The room was clean and comfortable. Our room had a nice view on the mountains and tea fields, quiet area and with Tuktuk quickly in Ella main town. Host is super sweet and breakfast was delicious.
Widok z naszego balkonu był niesamowity. Codziennie rano jedliśmy tam urozmaicone i smaczne śniadanie, ze świeżymi owocami, omletem, świeżo wyciskanym sokiem, kawą i kilkoma daniami kuchni lankijskiej. Naprawdę pyszne. Lokalizacja była świetna, do Ella Town dojechaliśmy w około 5 minut. Była też pralnia, która była szybka i tania! Świetny prysznic z ciepłą wodą o każdej porze dnia, ładne pokoje z moskitierami, mieliśmy najlepszy sen podczas naszego pobytu – i do tego bardzo cicho. Rodzina, która prowadziła obiekt, była bardzo przyjazna.
Super atmosfera, piękny widok i cisza:) naprawdę rekomendujemy!
Really a very good place to stay. The view from the balcony is very beautiful. The breakfast is very delicious. I recommend this place to
Such a good property to stay at, great value for money. Clean and the family are very lovely, they can help you for anything you need and good recommendations. The bedroom was Although not that bigand nice. Comfortable and good temperature. It was perfect location with beautiful views and the breakfast was very good. Would recommend to anyone staying in Ella.
The breakfast was so well prepared, delicious anything we needed was provided. All food was excellent.all the staff were so helpful, and kind and helpful. The rooms were excellent and beds very comfortable. Great value for money. Top class.great location and lots to do in the area..the owner of the property gave us valuable information about local interesting sites to visit...definitely worth a visit. We hope to be back next year.
A better stay then we expected😍
First of all, the brothers at the place is very calm, reasonable, supportive and very friendly towards the guests. I stayed at a 2 person room. The view is super nice.. Great food, Great service. Definitely worth the time, money.
Super nice view and comfortable rooms.. Staff is very attentive and helpful. Delicious breakfast with options srilankan and western... We had the dinner also from the hotel was very tasty.. We will definitely come back..
Manzarası güzel
Şehir merkezine uzak ve çay bahçesinin içinde değil sadece manzarası var
Tea pick view Ella Amazing views and unforgettable food I had a wonderful stay here in Ella. The view is absolutely stunning and truly one of the highlights of this place. The hosts were very kind and welcoming, making me feel at home right away. One of the best parts of my stay was the dinner - I had some of the most delicious curries there, easily one of the best meals during my trip. Enjoying it on the beautiful terrace overlooking the surroundings made the experience even more special. I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone visiting Ella!
Our favourite stay in Sri Lanka so far! Views were incredible, staff were so helpful and friendly, bed was comfortable & shower was good - nice & hot. Breakfast was also plentiful - we had to ask them to leave a few things out on our last day as we couldn't eat it all! asela collected us from the station which we really appreciated. We also handed in laundry one morning at 9.30am and got it back by 8pm that night - such a great service! And the owners here are very kind.Always looked after us and gave us what we needed. Would really recommend staying here when in Ella!
I had a very disappointing experience at Tea Pick View Ella. The hotel is not actually located in Ella, and the road to reach the property is difficult and inconvenient. Safety was a major concern, especially for female travelers. The surrounding area felt unsafe, and we noticed suspicious people along the road who appeared to be using drugs. At night, stray dogs were barking loudly, making it very hard to sleep peacefully. The service was extremely poor, and the staff were not helpful. Cleanliness was also unacceptable. The room was not properly cleaned, and we saw frogs and cockroaches inside. The bathroom had a bad smell and was not maintained well. Overall, it was a waste of money. We booked for two nights but checked out early and moved to another lodge on Badulla Road. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
Managed by family who are helpful, but you need to be mindful that they are also busy in their family stuff most of the time, so need to grab attention. View is amazing.
The place is under renovation, so slightly disruptive. The room is on small side and toilet is smelly although its all spotless clean. (May be the drain?). Quite a bit distance away from the main town By sri lankan standard the facility is a slightly overpriced.
