Everything was great. We had a lovely stay.

Nothing

Clean room with good WIFI, comfortable beds and room amenities. Excellent breakfast which was enjoyed in the rooms patio area.. Restaurants just across the road offering excellent food. ATM also close by along with other shops. Attractions such as 9 Arches Bridge and Small Adams Peak all within walking distance. Main city area just over 1km down the road. Staff spoke English. provided great local knowledge/information and arranged onward travel which went very smoothly.

Nothing.

Posizione: comoda a piedi per raggiungere Nine arch bridge e il little Adam e peak. Colazione eccellente Proprietari disponibili e super gentile (ci hanno tenuto i bagagli finché siamo stati a camminare tra le piantagioni di te) Centro di Ella raggiungibile a piedi in 15/20 min

Location is good.

I had a disappointing experience here given that I ended up paying double the price for my accommodation. It ended up being over 200 euros and the owner was very unhelpful when sorting this issue out and I never got a refund. As a solo traveller this was disappointing. Although the room looks great, if you look closely things are rundown and not worth the price. I also had flying termites in my room in the night

Everything esp the host. Non interfering and everything laid out as requested. Nice location and beautiful spacious room with a sit out. The breakfast was awesome and filling and different on each of the days we stayed there.

Nothing really

Veldig god frokost! Bra beliggenhet nærme Nine Arches Bridge og Little Adams Peak. Kort vei til sentrum, men ikke langs den aller mest trafikkerte veien. Veldig bra standard på rommet så mye for pengene her. Til og med kjøleskap!

Ochotny personal, blizko vyletu

Postele měkké, zasle zarizeni

I loved the location, outside of the hustle of Ella but close enough to quickly walk in if you wish. Plenty of options for food, drink and massages. Perfect location to hike to both little Adams peak and also the nine arch bridge. The host is absolutely amazing, so friendly and accommodating. I had 100s of questions and requests which were all taken care of and even little things like when I hung my clothes out, the host moved them into the sun throughout the day to make sure they were dry. Many little touches like this made my stay here so wonderful.

Wonderful location close to sightseeing locations. Nice clean rooms very tastefully built and decorated. The owner was very friendly and welcomed us very warmly. Breakfast was elaborate and we loved it. Overall, a great experience !

This was my best stay at Sri Lanka. Everything i needed was there, from hair dryer to mini freeze. The host was a generous person. He contacted with us before coming and made sure we had a comfortable stay. On our first day we were fasting and so requested him to arrange the breakfast items at the evening. He did that without any hesitation. Next day it was our Eid and he wished us and prepared excellent breakfast, a mixed of sri lankan food and english breakfast! The property was near the trail of nine arc bridge and the little adams peak. Also there was a massage center just opposite to the property. After the tracking i had severe headache and went there for a head massage. It was very relaxing.

NOTHING!

Die Unterkunft ist etwas außerhalb gelegen, dennoch können der Little Adams Peak, die Nine Arch Bridge und auch das Zentrum fußläufig erreicht werden. Das Frühstück wurde draußen vor dem Zimmer serviert und war sehr gut.

Leider haben wir uns in unserem Zimmer nicht sehr wohl gefühlt. Es war nicht wirklich sauber und es roch extrem muffig, daher sind wir bereits eine Nacht früher abgereist.

Cena, komfort

Great location- easy to get to shops & restaurants. Also close to the walks for nine arches bridge & Little Adam’s peak. Great sized room with 2 big comfy beds with a choice of pillows. Great shower which was always hot. Breakfast was wonderful.

The bed was so comfortable, great pillows. Great location, quiet but still close enough to town and super close to the little Adams peak walk and 9arch walk. Good breakfast, they were wonderful organising everything we needed from washing to tuk tuks and car transport. Went above and beyond!

Liked everything for the price.

Chambre familiale spatieuse, propre Bon petit déjeuner

Petite odeur d'humidité Assez Bruyant car en bord de route

Очень очень гостеприимный хозяин, завтрак великолепен, расположение очень крутое- рядом мост( 15 минут) рядом Пик Адама. Все очень круто. Пусть нет вида на горы, но это все в пешей доступности👍🏼🙏

Единственное, хотелось что-то приготовить, но нет небольшой кухни. Но чайник в номере есть, это очень удобно

Het was lekker schoon, het bed lag heerlijk, het ontbijt was uitgebreid en lekkere handdoeken. Accommodatie was 15/20 minuten van de drukke straat, daarom was het in de nacht lekker rustig. Echt een aanrader!

The location of the place is good, just walking distance to place of interest.

