Provider-sourced guest reviews.
An unforgettable stay in a beautifully maintained rural cabin. The service was exceptional and truly personalized, especially thanks to Shashi and JD, who made us feel at home from the very beginning. They recommended some wonderful activities, and we enjoyed two amazing excursions with them: a Buddhist temple in the nearby mountains and Diyaluma waterfalls, with Shashi as our guide. The homemade food was delicious and perfectly suited to our tastes. We felt incredibly privileged, as if we had the whole place to ourselves and were simply staying in our own home. Highly recommended!
This is not a negative, but it is worth mentioning that the access to the property is around 20–30 minutes from Ella.
Amazing views in middle of nature and a tastefully done property. The room and bathroom was beautiful with the bathroom being partly open. The breakfast area was so peaceful and the food was served well with all due preparations. We went in winters so couldn't use the Jacuzzi, but everything looked out of a fairy tale. The staff was very friendly and cordial.
There were too many stray dogs that specially came around during meals and my friend was scared of them.
La struttura è accogliente, curata e perfetta per rilassarsi dopo una giornata alla scoperta della zona. Abbiamo apprezzato la tranquillità, l’ospitalità e il panorama: assolutamente consigliato!
Camera un po’ umida e si sentono le voci dall’esterno.
Absolutamente todo, pero si tuviera que resaltar algo fue la atención del personal. Excelente.
Lo que no me gustó fue que me tuve que marchar … hubiese alargado mi estancia.
Es un lugar con mucho encanto. Las vistas son espectaculares y la tranquilidad de la zona. La habitación tiene salida a un porcho donde puedes sentarte y solo mirar las vistas con una taza de te o café. Está a media hora en coche a Ella ciudad, pero para ir a hacer actividades es un buen lugar si quieres disfrutar de las vistas de la zona. Si te quedas en Ella tendrás más restaurantes pero hay más ruido y no tendrás estas vistas. La habitación y decoración de la zona del porcho es tipo colonial, con mucho detalle y muy bonito. El jardín también muy agradable.
La habitación para dos es perfecta. Nosotros fuimos con nuestros dos hijos, y había dos plegatines para ellos. Si bien la cama principal era cómoda, los plegatines no tanto. Pedimos una cena, y no nos gustó mucho la comida.
Super ambiance familiale personne super serviable et souriant bonne emplacement tout est impeccable
Jsute la piscine sur les photo est grande mais en relais ter n’est pas super grande
We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel in Ella. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout our visit, always available whenever we needed anything. Their kindness made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. The room was comfortable, clean, and well maintained, providing everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Overall, we felt at home during our time here thanks to the warm hospitality of the staff. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Ella.
Amazing place, great food and friendly staff. This was our family’s favourite place to stay throughout our holiday
Struttura immersa nel verde, bel panorama
Lo staff capisce poco l’inglese e ci sono state molte incomprensioni soprattutto a livello di soldi
the location and the staff!
amenities were a little less
The place is extremely cozy and is great for family stays.
The place is 20 mins from city center
The view, service and food
Internet was slow
Tres beau séjour dans cet hôtel. Nous étions deux familles de 4 et étions les seuls du coup dans cet hôtel avec 3 rooms Très belle vue et personnel très gentil et serviable. Super salle de bains extérieures. Petit bémol : un peu loin d Ella.
Nous avons particulièrement apprécié l’emplacement de la propriété, à l’écart de la ville, offrant un cadre calme et reposant. Nous avons eu la chance d’avoir la villa pour nous seuls pendant deux nuits, ce qui a rendu l’expérience encore plus spéciale. Shashi et son équipe ont été aux petits soins tout au long de notre séjour, avec une attention constante et chaleureuse. La nourriture était délicieuse, et la cuisinière nous a fait découvrir de savoureux plats locaux. Nous vous recommandons de leur faire entièrement confiance. Un séjour paisible, idéal pour se ressourcer et profiter du calme.
