The hotel is in a beautiful location with a spectacular view from the restaurant and pool area. The breakfast is varied and delicious with a selection of continental and Sri Lanka dishes. We also had a lunch meal which was excellent, particularly the curry. The staff are very accommodating and the rooms are large and comfortable.

This place is unbelievable. Perfect location to be away from traffic in Ella and the hospitality was outstanding. Brought us a bottle of wine for our honeymoon and made us tea every night before bed. Breakfast was delicious and all for a unbelievable price.

Lovely large bright room with floor to ceiling windows looking out across a valley. Great shower and comfortable bed. The hosts very kind and helpful. Location was good for stages 13 and 14 combined of the pekoe trail. It’s a 15min walk to Heel Oya rail station and from there you can get the early train to the start of stage 13 at Haputale. Stage 14 ends at Makulella and from there it’s a short tuk tuk ride back to the hotel.

Very nice and helpful owner and staff, we felt very welcomed! :) Room was modern and nicely furnished with a great view into the hills. We loved the relaxing and quiet atmosphere a bit far from Ella town. Good a la carte breakfast where you can choose from Continental with egg or Sri Lankan.

This was probably the best accommodation we had in Sri Lanka. The owner was very kind. We rented a tuktuk going to Ella. He drove our tuktuk going to his place, bought us dinner from the city, and cooked us a very sumptuous breakfast. The place was amazing. Although it had no a/c, we were still able to sleep well at night. Apparently, there were not much bugs during our stay there. The place is just beside the famous Asanka Cafe.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Moon Rock, and I must say, it was an absolute delight! The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. But what truly impressed me was the host's thoughtfulness and attention to detail. We had an early start the next day for a long journey to Colombo, and the host kindly prepared breakfast for us ahead of schedule. But that wasn't all - they also packed a snack and water for us to take on the road! This kind gesture was completely unexpected and truly appreciated. It's clear that the host genuinely cares about their guests' comfort and well-being. The hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with all the necessary amenities. But it's the host's exceptional hospitality and thoughtful touches that truly set Hotel Moon Rock apart. If you're looking for a warm and welcoming place to stay, I highly recommend Hotel Moon Rock!

    It's a beautiful place on top of the mountains, surrounded by mountains and clouds, just like in a heave. Food was delicious 😋 I can never forget the rice and curry bowl I had at Serenite. It's a perfect place for peace, that relaxes your senses. Ravana waterfall is a must to visit.

    Very friendly and vibrant town. The walk up Ella Rock is a must, but make sure you look at an online guide first. We got lost on the way up adding several difficult km's of walking. The trip out to Lipton's seat is worth it for the views along the way as well as from the seat itself. The train to NanuOya is also well worth the ticket price.

    Ella is a small town with breathtaking views and well organized place for tourists, If you are a nature lover and looking for a good quality time of enjoying hikes / mountains / zip lines / pictures with your family for a good prize , Ella is the place. Very safe for solo travelers too. Don't expect 5 stay luxury restaurants / high class bars etc. Lots of sign boards around guiding tourists to select the places they like to visit. Tuk tuk prizes are fixed for most places. don't forget to take a dip in fresh waters Ella offers in high mountain water falls.

    Walking to Ella Rock and Little Adam's Peak are well worth it, as was walking to nine arch bridge to see the train coming across it with tourists either side of the tracks. We wished we had another day or so, as wanted to visit a tea factory and take a guided hike in the surrounding countryside.

    If you are into luxury stays and instagram quality rooms this place is not for you. This place is.very affordable, cosy, family run house that is directly in the city of Ella. Rooms are adequate with.ensuite in all three rooms. Large fridge is available. Sudha, the owner, is lovely and spent time to chat with us. She is.very friendly and helpful and also prepares the awesome breakfasts we had. It is a two minute walk to the centre and four minutes to the train station. Highly recommend.

    Amazing views down through the valley. The staff were really nice and helpful. Everything was very clean - bedrooms and pool etc. The overall environment was very nice. Breakfast buffet was fantastic with a great variety of fruit, eggs, waffles, cereal, iced coffee and much more! Short walk in to Ella town. We really enjoyed this little treat of a spot, it’s slightly more expensive than places around but very worth it. Felt like a luxury stay in Sri Lanka.

    We absolutely loved our stay at nine arch gap. It’s a lovely family run hotel with unbelievable views over nine arch bridge. It’s a little out of Ella town, but this isn’t a problem because the views are worth it and the owners offer a Tuktuk service for a small fee. We stayed in multiple places around Sri Lanka during our trip and this by far had the best views. The family are lovely people with a gorgeous dog to top it 🥰

    This is a really lovely homestay! It is clean and comfortable and a wonderful haven oasis in the jungle, away from the hectic main road of Ella town. This is not a 5* luxury hotel, it's a clean and comfortable room part of a family's home. It is a little walk - 20 minutes on hilly bumpy road - from the main town, but for me it was perfect. You are already on the way to climb ella rock! I really enjoyed my stay here.

    The views from our room (306) were absolutely breathtaking. The hotel is peaceful and quiet, which is a top priority for us—and features an amazing terrace overlooking Ella Rock. We highly recommend catching the sunrise from your room or the terrace for a truly unforgettable experience. The breakfast buffet at the Sky Bar was good, offering a mix of Sri Lankan and continental options.
