It was a very clean and beautiful accommodation. The garden has a mango tree and we even saw some monkeys. A few steps away is a local vegetable and fruit market, we enjoyed. Breakfast and dinner was amazing! It was cooked by the hosts. They even helped us to buy something we lost on our journey and what is very hard to get in this area of Sri Lanka. Additionally we got great sight seeing insides. This guest house was.perfect for us.

Very quiet and beautiful stay. Spacious room with bathroom and terrace. Friendly and helpful hosts. Very tasty and big homemade dinner (rice and curry). Reasonable price to rent a good bike. Totally recommend to stay and relax. Not far from the old city ( you can go on bike around a lake - very nice ride, also great place to watch sunset and it is just behind the accomodation)

Friendly staff and spotless room. The balcony looking out over the rice paddies was lovely. Rented bikes through them to tour the ancient city. Owner also arranged a eco-park afternoon safari with an excellent driver guide-we had a wonderful elephant experience. Breakfast and dinner were both worthwhile too.

Michele

From

Croatia

The hospitality at this hostel was truly remarkable, with the owners' kindness shining brightly throughout the stay. Their attention to detail and genuine care created a warm and welcoming atmosphere that felt like a home away from home. The cleanliness of the place was unparalleled, ensuring a comfortable and spotless environment in every corner. The highlight, however, was the spacious room complete with a balcony that opened up to a breathtaking view of the jungle. The serene beauty of the lush greenery, combined with the peaceful ambiance, offered a unique and unforgettable experience. This hostel is a gem for those seeking comfort, cleanliness, and a touch of nature's majesty.

Joyce

From

Australia

Tishan is a well-run, welcoming, family-run place, surrounded by rice paddies. The food, especially the curry, is outstanding. The family are helpful with arranging transport and at reasonable prices. The place is peaceful, the pool area pleasant, and at night the frog and insect chorus is delightful. Wonderful.

Nigamuni

From

We are a family from the UK who visited Sri Lanka for a holiday. While searching for a good apartment or villa near the temples and relics in the Polonnaruwa area, we came across this little gem. Pearl White was one of only two properties available for our chosen dates. At first, we were a bit hesitant to book, as it was a recently listed property with just two reviews, both from local visitors. However, I decided to reach out to the property, and I was able to connect directly with the owner, Sisira. He was kind enough to explain the facilities in detail and share valuable insights about the place. Our conversation gave us a very good understanding and helped build our confidence in choosing Pearl White over the other options. It turned out to be a fantastic decision! We thoroughly enjoyed our two-night stay and we booked the entire villa. The location is excellent, very close to the town centre and major heritage sites. The villa itself is spacious, cozy, and exceptionally clean from the beds and linen to the toilets. Everything was well-maintained. We found every little convenience available, from matchboxes and a lit barbecue to massage bathtubs. I highly recommend this property without any hesitation, and we would definitely love to return. Special thanks to Sisira for taking such good care of us and always being reachable via WhatsApp whenever we needed anything.