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful family run hotel. The family is incredibly kind, warm, and welcoming, and they truly make you feel at home. The hotel was very clean and well looked after. The location is peaceful. And the view over the tea plantations is amazing, monkeys were playing in the trees next to our balcony it was incredible To reach the main high street in Ella, you need a tuk-tuk, which costs around 500-600 LKR. They made us breakfast every morning, traditional Sri Lankan breakfast of eggs, coconut pancakes, roti & fruit. Nothing crazy but still yummy. The husband and wife who run the hotel are very accommodating and happy to help with almost any request. They arranged a tuk-tuk driver for us, and in one day we were able to visit Nine Arches Bridge, Ella Temple, and a tea plantation for 3,000 LKR. Laundry service was also available at 890 LKR per kilo, and our clothes were returned clean and neatly folded. Their children (aged 3 and 8) are incredibly polite and lovely, such a sweet family. We truly enjoyed our stay and would 100% recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Ella.
If you are looking for a quiet homestay to take a break from hotels, this is the place for you. We only stayed here for one night, as it was our overnight stop on our way to Galle, but it was enough time to see how special this place is. It is newly built, and is located away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It has a beautiful view of the mountains and tea plantations that you appreciate as soon as you open your eyes in the morning. It is well maintained, clean and tidy. However, the whole experience would not have been the same without the warm welcome and hospitality of the owner Asela and her family. They organized a Sri Lankan dinner and breakfast for us and made us feel very welcome. If we go back to Ella, we will definitely come back.
A beautiful place that felt like our home😍
Nice and comfortable! You got your own big balcony facing a beautiful view quitely. Their hospitality are very warm and welcoming. I love this place. If one day i visited Ella again , I will choose here again definitely.

Located in a calmer area from Ella. Nice view on tea fields. The owners are an adorable couple who will fix you up for anything.
Like anywhere in central Sri Lanka, it’s a bit humid.
Einfache Unterkunft mit sehr netter Besitzerin, tollem Frühstück und schönem Ausblick
Nicht fußläufig von Ella entfernt.
Absolutely everything! The best place in Sri Lanka. A kind host who is working so hard. A lovely family. They put on a cooking class in house for us. The house was so clean and beautiful. One of the rare hot showers I have had here. Perfect in every sense.
Nothing!
The owners welcomed us warmly and we were treated to a hot cup of fresh tea. We had a really nice room. It was very clean. And when we woke up in the morning, there was a beautiful view and We were able to watch a beautiful sky and the sun rise.The breakfast was delicious. We enjoyed it.They provided us with a tuk-tuk service to go to the Ella.I think this is a good place to stay if you're staying in Ella. I recommend this place.👍
Sehr schöne Unterkunft mit einer freundlichen Gastgeberin und phantastischem Ausblick auf die Teeterrasen.
Die Lage ist ein wenig abseits aber mit dem Tuktuk kein Problem
Famille très sympathique et à disposition pour toute questions.

Allereerst de gastvrijheid van de familie waar wij verbleven. Zij leven beneden, en de kamers waren op een eigen bovenverdieping. Er was echter genoeg privacy en ze waren ontzettend behulpzaam met vragen over de omgeving. Lekker ontbijt en een mooi uitzicht over een theeplantage net buiten het drukke centrum van Ella. In de bomen tegenover de accommodatie zagen we mooie vogels en zelfs apen. We hebben het erg naar ons zin gehad, bedankt voor alles!
The Best Hotel for a holiday.. ..The view is just superb! Waking up to the mountains view is just like living in the dreams. The staff was very super helpful in picking up the luggage also Super nice delisious breakfast ..
Stunning view! We had really cool room with bed at the antresol. Staff were very nice, they made dinner for us was very delisious . Super nice place to stay in Ella
The view, the staff and the breakfast were amazing. The location is a bit more remote but beautiful in nature. It's totally worth it.Delisious breakfast ...
