  Hotel Hideaway Garage Review score: 8

  “Antonio and sanita are very friendly and welcoming hosts. The room was big enough with a double bed and private bathroom. İts just in the middle of the jungle so you will see many different birds and trees. Good place for chilling.”

  Mahee Villa & Ayurvedic Spa Review score: 10

  “Everything! The place is nice and the staff is lovely. We really enjoyed the breakfast and dinner, and especially the Sri Lankan specialties. We enjoyed the good (hot) water pressure. Nice to have an outdoor area in front of our bedroom. Would have loved to stay longer.”

  Lotus Eco Villa Review score: 8

  “Friendly host and great location! Very cool staying in a treehouse with AC, fan and access to the newly built pool. Would have loved a kettle and fridge but again not bad just could improve our stay - host was accommodating and insisted on bringing a teapot to room upon request.”

  Pearl's Homestay Matale Review score: 10

  “When my driver edged up the narrow-inclined driveway of this very modern home, I didn’t know what to expect. But Pearle and her husband Ranjan greeted me with broad smiles and open arms. After they had retired, they built this sophisticated home on their family’s property. Since the terrain of Matale is mostly mountainous, their home is perched up high on a small hill, allowing a beautiful view of the city from their wide terrace. Communication was swift and efficient as their daughter fielded email questions from the UK. English was spoken perfectly by all members of the family, so no worries for any miscommunication. I had arrived in the late afternoon and Pearle offered me tea. Ranjan returned with some short eats and we sat around chatting. The conversation was easy and I felt like I was visiting good friends for the afternoon. My room was located just off their living room with an adjacent bathroom with contemporary fixtures – it felt like I was in a fancy hotel! The stylish room with extremely high ceilings was spacious and tastefully decorated with an enormous mosquito net tied with ribbons around the large four poster bed. There is a portable air conditioner/fan which was not really needed as the evenings are usually cool and temperate. Breakfast was a luxurious feast with red rice string hoppers, potato curry, dal, green gram and a delicious, spicy chicken curry. Watermelon, pineapple, and sweet juicy papaya from their garden rounded out the meal. After retirement, Pearle turned her interests to cooking and she is certainly an accomplished cook! My only regret was staying only one night and will certainly come back for a longer visit!”

  The Hideout Sigiriya Review score: 6

  “Unique experience and waking up early to the sunrise over the fields from the treehouse was incredible. The pool is fab, staff are really friendly and food from restaurant is great. Was a fun venue for my little girl (4).”

  Sigiriya Water Cottage Review score: 9

  “Probably the biggest room we had in Sri Lanka and very well equipped: fridge, sink, bathtub, outdoor area. The property is quite big and the garden/pool area is beautiful. Everyone was very friendly and helpful, they allowed us to rent a scooter for our stay which made everything so much easier. There are maybe 3 or 4 restaurants with easy access by foot but the rest of the food options were slightly further. The WIFI was very good, which is sometimes quite hard to find. The breakfast was good to and kept us going for a few hours.”
