It was a superb stay! In my opinion the newly built studio apparent-like room is something rare to come by, especially in this area. The view and the food was also great.

We were so lucky to stay with Ranja and his wife Pearl. They are a lovely couple and will spoil you enormously. They will do the best they can to organise everything you like. For example, Ranja helped us find a local scooter to rent, as there was no place to rent scooters in Matale. Nothing seemed too much. They were like parents or grand parents to us. Also, the place is so beautiful! Bird sounds, balcony, monkeys and a super view, it's all there.

Sometimes you stay at an accomodation and sometimes you come across a home like this. This homestay exceeded our expectations. Pearly and her husband were like family as we stepped into their home. Everything is cared for (amazing breakfast, trips to knuckles and any other place nearby). It was hard to leave this morning. Looking for a place home away from home? Look no further!

It's a serene and cozy hideaway with tranquil surroundings, and the spectacular view from the terrace enhances the allure of this delightful stay. The holiday home is spacious and comfortable, complete with a well-equipped kitchenette featuring a refrigerator and electric kettle. Every detail, from the amenities to the facilities, was flawless and surpassed my expectations. I was able to explore some of the attractions in Matale such as Riverston, Pitawala Pathana and Aluviharaya Rock Cave Temple while staying in here. The host extends a warm welcome and is incredibly friendly and hospitable. He provided valuable insights about attractions in Matale and was instrumental in planning my itinerary. Moreover, the breakfast served was a culinary masterpiece in itself.

Breakfast was amazing. Pearl and Ranjan were excellent hosts nothing was too much trouble. They organised a tuk driver for me and Ranjan even came to the train station on my departure. The room was perfect and the bed very comfortable. I would happily recommend this homestay - a perfect retreat.

This felt like staying with Grandma and Grandpa. We felt very welcome and at home throughout our stay, hosts are very friendly and happy to help in anyway they can. We extended our stay so that we could do a tour around the hosts local village which was beautiful and so worthwhile. We also were able to cook dinner in their kitchen which was lovely and a nice change as we have both been traveling for a while. Highly recommend staying at Pearl’s Homestay.

I can confirm all the praise here for the place, the hosts and the breakfasts, which indeed are the best I had on my long journey through Sri Lanka. Pearl's homestay has two accommodations. One is a nice guest room in the owner's house, the other is that big separate loft, which rightly gets more bravos. I stayed in both. Both offer big terraces with a lovely view over Matale. The loft is a bit more expensive but well worth the higher price. Matale is a lively little town, more for the experienced Sri Lanka voyager. The spice garden is well worth visiting, if you want to see how those many Sri Lankan spices are grown. The real fun starts if you explore the mountains around by scooter. The silver temple about 40 km away is just lovely. The waterfalls, Riverdale and high mountains beyond are nice too, if you can take long rides on very bumpy roads. The owners managed to find me a scooter to rent.

The most extraordinary experience of genuine and friendly hospitality. We enjoyed staying in the house of Pearl and Rajan very, very much. The house is beautifully situated, with views over the valley. Rajan showed us his village, we met a lot of his family members there while he patiently explained and showed us about the growth and care of various kinds. Pearl told us about the life of the people in Sri Lanka, the educational system and much much more. But most of all they were so amazingly friendly that I really hope to get the joy of meeting them again ❤️
