A beautiful resort surrounded by nature — the views from the rooms are absolutely breathtaking and peaceful. The staff were incredibly attentive and caring, making us feel truly welcomed throughout our stay. The food was excellent, and the live music in the evening added a lovely touch to the atmosphere. Still, it’s a fantastic place to unwind and connect with nature — we’d love to come back!

This was one of the best places we stayed during our trip. The price was great, the room was clean, and the location was perfect. We were welcomed with delicious coffee, and the breakfast each morning was fresh and tasty. The team was incredibly helpful, even assisting with our bags to the next hotel nearby. Thank you for such a smooth and lovely experience. Highly recommend!

Amazing Ella Rock view from the room! Air condioned room. Great rich breakfast. Staff was super warm & friendly. Even made us 1 lunch as a courtesy at no extra cost. Good location - generally quiet outside the super busy town center, yet still within 5 minute walk from the town's main street.

    Ella is a small town with breathtaking views and well organized place for tourists, If you are a nature lover and looking for a good quality time of enjoying hikes / mountains / zip lines / pictures with your family for a good prize , Ella is the place. Very safe for solo travelers too. Don't expect 5 stay luxury restaurants / high class bars etc. Lots of sign boards around guiding tourists to select the places they like to visit. Tuk tuk prizes are fixed for most places. don't forget to take a dip in fresh waters Ella offers in high mountain water falls.

    Walking to Ella Rock and Little Adam's Peak are well worth it, as was walking to nine arch bridge to see the train coming across it with tourists either side of the tracks. We wished we had another day or so, as wanted to visit a tea factory and take a guided hike in the surrounding countryside.

    It's an amazing town to be in.

    It's an amazing town to be in. I admire the way everyone makes sure that the town is clean and secure for anyone visiting. If you want to know how good the food is, look at the dogs on the street. They are an attraction in itself! It is definitely a happening place and everyone should visit Ella at least twice a year! If you are visiting the Nine Arch Bridge, beware of the Tuk Tuk drivers who try to "take you for a ride!"

    We had an unforgettable stay in Ella!

    We had an unforgettable stay in Ella! Our favorite spots were Little Adam’s Peak, the iconic Nine Arches Bridge, and the stunning Ravana Falls — each offering breathtaking views and peaceful moments surrounded by nature. We enjoyed delicious meals at local restaurants, sampling authentic Sri Lankan dishes and fresh fruit juices that really brought the flavors of the region to life. Getting around was super easy and fun thanks to renting a scooter. It gave us the freedom to explore at our own pace and discover hidden gems around town. Ella is the perfect getaway for couples looking for adventure, beautiful scenery, and a relaxing atmosphere.

    If you are into luxury stays and instagram quality rooms this place is not for you. This place is.very affordable, cosy, family run house that is directly in the city of Ella. Rooms are adequate with.ensuite in all three rooms. Large fridge is available. Sudha, the owner, is lovely and spent time to chat with us. She is.very friendly and helpful and also prepares the awesome breakfasts we had. It is a two minute walk to the centre and four minutes to the train station. Highly recommend.

    One of the highest rooftops in Ella - as far as I could tell! Views are incredible, and an amazing spot to catch the sunrise and sunset. Right beside the train station (but forewarning - there is a STEEP hill for the last 5 minutes before you reach the hotel). I walked from the station, but it was a workout due to the gradient! Rooms were clean, service was great (shoutout to SUDARA for being extra helpful and accommodating) and definitely would stay again.

    Great stay at this homestay. The view from the room and the balcony where breakfast is served is absolutely beautiful. You can walk into town from the location too. The staff are lovely and the breakfast is brilliant, different each day. There is a driving service from the homestay where you can use the car, we got to see all of Ella in comfort, but it is a luxury option so good idea to agree prices first.
