Reviews of Divine View Homestay

We had everything we needed here and felt very comfortable. The view of the mountains from the terrace in front of the apartment (you can see Little Adams Peak) is wonderful, and you are practically sitting in the owner's garden with avocado trees and lots of fruit. The room is very large and well equipped. Everything worked perfectly. The delicious breakfast, which was served to us on the terrace in the morning, left nothing to be desired. If you want to go hiking in Ella, you can start right behind the house (where the railroad tracks run). The owner is happy to give tips on excursions and hikes in the area.

If people have trouble walking up steep streets and stairs, this may not be the best location. It didn't bother us. The house is within walking distance of the center, but as I said, it's in a very steep area. However, you can also take a taxi. We found it nicer up here than in the super touristy center of Ella. It's also very quiet and peaceful here (and the trains don't pass by the house often, so they do not really disturb).

Everything was perfect!! Amazing host and place

Breakfast was excellent, the view is amazing (can see where the name comes from), location less than 10m walk to shops & restaurants but still quiet and peaceful. There are very nice hikes in the area (such as Ella Rock and Pekoe Trails 15 and 16).

It's possible to reach by van, but since the road is narrow, easier to get there on foot or by tuktuk

Excellent stay

Excellent stay

The family running the place are amazing, super friendly and really helpful. The place was spotless and the view was the most incredible I’ve ever seen. In the case I ever come back, I will certainly come back to here!

Amazing view, great breakfast, very clean!

Everything, but specially the views and the amazing breakfast

Everything was perfect

Amazing view from the balcony. You can see waterfall and mountains 🫠 and lot of animals

Spacious and clean room. It has a terrace with a beautiful panoramic view of the waterfall and a small table where you can have breakfast. Choice between Sri Lankan and Western breakfast—both are good. Friendly and helpful staff.

Due to the panoramic view, the property is not on the main street but on an uphill side road. In any case, the town center is within walking distance (or can be reached by tuk-tuk if preferred)

Amazing view from the balcony! Yummy breakfast 🥞.

Bathroom need a bit of renovation

So far, this was our best stay in Sri Lanka! The room is very nice, with a very very big bed, a nice bathroom and even a working refrigerator. The owners were also really sweet and helped us with laundry (for only 500 roepies) and provided us each morning with an amazing breakfast with fresh fruit, juice and toast with fried eggs and avocado (I think from their own garden, as we saw several avocado trees). And of course the amazing view of the ella rock and little adam’s peak you can see while in bed. The location is also great, as it is only a 15 minute walk by road or a 10 minute walk over the train tracks. Overall, this was an amazing experience and we would definitely recommend to stay here if you visit Ella!

Our only note is that there wasn’t an AC. But we didn’t mind at all as there is a big fan pointed at the bed and it isn’t that hot in Ella.

Large, clean, beautiful rooms with a refrigerator and tea/coffee corner. Amazing breakfast with a stunning view of the mountains and waterfall. Special thanks to the staff for their unobtrusiveness.

Nothing

The view is as advertised, absolutely stunning! Big clean and comfortable room, the owner was very kind and helpful and even assisted us in renting a scooter, the breakfast was also fantastic. Don't let the location put you off it is only a very short walk to the town center and restaurants along the railway tracks.

Everything was great!!

Beautiful view, comfortable bed and only a short walk into town. Delicious breakfast also!

Staff were friendly and quite helpful View is really nice Hot water in shower Good start point for Ella Rock walk Quiet and pleasant to sit and chill on balcony Breakfast was standard for Sri Lanka but still really nice. Large bed! Most comfortable one I've had on this trip

You can hear people speaking in the next room (not too bad but a little). Communication with the owner was a little tricky and there were some misunderstandings. Laundry didn't clean and came out a bit smelly.
