Reviews of Ella value village

Large bed in the mountains. Friendly staff. Nice breakfast. Calm place. Restaurant above.

Very good location & delicious breakfast

The place is very quiet and just 8 minutes drive from ella center. The hospitality was great, the breakfast is very generous and everything is very fresh and tasty. The place have such a good vibe and the family running the business is the nicest. For the price point its an amazing option.

Water pressure can be better

No have hot water

The family were really nice and welcoming and the breakfast was good.

We’ve stayed in many budget hotels and appreciate not to expect too much for the money, but our room was full of mould and smelled mouldy, even my clothes ended up damp and smelling of mould, as did the bed and the curtains had mould on too and I woke up coughing. There were missing lightbulbs, many plug sockets not working, the door felt like it was going yo come out of the frame, the pillows were so old and lumpy, not sure the blanket on the bed was washed, the shower just spat out water from lots of different places, the sink was mouldy. I could go on. It was very poor, even for what we paid for it. We couldn’t wait to leave.

Basic room with a very big bed. Bathroom with hot water. A bit out of the city center (5-8min by tuktuk), but we liked the calmness. Friendly family with two very social kids. They have a restaurant above the rooms, with nice breakfast and lunch/dinner.

There were some big mold/humidity stains on the wall next to the bathroom…

Big room, clean and comfortable. It is run by a lovely family, and on the rooftop, they have a restaurant.

No hot water.

They provided complimentary breakfast which was very tasty and the response and service was very good

The stay is good overall but the place even though a hill stations isn't much cooler and as there is no fan it felt bit uncomfortable

You get what is promised. Lovely family that receives you and tries to accommodate all your wishes in a very tailored way. High value for little money. We (family with five children) stayed three nights including breakfast, and each breakfast we got something different, it was prepared with lots of care, to give us a new experience each time. I can warmly recommend Ella Value Village.

For us, we liked everything, but do not expect warm water or quick wifi.

I stayed for 2 nights in mid-April. The place is run by a kind and welcoming family. The room was spacious and very clean. Although the location is a bit far from town and requires a tuktuk to get around, it was perfect for me as I could enjoy the peaceful surroundings and beautiful nature of Ella. The restaurant is located upstairs, where I had delicious local food for both breakfast and dinner. What impressed me the most was the owners’ two young sons who seemed in elementary school. They explained everything about the guesthouse and meals in fluent and polite English. They were incredibly cute and amazing!

No heater

Very friendly family business a big clean room with a balcony surrounded by nature, delishes breakfast and very tasty dinner available in the restaurant in the evening. I can enthusiasticly recommend this homestay

Very friendly and pleasant hosts, nice clean bright room. And a delicious breakfast. All this for a very pleasant price.

Lovely location up the hill outside of the town - if you want to be in the town this is not the place for you - it was convenient for the Ella Rock trek which started not too far from the accommodation without having to walk back in to town to the train station. Super friendly family who were keen to help us with everything. The provided evening meal at a reasonable price. The breakfast was delicious. The room was large and comfortable.

Not much of a view from the accommodation as there is a building in front of the rooms, blocking the view of the surrounding countryside.

The host is the owner of the property and he was very accommodating and friendly. We had checked in around 1.30 at late night. Nevertheless, he waited for us and made sure we had a comfortable stay

The host and his family is friendly and helpful. Cooked us a delicious dinner and breakfast Rooms comfortable Located Less than 5 minutes drive to Ella but in a quiet and residential area

Nothing

Comfortable clean ensuite room with a shaded balcony area. Managed to get a hot shower, which is something that I haven't achieved everywhere in Sri Lanka. Run a friendly young family who served up a tasty breakfast that was included in the room price and good value evening meals. A quiet location away from Ella centre which suited me fine.

No chairs on the balcony outside of the room, The location is about 30 minutes uphill walk from the railway station and town. It didn't bother me but worth noting that it's either that or a tuk tuk ride. Obviously it's a downhill walk into town!!
