Beautiful views, comfy bed, clean bathroom with warm shower, great breakky, lovely host
Les hôtes sont très accueillants et gentils. Il y a une belle vue de la terrasse et la chambre est propre et très spacieuse. Bon rapport qualité prix !
Établissement un peu isolé et assez difficile d’accès en tuktuk, il faut donc marcher 5-10min depuis la route mais ça grimpe fort.
Une grande chambre familiale avec une belle terrasse. Le propriétaire est très attentionné. Il nous attendait avec un parapluie quand on rentrait et qu il pleuvait ! Il nous a offert des avocats de son jardin en partant. Les dîners sont très bons ainsi que les petits déjeuners.
Le logement est assez isolé et plutôt difficile d accès surtout par temps de pluie !
Camera immersa nel verde. Bellissima, si vedevano le lucciole. Camera grande e molto pulita. Ci è piaciuto molto.
tolles Frühstück, super nette Familie, toller Blick über ella...tolle Unterkunft
La hospitalidad de Saman y su familia. Son geniales.. nos subieron las maletas porque era una cuesta muy alta. Las vistas increíbles, el desayuno local estupoendo, nos recibieron con pastas y té
Nada, todo okey
La habitacion era muy amplia y los propuetarios super atentos y amables.
Cuesta un poco de encontrar ka ubicacion pero uba vez alli estuvo genial.
Nous avons passé une nuit, l'accueil par la famille a été extraordinaire, d'une gentillesse incroyable. Le petit déjeuner était excellent. Je recommande à 100%
Rien
L'accoglienza del personale, la pulizia della struttura e la colazione .
Purtroppo il secondo letto matrimoniale aveva un materasso un po' troppo sottile.
Toller Ausblick, sehr freundlicher Gastgeber, tolles Frühstück, kühles Zimmer, auch ohne Klimaanlage
The HOSPITALITY IS BEYOND IMAGINATION.
Very steep road to get there, very isolated place and a long walk down the mountain to just get to a shop. My tuktuk was very low on fuel, I asked the host to take me to a fuel station and he said "no". They do not do evening food either. No a/c.
Очень добрый позитивный хозяин, заботливый и внимательный, всегда накормит и поможет, встретил как дочку, очень мило. В номере нереально красивый вид, из окон видно рассвет, тихо, слышно птичек и сверчков, от комаров есть у кровати занавес, номер большой, чистый и комфротный, есть горячая вода, даже фен и плойка. Правда присутствует немного странный запах, я зажгла благовония и все стало хорошо. Шикарный завтрак в удобное для вас время. Строят ещё два номера повыше с ещё более красивым видом, пусть у этой семьи все получится достроить, чтобы также дружелюбно принимать большее количество людей :)
Ночью может быть сложновато найти путь, но вид на рассвете того стоит :)
Estancia muy agradable, apartado del centro, en la montaña, pero muy agradable porque amaneces en medio de la montaña con unas vistas impresionantes! El desayuno genial y muy completo incluido en el precio, que te sirven en la terraza de tu habitación con vistas al Ella's Rock. El dueño fue súper amable con nosotros.
Lo único que no nos gustó es que la habitación olía demasiado a humedad.
We absolutely loved our stay at Sun View Resort. The room was spacious and clean. What I loved the most was the terrace, where you can have a lovely breakfast or a cup of coffee surrounded by nature. We also loved the location itself - peaceful and very beautiful. It's a 20-minute walk from the center, but in my opinion this area is much nicer, as the center is very touristic.
Bel endroit sur les hauteurs d’Ella. La famille est adorable.
Attention, ça grimpe dur pour y venir
Gostitelj je bil zelo prijazen in ustrežljiv, uredil nam je tudi prevoz. Večerja je bila okusna, a nekoliko draga. Terasa je prijetna. Lokacija je oddaljena in pot do tja je strma. Okolica je mirna in v naravi.
Pomanjkanje tople vode in dražja večerja.
The host was really friendly, sincere and helpful. Greetings for his daughter!
The property was located at such a high altitude that even a tuk-tuk could not reach it, so we had to walk about 500 meters on a road that was definitely not in the best condition. The room amenities were average - it was fine for a one night stay, but we would not choose it for a longer stay - the mattresses were too thin, the room itself was very damp and there were no extra warm blankets. There were only extra pillows, but they did not seem clean. I knew, that the view from the room’s terrace should be stunning, but it turns out, that the view is now blocked by an unfinished hotel…breakfast was average, very very economical.
