Die Unterkunft hat alle Erwartungen weit übertroffen. Wir wurden sehr herzlich und unglaublich freundlich empfangen. Unser Gastgeber machte für uns alles möglich (TukTuk Transfers, Abendessen im eigenen Restaurant, sogar ein kleines Frühstück zum mitnehmen für eine frühe Wanderung). Die Unterkunft ist sehr modern, sauber und mit einem tollen Badezimmer. Das absolute Highlight war die Terasse auf der auch das Frühstück serviert wird. Dort sind Liegestühle und eine Matte, auf der man gut chillen kann. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker, mit vielen Früchten, auch aus dem eigenen Garten. Die Unterkunft liegt am Hügel überhalb von Ella. Dadurch ist man nicht direkt im Trubel der Stadt sondern kann gut entspannen. Tolle Ausgangslage für die Wanderung zum Ella Rock. Wir haben uns unglaublich wohl gefühlt. Gerne wären wir noch länger geblieben. Danke für Alles!

Oshan el encargado es muy amable y atento. Nos ayudaba con todo, desde reservar tuk tuks para llevarnos al centro (se llega en 10 minutos) hasta para los transfer a otros sitios. Cada mañana nos traía un desayuno espectacular que tomábamos en la terraza con unas vistas preciosas. Todo estaba muy limpio, la terraza tiene una red muy cómoda donde tumbarse a leer un rato o simplemente a admirar el paisaje. Además tiene plancha y perchas para la ropa y secador.

Todo fue genial aunque si tuviera que ponerle un pero sería que le faltaba un poco de presión al agua tanto del baño como de la ducha.

The hotel location was absolutely beautiful and we got to wake up to an amazing view of the mountains each morning. It’s around a 25 minute walk into Ella town however they offer a tuktuk wherever you like at any given time which we found so helpful and a lot cheaper than the local tuktuks. They also arranged transport to pick us up from Sigiriya and our onward travel to Yala which was really convenient! Room was also super clean and spacious. Breakfast was amazing each morning, we got provided a range of fruit, omlette, smoothies, toast and different Sri Lanka dishes which were so tasty. The family were so lovely and made us feel so welcome - they really couldn’t do enough for us and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

An amazing place to stay with the kindest most helpful hosts. The food was great as was the view from the balcony! 100% recommend :)

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour au Rock View Cottage. La chambre est parfaitement propre, avec un balcon privatif, et au calme à l’écart du centre animé d’Ella (25min à pieds). La vue est imprenable depuis ce petit cocon intimiste. L’établissement est tenu par une famjlle, tous très gentils, souriants et serviables, donneurs de bons conseils, ouverts à la discussion et aux petits soins! Ils nous ont à de nombreuses reprises emmenés en tuktuk dans la ville (à 5min) mais aussi emmené en voiture jusqu’à notre destination suivante (Udawalawe). Bref, on s’est senti à la maison ! Gros coup de cœur, nous recommandons +++ 🙏

Breakfast was delicious. Our host made us pancakes on pancake day!

Room smelt quite damp but perhaps a one off…

Prachtig uitzicht, ontzettend behulpzaam en vriendelijk personeel. Altijd een dikke glimlach en niks is te gek om te vragen. Zou het 100% aanbevelen.

Oshan et son équipe on étaient adorables avec nous ! Une gentillesse rare Tout a été parfait du confort des chambres aux petits déjeuner . Qui plus est, l’emplacement est top car proche des départs de rando et accès centre ville .

Des hôtes vraiment accueillants et de très bons conseils. Un petit déjeuner excellent avec une vue incroyable Ne pas hésiter à prendre le dîner chez eux

Sehr freundliche Gastgäber, sauberes Zimmer. Das Essen hat sehr geschmeckt.

Het uitzicht vanuit onze kamer was echt top. Daarnaast was de kamer ook netjes en kregen we elke ochtend een heerlijk ontbijt. De hosts zijn erg behulpzaam en brengen je graag naar het centrum van Ella. Een aanrader!

Balkon &die Aussicht

Die Mülldeponie auf dem Weg zur Unterkunft und geringer Wasserdruck in der Unterkunft

The views from the property were so beautiful and Nikshan and his family were incredibly accommodating and friendly.

Das Personal und das Frühstück war unser Highligt. Aussicht ist auch ein Traum.

Das Zimmer und Bad könnte ein wenig erneuert werden. Aber war für die 2 Nächte völlig ok.

Lovely single cottage above the breakfast area. We enjoyed sitting out on the balcony looking at the beautiful view. The hosts were all very helpful with giving us recommendations for things to do and arranging transport for us for a very reasonable price.