Shower pressure very low

Przemiły, pomocny gospodarz. Pomógł nam zaplanować i zorganizować safari. Usługa prania- dobra cena i jakość. Super lokalizacja- blisko mostu i Adam's peak, niedaleko centrum ( Ok.10/15min).

Śniadania dobre, kawa dobra- mogłoby być urozmaicone, ale o smaku i rodzaju posiłku nie powinno się dyskutować 😋

Lo staff molto gentile e colazione abbondante. 5 minuti in tuk tuk dal centro

Strada un pó rumorosa.

Very good breakfast and nice owners. Room Was big an even had a mini fridge. Would totally recommend.

Excellent breakfast, great location to visit Nine arch bridge and Little Adams peak.

Smelly room, uncleaned bathroom.

Good location. Price was good Good breakfast

The breakfast and location is superb. Very close to 9arch bride and adams peaj

Need to keep door open so that room is cool

Excellent hotel, the room was very confortable, a lot spacious and extremely clean! The owner was very kind and always help us in everything. The breakfast was excellent, very good taste and is very complete. The location is perfect, outside the hotel you have Pizza Luna restaurant, a great prices and excellent food and beatiful atmosphere. I recommend it.

😊 Everything was perfect and very confortable! The best hotel in Ella!

Property located within walking distance to most Ella’s attractions. Homemade breakfasts were, delicious and big. The property was clean and equipped with the most necessary things.

The property is located close to the road so in the night it was quite noisy because of vehicles but also sounds from near located restaurant.

Breakfast was good. Staff too. Nice and clean rooms.. loved it

Location was close to everything Breakfast was amazing and plenty of it

Bit noisy from road noise

Thanks to the host Sajitha. He was very welcoming and accommodating. The place is simple but it is clean and comfortable. Nine Arch Bridge and Ravana Pool Club are very accessible from the cottage. Another thing that is worth mentioning is the breakfast, it was well prepared and delicious.

Nothing

Location was close to the shops and easy walking distance to main part of town, it’s directly across the road from the path that leads to the 9 Arch Bridge. The staff were so friendly, we got breakfast served to our room and they also did our laundry for an additional fee. D & T- Australia

Nothing

There was a horrible smell in the room. Everything was dirty. The room was dark and moldy.

The room was exactly as good as in picture. Outside sitting area facing the road is a real vibe!! Fully surrounded by green plants enhance the privacy even though road facing entrance. The caretaker was so polite and attended the requests promptly. Experienced an extraordinary English breakfast which was included in the stay package. I was requesting for a day of stay extension. But the room was already reserved so he couldn't provide us. Instead he arranged a better place for lesser price. Since I was not satisfied I booked some other place on my own. He has gone an extra mile by arranging a cab for the shift for free of cost. I am very much impressed with the service. Happy to recommend this property. Thanks for the great hospitality! Much appreciated.

The room was very clean and very nice looking. The breakfast was amazing! We really loved it. Thank you so much for the nice stay!

Location is perfect for hike to Nine-arch bridge and Little Adam's Hike. Walk into town is another 15 minutes

Room had just a single fan, which can become an issue in the summer months

Everything was perfect Great host Nearby good shops

Great spot, can get quite loud with vans going past every so often but I’d much rather that than having to walk up some of those hills that aren’t on the main road that is Ella. Such a generously sized room too, very happy with my stay! So close to Little Adam’s peak entrance and the nine arch bridge entrance, the location was really perfect for me! Bit out of town so away from the main noise, maybe a 10 min walk in to town, it’s great

Perfect location near Little Adams Peak and Nine Arch Bridge. You can easily walk to the city center as well. The room is very spacious. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Situated in a very convenient location, walking distance to Nine Arches, ella city, little Adam’s peak, Flying Ravana, Restaurants etc. Host was very friendly and welcoming. Had the best breakfast ever with so many varieties of Sri Lankan and western cuisine.

Avenra Cottage in Ella offers a peaceful, breathtaking retreat with stunning mountain views. The homestay combines modern amenities with cozy charm, and the owner himself welcomed us,, providing excellent service and helpful recommendations. The rooms are beautifully decorated, and the homemade breakfast is a highlight. Located conveniently near local attractions, it’s the perfect place to unwind and recharge. Highly recommended.

Clean room. Comfortable beds. Lovely outdoor seating area and delicious breakfast. Location is perfect if you want to do Little Adam’s Peak and the Nine Arch Bridge with trails within 100m of the cottage. Walk into Ella centre just 15mins or so. Nice host who was happy for us to leave our luggage with them until we left in the afternoon.

