Reviews of Little Hideaway Home Stay

Everything. The accommodation was great, the owers very friendly.

We spent three nights at Little Hide away Guest home and were thoroughly impressed. The location is central yet wonderfully quiet, as the guesthouse is tucked away in a side street, well shielded from traffic noise. We stayed in the larger room as a group of three. It was recently renovated, spotlessly clean, and tastefully furnished. Each bed had a mosquito net and a comfortable mattress, we slept very well. The bathroom was modern, very clean, and equipped with everything you need. There was always hot water available, and even a hairdryer was provided. A highlight was the small private balcony where we could enjoy our breakfast each morning. The breakfast itself was lovingly prepared and especially convincing due to the fresh fruit selection. The hosts were incredibly warm and helpful. They were always available with advice and support, making our stay even more enjoyable. We felt completely at home and would come back anytime. Little Hide away Guest home is a place we can fully recommend!

The property was a close walk into town and also up a hill and away from the noise. The owners were the loveliest people so warm and inviting, always smiling and helpful. They helped us get tuk tuks and a private car to Arugam bay at very reasonable prices. Their hospitality was fantastic even with their language barrier and the Sri Lankan breakfast was our favourite so far on our trip. We highly recommend staying there.

The only down side was a damp smell in the room ven though it’s very ventilated and clean, however we would still stay with them if we had the chance.

Relaxed place on a good location. Away from the street, but close enough for walking everywhere within 10 mins. Owner was very welcoming and breakfast is tasty and great value for money.

Wifi was not very good, but that was not a big problem for us.

Everything was great. Where do I even start?! Best location, close to the centre but tucked away in a calm little street. The room was just beautiful, spacious, looked brand new. Came with its own terrace with a wonderful view of Ella Rock. This was the perfect place for breakfast, watching squirrels play in the surrounding trees. The breakfast was just amazing, diverse and very generous. But most of all, the host family was just to friendly, kind and welcoming. They helped with all my questions, my laundry etc. There are many accommodation options in Ella and it took me a long time to decide, but I couldn't have made a better choice. Warmly recommend!

Hosts were lovely and good on the communication. The room was lovely and brand new. Facilities and amenities were excellent and all in good working order. 5 minute stroll into the middle of Ella town. Beautiful view of Ella’s rock from bedroom. All in all, a fantastic stay and would certainly recommend.

To get to the property there is a 150m climb up a bit of a hill. Not unbearable for those fit but those with mobility issues should keep in mind as a tuk tuk would be needed to get in and out. However worth it for the view.

This place exceeded our expectations. The view is absolutely breathtaking – especially from the rooftop, where the owner kindly takes guests to enjoy the stunning mountain scenery. Breakfasts are generous and delicious, prepared with care and full of flavor. The room is equipped with everything you might need for a comfortable stay – a kettle, tea, WiFi, hairdryer, and more. There’s also a laundry service available on-site, which is a great convenience. The hosts are incredibly kind, helpful, and always open for a friendly conversation, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. A perfect spot to relax and enjoy the beauty of the surroundings.

Excellent breakfast, very comfortable room with mosquito net. Friendly hosts.

Although very close to Ella center, the property is located on top of a very steep road. The shower was not very hot.

The host and his family are very kind and helpful! Especially the breakfast was amazing!! The house is not far from the center. We enjoyed our stay in Ella very much and would recommend this GuestHouse to everyone!

The location and the kindness of the host family. The host can speak a very good English!

Lovely family! Breakfast was outstanding.

The property is a small but steep walk (<5 min) that not many taxis dare to drive. Was no problem for us but maybe get a local tuktuk up if the walk is too hard with luggage.

It’s in a cute lovely home and garden and felt very safe. Bed was comfortable. Room was basic but fine. The family are so welcoming and lovely and the breakfast was 10/10 banquet.

Could do with a dehumidifier or some more ventilation in the room, a little damp in the bathroom.

We really want to thank the family, where we stayed. It was amazing, they are really nice people, hospitable, friendly and kind. We received great advice and information about Ella and sightseeing. Room was nice and clean, breakfast very tasty and always fresh. Also view from the top of the building very beautiful. We definitely recommend this accommodation 🙂

The hosting family was very welcoming. We were offered tea or coffee on our arrival. The room and bathroom have all the facilities we needed, were clean and cosy. Generous and tasty Sri Lankan breakfast, walking distance to the center of Ella. This is a freshly started homestay but definitely worth recommending!

Nothing to complain about.
