A perfect stay in Ella! Accommodation clean and spacious. Shower hot and powerful. Host was very friendly and always willing to take us anywhere we wanted in his tuktuk. Thank you for a great stay :)

We really enjoyed our stay at Verdant Haven in Ella. The owner was very friendly and helpful and they offered us a great breakfast every morning. For a small fee the owner brought us everywhere in Ella with his own Tuktuk and he was always available to help! The rooms were also very clean and spacious and had a nice view on Ella Rock. We would highly recommend staying here!

Nothing. For us a bit a more central location would have been ideal but not the properties fault :)

The rooms are very clean and in great conditions. The host was very helpful and supportive, he picked us up from the train station and a couple of times at town. We had one of the best breakfast during our whole Sri Lanka trip here and are still dreaming of it :) The location is quite outside of the center and it takes quite some time to get there. Just to keep in mind.

Close to the train track so you hear the train horn very clearly but then it’s a short walk if you want to start your hike to Ella rock as it’s so close to the train tracks

Very spacious room with a large bathroom- very large comfortable bed

The host was so lovely! He was so warm, helpful and accommodating. He did us good rates to get into town and was an easy walk down the railway track during the day. The breakfast was delicious.

I had a fantastic stay at Verdant Haven Ella! The accommodation is well-maintained, clean, and provides a peaceful atmosphere. The staff is extremely helpful and goes above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. Although the location is a bit off the main road, it’s perfect for nature lovers. You can easily walk to Ella Rock and the Organic Tea Garden, making it a great base for exploring the area.

New clean rooms, was happy to have a proper good shower. The host helped with tuktuk for good price. His sister cooks amazing Sri Lankan breakfasts. The location is near the train station where people like to hike :) possible to get on this famous train from this station

It was close to the railway but we didn't mind that. You could also hear the road noise but the value and location far out weighed this small issue. We would definitely return.

Absolutely spotless rooms and a super comfy bed. The shower was the best we've had so far. The breakfast was delicious and set us up for the day. The manager was very knowledgeable and responsive, he happily would take you out on day trips and be your taxi service. An easy abd interesting walk along the railway lines took you into Ella centre

The location is close to the railway station and trains can be loud occasionally.

The rooms are comfortable, very friendly staff and we received lots of information and support for our stay (i.e. arranging cooking class or a scooter).

For a City person like myself it was unusual to recognize that there are small slots in the Windows making it practically open to outside. I was concerned that i would be bothered by the noise but finally ended up loving the fresh air in the night tucked in the bed covered with mosquito net

My favorite stay in Lanka! Spacious and clean room with the most comfortable bed and pillows i had on my trip. Located outside of the busy and laud Ella town, here you hear the sounds of the nature and look into the green hills. Wonderful location to hike Ella rock and the walk to ella town along the railway is iconic! But the best of all is the Host Ayesh. He takes amazing care of the individual needs of the guests, prepares the most tasty breakfast after an early hike and anytime i needed a pickup from the town in the evening he was there in no time. I felt taken so good care of and wish i could have stayed longer! Pure relaxation!

Rooms are not sound proofed but nothing earplugs didn’t sort and from what I heard speaking to other travellers not many places are in Ella are

Rooms were clean. Bed was large and comfortable. The shower was the best with red hot water. Location was perfect for me. Out of Ella town away from all the music and traffic. Only a 20 minute walk down the tracks into Ella where you pass lots of little restaurants that are much cheaper than Ella. There’s also a train station just at the end of the road so could catch the train if you wanted. Perfect location for Ella rock too. Breakfast was excellent with a Selection of fruits, Dahl rotti and avocados and eggs. The manager was a gentleman and would pick me up from Ella in his tuk tuk. He always made sure I was taken care of.

It is quite a distance outside the centre of Ella, you will need a tuk-tuk which Ayessh can arrange! The shutters beside the windows and above the door do not close which can be a problem if the other guests are using their balcony in the evening, it can be very noisy.

Ayessh was a fantastic host, incredibly helpful and friendly! Our room was lovely, very clean and comfortable with a nice hot shower. Great local breakfast too 😊

Simply amazing the setting and professionalism of the stay! If you enjoy rather calmer surroundings while still being able to enjoy Ella to the fullest, well here you have your best option!

The road to the property is not lit at all so it can get a lil scary and it is not easy to get a tuktuk from the property but if you rent a scooty and don’t mind a lil bumpy ride, you will be fine

The comfiest bed and best hot water shower ever Ayesh is the sweetest host and will immediately respond with suggestions and also help with whatever you need. The breakfast spread is perfect. Since we were there on 1st Jan, Ayesh also gave us cake and traditional Sri Lankan festival desserts for breakfast
