Neat and brand-new room, all in all had really lovely stay.
The breakfast had lots of outstanding options, and was large. There were coffee/tea making facilities, a dining area, and ironing facilities in the room, thoroughly enjoyed that. The location was just superb, minute walk from a train station.

This place is absolutely amazing! The room is new and spacious, equipped with all the necessary things. The view of the mountains and waterfall is jaw-dropping! It's a very quiet and relaxing area in nature, easily accessible in about 15 min from town. The family running the place is super friendly and helpful. The homemade breakfast and dinners are delicious and you can enjoy them on the lovely terrace. They will do their best to meet your expectations. Don't hesitate to book it!

The view from this place is absolutely stunning, overlooking Ella Rock, a waterfall, and tea plantations. The host family goes above and beyond to make your stay incredible. They even picked us up from the train station in their Tuk Tuk! The triple room was spotless and had thoughtful amenities like a fridge and fan. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, with different dishes every day. The hosts helped us organize tuk tuks for local attractions at a great price and even assisted with laundry. It's within walking distance to town along the railway line. Cannot recommend enough for a relaxed and amazing Ella experience.

I recently stayed at a charming homestay in a perfect location near Ella. The house had a lovely local style with the comforts for western travelers. The best part was the close proximity to the train tracks, which served as a convenient walk path to and from Ella or to start a hike. The balcony offered a stunning view of the valley where I enjoyed tea and coffee while watching birds. The owner and staff were extremely kind, always smiling, and treated me like a personal guest. The dinner they prepared exceeded my expectations. I enjoyed every minute of my stay and would highly recommend this unique homestay.
I would be happy to recommend this hotel.

Lovely family-run place with breathtaking view, just a short walk from town along train tracks. Tasty dinner, hot water, and reliable Wi-Fi. Unique school project on Sri Lankan tourism. Special family, unmatched location. Hidden gem.

I always stay at this cozy cottage. The staff helped with taxi tips, which I remember. It suits me perfectly with Wi-Fi, outdoor dining, and hiking. Great amenities. Coming back for holiday. No regrets.

The location was absolutely mind-blowing, up on a hill overlooking a jaw-dropping waterfall, away from the main street noise. The home cooked breakfast and dinner were super delicious, especially when enjoyed while listening to the sounds of nature. The host's tuk tuk service was a convenient and affordable way to get around. The rooms were surprisingly modern and comfortable, with hot water in the showers. The hospitality of the host and his family was top-notch, making us feel at home with tea/coffee and cookies. The view from the deck was worth a million bucks, and watching sunrise and sunset was a bonus. The food was fantastic, and the owner even served tea in real Chinaware. this stunning little homestay offered paradise at an affordable rate.

Despite these shortcomings, the family running the place was incredibly friendly and helpful. They made us feel like royalty and were always willing to go the extra mile to ensure our comfort. the breakfast they served was not only delicious, but there was an abundance of food to satisfy even the heartiest appetites. And to top it off, the balcony offered a peaceful and serene view, perfect for relaxation.
The wifi was horrendous, making it impossible to stay connected and use the internet. the shower was also a disappointment, lacking sufficient water pressure and leaving you feeling unsatisfied.

My stay at this charming home-stay was simply superb! The location was ideal for me as it offered a peaceful escape from the busy Ella, but was still conveniently close if I wanted to explore or go diving. The house had a lovely local charm with a touch of western comfort. I particularly enjoyed the balcony with its breathtaking views of the valley and the opportunity to sip tea or coffee while observing the birds. The owner's dinner exceeded my expectations - it was absolutely delicious! The people were incredibly kind, always smiling, and treated me as if I were their personal guest. I truly cherished every moment of my stay. I highly recommend this place.
Additionally, the wifi was extremely slow, which made it challenging to use popular apps like Instagram and Facebook. The veranda overlooking Ella Rock was beautiful during the day, but the bright and harsh light from the lamps at night took away from its cozy ambiance.

Perfect quiet location away from the noise of the center. Lovely view from the balcony. Lots of privacy with only two rooms. Walking distance from Nine Arch Bridge and Little Adam’s Peak. Sweet and helpful owners.
Felt spoilt, no complaints.