Great experience staying at sun view. A great family providing the perfect accommodation and food!

Struttura completamente immersa nel verde e lontano dal caos e turismo di massa di Ella! La camera é molto basic però fa il suo dovere. Abbiamo riposato veramente bene e nel silenzio! I proprietari sono veramente gentili e amorevoli, ti accolgono con calore e sono disponibili per qualsiasi cosa. Abbiamo anche cenato lì ed era delizioso!
La camera bella e il proprietario è stato gentile. Ci hanno accolto con gentilezza e con un the di benvenuto veramente apprezzato.
La cena! Abbiamo pagato come un ristorante per mangiare veramente poco. Raggiungere la casa, anche con i taxi, è veramente complicato si deve percorrere una strada stretta e privata che nessuno conosce.
Die Lage ist mega. Weit von Trubel entfernt, mitten in der Natur. Unsere Host war unvergesslich, wahnsinnig aufmerksam und sehr gut gelaunt. Frühstück war toll. Vielen Dank 😀
The view is amazing. Nice host and family. All the best with the newborn. The location is perfect for hiking to ella rock and visiting the main street of ella. But luckily not too close so it is quiet at night. Breakfast is very nice and comes together with the amazing view. Must stay place in Ella.
Nothing
Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, buona la colazione inclusa, servita sul terrazzo davanti la camera. Famiglia molto accogliente e gentile
La posizione, per quanto si goda di una bellissima vista, non è buona. Abbastanza decentrato dalla strada principale, dove si trovano ristoranti e negozi. Il nostro driver non poteva raggiungerla con il van e siamo stati costretti caricare i bagagli su 2 tuc tuc e salire a nostre spese. In alternativa si può raggiungere con una lunga scalinata. A scendere usavamo quella ma per risalire era necessario un tuc tuc.
Nos gustó la amabilidad de Sama y la tranquilidad del entorno.
Faltaba una mosquitera en una de las camas y había un olor fuerte a amoniaco en el baño.
La chambre de cette guesthouse est magnifique et très confortable. Magnifique vue notamment pour le lever du soleil sur Ella's rock et Little Adam's pick. Les hôtes sont d'une grande hospitalité. Petit déjeuner et rice and curry sur la terrasse excellents. Notre séjour chez eux reste l'un de nos meilleurs souvenirs au Sri Lanka.
Die Aussicht und der Sonnenaufgang waren herrlich. Morgens wurde man von dem Gezwitscher der Vögel geweckt, die Affen gehören zum Garten dazu. Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich und herzlich. Wir wurden mit einem Tee empfangen und hatten ein leckeres, landestypische Frühstück. Anfragen/Wünsche wurden umgehend erfüllt. Die Umgebung ist sehr ruhig. Wir können die Unterkunft absolut empfehlen.
Good accomodation in Ella. The room is quite basic but ok for short stay. Beds are big and acceptably comfortable. Breakfast is good but a little small. Quite place.
The room need a makeover, musty smell solved by keeping doors open, wi-fi is very poor.
I had a lovely stay at Sun View Resort in Ella. The room was spacious, clean, and set high amongst the trees, which gave it a peaceful, tucked-away feel I really enjoyed. Summer was a friendly and helpful host, and I appreciated his welcoming attitude. Just a note for future travellers: while the location is beautifully serene, it costs around Rs. 1000 to 1200 for a tuk-tuk one way to the main road. The hot water was a bit inconsistent during my stay, but overall, I had a comfortable and restful time. Thank you for the hospitality. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, nature-filled escape.
Friendly staff and very safe place
The room is - compared to other accommodations - bigger than we had expected. It's clean and rather comfortable. The bathroom is functional and the bed comfortable. The terrace offers a nice view to Little Adam's Peak and the surrounding area. The breakfast was Sri Lanka style and really tasty (we loved the coconut pancakes). You can get hot water for coffee or tea upon request.