Mention spéciale à Danu pour son accueil, sa disponibilité et gentillesse. Cette rencontre a été un vrai coup de cœur pour nous. Il a rendu notre séjour incroyable ! Belle chambre avec terrasse, excellent petit déjeuner et très bon emplacement.

La super hospitalité des propriétaires, leur gentillesse, leurs conseils et surtout l'aide pour toutes les excursions, déplacements ! Le lieu est idéalement situé, au calme et pas trop loin de la ville en tuktuk avec une superbe vue sur la montagne. Un lieu ressourçant et plein de charme Merci

Nous avons tout aimé, mais s'il fallait améliorer quelque chose ça serait le débit de l'eau de la douche et des rideaux un peu plus occultants.

Heerlijk verblijf! We sliepen in een mooi huisje met prachtig uitzicht over de Ella Rock en Little Adams Peak. Super vriendelijke mensen die je voor een kleine bijdrage overal naartoe willen brengen. Goed verzorgd ontbijt.

Отличный вид, отзывчивый персонал, очень стараются оказать любого вида помощь)

Добираться не супер удобно, и собаки немного напрягали. Понимаю, что играли, но все же когда твоя рука в их пасти - не очень приятно😃

We loved the view from the restaurant and from the room itself. A real green oasis. The room is spacious and well equipped. The breakfast was exceptional! But what we liked most was the kindness of the hosts who did everything to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable, even spontaneously organized a birthday cake, thank you so much!!! Also for the transportation to our next location, which went very smoothly and pleasant.

Rock View Cottage was such a pleasant stay! The staff was very very helpful and friendly. Our room was spacious and clean, and the view from our balcony was stunning. Breakfast was also great. Location is also in close proximity to the main street with all the bars and restaurants. Would highly recommend!

The property is up the hill of Ella town, with a marvelous view of Ella Rock and Little Adam’s Peak. The rock view cottage is the only room above the owner’s restaurant and usually very popular. The team is so kind and very helpful to help arranging tuktuk and laundry services for us. The breakfast is also so good with all kinds of fruit and local snacks and eggs. Really a great stay recommended for everyone.

Location is in the hills which means the views are amazing (when it's not cloudy), room is very spacious. Staff were super friendly and polite, breakfast was huge and different every day.

The bathroom could use a refresh, its a bit dingy and the mat could do to be replaced. Shower was adequate, warm but not powerful.

Good value comfortable room a short trip in tuktuk from centre. Lovely breakfast and the staff all super friendly and helpful.

Beautiful stay in Ella with a wonderful breakfast included. The staff were all so lovely and made us feel welcome.

We were so lucky to have booked this beautiful property. Set high on the hill above Ella it was just magical. The views from our room were so good with little Adams Peak and Ella Rock in the distance. The family who rum this were so good and went out of their way to make your holiday special. We did the train from Ella to Namo Oya and then went onto a tea plantation. We climbed Little Adams Peak and went to Nine Arch Bridge. In the evenings we went into Ella and enjoyed some great food there. If this place has availability just book it. You'll love it.

Very good atmosphere, relaxing music during breskfast, incredibly nice brothers who run the cottage. It is an „allround service spot“: they have a restaurant, rent scooters ( in good condition), rent TukTuks and they will carry you with their own TukTuk, they organized a pickup and delivery laundry service for us. We liked the location! a bit, but not to far away from the buzzling and loud Ella. Great view! Our room terrace gave the feeling to be „in the middle of the rainforest, but it was only 10m away from the road .( quiet at night). Very nice and good restaurant in 5 min walking distance - „Serenite“

Bath room mat and floor mats were visibly dirty - they explained everything was „vacuum cleaned“, yes… but it would have needed a 60 degree wash 😉. The room light is either to dim or to intense to read in the bed. The bath room is a bit worn down and there is hardly any water pressure. But this should not hinder to go as the owners are really cute!

The property is excellent. Clean and well-provided, and the staff are incredibly attentive and helpful. The service and hospitality we received throughout was fantastic, and the team were all really welcoming and friendly. The breakfast was substantial and delicious, and they were kind enough to pack one to take with us on our early train the day we left. We would definitely visit again if we come back to Ella.

The cottage has a very nice view of Ella Rock and Little Adams Peak. It is not in the City Center, which I wouldn‘t recommend anyways in Ella as it is very noisy. The accommodation is very spacious and the breakfast very tasty. The operators are very friendly and drive you to the City Center for a good price. We would come again.

The hotel’s view is amazing, you can see Ella rock and little Adam’s peak from the balcony. The breakfast was thoughtful and changed each morning, which was very nice. The room was clean and well equipped, including table and chairs both inside and on the balcony and little fridge. The shower had very hot water always, which was great. The staff was excellent and treated us well, including recommending about activities and offering help with transport.