Beautiful room and bathroom. JD was a credit to the hotel - so helpful and kind. Stunning location
Because of the location and being a group of 4, a lot of drivers/TikTok’s were reluctant to travel that far so a shuttle service at certain times of the day would be a great addition
The location is amazing. The room are well organised and beautiful. The bed so comfortable!
The pool is not in the property and to use it you need to pay extra
Everything was very nice. We loved our stay
Very clean and beautifull surroundings. The staf was very kind
Obsługa obiektu bardzo miła. Popsuło się nam auto i odrazu nam pomogli ze wszystkim związanym z naprawą tak że praktycznie nie musieliśmy nic robić
Amazing location and great facilities. We loved the pool, the communal seating area and the bathroom. JD was a credit to the property, he was professional and friendly. JD was present when we needed him without being visible all the time and he was very respectful. Ella Nine Peaks should definitely keep hold of him!! We had food in the evening which was tasty and plentiful and the breakfast was also very good. We would've loved to have stayed longer but we were on a tight schedule and didn't realise how much we would love this place! It's also ideal if you are part of a group due to the layout of the villas. There was a problem with driver accommodation which we were not made aware of before our arrival but we managed to sort it by paying a reduced rate for another room. We have known our driver/guide for over 10 years and we were happy to pay the extra. We visit Sri Lanka at least once a year, we will definitely stay here again!
It would have been good to have been told there was no water to the driver/guide accommodation before we arrived but we were thankful there were vacant rooms and we could pay a reduced rate so they didn't have to find accommodation elsewhere.
The vibe of the property, placed in the jungle
The spare bed was very shakie and hard. The food could have been a little bit more abundant and higher quality.
Everything!
Nothing!
Nous avons très apprécié le calme et la vue de la terrasse, une vue extraordinaire!! Le personnel a été au petit soin, un grand merci à l’équipe
Un petit détail, la literie n’était pas très confortable, mais ce n’est qu’un détail
The staff was lovely. The view was stunning & the puppy was cute.
The WiFi & extra coast for the pool.
Une parfaite étape à l’écart d’Ella, au calme Une chambre très agréable et confortable Un bon repas et petit déjeuner, avec un service attentionné
Malheureusement la piscine était trop froide pour en profiter Le manager qui attendait devant la chambre au Check out pour qu’on s’en aille - peu cordial et accueillant La terrasse de notre chambre non privative (les enfants des autres clients jouant devant notre chambre)
We had an exceptional stay at Nine Peaks, it exceeded our expectations! The room was cute and very clean, so was the bathroom. The view was breathtaking, if you like peace and quiet this is perfect! The staff was incredibly friendly and caring. Our highlight was that one of the hosts took us through the jungle to a hidden temple, he took us to a hidden waterfall and tried some local food with us.
La vue sur les montagnes. La terrasse. La salle de bains semi ouverte. La decoration. Le petit dejeuner sur la 2e terrasse. La gentillesse du personnel .le calme
La proximite avec la villa ou les clients etaient plus nombreux et donc plus de bruit
Amazing views , lovely staff, good food. Special thanks to all the staff and JD who looked after us , Simply amazing service.
little bit far from Ella and long drive from there but if you like to spend time in Ella and come back to enjoy the lovely views and quiet calm of Ella this is perfect
The location was very quiet. Best location for relaxation
Too far from mini city.
We had a very nice time at Nine Peaks Clubresort at Ella. A special 'thank you' to JD for an outstanding service.
Nine Peaks is located very high up so you need transport. Also very windy, but beautiful.
Het personeel was aardig en het uitzicht geweldig. Qua locatie ook top als je vanuit het zuiden komt en niet verder naar het Noorden wil reizen.
Het eten was ondermaats. Hoe mooi het ook omschreven staat op de kaart met verhalen over dagverse ingrediënten etc... In praktijk viel het flink tegen. De pizza was zelfs vies. Ook de accomodatie zelf mag meer liefde krijgen. Het voelde soms vies en veelal ook versleten aan.