The mouldy smell was beyond our expectations, everything was damp and wet, like when you enter the basement of an old building (however, there seems to be an issue with mould in the whole Ella region, so it might be the same in other accommodations). The same holds for the access road: there are two ways to the property. The first one is an extremely steep road which was even too much for our 125 cc scooter (2 people on it). That's the way Google Maps guides you to the accommodation, yet the host did not inform us about that and did not advise us to use the other one. The second access road - the host calls it the "good road" - is still steep and only a dirt road with huge potholes. Even as an experienced scooter driver it was hard, especially at night (and after rain) when you want to go for a sunrise tour to Ella Rock or Little Adam's Peak. The view from the terrace is really good. Unfortunately, there is construction work at the nearby building, meaning that you have some noise all day long and as soon as the building is finished, the view will probably be gone. There is also construction noise from above, as another story is currently added to the property. Last, the dog barks a lot (on two occasions 45 min non-stop), two light bulbs weren't working, one pillow was extremely (!) hard, there is no kettle in the room (but you get hot water upon request), and due to the high humidity and no AC, the water after taking a shower takes ages to dry.
No one had a detailed review about the City or this place. Ella by itself is very expensive for no reason compared to other parts of country. To me its a complete rip off on foreign folks. I would never recommend more than one night at this city as its not worth the expense including travel and food. This stay place just compounds to that. We were two adults and two teens. 1.0 Getting there with Tuk Tuk is a problem. Most of them just stop 250m before this place where you might have lug through narrow steps to reach. The tuk tuk rate to this place is min 1000LKR. 2.0 There is nothing near by to grab for eating around this place. You are pretty much stuck helpless 3,0 The food they provide is a complete rip off, Its not even 25% of money worthiness. Just a basic Rice and Curry costs 1500LKR per person. The breakfast you get is one small palm size Srilankan Rotti and a pancake with filling and tea . The portion size is not enough for a teen. 3.0 Even the first day water bottles provided are charged at 150LKR. 4.0 There were two cots with very very basic beds and sheet over it. There is nothing else there in the room. 5.0 WIFI never works there. First day there were bit of rain and the person told if there is cloud it does not work But next day with sun as well, it never works. 5.0 He charges 5K LKR for just taking a guide trip to Ella Rock for three hrs. 6.0 The view from outside the room has blocked valley view by the trees. You have to climb up the stairs for clear view. 7.0 If you end up using their clothes washer facility, then you will be taken for a ride. So be prepared for when you make a choice, 8.0 I had planned three night stay and after checking in immediately I decided to cancel the third night. 9.0 The owner / caretaker has two faces. I got to see both the faces before and after handing over the bill. Please check all the pricing before you take any service, at this place. This long comment is to know what to expect when anyone books.
Everything
Very good place, and super nice owner!
Amazing place away from the noise and in nature, great breakfast and friendly owners as well.
Very high up with amazing views !
The steps down to the town were a bit challenging ( we are in our 60’s). We later found that although the road was longer it would be easier.
The hosts were very kind and helpful, and the outdoor area where you could relax and have breakfast had lovely views over to Ella Rock and the mountains. It was peaceful, quiet and truly up and away from the hub of Ella town.
The room unfortunately was damp, musty and smelt of mould. It made our dry clothes damp inside the room. Air conditioner or fan may have helped.
The hosts were amazing and very helpful whenever I needed anything. The room was a great size and kept clean. The food was also great and the views were an amazing bonus.
lovely comfortable and clean room with beautiful views. Set in among nature; in a very peaceful area. The family takes great care of you to ensure your stay is enjoyable. Breakfast is fantastic and I also had dinner there a couple of nights too; is the best Sri Lankan food I've tasted on my travels here; a great cook ! Well worth a stay here!
The views are stunning, it’s a twenty minute hike out of the town, so you will need to be fit to walk it or taxi,bike of tuk tuk. The owner rented a bike to us which made transport easy. It’s serene and the sunrise is beautiful, you’re up in the clouds. Bed is comfy, shower is warmish. Top tip, on a hot day, go for a swim at the Mountain Heavens hotel 🤌
Bit musky and drab
Saman and his family are taking really good care of their guest! I rented their scooter and couldn’t find the proper way and saman got on the scooter with me and drove me from where it was very clear how to go! Other than that the terrace is absolutely loving and the breakfast is amazing !!! Also the cooked Curry in the evening was absolutely delicious!! I really enjoyed staying with them and would definitely come back!
It’s actually really far out of town but very quite and up in the mountains! I didn’t have a problem to walk the last bits from the stairs but could be a problem for people!
