Road to and from the hotel was very steep and dingy so be careful use a Tuk Tuk to go to the city and to come back

Beautiful view from the room and dinning area Staff was very helpful and courteous Rooms were clean with running hot water

Breakfast was nice but got repetitive over the three days. Not a worry as Ella has lots of breakfast fare!

Amazing view, helpful, kind staff/ owner. Treated us with great care. Thanks very much!

The views were breathtaking. Town is a 30 min walk down the slope. Staff were very helpful & accomodating.

It would have been helpful to have known in advance that the property can only be reached by tuk tuk but staff were very helpful and came to pick us up when our car couldn’t get up the road!

Staff very friendly and helpful. Best view we have had in Sri Lanka so far

The lack of aircon means that the rooms are occasionally humid.

The view is amazing. The owner is extremely nice and helpful. They arranged tuk-tuk on a very short notice.

Beautiful property on the top of the hill with fabuous views. Such lovely and accomodating staff and lovely brekfasts. This place is so serene and peaceful we loved our stay. Handy walk down steps as a shortcut down the hill. There is a restaurant and spa just 5 mins walk away at bottom of steps or else can walk or get tuktuk from here down to the town which will take 5 mins.

The guesthouse is very difficult to get to- up a terrible and, at times, sandy tiny lane. Walking into town takes at least 30 minutes, down some difficult steps and not a handrail in sight- no lighting in the dark. Some tuk tuk drivers refused to take us up there.

The view from this guesthouse was out of this world. A place to think about life, a very peaceful place!

Simple, but nice and clean rooms. Really friendly owner, that can help with many things. The road there is a bit challenging, so make sure to warn your driver, but the view is magnificent.

The owner went out of his way to make our stay pleasant. Transport was provided to town as the road is a bit doggy. View was stunning from the breakfast verandah.

High up on the hillside the views from here are amazing. The staff were extremely kind and helpful and breakfast excellent. Its about a 15/20 minute walk down into town but easier to take a tuk tuk back up to the main road steps from where you climb about 150m up a steep set of steps. You do need to be fairly fit to stay here but recomend it!

When we arrived we stayed at the beautiful big shared Terrasse for a while, taking in the amazing view, drinking the welcome-tea. The view from the balkony in our room was amazing too, we loved to sit there in the morning, facing the sunset or watching the fog cut through the mountains. In the first night there was a bad smell in the bathroom, but wer're pretty sure that this is because of the heavy rain that accured during the day. On day 2 the smell was gone. Breakfast was basic but okay with a lot of tea. Host and staff were nice and helpful. The road up to the homestay is really tricky especially when raining, but there is also a shortcut only walkable by foot. It was a nice stay with nice host and nice view.

Awesome view from the hotel, away from busy streets of Ella. They picked us up by tuk-tuk at the main road which was very kind.

A tuk tuk is needed to get from the main road to the property and down to town- this is not really an issue as was very cheap and the owner is able to run guests back and forth as needed. Just be aware of this .

The rooms were sufficient , clean with a comfortable bed… however the views from the balcony were probably the most spectacular seen all holiday and are literally at the top of a mountain range. This made it worth it for the price alone .

All was perfect

Amazing view from the terrace, very helpful and nice host and great breakfast. Quite far from the Ella center but this is exactly what we wanted.

Stayed in March 2025

food was basic, and at times cold. However it was always given enthusiastically and with fruit which went down a treat. Didn’t come for the included food however so not really phased :)

Amazing view, can’t beat it. The staff were so lovely and answered any question/ask we had! There is a little nightly walk to get up to the hotel but it was good after eating out. The view is worth it +++ and considering the price it’s an amazing deal we think :)

If you’re wondering whether to book a room here—definitely yes! We rented a car and drove here ourselves. The road was quite challenging, with steep inclines. Tip: Contact the hotel in advance and ask them to show you the easier route! The first thing we encountered was the incredible hospitality of the staff. They greeted us with a tuk-tuk, helped us navigate the difficult road, carried our luggage, and welcomed us with a delicious nighttime tea. The hotel owner is amazing, and the atmosphere is truly special. The view from the room speaks for itself, the rooms are comfortable, and there’s hot water (which is a big plus in Sri Lanka!). Breakfasts are delicious, and the hotel even has its own tuk-tuk to take you to the city. Thank you for such a wonderful experience! I’ll definitely recommend this place to my friends.

The place is outside of Ella Town, but the view is spectacular. Ella Town is accessible by foot or tuk-tuk, but it's mountains, so consider that the walk is like a hike.

Location was perfect for nature lovers

Information about accessing the hotel could have been a good deal better. Our taxi driver dropped us at the bottom of a very steep dirt track as he said he could take us no closer in his car. This meant we undertook a 40 minute climb up this track in 35 degree heat dragging and carrying our bags. This access issue also means tuk tuk drivers charge an increased amount for a return journey from Ella although there is a 15 minute short cut to get down there using steps. There is no restaurant at the hotel so we had to take a 10 minute walk down and back to the main road for dinner (you need a good torch and some energy) or negotiate a tuk tuk to Ella and back.

Set in the hills surrounding Ella, the hotel offers a respite from the hot, noisy smelly, crowded, fume-filled village. Our comfortable room had a balcony with views over the spectacular country surrounding Ella and the many view points that people come to visit. Staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was very good. Lots of fresh fruit, eggs and toast.

The place is a bit difficult to reach (it's more a little path than a road). If you're coming by yourself, you should may be call the staff so they explain you which road to take, instead of following Google Map (the way with google map is shorter but very tricky, especially for cars)

We stayed here for one night, and the view is really stunning. Probably one of the best view of Ella ! The room was clean and comfortable. The staff is also really nice. We were welcomed with a good tea. And the breakfast is really good as well!

You cant drive by car, have to take a tuktuk from the main road but otherwise a hidden gem!

The views were really nice, surprisingly there were no mosquitos! It was really comfortable. The staff was nice and breakfast are really authentic.