The view and the facilities. The bathroom is great and the room is spacious.
It’s a bit far from the city centre
Beautiful location with great style. It's far from center of town and worth the distance for how beautiful the environment was. Epic sunrise, good food, amazing views.
Our stay in Ella Nine Peaks was fabulous. The location is further from the road and the village, so it's very peaceful there. The road there is a little bit tricky, but we managed (even with the car for 8 people). We booked 2 rooms in the colonial styled house with a great atmosphere. The rooms are next to each other and share a spacious veranda with a huge table, sofa and chairs, so we had enough space for us. We ate either there or on a podium on a rock nearby with an amazing view. For en extra fee we could go to the pool. And one evening we sat by the fire. The rooms are comfortable, hot water was working perfectly. The staff was great, always helping us and taking a good care of us. The food was delicious.
We didn't have any problem.
Beautiful view
Location is a bit off from the cent
L’attention du personnel Le calme du lieu La cuisine variée et délicieuse
RAS
Lage. Ausgezeichnetes Frühstücken. Auch das reichhaltige angebotene Abendessen war sehr gut.
Doch etwas abgelegen.
Toller Ausblick. Nettes Personal. Das beste Frühstück auf unserer Reise.
Hotel położony w przepięknym miejscu. Śniadanie z widokiem. Przemiła i pomocna obsługa. Dania z kuchni lankijskiej przepyszne.
Brak dostępu do baseniku dla pokoi hotelowych usytuowanych na dole. Może nie doczytaliśmy że tak jest, ale fajnie by było jak by każdy mógł skorzystać. Dania europejskie typu pizza czy frytki nie bardzo przypominały znane nam smaki, więc dzieci nie były zbyt zadowolone.
Nice and well clean rooms , and staff was very friendly and flexible, good food.
None
The location
The room was pretty small
Overall great views and walking distance to Bambarakanda Falls
Staircase from the road was very steep, difficult to find
The views are lovely, staff very friendly and looked after us well
Lot of noise from other rooms and loud music from the village close by. The bathroom needs to be upgraded and shower area needs to be cleaner.
We stayed 3 nights at Ella nine peaks and I wish we stayed longer. The location is a little out of the way but this is compensated by the beautiful views, fresh air and quaint rooms. We woke to birdsong every morning and even saw fireflies on the roof at night. The showers deserve a special mention too. We were a group of 6 so we had the whole villa to ourselves which was wonderful. Roshan and Bandara took such good care of us and were very attentive. We found ourselves missing them, our conversations and the amazing food they served us (Bandara is the best cook!) as much as our stay there.
Great place with lovely views, the breakfast could be improved for this price. Comfortable and very clean room!
The views were stunning
Breakfast was great. I wish they would have a buffet rather than restrcting the quantity of food one can have. Also this should be mentioned in the booking stage. Set menu with set quantity. Rest everything was great.
Communication skills of the staff. A lil more english understanding is required to communicate efficiently
The attention to detail in rooms and clean bathrooms with helpful staff
Very good!!!!!
Very peaceful location into the greenary. Don't miss the sun rise just infront of your room. They served a Lovely Breakfast, it had a variety of options to choose. The staff really helpful and very friendly. Their hospitality made me feel like home. Highly recommended 👌
nothing. I love this place
The ambience, attention to detail given, the beautiful colonial villa was really cute and comfortable. Staff was friendly and food was great. We ordered additional dishes and they were good too.
Suggesting to have hair dryers in the rooms as it's very important to have one for ladies.
This property is beautiful, the photos do not do it justice, it is much better in real life. The view is incredible and the staff are so friendly and kind. We loved our stay. The food was delicious and being fully in nature was ideal.
The other guests in the villa next door were really noisy on the first night and really inconsiderate which kept us up till gone midnight. The walls are thin so you hope to have nice considerate guests during your stay.