Sunrise view is stunning and the owners are soooo kind and nice! Room and bathroom were very clean and spacious Breakfast and dinner are tasty and huge 😁
Its on the top the hill, 20 minutes walk from the village, not the best if you want to go out at night
The hosts were very kind and accommodating, you can tell they really care about their guest experience. The breakfast in the morning was delicious, and the views are unmatched. I feel so lucky to have stayed here. I will recommend this accommodation to everyone.
Very nice view and quiet place. The host family was very supportive and breakfast and dinner were very good as well. They have a lovely view from the terrace with good possibility to see a sunrise over little Adams Peak and Ella Rock.
The place is a bit off the beaten path so it is not very easy to get to. But i think the owners will help if needed.
Whole family is lovely and we felt like home. Comfortable bed. Hot water. They also offers loundry. The food is so tasty! The view is amazing. We also loved the location which is a bit off the city on the hill but for someone it could be a problem.
Amazing view. One of our best accomodation so. Lovely Hosts, Good breakfast, very clean place. Magical
The biggest assets are the incredible kind host family and the view. Room size is also great! Know that the location is quite remote (you have to work for the view, all worth it). Walking to Ella town is still possible though. Food at the location is excellent, make sure you eat in a couple of nights! Sun View Resort consists of the one room. There's no airconditioning (even though Booking did mention this - that's why I'm writing it here), but the room remained cool enough. Laundry service was super fast. The WiFi wasn't, but that wasn't an issue. Breakfast was amazing each morning. Our family with 2 small kids totally recommend this place! Thank you for having us and the super special stay. We're lucky people :-)
I had a fantastic stay at Sun View Resort and Saman and his family really made the extra mile to make me feel as comfy as possible. Although the way up the hill is quite demanding, it really pays off with an amazing view, quietness, good oxygyn as well as free tea and cookies. A special thanks goes to Saman who is an amazing host. On Poson Poya he took me to the nearby temple to watch the evening celebrations. For the sunrise on the next morning, I was allowed to get up to their terrace to get an even broader view on Adams Peak and Ella Rock. I was served a delicious local breakfast and Saman offered to be my personal guide to hike up the Ella Rock for a small fee (5000 Rs). The rice and curry for dinner was foreigner friendly (low spice level). Moreover, the room was exceptionally clean and spacious. Lights and sockets were close to the bed. Fan and mosquito net was provided. There was hot water as well. Sun View Resort is definitely the place to go if you search for something realaxing outside the hustle and bustle. It is very very good value for money. I can recommend it 100% and would come again. Thank you Saman and your family for the great hospitality.
the kndness of the host. the calm and quieteness of the place. The exceptional breakfast and dinner.
The family was so nice. The food was homemade and very delicious. Waking up to that mountain View and the birds. Truly beautiful❤
Best view (beautiful rainforest, Ella Rock and Little Adam’s Peak) from a spacious private balcony
Very kind and attentive guests
They booked a driver for us the day after and they didn’t get the hour right, he arrived more than 2 hours late
The hosts of Sun View Resort Kithalella do everything possible to make you happy. I had a bit of a primadonna moment at the beginning of my stay and they handeled it very well and were very accommodating. Also when I twisted my ankle they were there to help. The entire family is very welcoming. The place is tucked up on the hills facing Little Adam's Rock and Ella Rock , the room had a patio, so perfect for sunrise watching. The Room was more than spacious. I loved to wake up in the morning with nothing but sounds from the woods around me. It is a quiet and natural paradise. The breakfast and dinner were also super yummy and more than plentiful.
It's very good. The breakfast is very tasty,The scenery is very beautiful when you get up in the morning.
no
Big room with beautiful view. Fresh breakfast. Friendly hosts.
The property was very nice, clean and spacious. The terrace was private and gave plenty of privacy and space to read in the evening. Good breakfast; they also gave us a take away for the last day. We had laundry there for a fair price. The property is far from the centre; this is well indicated in the description and map, but we underestimated it.
Nothing to say here
Great view especially for sunrise, tasty food and very helpful host - we felt like at home. Highly recommended!
beautiful balcony for breakfast, big room and a big bed, great view into the valley and the breakfast was really good
Best value for money I ever got in Sri Lanka - like my own little house. LOVED IT!
The way there was a bit tough but nothing too bad.
