No one mentioned the fact that this property has 107 steps to climb to get to the property. People should be made known that there is no other way to get to the property without doing those stairs and if u are older or has a disability you will get stranded when u get there

The view was amazing.

The trail to the homestay was a little bit difficult because the steep slope.

The view was amazing, and the breakfast was very nice. The homestay owner even helped us with our luggage.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this delightful homestay in Ella, and I can confidently say it was one of the most enriching experiences of my travels. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm smiles and a genuine sense of hospitality from the host family. The homestay itself is nestled in the lush hills of Ella, providing stunning views that make you feel truly connected to nature. The accommodations were not only comfortable but also beautifully decorated, reflecting the local culture. My room was spacious, clean, and had all the amenities I needed for a relaxing stay. One of the highlights of my visit was the delicious home-cooked meals prepared by the family. Each dish was a delightful experience, featuring fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. They were more than happy to share recipes and stories about their culinary traditions, which added a personal touch to my dining experience. The family was incredibly welcoming and eager to share their knowledge about Ella and its surroundings. They organized a guided tour for me to explore the nearby tea plantations and waterfalls, which made my trip even more memorable. Their insights into local customs and traditions enriched my understanding of the culture. Overall, my stay at this homestay in Ella was exceptional. It offered the perfect blend of comfort, culture, and hospitality. I left feeling like I was part of the family and with memories that I will cherish forever. I highly recommend this homestay.

The water pressure from the shower a bit low.

The view of this hotel is epic! The staff are super friendly and helpful. My friend was sick on the check-in day, and even we arrived late, the host still made some simple food for her so that at least she got something to eat at night. Always with nice smile, and gave us lots of information during the stay. Highly recommended!

Excellent view-lots if steps up but they can also drive you around to less steps and will help with luggage-view is worth it! Great breakfast Close enough to town (5-10 minute drive)but you do need transport-either own car or taxi/uber Nice bathroom and 2 double beds for our 3 people Great value-area can be a bit pricey

Probably the climb to the stairs however this was also kind of an adventure for us and a good way to burn some excess calories

Amazing location with a great view. The rooms were also clean and well looked after. Had a good value for money over all

The staff was exceptional and the breakfast good!

The property access is after climbing a fair amount of steep steps. It would have been ideal if it had been mentioned at the time of the booking.

Hospitality. Value for only. The views

Need to climb up a bit to reach the property which is difficult for elderly people. The water pressure was too less in washrooms making it a long time for a bath though they have nice plumbing fixtures.

Pleasant as the name suggests. Place is clean and well maintained. Beautiful view of mountains and Waterfall . Great staff. Great food.

You can not fault the view from the room. You are high in the hills with nature.. it’s stunning.

Small but very cosy place. Staff was good and helpful. Food was decent for breakfast. Location and sunrise was worth the climb of steps

A bit of a climb up the steps to get to the accommodation but it's worth it for the amazing views. Breakfast was lovely and I enjoyed it whilst taking in the views from the balcony. Bedrooms clean. Amazing accommodation for the price. It's about a 20-25 minute walk into the town but it is nice to feel away from the hustle and bustle of it all. It's very easy to get a tuk tuk to and from the town and the owner has a tuk tuk he can take you in.

There are a lot of stairs to climb to reach the guesthouse - maybe worth considering for those with limited mobility. Also worth noting that the guesthouse is in Kithaya Ella. So either catch a tuk or enjoy the approximately half an hour walk into Ella itself.

Stunning location, views across the valley onto Little Adam's peak, Ella Rock and the waterfall. You can even see the famous train snaking through below. Room was spacious with all basic amenities. Host family go out of their way to help you; they stayed up late for us when we unexpectedly checked in late and then made us breakfast at 5:30am when we had a train to catch. Really appreciated this. Definitely a must if you're looking for a place to stay in Ella.
