The view from the balcony is absolutely amazing. It’s quiet and a great place to calm down and relax. The room was very clean and we had no problems with Moskitos or other animals. The staff and the owner were very friendly and helpful. They can organize a scooter for rent or a tuktuk (taxi) if needed. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend Eagle View Villa.

I had an incredible stay! The location is close to everything, and the delicious breakfast was a delightful start to each day. The owner's hospitality was exceptional, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Surrounded by nature, the jungle feeling was surreal, and spotting giant squirrels, monkeys, mongoose, and various birds added a unique touch to the experience. Highly recommend!

Very clean place, very clean bed (cleanest bed we had so far in Sri Lanka), beautiful view and balcony in front of every room. Bathroom with very hot water and window. Super nice host. Breakfast very tasty and variable. Located a bit on the hill, walk about 5-10 minutes to the centre, restaurants nearby, but also nature. Perfect location. Mr. Upali is very nice and perfectly organised. Thank you very much

The location was lovely, a bit outside the city, up in the mountains. The view was spectacular, where you could enjoy nice fresh breakfast made by the staff. Laka, our host was very nice and friendly and didn’t hesitate to drive us anywhere, he also made sure, that we got a car to our next destination. Big up Sri Lanka !

we were flabbergasted by the view at ella gap from the rooftop. crew was amazingly helpful. they drove our tuktuk up to the guesthouse because we didn’t dare to drive the steep hill. hilltop is away from the busy and loud mainstreet. superquiet allthough 5 minutes from the centre. our host gave us the perfect advice to get around.
