Charming View Homestay

Está fuera del centro pero a solo 10 min andando por las vías de tren! Muy simpáticos y desayuno muy buena! Dormimos en la habitación abajo y está recién pintada y todo limpio!!

Nada

Le Personnel très gentils et accueillant, l'endroit magique avec une belle vu, on a le train qui passe devant la terrasse 2 fois par jours,assez amusant pour les enfants, on passe sur le chemin de fer pour aller au centre ville de Ella 10 min a pied. Emplacement idéal car pas loin du centre ville mais dans un endroit très calme. Un petit déjeuner copieux et délicieux. Je recommande cette endroit.

L’emplacement était top, au calme mais proche d’Ella. Des petits resto pas chers tout proches. La propreté de la chambre. Les petits déjeuners variés et exceptionnels.

Le wifi inconstant

Great view of train track and waterfall and lovely balcony and a large private family room with 2 double beds. You can walk down the track into Ella easily. Hosts provided a great breakfast.

At this rate you expect a basic stay so just pointing out to help others that there is no fridge, no aircon, hard to get into town via tuk tuk as it’s hard to call transport to the guest house. The shower is either boiling hot or freezing cold. Sheets and towels are a bit old. But its value for money as the room is large, clean and the breakfast was really good. The family are very nice and kind.

The hosts were lovely and the location and view amazing.

Rooms can be warm in evening although there are fans.

Charming view and charming hosts. We were very well looked after and happy to be staying here.

Superbe vue ! Chambre spacieuse, douche chaude Bon petit déjeuner A 10min à pied du centre ville par les rails Endroit très calme

Rien

Super petit déjeuner, emplacement chouette, vue imprenable !

Vraiment très bien placé..assez éloigné d Ella ( et de ses nuisances sonores ) tout en étant à moins de 10minutes à pied du centre ville. Raccourci très pratique par la voie ferrée. Famille très aimable et souriante. La vue depuis la terrasse de la chambre est vraiment très belle. Petit déjeuner extra servi en terrasse, le Top ! Le cadre est luxuriant. Excellent rapport prix ! Dommage qu Ella soit pas terrible ( beaucoup beaucoup trop touristique) Heureusement la région est très jolies, plein de chouettes ballades.

Un peu mal indiqué pour trouver la Guesthouse. Il y a tellement de pensions,

Very nice hosts, great view, very good breakfast and good price

Über die Bahngleise war das Zentrum per Fuß doch recht gut erreichbar. Wunderbare Terrasse mit Blick auf Ella.

Frühstück war okay, etwas spartanischer als unsere vorherigen Unterkünfte, kein Kaffee. Prinzipiell, war es aber sehr gut.

Встретили позже указанного времени заселения, красивые виды с высоты, виден водопад, а по жд путям можно добраться до города внизу. Завтрак простой, без кофе, но в целом вкусно

Не положили второе одеяло, вторая постель в принципе как будто была не застелена. Так же небыло горячей воды, то ли нагреватель был сломан, то ли не включен. На высоте довольно прохладно и холодный душ был испытанием.

De locatie & het uitzicht waren perfect. Vanaf de locatie loop je gemakkelijk via het spoor binnen 10 minuten naar het centrum. De wandeling op zich is al een leuke ervaring. En doordat je iets buiten het centrum zit, word je wakker met het geluid van vogels en het water van de waterval waar je op kijkt. Echt een dikke aanrader hier te slapen tijdens je verblijf in Ella!

Facilité pour aller dans le centre d'Ella...par la voie ferrée !

Sincèrement exceptionnel. Vue de carte postale. Accueil très agréable, super petit déjeuner. A 10mn du centre ville a pied en passant par les rails, c'est la encore qq chose d'unique et propre à Ella. Je n'hésiterais pas à revenir. Merci beaucoup

Perfect location, only 10 minutes away from the city center. The guest-house is running by a lovely family, and the rooms have an amazing view by the nature and the waterfall.

The breakfast, the view, the quiet.

Was für ein Blick! Charming View ist untertrieben :-). Nette Gastgeber, gutes Frühstück.

Très bon accueil, emplacement idéal pour la randonnée Ella Rock et une vie splendide.

Le passage du train un peu bruyant le matin mais très beau point de vue pour observer son passage.