The road in front is a main road and quite noisy, but we had earplugs so for us no big issue.

Walkable to Little Adam’s peak and close to Nine Arches bridge. Good breakfast and neat rooms.

We had a great experience at Avenra Cotage. It's next to Rawana Pool club and very close to Nine Arch Bridge and the city. Room was very comfy and worthy. Nice staycation. Breakfast was supperb, we had Sri Lankan breakfast. We enjoyed lots.

Location and the manager. Location perfect to go to the 9 arch bridge. Manager arranges all your wishes with a smile.

We got spooked by a frog in the shower.

Great location, right next to ravana pool club, trail to peak adams& trail to 9arch bridge. Walking distance untill city center. Very clean&comfortable. Best breakfast in sri lanka!! Great value for money!! Amazing staff.

Excellent location, best breakfast in Sri Lanka, great helpful host, cozy beds. Nothing else needed.

...

Good location: walking distance to Ella center, and even closer to 9arch bridge, little Adam peak and the swimming pool (paid attraction on the way to little Adam peak, but worth the price:)); very pleasant host, clean, great breakfast (coconut pancakes, fruits, smoothie, toasts, omlet), good value for money.

All good

The location was good because it was close to town but away from the noise and the bed was so cosy, I don't know how to describe it, I slept like a baby every night and then woke up for this nice breakfast in the al fresco area, and is also surrounded by restaurants, there is a cafe bistro just next door with really nice food (burger and the panini recommended) in case you don't want to go to town . The Ravana Club is just within walking distance, in general I think it is really convenient to explore the area

This is a cute hostel near the center of Ella. The location is strategic for those who will visit the Nine-Arch bridge and little Adam's peak. It is also a short drive to Ella railway station. There are shops around the cottage which are very helpful for immediate purchase and emergencies. The host is very kind. The room is spacious with seating area, dresser and toilet. There is also a cabinet for your clothes. There is a dining area just outside the room which is very comfy and relaxing. We had a lovely and filling breakfast.

Nothing to mention.

Delicious breakfast with Sri Lankan style Comfy bed Easy to travel places

No tissue papers in the washroom

The Location provided easy access for all the destinations, food and the railway station. Hospitality is great by the owner, we got checked in at 9 am even though the scheduled check-in time is 1.30pm

Nothing to complain, the only missing thing is less food shops around

Very helpfull owner, great breakfast and perfect location

Everything perfect

great location for the start of the nine arches walk. breakfast on balcony was nice. room was spacious. very clean. beds comfortable.

not much. perhaps a little too long of a walk for some getting back from town but easily doable. plenty of tuk tuk if you need them.

Perfect location, very close to the pathway to the Nine Arches Bridge and walking distance to the village. Several little restaurants and cafés nearby. Superb breakfast and friendly staff. The room was spacious and beds very comfortable.

Mind you that the cottage is by the main road so it is quite loud at times - wasn't an issue for us but one should keep it in mind.

Food and the location

It was amazing. The most delicious breakfast. Everything was close, near to the nine arch bridge trail and also to the trail to little adams peak. The host was helpful and nice.

Our mosquito net fell down, but our host fix it immediately. In general there wasnt any major issue.

Nice breakfast, nice host and good location.

No A/C, fan was not working at all times due to the plug having some issue. A little loud at times due to the dogs on the street.

I loved the location and the owner was really friendly and 10/10 for the breakfast

Everything was at a very good level.Prefer if AC was available.

Good value for money, quite central, clean sheets and comfy. Breakfast was really nice and served on-time !

It is right next to the road, and therefore noisy . Also some mosquito nets would be great to have the option for opening the windows.

Staff was friendly at check-in/out. They also provided a decent breakfast and a baby cod. The location is also great, close to the nine arch bridge and little Adam’s peak.

The room (because that is what it is, not a ‘cottage’) was poorly maintained. The furniture and bathroom were run down. Both the room and the bathroom had a lot of stains. There are two queenside beds, which felt a bit damp and sticky. Doubt they get good enough cleaning. There is also quite some outside noise in the form of loud music and a noisy street.

Clean place, room was exactly as shown in pictures, all amenities were present. The host even provided packed breakfast for us around 5 am as we had to catch a train early in the morning

It was just outside the Main Street in Ella, about a 10 minute walk but still has lots of restaurants near by. It was set back off the main road so we had some privacy. And right next to the path to 9 arches bridge

Large room, nice outside area, close to bridge and little Adams peak

Great location, decent breakfast.

Damp room, it smells a little mossy
