Find Hotels in Matale, Sri Lanka

Superb. So quiet after the bustle and noise of Kandy. A special place, worthy of its conservation status. Exploring the hills around and seeing the remains of coffee, pine, cardamom and tea plantations was fascinating, as was the village walk across rise paddies and past huts with carefully kept yards and vegetable gardens. You can come here and do nothing, or do lots. Beautiful food, wonderful service, great books on the fauna and flora, and the staff know how to take care of their guests. A very special place indeed.

The manager, Hector, has a long experience in hotels and cruises. In 2011 he opened this 4-room small hotel after renovating a old house given by his brother. He likes guests to feel at home and enjoy quietness, natural surroundings and mountain view. Dropping off the main road, after 5 minutes drive, the hotel is isolatedly located on a hillside and is overlooking villages, paddy fields and Knuckles mountains. Sri Lankan dinner and breakfast are nicely served in reasonable price. Recommended for those who like to have a comfortable home stay.

Kudaoya Villa is a place to rest. (No wifi). Just endjoy the nature. It is not hot at the Kudaoya Villa, somethimes in the morning it is misty. The rooms are big, clean and a nice (and clean) bathroom. We have reserved the luxe hotelroom with the living/television room. The staff is very friendly, helpfull and they cooked everthing what we liked. Kudaoya Villa is not a hotel but a big villa with 8 nice bedrooms. They have a nice livingroom and a big diningroom (for the visitors). A big terras in the front of every room and a nice well maintained garden with a very beautifull view. You have also a swimmingpool and a little playground for the children. You can make nice walks in the area/hills. Famlily Rama from Holland, 13-16 Aug. 2013

Jayakumera & Priya (the Sri Lankan managers) made our stay at Strathisla Tea Estate an unforgettable one. Their personalised service, incredible Sri Lankan home cooking & wealth of knowledge of the area made us appreciate this place so much more. The rooms could certianly use an upgrade - we felt they were below our expectations for the price we were paying. The room was without A/C, limited toiletries supplied, shower head sprayed everywhere but upon our bodies, the bed was not overly comfortable, and the bedding & towels could have used a revamp. However, the food we ate throughout our stay was incredible, Priya does an amazing job of cooking traditional Sri Lankan food for the guests. Jayakumera was a wonderful host, which makes it hard to criticise the

In the middle of a 15acre spics garden, stands this adorable farm house. I have not been to a more cleaner, more organized hotel room than Zee's in my life. The amnities provided were over the roof. They had provided everything a traveller needs, from a microwave, tea/coffee making facilities, bath/shower products, extra towels, emergency medicine, crockey & cutlery, slippers, candles, flashlights, power cables and board games!!! etc. The room, bathroom, dining/chilling area was exceptionally clean! The owners and caretaker checked up on us to give directions to the location, and to ensure we had a comfortable stay. The breakfast was simply dilicious!! They have kitchen facilities, should you prefer to make your own meals. We didn't have enoug time, but the caretaker Palitha told us that we should try out the morning walk around the spice garden. A breath of fresh air, with a lots of greenery! Anyone looking for an escape from the busy world should definetely try this place!
