This is a truly magical place. It is in the most beautiful, secluded setting with stunning views across the valley. We were at Strathisla for 3 nights and 4 days and it was well and truly worth it. While we were using it as a base to explore nearby Kandy and Sigiriya, we could easily have just hung out at Strathisla for its truly peaceful environment and amazing service. Morthy and Jaku looked after us so beautifully and arranged trips and a driver for us, with Jaku taking us on a walk around the village and sharing his knowledge about the local flora and fauna we saw. The food was absolutely incredible: each night we had at least 5 different curries and dishes freshly cooked by the excellent chef. I might actually say it was the best food we had in Sri Lanka. For some old school charm, incredible views and wonderful people, Strathisla is perfect. It is not a modern house so please don’t expect all the latest tech or facilities like air con, but this is what made it so epic.

I was positively surprised. It was actually one of the top accommodations for me in Sri Lanka. I liked everything about it. Especially the comfort and every detail of the room. The bed, the pillows, the armchair, the wardrobe, the desk, the lights, the kettle. Super clean. Very soundproof and quiet, which is quite important to me. Dilini is super nice, speaks English extremely well and is also interesting to talk to. And it was the perfect balance of helpfulness and privacy, which I appreciate. The restaurant across the street has great food for a good price. I was also able to go for some beautiful walks in the surrounding neighbourhood. I would book here again if I am in the area.

Sarath and his wife Deepthi are the most delightful hosts.
We had a wonderful time staying in their beautiful home in the jungle.
We had a steam massage (highly recommended) and Sarath took us for walks around his spice plantation.
It’s a beautiful place to unwind and chill, and you are looked after so well.
Deepthi’s cooking is amazing.
Wish we could have stayed longer!

Our stay at Gammaduwa Heritage Bungalow was wonderful. It is an experience that should not be missed. The views were stunning, the host was convivial, the staff were attentive, and the food was sublime. We were sorry to leave.

We had a truly amazing experience here. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we were happy and comfortable. The food was amazing and the chef made sure the spice levels was too our liking. The pool overlooking the mountains was truly magical and was the icing on the cake for this wonderful property. We wish we had more time here.

Clean and tidy, with a peaceful environment, a good location, and close to town.
The host provided excellent service.
Guesthouse is incredibly clean and well-maintained. We truly enjoyed the delicious breakfast they provided, especially the fresh fruits, Sri lankan meals, and the fresh juices.
The bathroom was spotless, which we greatly appreciated.
We will always remember our stay here fondly and highly recommend Pearls Homestay to anyone visiting Matale.
Superb place, and the best homestay we stayed at. The hosts were very humble and kind. The place was only 1 km away from the bus stand, however, was very calm and peaceful. Separate access, private kitchen area, spacious room, and the balcony area was nice. Almost everything, felt like home because of the warm welcome by the hosts. Thank you Pearl's homestay.
Irene’s Home is an absolute gem! A gorgeous Walauwwa/heritage house nestled in the heart of Matale, with mountains as a backdrop.
We were there for just an overnight stay, and I loved every moment.
A beautifully maintained property, with a charming couple as caretakers - that lady can cook! We had a typical Sri Lankan breakfast, and her dhal curry was a visual feast - and the flavours matched the visual expectations.
I would definitely revisit, if I’m ever back in Matale!
Blessings, and much success to Irene’s Home🙏🏽
We had a wonderfully quiet and relaxing stay here, with our standout experience being the fantastic cooking class we took with the owner’s wife whose recipes we’ll cherish for a long time. Lovely to get some clean air, kick back in an old tea plantation house and enjoy the views and nature.
Ended up cancelling on the spot- the host keeps no outside lights on, because he is supposed to be closed and he fears the neighbors finding out that he is quietly accepting guests on booking.com. A very creepy place and a real jerk of a host.
I highly recommend staying at this charming remote house in Sri Lanka. Nestled away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it offers a tranquil escape surrounded by stunning gardens. The host goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay, even saving the day by organizing scooter rentals for us. And let's not forget about the delicious food served, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to our experience. It's the perfect retreat for anyone seeking relaxation and adventure in equal measure.
Thank you so much!
Stunning view, quiet, next to nature but not far from city centre. Everything is completely new, room is spacious. Family was extremely friendly and we talked a lot about agriculture, government and other Sri Lankan problems.
