Overlooking stunning nature views, Strathisla Guest House features an outdoor swimming pool and barbecue facilities. Guests can also enjoy free Wi-Fi access at all areas of the property.

Outstanding location for views, nature and tranquility. Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Food the best on our trip so far. The house has authentic charm rather than luxury but this made the experience more special.

Providing garden views, Gammaduwa Heritage Bungalow and Tea Gardens in Matale features accommodations, free bikes, and a garden.

The Gammaduwa Bungalow, nestled in the serene hills, offers a magical retreat amidst lush tea gardens. I drove a tuk-tuk, and while the climb was steep, the destination was truly worth it. I took a wrong turn along the way and got slightly lost, but that’s the best thing that can happen to you in Sri Lanka. 🙂 Upon arrival, you’re greeted by tastefully decorated interiors and the inviting aroma of sumptuous food. The fresh air and tranquil surroundings create a soul-cleansing experience that lingers long after your stay. The excellent service adds to the charm, making every moment feel special. At Gammaduwa Bungalow, time seems to stand still, inviting you to cast away your cares and immerse yourself in the natural beauty and serenity of this hidden gem.

Providing garden views, Irene's Home in Matale provides accommodations and a garden. This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking.

This was an unexpected find in Matale. A bit off the beaten path, but an easy walk or trishaw ride to town. Its location was a plus since it was peaceful and serene. The owner helped arrange a guide to Knuckles Forest Reserve. The meals were also delicious and authenticity Sri Lankan. We would definitely stay here again.

    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.

    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!

    The host was extremely helpful, organising us a great day around Knuckles Range hiking, bathing in a river and visiting temples. We had an amazing stay, with the best tuk-tuk driver and the host coming around with us explaining everything! In the guest house we Learned how to cook a great Sri Lanka breakfast, which was incredible. And it felt like home with parents/ grandparents during the whole time. We absolutely recommend this place and the hosts!

    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.
