Villa Emerald Ella

La struttura è chiusa per lavori, abbiamo dovuto soggiornare ad un hotel vicino (Lakshmis Hotel). Ma abbiamo scoperto il tutto alle 19:30 di ieri sera, il padrone non ha provveduto ad avvisarci. E anzi, quando lo abbiamo contattato, ci ha detto che lui non si prende alcuna responsabilità.

Das Frühstück war lecker und das Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Die Unterkunft ist oben auf einem Berg, leider wird gerade renoviert, d. h. 8 Stunden Baustellenlärm und keine Möglichkeit den Balkon zu nutzen, weshalb wir diese Unterkunft gewählt hatten. Die Teppichböden waren nicht so unser Ding. Wir waren die letzten Gäste, bevor sie wegen der Renovierung komplett geschlossen wird, danach ist es sicher besser! Auf Nachfrage hat man uns etwas Nachlass gegeben.

Een fijn en schoon hotel met zeer aardige en hulpvaardige medewerkers. Met een kleine steile wandeling van 5 - 10 min vanaf de hoofdstraat ben je er zo. Ook ‘s avonds voelden wij (moeder en dochter 16 jaar) ons veilig. Er was geen kluisje, iets wat wij altijd fijn vinden. Maar ik denk niet dat het nodig is. Ik zou er zo weer heen gaan.

Met bagage omhoog lopen is wat zwaar. Gelukkig is daar een tuk tuk voor.

Heel aangenaam verblijf met eigen terras en mooi uitzicht, vlakbij het centrum en toch heel rustig. Heel lief jong koppel dat de zaak runt. We kregen een super uitgebreid en mega lekker ontbijt en als we de laatste dag heel vroeg de trein naar Kandy moesten nemen kregen we een picknick mee. Aanrader. Let wel, je moet fit zijn want het is een hele steile wandeling om er te geraken. Naar beneden wandelen is leuker haha. En neem s' avonds een lichtje mee want op sommige stukken van de weg ernaartoe is het donker.

The place was beautiful and high upon a hill, very close to town and station. The guy who served us was very nice and obliging. Breakfast was great, especially the pancakes.

The balcony was being repaired, so we couldn't use it.😢

Parfait, mention spéciale au petit déjeuner et à la gentillesse de notre hôte

Le balcon était en travaux donc pas accessible Mais il sera plus grand ensuite

The view was serene, with a rooftop amazing views helpful owner channa. He arrange tasty breakfast and ella day tour.would definitely recommended this place for family ,couples and solo travellers ..

This was a beautiful spot with only a couple of rooms , but more are on the way. It is above ella,so you have a little more open space . It was a simple room that meets the basic needs.the host was willing to help with anything that was needed . The breakfast was exellent and delicious , with fruits ,eggs,pancakes and more the room had a small balcony off it which was nice to watch birds from.The host was helpful , friendly ,and kind

The hill. But it is Ella !

The view from the window was breathtaking and saved our stay,because we hit a cyclone and spent the day at the villa emerald. Super helpful owner, delicious and filling breakfast.

No much.

My heart is bleeding to give such a rating because the staff on the ground is very lovely, but faking reviews is something that the travel community should not accept. It’s clear that management/ owner gave this place many 10 ratings (which is clear by same typos and errors in writing by many people from different countries). Was also noted by another traveler below. In general, it’s a decent place but with the fake reviews they made it to a 9,2 when I booked which it clearly is not. Breakfast and view and indeed quite good

Welcoming hospitality, comfy room with a huge balcony, delicious full local breakfast - loved it. Sometimes you can hear discos from the downtown (it is some distance below the property), so if you're a light sleeper - earplugs would be a good choice.

View and staff and nice breakfast.

Could have provided kettle and tea bags in the room. Payment is cash, which came to our surprise. Card payment should make possible, especially when expecting foreign customers. If cash payment is the only option, customer should be informed beforehand.

Great view, stuff and location. We liked the brekfast too.

Villa Emerald has two rooms. Ours was spotlessly clean and there was a large balcony. The hotel was also on a very steep hill l, which meant that we had great views. The room was basic, however, it was very good value for Ella. Thank you Supun for making sure we have wonderful memories of our stay. It was my partner’s birthday, and Supun surprised us with a cake at breakfast, which we enjoyed with the other guest. So kind and very appreciated.

This hotel boasts an absolutely fantastic location (although high up a hill), making it easy to explore the area and not far from the Ella Rock hiking trail starting point. The entire property was impeccably clean, and the host was incredibly welcoming and friendly. To top it off, the breakfast provided was truly excellent and a great start to the day.

Very good location, the town within walking distance. The host was very friendly and served as our driver to Sigiriya and back to Weligama. He made great stops along the way, allowing us to see all the important sightseeing spots (Damro Tea Factory, the lake, waterfalls). We took a 1-hour ride on the Ella/Kandy train to Haputhale, and he came to pick us up with our luggage. It wasn't a problem for us, but the accommodation is located on a hill, so you need to walk a bit up a steep incline. However, tuk-tuks and most cars can drive there.

beautiful location and views . Amazing place in the ella city. 2 miniuts walking to ella town for many restaurant and shops.hoster very kind he arrange unforgettable breakfast.tasty.thank you and recommend it....

Workers there were lovely, and went above and beyond to assist with various enquiries I had. Very communicative and present. The room had the necessities.

- lots of spiders in the bathroom. I guess it's to be expected considering the shrubbery around that area. - carpet didn't feel the most clean. Needs to be replaced with hard flooring in my opinion. - hot water was inconsistent. Had to shower in cool water a couple of times, which isn't the worst thing in the world because Sri Lanka is so warm, but I digress. - you have to walk up a VERY steep hill (I'd estimate a 35-45 degrees incline) to get to the property. I had to pay for a tuk tuk to be arranged to take me down into town when I checked out due to my luggage. I feel like the tuk tuk transfer should be included, considering this place is already quite poor money for value in my opinion. Unfortunately, my least favourite place I stayed in Sri Lanka by far.

Great stay on our tour. Beautiful view And clean room. The owner is very helpful he arrange Ella waterfalls good tour.thank you. Breakfast is very tasty and big one.. highly recommend

The accomodation was really nice, room was clean and spacious and the breakfast was delicious.

Only thing we did not like was the reviews, which was clearly not written by real guests (same stylistic, same type of words used, same ..). Recommend to read also reviews on Emerald Mirror Guest Ella which is the same place with much more reviews. But as I mentioned before, we really like the accomodation, you only have to be prepared for a short uphill walk.

Amazing view for our stay room balcony. Excellent room.clean and quiet. Breakfast is rich.owner is kind and helpful he arranges Ella tuk tuk tour see the nine Arch bridge, little Adams peak , halpe tea factory and rawana water falls.thank you your every services we enjoy it.highly recommended villa emerald Ella..

No all are very good

The room had a balcony and was clean.

Wasn’t allowed into my room on first night as the had given it to the people already staying there even though I had confirmation from booking.com. They then gave me a room at their sister hotel which was not as good. The following day ( my birthday) they moved me to my booked room once I came back from my day out. There was 4 men waiting to move me. In the bathroom they had one small bar of soap. No shower gel or shampoo so make sure you bring your own. The room itself is ok but stifilingly hot. I spent most of my time on the terrace as it was cooler outside. They say the place is in excellent location. Though 50m steep hike up it doesn’t. I had to stop a few times as it got very steep.

Exelent ...nice hotel.clean room and bathroom . super rich breakfast. Near by town.great ,kind hoster.