Sehr gutes Frühstück. Tolle Lage mit Sicht auf die Berge und den Wasserfall. Direkt an den Bahngleisen gelegen mit kurzem Weg ins Zentrum.

Unteres Zimmer etwas muffig mit weniger Aussicht.

Very nice and spacious room with comfortabel beds, great shower and a big terrace with beautiful view. Town is only a short walk along the railway tracks. Breakfast was good and had variaty.

Staff was very friendly but hardly spoke any English, so couldn't give us any information or advice about Ella or it's surroundings.

Die Räumlichkeiten waren sauber und gut. Alles hat funktioniert. Sehr schöne Aussicht. Der Service war gut. Aber wirklich sehr sehr gut war das Frühstück. Jeden Morgen etwas anderes landestypische, aber eines hat besser geschmeckt als das andere. Für uns war es das beste Frühstück auf unserer Sri-Lanka Reise. Die Unterkunft würde ich jederzeit wieder buchen. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Wenn man mit dem Auto unterwegs ist, ist die Unterkunft etwas abgelegen, aber über gute Straßen gut erreichbar. Angeblich sind es zu Fuß über die Gleisen nur 10 Minuten in die City. Haben wir nicht ausprobiert. Abgesehen von der Unterkunft, würde ich vermutlich bei der nächsten Sri-Lanka Reise Ella meiden, weil es extrem touristisch ist und in der Innenstadt ein permanentes Verkehrschaos herrscht, mit viel Smog.

La ubicación muy buena, estás a 10 minutos del centro andando por las vías. El desayuno genial en la terraza. La lavandería nos la gestionaron ellos sencillamente.

Fantastisch uitzicht vanaf ons terras, zeer aardige gastvrouw en gastheer en op loopafstand van het gezellige centrum

Vanaf het terras kon je de trein eronder zien rijden. Dit was eigenlijk heel leuk om te zien, maar gaf ook wat lawaai.

Geweldig uitzicht met Ella Rock, waterval en treinrails. Korte wandeling over spoor om naar centrum te lopen

Kamers zijn basic en communicatie wat lastiger

Расположение отличное. Сам город очень шумный, проблемы с парковкой, вообще не нашли место, где можно стать, а где остановились, там штраф. Скорее уехали на заселение. Место тихое, единственное, дорога страшновата, под горку, но без проблем проехали и было место для парковки. Под окном ходят каждый час поезда, нам не мешало (ночью не ходят, часов с 6.30 утра), зато атмосфера очень интересная. По путям 10 минут до города, идти не страшно, все так ходят, главное, знать время прохода поезда. И не надо обходить далеко. Восприняли как приключение, соответствующее месту) по проводам бегают бурундуки. Красивый сад вокруг. А ночью можно рассмотреть млечный путь. Хозяева приятные. Угостили при заезде печеньем и бананами, было очень приятно. Номер неплохой, ничего лишнего, но для проживания комфортно. Были сетки на кроватях. Чисто. Всем довольны, благодарим за гостеприимство.

Не очень понравился завтрак.

We stayed in a small but cozy private room with hot water and a welcoming atmosphere. The lovely hosts greeted us with tea and served a generous breakfast in the morning. The absolute highlight was the breathtaking view – true to the name! From our private terrace we could see Little Adam’s Peak on one side and a waterfall on the other. Below the terrace, our children loved watching the train pass by, excited for their own ride the next day. A warm, peaceful stay with unforgettable scenery.

Nice and clean little homestay that has everything you can ask for. And it sure is a nice and charming view! A short walk on the train tracks! takes you to the city. Nice breakfast. The host helped with laundry.

Nothing bad.

View from the terrace was absolutely amazing!! Staff is so kind and helpful, we had breakfast on the terrace every morning, they helped us arrange the tuk tuk since the pick me application couldn’t find the location.

The apartment could be little more clean, the blankets and towels had some strange smell :/

We had a fantastic stay! The hosts were excellent—extremely friendly and hospitable throughout our visit. The location is very convenient, with Ella town just a 5-minute walk away via the railway track. It's about a 30–40 minute scenic walk to the Nine Arch Bridge along the same track, which we really enjoyed. After a fun night out in town, taking a tuk-tuk back was a great option when we felt a bit too tired to walk. The property is centrally located, making it easy to access all the main attractions. A special bonus was the beautiful view of the waterfall, especially from the top level—absolutely stunning even if it is at the distance! The house is near the railway track, and the occasional passing train was actually a charming and unique part of the experience.