I had such a wonderful experience at Tea Pick View that I extended my stay by five nights! The room was spacious, very clean, and had a beautiful balcony view overlooking the trees and tea fields. Breakfast each morning was a highlight - fresh, delicious, and made with care. WiFi connection was stable, so I was able to work from the homestay. The location is about a 7-minute drive from Ella town, which I actually loved, as it’s peaceful and away from the busy center. What made the stay truly special was the family. They were incredibly kind and helpful - arranging tours, tuk-tuk rides, and sharing their culture with me. One of the highlights was a cooking class they offered, where I learned how to prepare a traditional Sri Lankan rice and curry meal. It was fun, informative, and delicious! Highly recommend if you're looking for a quiet, comfortable, and welcoming place to stay near Ella.
It's very clean and good space for family holiday with kids

The place was amazing—just a few minutes outside the tourist town—with a stunning view exactly as shown in the listing! What truly made it special was the owner's hospitality and kindness. He was always available to offer support and information. It was a great pleasure staying there. Coming from Europe, I can say the quality of service was of a very high standard, with a warm, human touch that really enhanced the experience. Ps. The breakfast is fantastic!!!!
We loved it! + We loved our stay here! The people that work there are are so sweet and make sure you have everything you need Super nice breakfast. It‘s clean and the rooms come with a nice mountain view.
We had an incredible time in Tea Pick View Ella. The room was simple, but cozy and clean. The owners were very helpful (they gave us a lot of advices what to see in the vicinity of the hotel and how to reach the next destination of our trip).
I honestly can't understand where all these positive reviews come from - the room we stayed at was just awful, anything like what you can see here on booking. First af all, it was just dirty- the floor hadn't been properly cleaned, the bedsheet looked like if it hadn't been changed after the previous guests and there was no top sheet - just a blanket to sleep under (which obviously doesn't get changed after each booking). When we asked for another sheet, what we received was torn in many places and full of stains. The view was far from what we expected, too ( I have to admit though that the other two rooms do have a lovely view from the terrace). This wasn't the worst part though- what was worst was the lack of ventilation. We stayed there during a period of heavy rains and the room and everything in it just smelled really badly. I suppose the reason for this is that part of the buidling (including the room we stayed at) is located under the ground as it's built on a steep slope... Last but not least, the owner charged us an extra fee when checking out (it was 'booking commission') which did not appear anywhere on our booking confirmation and it made this stay the most expensive one of all places that we stayed at in Sri Lanka... and the most disappointing one, too. I really wish I could leave a more positive review as the owners seemed very friendly, but a nice simple is simply not enough to make up for the poor standard and high price which this place offers. On a final note, bear in mind that there is a 'tuktuk mafia' in Ella- uber and the likes do not work, and each ride to the town centre will cost you 1000 rupees.
Great value for money! The staff are super friendly and even help arrange travel facilities at reasonable prices. Plus, they provide an awesome travel guide!
Very good place to stay. We had an amazing breakfast and the owner is very helpful! Highly recommend 👌
A room through the mountains of Ella. + Staff: The reception staff was extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful, providing us delicious breakfasts with variety of fruits, it is not a buffet breakfast but it is the essential to start the day well. Room: Wonderful view and in a very super..
The accommodation is excellent, you feel immersed in nature. The host is very helpful, he helped us with planning. Excellent breakfast....
Had a really good time! The host was very sweet and helpful. The view from our room was breathtaking and the place is nicely located off the hectic streets of Ella. Breakfast was also really nice.
The room was bright and spacious with a comfortable bed and good mosquito net. I think with some more attention to detail and maintenance and some deep cleaning this accommodation could be one of the better places most people could stay in SL. The location is not bad however the road is not ideal to walk in to Ella, still there are a few restaurants in walking distance. PickMe doesn't operate in Ella so it's good to be aware of that aswell for taking tuktuks.