The price on place was two times more expensive than booking.com show
The place is located in beautiful surroundings. From the time we made our first contact with the place to the time we left, the staff gave us a superior service. Special thanks to Sanjeevani for being very accommodative. The owners of the property were very friendly as well.
Nothing
Wonderful stay. Great hospitality by the main host and the other staff. Food was delicious. Supper environment.and stunning .
It’s cleanliness and the interior and has a beautiful scenery
Very friendly staff and nice location
There was nothing we like
The remote location away from the hustle and bustle is this property’s selling point. The staff and breakfast were impeccable. Thank you for having us and making our stay so comfortable.
The stay was great. Perhaps some more bean bags for the lookout viewpoint - but this would only be an added extra and not a negative.
Bedding and room amenities are excellent
Nothing
It's located away from Ella and secluded, high up on the mountain. The owner has taken efforts and the good taste can be seen in the choice of furniture, the bathroom, the out lobby, the top view deck. Beautiful scenery in the day and amazing quite in the night, the place is subtly lite. The staff is cordial and friendly and smiling. Worth the stay here. A place to stay for many days.
There is a constant water tank pipes noise thro the night. When all is quite, its disturbing. Something has to be done about it. Change the system, please. Your view in the front side is really good, a vantage point. Now some trees newly planted have started obstructing the view. Its your USP. Dont plant such plants or trees. Replant those that are now ruining the fabulous view.
Food was delicious, staff excelent, location was perfect!
Fabulous setting-so peaceful and surrounded by countryside, friendly hosts, delicious food and the rooms and bathrooms were delightful. We really enjoyed our stay.
Set up was acceptable
Pictures were nice but in reality it was bad ! Too far away from the town ! It’s hidden in a jungle with lots of spiders and insects ! Very bad service with staffs who don’t understand proper English.
The cottage was incredibly relaxing and the outside area was also tranquil and setting you in a peaceful mode. It was raining and foggy when we came and we couldn't see the landscape around us but still we enjoyed our stay there. We could hear the nature around us the entire night. The food was amazing sri lankan food and the host was super attentive of our needs. Is definitely one of the best locations we visited in Sri Lanka.
The Internet was not working so good.
Stunning views. Delicious local kitchen. Lovely staff. Nice local (really secret) waterfall. And a really tasteful accommodation. It’s a bit far from Ella, but they organised us a friended Tuk Tuk driver who showed us all Ella’s must-seen’s at a really fair price.
Honestly everything was amazing. We had the best time there. The place was so cozy and beautiful! Everything was well thought through. The staff was very attentive and kind, always with a big smile. The food was so damn good!! We had most of our meals from the villa. Also visited the near by waterfall which was a great adventure for us. I highly recommend this place if your visiting Ella and I will definitely come back again.
We absolutely loved everything here! On one hand, the house has a nice design at an amazing location, the garden and the breakfast spot with the mountain-view are super nice, everything looks like on the pictures. On the other hand, the staff is super helpful and definitely the best here! We cannot thank you enough, Nalin! Food was always amazing, we took the traditional options. They even arranged a scooter and laundry service for us for a good price. It’s a much recommended place if you want to spend some time in a calm and relaxing location with beautiful views.
A brand new hotel. Absolutely amazing experience. Super welcoming team, extra cute rooms and natural outside, tasty food and care all around. We felt in love. Thank you very much!
Only one thing could be improved - size of mosquitos net (existing makes the bed much smaller then it is).
We booked the full villa for the family. Located in an amazing location where the view is breathtaking. You can even see the Kurulangalala rock where they have Fresco paintings older than Sigiriya. Staff is so friendly. Food was amazing. I tried all their in house fire wood pizzas. Tastes like the authentic. Thumbs up for the food. Bedrooms are very nice and cozy. Linen is super comfy. I will definitely comeback. Thank you Araliya Villa !!!
I really cant make any complaints. Everthing was so nice about the place.