The rainy season makes Ella full of bugs in the night, but it’s not something they control, and bed was protected from bugs.

nice place out of the craziness of Kandy;

far from everything so you need your own transport

Good people and great breakfast. Really beautiful and peaceful space. Tuktuk service for low price to center

We had a great stay here!!! Super helpful hosts, who picked us up at the train station. Breakfast was lovely, room was clean, the only ‘thing’ (which we didnt mind) is that it is up the hill, a bit outside of the city center (30mins walking, 10mins by tuktuk). However the view, peace & quiet, hosts and breakfast are totally worth it!

Family really welcoming, helping with picking up and dropping to city center. Breakfast was nice, lovely view from room, option also to rent scooter to tour around.

Bath could be improve, but overall okay, there was hot water (y) 10/10 deserved

Extremly friendly hosting family who are were eager to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Great breakfast and also delicious dinner for very little money. They have a tuk tuk and can drive you wherever you like to go at any time. They even provided us the lift to the train station for free. Our room was in a separate cottage with a very nice view and it was nice and quiet at night. Even though the place is a bit up the hill you can reach Ella easily on foot.

The views are beautiful on the mountain. The owner was always helpful in any way he could and the breakfast was good. Everything was clean and very well kept. The location is good, a bit out of the center up the mountain and quiet.

The wifi connection was not working too well.

We had a great stay at the cottage. The room is new, modern and has everything you need. There is a fan which keeps you cool at night (we had no problems with no AC as Ella is quite cool in the evenings). The family are very friendly and on hand if you need anything. We got several tuk tuks from the owner at a reasonable price. He also helped us get to the station for a train to Kandy which was cancelled from the main Ella station and we were taken to the next stop which was a 30 min tuk tuk away. The breakfast is huge and delicious!

Everything was absolutly perfect. The hosts are amazing and very welcoming, they really make you feel at home. They help with your planning and offer great tuktuk services as well. Delicous and varied breakfast everyday (fresh fruit from their trees) and this accompanied with an amazing room with a breathtaking view on ella rock and little Adams Peak. location a bit further from the center, only 5min with tuktuk, made it even better. bonus: we left early morning to catch the train and we got the best take away breakfast :) +tuktuk from the hosts would recommend to everyone! they also run will guest at accross the street

This is a beautiful place run by a family. A little bit further from the city (10 min tuktuk drive) which makes it very peaceful and with a beautiful view. People were really welcoming :) thank you for everything 🤍

Lovely place, lovely owners!

If you’re an Ella, this is the most beautiful place for staying. The family is very sweet, they made delicious homemade srilankan dinner for us to try. Their breakfasts were tasty & they made it according to our schedule. They have a sweet dog named Seeba who is so friendly. Staying here felt like home. From the room’s balcony, you can see waterfall, 9 arch bridge from distance & Ella rock too. By the evening, the clouds surround the balcony. Even though we went in rainy season, our room was still the cleanest & we didn’t come across any bugs in the room. We stayed for 2 days here & we wish we could’ve stayed at this beautiful place for a little bit longer. Highly recommend.

Amazing homestay in Ella with the most friendly Staff! The View is beautiful und the breakfast is absolutely delicious. The Scooter we rented from them was perfect, to get around Ella. Also the Taxi Service they offerd took us to Udawalawe. All in all it was a perfect stay and we would love to come back one day :)

The most amazing stay - gorgeous, clean, spacious room & bathroom with the best view of Ella & the waterfall & the best breakfast we had so far in Sri Lanka but the biggest highlight really was the family who own the property; super friendly & welcoming & nothing was ever too much trouble. They even messaged after we left to make sure we arrived safely at our next destination & organised our laundry at a very reasonable price. They really did make our stay so enjoyable - if you’re unsure, just book - you won’t regret it :). 5 mins by tuk tuk outside Ella!

Loved everything :)

We had a great stay at this family owned business. This apartment just started in february and is highly recommended! We had many different, but always delicious breakfasts here with always a lot of great, fresh fruit. The family easily drives you to Ella with one of their two tuktuks. We will miss this place with a fantastic view!

Nothing really. The bed is not the best we ever had, but the view and spacious room make up for that.

- The view was beautiful - The staff was very friendly and helpful - Breakfast was very good, we didn't try dinner - The room was comfortable and clean

- Location was a bit outside, 30 mins walking distance approximately - Shower pressure was low

The best accommodation we have had in Sri Lanka. Staff were very kind and friendly.

Actually everything was cool and fine. best customer service and super clean area. breakfast was amazing. a peaceful and a calm area which you cannot find easily around the city. the view was super cool. i recommend anyone who visits ella this is the best, calm, peaceful place where you can fulfil your tour with happiness
