is easily the best five star hotel in the world. Divine location- divine surroundings. Built at the banks of a thousands of years old reservior "Parakrama Samudra" the hotel is modern in amenities and the maintained like a paradise! The garden and pool boys are working round the clock- the management and admin staff are the friendliest! The room is amazing1 We had our own verandal, balcony and our own corner swimming pool right next to the reserviour! Food is excellent and you get your own personal cappucino machine in your room! What more do you want! I can't give you a rating that is good enough for what you offer!

We had a wonderful stay at Ekho Lake House Polonnaruwa. This is probably the best plce to stay Polonnaruwa. It has the elgance of international standards. The staff is exceptionally good. They provided us with kiripidu pojawa for Somawathi temple. We feel the management is not capitalising when marketting the place. Following are some of the points they should consider for marketing: 1. The hotel is situated nearlly on top of Parakrama Samudraya lake giving magnificent views for the rooms. There are no other hotels which provides this in Polonnaruwa. 2. You can watch elephnats bathing. Ideally the hotel should have binoculors for the visitors to watch the beauty of elephant baths. 3. The hotel seems to have built in 17th or 18th century. Queen Elezebath has stayed in this hotel in 1954 during her Royal visit to Polonnaruwa. You can book this room and use the Roayl batch tub. Unfortaullately I got to know about the room only during my stay, otherwise I would have booked this room. 4. Hotel is almost on the smae premises as King Nissankamalla's palace and parliament built in 12th century. Magnificet ruins are only few feet away. If you re going to Polonnaruwa then Ekho Lake is The place to stay.

We stayed there for the last leg of our journey in Sri Lanka and it could not have been a better last night in this beautiful country. The room was clean and spacious, and we were offered a tour of the Queen Elizabeth II bedroom. The staff was more than perfect; we felt valued during our stay and they made sure everything was ok without being too present. We had the chance of having a group of three musicians singing for us for a few minutes while we were sipping champagne on the water front. Special thanks to Priyantha who was amazing from start to finish and to Isuru as well :)

We were very sad to check out today. It was the best end to our fantastic 20 day holiday in Sri Lanka. The hotel is simply beautiful internally and externally. The staff are amazing. The food was consistently excellent. We booked on a half-board basis direct with the hotel because it was not clear from booking sites whether the rooms fit an additional bed for our son (they do). Booking direct was significantly cheaper than the cost on the sites. 1 minute walk from the UNESCO site entrance, a pool, quiet, stunning views, huge rooms, spotless, wildlife such as bats, excellent staff, great chef. What more could you ever ask for in a hotel. A must.
