So far it was the best place we stayed in Sri Lanka. We were lucky to be the first guests of this wonderful place. Room is clean, everything is new and it feels very cozy. View is stunning - we didn’t want to go anywhere else Owner and staff are super friendly, helpful and professional We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend to everyone!

The view of the hills from the bar and restaurant is breathtaking. The decoration of the room is very arty and even unique. Would recommend this place as a retreat for resting too. It has a nice little pool. Staff is helpful and organizes tuktuks for you at the best price.

This was probably the best accommodation we had in Sri Lanka. The owner was very kind. We rented a tuktuk going to Ella. He drove our tuktuk going to his place, bought us dinner from the city, and cooked us a very sumptuous breakfast. The place was amazing. Although it had no a/c, we were still able to sleep well at night. Apparently, there were not much bugs during our stay there. The place is just beside the famous Asanka Cafe.

Amazing breakfast, freshly prepared and great service. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great location, about a 3/4 minute walk to the centre of Ella, but just far enough away that you escape the noise of the bars in the centre. Onsite laundry is excellent for those travelling for a bit longer and needing clothes washed. Lovely fresh juice on arrival, and even provided snacks when we checked out for our onward journey.

The location was great, with a direct view on the waterfall from our balcony. The service was the best we got during our trip, Senu was a great help for accommodating transport from and to the hotel and a guide for the Ella rock trail. The breakfasts we got were delicious and local, and always served on time! The room was spacious and very clean.

One of our favourite places in SL, had much more of a town feel. It is touristy but just means lots of place to eat. The hikes are amazing and were one of our favourite parts of our trip. Beware the scammers when going up Ella rock - it's a little confusing to find the path and locals will try to lead you away from the main path to 'guide' you

Ella is a wonderful place to explore.

Ella is a wonderful place to explore. It’s very clean and has breathtaking views everywhere. The people are kind, the local food is amazing, and it’s perfect for families, friends, or groups. With easy access to Nine Arches Bridge, Little Adam’s Peak, Ella Rock, and tea plantations, it’s an ideal base for a week of sightseeing and adventure.

I recently stayed at a wonderful hotel in Ella, Sri Lanka, and had an amazing experience. The rooms were spacious, clean, and very comfortable, offering beautiful views of the surrounding nature. The highlight of my stay was the host, Dulshan, who was incredibly welcoming and helpful. He went above and beyond to arrange everything I needed, from transportation to local tours and recommendations for the best spots in town. If you’re looking for a great place to stay with top-notch hospitality, I highly recommend this hotel!

This hotel is a bit of a hidden gem. And we got very lucky to actually discover it, after not-so impressive stay at another location in Ella. Our top floor penthouse offered unparalelled views on the valley and nearby falls, worth every penny. Our room was brand new, tasteful, comfy and very clean. Breakfast was a real delight, and one would love to sip coffee for long hours while seating on the terrace. Hotel staff was very helpful, they truly wanted to make our stay memorable and went extra mile to take good care of us.

During our trip to Sri Lanka, we stayed in all sorts of places from hostels to luxury resorts. This homestay was by far our favorite! Chandy was very hospitable and felt a little like our mom away from home. The room was very clean and tidy. The breakfasts every day, delicious (shout out to her homemade pancakes). Also her husband did not mind to drive us into Ella town with his tuk tuk. The view from the porch is amazing! Please go here, you will not be sorry!

We would like to thank all the staff. We had a wonderful stay. The luxury consisted of the great breakfast and the warmth of everyone on the premises. Our son really enjoyed the two dogs and the cat. We felt completely at home and very well looked after. We particularly recommend a treatment in the hotel's own lovingly designed spa.