Relax place 10 min walk from center on the railway road. Friendly host. Good bed and bathroom. Only strange that the toilet is after the shower. If you shower in the evening and need to go to the toilet you need to walk in the wet place and there is no ventilation.

Wonderful view of the waterfall and easy access to Ella rock hike via the train line in front of the house. Great little restaurant not far away (savory heaven). Takes about 15 minutes to get into town, worth getting a scooter

I missed not having a sheet to put between myself and the comforter at night. The mattress and pillows seemed quite old, the room could need a refresh in general (new mattress and pillows, new white sheets to make it look clean).

Beautiful view from the room, and lovely family who took care of us. Really nice breakfast too. Perfect if you’re looking for basic accommodation a short walk from town

Room and bathroom a bit out dated but still functional

Amazing staff, great location, gorgeous homemade breakfast!

I personally liked the close proximity to the train tracks, which were literally a stone's throw from the accommodation. This also made it an easy trip to the city centre via them. Breakfast was sufficient to start the day.

Quite challenging for a passenger car, but nothing that couldn't be handled with better experience.

I recommed this places, especially because of location.The rooms we had were very comfortable and clean, the upper one has an amazing view. Accommodation was just near the railway, so we had a fast way to get to the center on our own. The trains didn't go at night - we slept well :) The staff was friendly and breakfast was very tasty. Note: although Booking.com shows payment in USD, payment in local currency is preferred.

We could not turn on warm water in one of the rooms.

The homestay is a little bit outside of the city close to the railway tracks, where it is a little bit calmer than in the city center. You can easily walk to the main road over the railway tracks within 10 min. The family was really nice and the breakfast was delicious!

Unfortunately there are currently some constructions ongoing and there were workers directly in front of our terrace and room so we didn't really get our privacy. Additionally the there was mold and a musty smell in the bathroom.

Great place, we can only recommend to stay here. As many stated it is faster to reach than Google says, thanks to the possibility to walk next to the railway. The room was big and clean. The breakfast was the best we had and we even got bisquits and tea in the afternoon. Very nice family running the place!

Stunning view from the own balcony. Perfect location just 10 minute walk from Ella city. As not ok the center not loud. Very good breakfast.

The location is good, in the woods, close to waterfall. There are 2 rooms available for guest, each has a 2 double beds (4 persons in total). And both has a waterfall view. The upper room is dry, but the one on the first floor is kind of damp.

1. The down room is kind of wet. 2. Wi-fi almost doesn’t work. 3. Little shelves and racks for clothes. 4. Water heater on the second floor, i was on the first floor and we had shortages with the hot water.

Very comfy bed and clean room. A bit far away from the town but short distance by train tracks and okay price with tuk tuk. Spectacular views from the balcony and nice breakfast.

Very nice staying Nice and friendly family Excellent breakfast and amazing view of the mountains and waterfalls!

The family greeted us with tea and cookies. They were very friendly the whole time and they made a delicious breakfast which was a little different every morning. The room was very clean and had everything we needed including a very good mosquito net. The view from the balcony, where you‘ll also have the breakfast is very nice. To go to town you can walk on the railway which only takes about 15-20 minutes. I can really recommend it.

There is no A/C and it‘s really warm in the room. We had to open the door during the night and put the fan there. And unfortunately locals burned plastic nearby (quite often) and the smoke came into the room.

Good view, good room, good stuff and near to the center

Nothing

Everything was great, amazing view, very nice hosts, delicious breakfasts, we sincerely recommend it!

Stunning private view that really made us feel relaxed, it was beautiful and we loved seeing waterfall and mountains amongst the forest. Comfortable stay and nice basic breakfast with sri lankan items given by the family, every morning with the beautiful view. It is next to train tracks and you can see trains come and go, which actually was quite interesting for us! it doesn't run past 7:30/8pm at night. The room is of a good size. The hosting family are warm and welcoming, even though they couldn't understand the english at times, they tried their best to guide us.

The room has only one standing fan and you can't open the door to make it cooler at night (due to outdoor bugs). The water pressure was quite weak. We were a couple and could only use 1 side table whilst we slept, the room could use 2 more side tables if they want to accommodate for 4 guests. There are also limited plug sockets for charging 3 devices between 2 people. I would recommend them not to put the hairdryer in the bathroom near the shower.