I never like to see fleece blankets in accommodations as more often than not I think they are not clean. The ones here certainly did not smell fresh. I requested a sheet instead which was much better and clean. They should just get rid of those fleece blankets completely. The air spray they use is very strong and quite over powering the first few hours.
I like everything from the first second I have arrived! Big, cozy room, clean bathroom with HOT WATER! Lovely host and extremely friendly family. Delicious food with beautiful view! As a solo female traveler I felt really safe!

The place is not the same as you look in the picture. The room was very smelly and had no vetalization. There was some kind of bug in the bathroom. It is not a hotel, it is a home stay. The location of the place is pinned in the map is wrong.
Good host, good property, delicious breakfast.
Very nice view from the balcony. Ron has everything you need
Very much mild in the bathroom, bathroom not clean at all (there were splashes of toothpaste on the mirror when I arrived).
Outstanding from start to finish. We booked last minute, and we arrived to find a perfectly clean room, a beautiful view, wonderful and thoughtful hospitality (the host even arranged a scooter for us), and just a really great experience. I really really liked this place, the family, the food. Everything. Avoid the chaos that is today's Ella, go 1.5km away and enjoy complete serenity.

The road to the lodge was a bit bumpy but it was made easier by being very close to the main road. The owner and family together keep the accommodation very clean.👍👍 They were quick to provide a very friendly service. 🙏🙏Was able to enjoy a delicious breakfast.
Lovely place with a stunning view! The hosts were very nice and helpful. A but out of ella town but I liked it because Ella town is very busy. The breakfast was delicious, and even more better together with the nature sounds! Can highly recommend it.
Niks
Nice breakfast over a lovely view. Out of noisy town so peaceful and quiet and the owners are lovely. They helped with pick up from station, a tuk tuk tour, railway schedules so that we could go to nine arches at the right time and a taxi for onward travel.
Hospitality by owners was awesome!! They helped rent scooters and also provided laundry service
Owners were super nice and they took good care of us. It was able to change room, because we wish that, early breakfest was ok for them and they helped us every time when we asked. Scenery was beautiful and balcony was nice.
Air humidity is easily high when nature is like that.
Great view of tea garden.. You can spot a lot of exotic birds.. We saw deer and hornbill.. Cozy rooms.. Great host.. Good comfort food
The owners were amazing people and really helpful! The food there was delicious and the portions were really big. It’s a little far from the city centre so we rented a scooter which turned out to be a good option to travel around.
Amazing view, wonderful family and delicious food!

i like that place because very comfortable rooms and bathroom system and very kindful customer service. this place located in infront of tea gardens view is very beautiful. meals are very tasty. special reason is very clean place.
මට ඒ තැනට ගොඩක් ආසයි මොකද හරිම සුවපහසු කාමර, නාන කාමර පද්ධතියක් සහ හරිම කරුණාවන්ත පාරිභෝගික සේවාවක්. තේ වතු ඉදිරිපිට පිහිටා ඇති මේ තැන හරිම ලස්සනයි. කෑම හරිම රසයි. විශේෂ හේතුව හරිම පිරිසිදු තැනක්.
The hosts were very welcoming and made our stay very enjoyable. The breakfast was wonderful and there was plenty of it. In particular, the hosts make her own dhal from a lovely recipe which I would recommend.
Needed a tuk tuk to get into Ella which was the only mild inconvenience.
We had a wonderful stay at Ella Hotel! The host was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. The hotel is very clean, and the rooms are comfortable and well-maintained. The breakfast was delicious, offering a variety of options to start the day right. The view from the hotel is absolutely stunning, perfect for our group to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Ella!

Beautiful view big rooms and the owners are very good people ❤️
The room was very nice and clean. The view from the balcony and the room is amazing! Eating breakfast with tea fields view and hornbills is really an experience. Hosts are very welcoming and helpful. Breakfast is very tasty and quite big.
Lovely clean, comfortable room with view, yummy large size breakfast on the balcony. Great hosts that looked after you.