We had a very great time in Ella and would love come back sometime. The host and his family are incredibly friendly, he also showed us his garden where we could observe many animals and invited us for a tea at the end. The accommodation is right in the nature and the view is incredible, you can even watch the sunrise from the balcony. We had breakfast and dinner and everything was delicious. Thank you for the great experience!
Very good breakfat and dinner. Very helpful owner. Thank you for everything.
Samar was a great host and we had the best coconut sambal for breakfast. The room was large and the shower was hot! the views in the morning are unreal!
It was quite far from town up a large hill. 35 min walk or about 15 min drive.
Amazing views, beautiful room, nice breakfast, comfortable bed. Large bathroom, friendly staff
Wifi didn't work for me, Long hike up mountain to get to room (or taxi ride), great value
- friendly host - amazing mountains view - beautiful spacious and clean room - good WiFi - very tasty dinner and breakfast - stunning Sunrises
- Everything was fine
One of the most beautiful places where we stayed in Sri Lanka, with the most amazing view on the mountains and the jungle. You can watch the sunrise from your bed and enjoy your breakfast surrounded by birdsong. Room and bathroom are spacious and clean, breakfast is abundant and with delicious food and fruit. We rented a scooter and it was great. The family is the kindest, it went the extra mile to help us with anything we needed making sure we had the best stay. Thank you!
Nothing
The view from the room and balcony is amazing. The breakfast is very tasty. The couple is very nice and helpful. I regret not having booked an additional night.
The guest house is up a hill, so keep in mind if you're coming with a car or with a suitcase :)
We spent four nights at Sun View Resort. If you're looking for a place to stay where it's peaceful and quiet and where you can enjoy the sounds of the birds in the morning and beautiful sunrise from your bed, then this is the place to be! Very spacious and clean room. Breakfast was really good. Family was very hospitable and making sure everything was OK.
It’s rather far from Ella town. For the ones WITHOUT own transportation: It's a (exhausting) 30-40 min walk UPHILL from the center of town. Be aware the tuktuk overcharge you asking 1500LKR for a one way. Ask the locals for the shortcuts (stairs) to go up and down, otherwise take a tuktuk (normally 500 LKR) or wait at the junction before entering Ella for the red bus to Kitalella which goes up from the junction (instead of entering the center of Ella), get off at New Green View Ella and walk from there a little uphill and then straight (15min walk, bus costs no more than 50LKR). The family was very hospitable but to a certain extend the friendliness of the man was making us feel uncomfortable. He for example woke us up at 6.20 am yelling "Hello... sunrise!" while we were still sleeping. Communication at times was difficult as he didn't always seem to understand us (in English). The Wifi modem was on, but the connection was really bad. Throughout our stay (4 nights) the Wifi didn't work.
Everything was great, we arrived late but the host was friendly and calm. He told me the easiest way to get to the hotel, he called the transport himself. A great view from the room directly to the mountains, you can hear the waterfall, which can be observed right there. The host accompanied us to the top of the mountain and back, introduced us to the plants and animals we met along the way, and showed us a beautiful view.
It's bad when the vacation ends quickly .
First of all, this very lovely family are wonderful people! They welcomed us at our arrival, and offered cup of teas as it was rainy and cool outside. They will make you feel comfortable and ensure that you will spend a good time during your stay. The rooms are clean. The view from it is breathtaking. Very good value for money. Home-cooked rice & curry dinner was, as usual, big and very tasty. Breakfast is also delicious. I do recommend staying there and will certainly be back on our next visit to Ella
Even though the homestay is pretty off the road, and you have to climb a lot of steps to get there. We felt it was totally worth the view we got. Our room was very clean and the host helped us with our bags as well. The traditional food at home stay was amazing that was cooked by the host's wife. Do try the restaurant Matey that is just in the Ella city center for very yummy and affordable Sri Lankan food.
For senior individuals or who suffer from health issues, getting to the homestay might be very difficult since taxis and tuk tuk refuse to drive up the hill.
We had such a wonderful stay and our host family was so incredibly kind and warm. Everyday we received complimentary tea and sweets. The breakfast was amazing and we also had dinner there! We felt very comfortable and welcomed and our host family was the sweetest! The place is a little bit difficult to reach, but it will be worth it! The mountain view, the kindness of the family and the tranquility of the area - everything was perfect! We can 100% recommend this place!
Great homestay with an even nicer view over Ella and thr Valley. The host's hospitality is unmatched! Delicious breakfast and dinner aswell.