Stunning location with great view of the waterfall and countryside. 10 minute walk along the train line into town. Great breakfast provided. Owners lovely

Nothing

Beautiful views. Welcome tea.

The included breakfast was kind of local type and not everyone can appreciate it but it was okish.

Big room with spacious terrace, 2 double beds and still enough space. wonderful view from the terrace . Nice hosts who speak little English but are always willing to help.

The neighbors have dogs which are barking during the night.

Very friendly family with great hospitality. The views where amazing

The people are very friendly, the views are lovely, it’s a short 10 min walk to town via the train tracks, generous breakfast portions.

The view is amazing! The room was clean and the host very kind

Amazing view and location! Lovely owners and great breakfast.

Nothing

The view is the absolute highlight, waking up to the waterfall view was incredible. The location is very quiet (but you’re right next to the tracks, so the train passes sometimes but it wasn’t too annoying) and if you go through the train tracks, you’re in the city very quickly without having to climb any hills, so that was very convenient. The breakfasts vary daily which is very thoughtful. The hot water worked fine, the bed was comfortable, there was a fan in the room. The hosts are kind but we didn’t talk much.

The Wi-Fi worked poorly for the first two days and then didn’t at all for the remaining two. We didn’t bother explaining because the communication with our hosts was complicated from start, as they don’t speak much English. We could communicate all the basic things we needed but it would have been nice to be able to chat more, ask for sightseeing tips etc.

Kind hosts, excellent view of the waterfall and mountains from the room, large terrace, delicious breakfast.

Slightly slippery shower floor, need to be careful.

I loved the typical breakfast🍌🍉 they prepared :)❤️, the family 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 welcomed me with open arms, the room was super spacious, the bed was very comfortable🛏️. They had a hairdryer in the bathroom! A fan (blower), television 📺... everything perfect! The terrace was very quiet, the views were breathtaking, the waterfall, the mountains... YOU WILL LOVE IT!😍😍 THE FAMILY, THE ROOM, THE PLACE AND THE FOOD WERE EXCELLENT.

Property is bful and located away from market which is what we wanted, its 10min to market via tuk tuk. owner and his family are very polite and nice people, helpful too and they will take care of everything you need. They also arranged vegetarian breakfast which was delicious and helped with everything we asked.

Very poor wifi, you cant open any browser at all

The view from the room was stunning. The hosts made sure we were comfortable and prepared a delicious, authentic Sri Lankan breakfast.

We took our own vehicle. The parking space is insufficient for turning the vehicle. struggled a bit to make the turn.

Best

Everything was perfect. We stayed here for 4 nights. Initially 3 but we extended our stay. Hosts were amaizing, friendly and very helpful, we couldn't have wished for more. The room was very comfortable and big. Bathroom was great as well. The view from our private balcony was amazing, looking at the waterfall, Ella rock, Adams peak and more. The train was pasing by near the guest house as well. It's very well located, 10min walk from the city center, in a peaceful, quiet and charming environment. This was the best homestay in Sri Lanka we have stayed in. Breakfest was amaizing, diverse, delicious and more than enough. Price was more than acceptable, we would be happy to pay more to stay in this wonderful homestay with the amazing family hosting us.

This stay was our best accomodation in Sri Lanka. The hosts family was very kind and friendly and helpful. The room was nice, clean and cozy. The breakfast was amazing. We also got welcome tea after our arrival. Sometimes during the storms, the electricity didn´t work for a while and the hosts immediately brought a bettery torch (flashlight). From the terrace was amazing view on the hills and on the waterfall.

That was an amazing stay, beautiful from the balcony on the mountains and waterfall. Very helpfull family, local breakfast.

AC or fan in the room is needed (they brought their own for us).

Amazing location, beautiful view of Ella rock and waterfall. The railway line is just below the house so you can see the passing trains. There is a lovely balcony and if you are looking for a real authentic experience this is the place to stay. The family are really nice and helpful and you are greeted with tea, biscuits and bananas on arrival. I would recommend this homestay 100%

Nothing

very clean and comfortable place , charming view as they called you can see waterfall and Ella rock from the Balcony.

perfect cleanliness, spacious room and balcony, nice view from the balcony, welcoming owner and his family

waterfall cannot be seen from the balcony due to large trees in front
