We had the nicest Host and the best stay! Everything was clean and fresh. We would definitely come here again. Thank you!

There was no hot water for shower and the water pressure was low. Also, there was a constant unpleasant smell in the room, not sure due to what. I stayed in the first floor room.

The staff were friendly and responsive when asked for help. The view of the Ella Rock was fabulous. There were good facilities from fridge, kettle and cloth hanger. The room was spacious and clean. The location was close to the city center, although it was on a hill and little steady to go up walking.

The room we stayed in was on the top and only a few months old. It is absolutely beautiful with 4 posted beds covered with quality mossie nets. The balcony is to die for and huge. It has a large dining table and chairs and a couple of wooden lounging chairs. It has expansive views over the valley and you can spot the train in the distance. Very quiet place. The hosts are amazing and so helpful arranging tours and washing of clothes. The breakfast is huge and delicious. By far exceeds other accomodation for similar money. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

The shower water power was weak.

Nestled in a very green area with a beautiful terrace overlooking Ella's rock.

- our front door was broken and only secured with a small lock - the bathroom door was also broken and couldn’t be closed - the sink tap was leaking If these things get fixed, the room would be perfect.

- location is great, 5 minutes to the main road, close/walkable distance to Little Adam’s Peak & Nine Arches Bridge. We also hiked to Ella Rock from the homestay - big balcony with a view on Ella Rock (blocked by a coconut tree but didn’t bother us) - comfortable bed with mosquito net - hot water shower

Homestay is on the very steep little hill. We were on the ground floor. The water pump is loud and if it is raining the noise is like in construction place - rain is hiting the metal plate above the bathroom window. You cant close the bathroom window.

Terrace with the view. Comfort beds. Price. They provide laundry service ( 800 lrk for 1 kg). Ella is cute little town.

We enjoyed the balocny with the nice view. Having breakfast there was just lovely. It was quite a lot though :-) It was a very friendly, familiar vibe - we can recommend this place definitely!

I like everything about this property. The top view, the rooms and everything. It was really perfect and host is very friendly.

nothing!! everything was great.

So so beautiful! The accomodation was exceptionally clean, large and even had a mini fridge which was great to keep water cold! The space was private, had a beautiful view onto the mountains and felt so peaceful. Was extremely well located with a beautiful walk to see the 9 Arch Bridge, do a cooking class and visit Ella. Chandani made the stay so amazing, such a beautiful family!

The breakfast situation was confusing because we were told it was 500lkr per pax and we repeated the number to the host, because 500 sounded too good to be true, to which he responded yes it's was 500 per person for the breakfast. But when it came to paying, we realised it was 1500lkr per person (still reasonable btw because it was an exceent spread) but we were surprised. Wouldn't have taken the breakfast offer if we knew the actual price as we didn't have enough cash prepped. BUT, the host's mom said that we could just pay the price we were told so all was fine. Despite the miscommunication (hopefully that was what it was), I still felt quite bad because the breakfast and the service was great.

The space was great, location not the most convenient but Ella is small so it doesn't actually matter. Note that is it on a hill.

It is located up a very steep hill. Not an issue for us but if you have mobility issues, this might be tricky. Water pressure not great. But still had to give 10/10 as it is brand new, very clean, with some added touches like bath mats, mosquito net, tea/coffee/hair dryer etc that makes it stand out and being excellent for the price.

Brand new. Amazing value for money. Brand new tiles and fittings throughout. Very close to the town but on a side road so not noisy. Comfortable bed and bedding(nice to have a light duvet instead of just a sheet. We had a very comfortable stay. Guy working there helped us with our heavy bags up the stairs, too. Tea, coffee, hair dryer provided. Nice balcony with table and chairs.

After living abroad as an expat long time, I finally felt home with this beautiful family. We arrived in very rainy day, and woke up to beautiful breakfast in our private balcony with beautiful Ella views. It was calm but only 3 to 4 minutes walk from Ella center. The room was spotless clean, bed has curtain around so you can sleep at night with the doors open while enjoying beautiful weather of Ella, and you don't have to be worried about the mosquitoes. Additionally, I have to say couple sentences about the spectacular breakfast. We were asked which time we would prefer to have our breakfast, and they were more punctual than even big chain hotels, served to our doorstep with full pot of amazing Ceylon tea. The breakfast contains egg hoppers, coconut samba, dhal curry, fruits and beautiful Sri Lankan Crepes. (excuse me I couldn't recall the name of the delicacy) We even requested to have a dinner there, since it was one of the best home cook meals we had in Sri Lanka. Eventually, we prolonged our stay since it was one of the rare relaxing stays of our 15-days Sri Lanka trip. We sincerely hope to come back to stay with them.

Great location outside of the noisy town.

Situated about a 5 mins walk from Ella centre, but set back from the road in a lovely quiet spot, looking out towards Ella Rock. This is a perfect location for some peace and quiet but close enough to Ella for all the restaurants and bars. The room was lovely and clean, with a nice big bed, a fan, good wifi and an amazing terrace with great views. The hosts are very friendly and attentive. We opted for the breakfast every day, and it was enormous and very very tasty. So big in fact, we had to save some of it to eat instead of buying lunch out. I would thoroughly recommend a stay here, and would stay again if we ever revisited Ella.

The shower wasn’t the best

The wifi is not the best but ofcourse during your vacation you are mostly out of the door and don’t need it

Very comfortable and clean

Decent place to stay for a night.

Ella is quite humid, making it necessary to air the room often. Mold in the room, especially in the bathroom.

Short 5 min or so walk distance to the main street in city centre. Nice balcony with a view of the mountains (though view was obstructed by a large coconut tree). The family is adorable, especially the mother, who makes the most amazing breakfast (best we've had in Sri Lanka) with large portion size

Close to the town center, yet you can't hear any of it's noise. If you are looking for a place, where you can enjoy lovely view over the mountains, privacy of your own room with terrace and bathroom and good WiFi connection, this is one of the best facilities that we stayed at in Sri Lanka. Breakfast for 1500 Rs/head was delicious and could feed a small village and the host was so kind she even prepared a little package for us to go when we had to leave for an early train - for free! Really and truly recommended!