Sadly it's a little bit moist in the room
Amazing and welcoming place to stay. Very nice owners. There is a great view from the room. The room is spacious, nice and clean. Bed was comfortable and big. They serve very good meals, both breakfast and dinner.
The road to get to the place is not too good, but it is not their fault.
Without a doubt, this is the best accommodation I have stayed in my entire stay in Sri Lanka. The family that runs the room is wonderful. They are super nice and always wait for you with a smile and a tea pot in the afternoon. The breakfast is very rich and filling. The best thing about the accommodation is that it is literally a small apartment all to yourself, with absolute privacy. It is a large room, about 30m2, with a bathroom and two double beds. Additionally (the best thing about the house) there is a balcony with table, chairs and seats with beautiful views of Ella and the mountains. Also, at the top you can see the sun rise every morning. There is a hair dryer and all kinds of details. I highly recommend it for the peace and tranquility that this place transmits!!
Really nice hosts, the view was absolutely amazing, nice food!
Slightly hard to get there with the tuktuk by yourself (with a taxi it should be fine), but it adds to the experience!
Loved the view in the mornings, the breakfast was great and the family was soooo nice!
Everything is amazing. Food is a must! And the family is gorgeous 🙏
Nothing
Such a a lovely family that owns this property. They always made sure we had everything we needed and replied quick via message. The breakfast was delicious and the view from the room was amazing. Very relaxing wake up!
It’s not really an issue for the amazing view you get but it is far from the main town and quite a hike up the hill. Downhill is okay and there is some paths through the tea fields that make it quicker.
Cheaper than hostel and better than some hotels For this money one of the best places I’ve ever visited. Extra kind, gentle, ans responsive host
Steep road, host has some problems with English
Just amazing. Wonderful views. Such a peaceful place to be. Also, the family are really nice and their rice and curry is just amazing. You will love to see the sunrise everyday from the bed having Ella Rock and the nature right in front of your eyes. Thank you for your warm, we felt like home.
Everything is fantastic 🥰 lovely family and they are really helpful always ! Also the lady of the hotel can cook very delicious food. Highly recommend for all visit there for your holiday ❤️
This is probably the best place we stayed in Sri Lanka. Incredible views, perfect service, and a large, comfortable, and beautiful room. The family here make you feel at home and the food is incredible! We ate both breakfast and dinner here every night and was amazed each time. The room itself is cleaned to a high standard and is far superior to other rooms we’ve had at the same price. We wish we could have stayed longer.
Nothing
Despite I have stated at Sun View Resort only for two nights, it has absolutely become one of the highlights and best memories of the whole trip in Sri Lanka. Sun View Resort is set in a quiet and incredibly green area just on the hills around Ella. The room is gigantic, equipped with everything you may need (fan, hair drier, all kinds of power plugs, and many other details that show the care and attention of this family for their guests), super clean and with very comfortable beds. The room also has a patio/balcony, from where you can enjoy the intimacy of the sunrise, start your day in the best way with the delicious and lovingly prepared breakfast surrounded by nature and animals, and relax at night lulled by the sound of the forest. Although already said, breakfast is absolutely amazing: plentiful, wholesome, carefully prepared delicious, there's no better way to start off your day. As the the property is a little bit off the main streets, and perfect to escape the chaos of Ella, the family offers the possibility to additionally request for laundry, transportation, and dinner at the property. Finally, but not for importance, I would really like to thank this amazing family. They really are among the most gentle, caring and kind human beings I have met over the whole trip to Srilanka. They were discretely present throughout all my stay and making sure I was feeling welcome and safe, with however never be pressuring in any possible way. They invited me to enjoy sunrise from their terrace and left a light on the first night so that I could better find the property. They made me feel like home from the first time, and could not be grateful enough for it. If coming back to Ella, I would absolutely visit this family again - warmly recommended.
nothing, this stay was truly exceptional
very hospitable hosts, very nice family. helped us in everything and we felt that we were glad to see in this house
Very nice family. Very nice room and balcony. Very scrumptious breakfast. The family helps you with everything. The most beautiful place I have ever stayed in Sri Lanka. When you visit Ella, you should definitely meet this beautiful family and stay in this beautiful place. By the way, it is very pleasant to have a bottle of wine on the balcony in the evening. Because the balcony view is really beautiful.
Everything was perfect
