Documents needed to travel to Poland

Hello, I am visiting a friend in Poland soon and just want to check what documents I would need to pass through the border. I've tried searching but various websites keep giving slightly different information. Was wondering if anyone had any experience of this. 

For the accommodation, I'm spending some time at my friend's house and some time in a hotel if that matters.

    Just your passport. Presuming you are a UK citizen. 
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Thank you. That was the website I trusted the most considering it is a government website, but still was concerned as different websites said I needed a few other things as well

    I visited Krakow a couple of months ago and didn’t need anything else.

    Only known it to be wrong once and that was at the height of covid when things were moving quickly and indeed if you went to the governmental website of the country I was travelling to it gave conflicting rules on different pages. 

    In more regular times its a very good source if you are a British citizen with a UK passport (sounds over prescriptive but those in overseas territories like Bermuda also get a British Passport but different to the ones from the UK and countries treat them differently).

    Which other websites are you referring to, and what makes you consider them credible?

    At the moment, just a passport.

    Poland reserves the right to check accommodation, funds (about 75zl/day and return flight/3000zl for one) and etc, however in reality for British passport holders this is rarely enforced.

    The Polish border has always been fast, efficient and professional.