Out of town a bit but you have an amazing view.
My boyfriend and I had a great stay at the guesthouse. The owner and his wife were very helpful and assisted us with organizing transportation to other towns. The cleanliness was top-notch, and the breakfasts were also delicious. We highly recommend the place! 😊
I had a wonderfull stay, the room has a wonderfull balcony overlooking tea fields, the breakfast was delicious and the hosts were extremely welcoming. I can highly recommend this place.
What didn't we like we loved absolutely everything ❤️ we booked 1 night and ended up staying 5 nights best experience / host experience of my travels world wide
Nice view and very friendly hosts.
Nothing to mention.
The view, the room had a lovely outlook, breakfast was fantastic and the host was lovely. He went out of his way to make us feel welcome. Whilst the property was a little out of town, this was only a short Tuk Tuk ride and host was great to organise a driver that was happy to navigate the driveway.
It's dark in the evening, when we arriving to the place..... + The view! The view from the room in the morning is impressive! she'll make all the hotels on the hill where the views are beautiful! This hotel is out of the city and easy to find... Super service, breakfast as in all “just do it”, i.e. Sri Lanka (egg, Carry, bread, jams) General at that price is great! The fridge, glass, water, silence and a beautiful view - that's what you like Ella for.
Everything View, food quality , staff everything was exceptional and worth every single penny Location was super nice with a amazing view.staff was super friendly and helpful.... They rented us a scooter and we had soo much fun ,Ella is soooo beautiful....
Everything was so good. Better than expected. We had a verry nice stay and best view from the room. The breakfast was amazing and the staff were verry freindly and helped us with everything. We are highly recommending this hotel. Thank you and see you again
The staff and his family were very helpful and friendly and tried to help us as much as possible.
The room is a little small and there is a lot of insects which is normal in such places.
Delicious food, well cleaned room and great hospitality..
“Amazing location! Good staff very friendly. relaxed. Lovely view of nature. Breakfast was super nice and perfect....they have many options for breakfast .. banana and honey roti was very delicious ..we were very happy with our stay... It s a hidden beauty place which you really should visit .”
It is a fantastic location with lovely local people who wish to serve best to their customers. Good Hospitality, kind service. Anyone can spend time and have clean delicious home made foods. I recommend this place to anybody from anywhere. No doubt you can experience the difference. I traveled many places but their service is next level. Thank you for all your support and hospitality. I'll be there soon.👍❤
Amazing…When waking up in the morning, the tea plantation mixed with cold mist is very mind-blowing. Everything about Tea Pick View is wonderful!! We really enjoyed our stay there! the breakfast was amazing. For dinner we had Sri Lankan food. if only we could have stayed longer! Our room was beautiful, very comfortable and tastefully decorated with a good sized bathroom... the owners are very kind the service provided toys is also very good
Did not appreciate the difficulty in finding the place and being left at the road side in the pitch dark by the taxi as he had taken us to the place that shows up on Google maps then when eventually arriving at right place being told by owner he knows that the address appears wrong.Also tuk tuk drivers in the town would not take us back to accommodation because of the road which was a track off the main road not properly serviced and datk.The building is still a building site(unfinished) with dangerous drops at road level. The rooms were okay but lots of bugs,ants, cockroaches. The bed was okay but no top sheet only a small fleece blanket for cover and one hand and one bath towel for two people. The best thing about the accommodation was the hot water in the shower. I appreciate the owners are trying to build a business but until building work has been completed should make the position clear.The reviews on booking.com lead you to believe it was amazing.
View was great and food was delicious, The staff was very friendly...it was a good experience..
Everything about Tea Pick View is wonderful!! We really enjoyed our stay there! In the morning when we woke up we could see a beautiful tea garden...and the breakfast was amazing. For dinner we had Sri Lankan ahara vela and noodles, we felt like we were staying in our own home..if only we could have stayed longer! Our room was beautiful, very comfortable and tastefully decorated with a good sized bathroom...
