Everything: Great location, in a quiet street - but near town and the ancient city. Spotlessly clean throughout. Friendly, and extremely helpful host.

A lovely clean spacious inviting room with hot water shower bathroom. We loved sitting on the balcony looking out over the garden watching the parrots and squirrels in the morning whilst we ate our delicious breakfast. The owners are so kind and welcoming, you even get a cold welcome drink arrival. The dinners were the best we've had at any homestay and lots of variety and generous servings. The son organised a safari for us, which was very reasonable 20,000lkr for 5hours ( 1 hr to park and 3h safari which was enough to see lots of elephants and 1h return) So, can recommend if you want to see elephants. We would definitely stay here again and would love to stay longer next time.

We highly recommend Wildescape Guesthouse for anyone seeking a memorable stay. From the moment you arrive, it’s clear that this place prioritizes attention to details and top-quality service. The refreshing swimming pool is a highlight—perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. The food menu is another standout feature. We tried the BLT and Wildescape salad paired with a delightful cocktail, and it was nothing short of amazing. Breakfast was equally impressive—whether you opt for the authentic Sri Lankan spread or the continental option, it’s guaranteed to satisfy every palate. Wildescape Guesthouse is truly a haven for relaxation and culinary excellence. We can’t wait to return!

The reason to come here is that front porch. The rest of the cabin is small but functional. Give yourself a few hours to stay there and watch the animals of the lake. We were braced for clouds of insects, but there weren't many, maybe we got lucky. We also went for the morning lake tour which was fantastic. Excellent breakfast as well. The host was really helpful and easy to get ahold of.

We are a family from the UK who visited Sri Lanka for a holiday. While searching for a good apartment or villa near the temples and relics in the Polonnaruwa area, we came across this little gem. Pearl White was one of only two properties available for our chosen dates. At first, we were a bit hesitant to book, as it was a recently listed property with just two reviews, both from local visitors. However, I decided to reach out to the property, and I was able to connect directly with the owner, Sisira. He was kind enough to explain the facilities in detail and share valuable insights about the place. Our conversation gave us a very good understanding and helped build our confidence in choosing Pearl White over the other options. It turned out to be a fantastic decision! We thoroughly enjoyed our two-night stay and we booked the entire villa. The location is excellent, very close to the town centre and major heritage sites. The villa itself is spacious, cozy, and exceptionally clean from the beds and linen to the toilets. Everything was well-maintained. We found every little convenience available, from matchboxes and a lit barbecue to massage bathtubs. I highly recommend this property without any hesitation, and we would definitely love to return. Special thanks to Sisira for taking such good care of us and always being reachable via WhatsApp whenever we needed anything.

*Dear "Pearl White Residency -Polonnaruwa"* I wanted to provide feedback on my recent stay at your hotel with my family on March 04, 2025. Overall, I had a wonderful stay with my family, and it was an amazing experience. The full area was very calm and we were so relaxed. I was surprised really about your property and how amazing place that it was located. That made my day, honestly. I had visited your city several times and stayed in numerous hotels within your property range, but I could not find another property that gave us with the services you did. The check-in process went smoothly, and the staff were nice and accommodating. My room was very clean and comfortable. The food was delicious, and everything was really clean. The food quality was so good. Some dishes were excellent. The breakfast options were extremely good, and we had, like, enjoyed a lot. I mean, everything was better than we expected in a good way. I appreciate your efforts in making our stay enjoyable, and I hope this feedback will help you improve your services. I look forward to visiting your hotel again and experiencing all the other changes that you are planning to do in the future.

    Very welcoming and friendly manager of a family-run resort that has been thought out really well. Beautiful, relaxing little park around the pool, with nice lighting at night. Our 2 days stay at this place was the most relaxing in our 4 weeks tour through Sri Lanka. Food is good, including breakfast buffet.

    Wonderful family, a day early (according to tradition, a day before Singalese New Years Eve) they involved us in the lighting of fireworks, ‘to bring us back to our childhood’ as they said. The son also works as a guide and can answer any questions you have, speaks English very well.

    First of all, I want to thank you for everything, you treated us as family. I can’t describe with words your hospitality, your generosity and your kindness. Thanks, on the other hand, to your friends who were so nice with us too. If you come to Spain, don’t hesitate to contact us, you have now some friends here! Wish you the best, you don’t deserve less.

    Fantastic! We thoroughly enjoyed visiting with our family. We could not have felt more welcome and the evening meals were, in the children’s words, the ‘best in Sri Lanka’. We agree! Thank you so so much for a lovely two days.
