    I recently stayed at the charming Ancient Village hotel for a few nights. The rooms were clean and comfortable with spacious bathrooms. The beds were large and cozy, and the air conditioning worked perfectly. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. The owner was particularly friendly and always willing to assist us. The location was ideal, not far from the main road but still quiet. The hotel offered a lovely view from the second floor, and the breakfast provided was delicious. a great experience!

    Would recommend this hotel.

    The owner was very helpful and accommodating, providing useful advice and arranging activities like safaris and tours. The hotel had a peaceful atmosphere, with a nice view of the surrounding grassed area and wildlife.- The owner offered transportation services at a reasonable price, making it convenient to explore the nearby attractions.

    The furniture in the rooms was a bit sparse compared to the size of the room, lacking some essential pieces like bedside tables and proper storage for clothes. The hotel's location was a bit away from the main road, requiring a 5-minute walk, which might be inconvenient for some guests.

    During my stay at Ancient Village, I experienced exceptional customer service that surpassed any I had encountered before. The boss was incredibly knowledgeable and fluent in English, providing invaluable assistance in planning our activities in Polonnaruma. The attention to detail and ensuring our needs were met was commendable. Moreover, the noodles and rice served at the hotel were absolutely delicious, a highly recommended dining option. The staff even went the extra mile to get us ice cream when we had a craving. I highly recommend this hotel due to its outstanding customer service and tasty culinary offerings.

    Great value for money with spacious rooms and comfortable beds. The location was perfect, within walking distance to the historical sites and a local market. The staff, including the friendly and helpful owner, went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable.

    Food for breakfast could have been improved with more variety or options.

    Beautiful rice paddies outside our door, with lots of peacocks, Ibis, and mongoose in the morning. The owner easily arranged an elephant safari for a good price. The location is close to the clocktower area with shops and restaurants, and there is a weekly market nearby on Tuesdays.

    There was no wifi, which was a problem for us as we were working while traveling. The room could have used more storage.
