Amzing view of Ella Rock, very clean and pretty room 😍😍 one of my best stays in sri lanka. Well furnished, colorful and host is also nice.
The Host was extremly friendly and gave us recommendations and helped us with our laundry and mase us tea.
Man wohnt bei einer Familie zu Hause. Alle waren super lieb, man hat sich wohl gefühlt! Alles sauber :)
Loved the location - really close to the main street, but so quiet. My son sat on the terrace for hours watching the wildlife in the trees. The owners are very welcoming and always happy to help if you have any questions. The family room had everything we needed for 2 adults & 2 children.
Отличное тихое место, комната с отдельным входом - просто сказка. Все что нужно для комфортного проживания есть. Отзывчивые и внимательные хозяева.
Very friendly and helpful family who made us feel welcome and at home. Clean and spacious room. Nice and peaceful place just outside of the main roads, but perfect walking distance. Would definitely recommend!
המארחים מקסימים, החדר יחסית מרווח ועם כניסה מסביב שזה היה ממש נוח
התשתיות קצת רעועות, לא היו מים חמים והחשמל היה מקרטע לפרקים אם מנמיכים ציפיות החדר בסדר גמור
Chambre confortable. Famille accueillante et serviable ! Loin du bruit de la rue principale…
Das Bett, die herzlichen Besitzern
- Gastvrij ontvangen met een kopje thee. Vriendelijke gastvrouw en familie. - Schone kamer met goede klamboe en prima badkamer. Koffie/thee/water en een kleine koelkast ter beschikking. - Super locatie op 10-15 minuten lopen van de restaurants en het station. Heel prettig verblijf gehad!
Great location, lovely clean room
Good location, nice room in a very beautiful house, fridge and kettle available for use, and above all, the fascinating owner. Unfortunately, we didn't have as much time to talk with him as we would have liked.
Habitacion amplia
Un poco alejado del centro
Die Gastfamilie ist so nett und hat uns sehr unterstützt. Die Lage war super wenn man es Ruhig möchte ( und die wollten wir ) . Immer wieder gerne
The bed had a net for the insects that was very convenient. The best part was the owner and his family, super kind and helpful. They helped us arrange a motorbike and laundry. They were keen to help.
A bit far away from the center. But we knew it when we booked it. It’s really a 12 mins walk, so nothing too bad.
Peaceful place
Worth for money. Good hospitality. Friendly and caring...
The best was to wake up in the middle of the jungle seeing all sorts of animals, having the mountain at the back of the view
We loved this accommodation, our best stay in Sri Lanka so far. The view was amazing from our terrace, the beds were super comfy and the hosts were great! It's a bit out from the main street so it wasn't noisy at all, but there were restaurants nearby. We would warmly recommend this place to stay in Ella!
The location it is right in nature , with beautiful surroundings, the family are super helpful and so kind and caring , the bed is super comfy and comes with a mosquito net ,and a fan
Great location, comfortable bed, and tea facilities.
There are no options for breakfast/dinner, so you only get the room.
The place was very clean and there was hot water. Location was close to the center yet surrounded by nature. The hosts were very kind.
It was away from the road so very little traffic noise. I needed to escape the tourists so this place was delightful! There was a small, ground floor balcony where I sat and wrote, soaking in the sights and sounds of the jungle. I saw a range of birds, monkey, giant squirrels. At night, the fireflies were mesmerising with the stars twinkling through the canopy and the flashes of distant lightening. Comfy beds, kettle, fridge to use, too.
Gutted I only booked 2 nights and couldn't stay longer 😪
Quiet location, a short walk from busy town
Very clean extremely friendly host
The view from the room and our terrace was amazing. We could look at the mountains through the green jungle with ceylon squirrels jumping betweeen the palm trees. The room was nicley furnished and the bathroom was big. The owner speaks good english, so it's easy to communicate.
One small thing, but little annoying - the contact to turn off/on the light to the room was on the other side of the room than the exit doors, so you had to walk in darkness a bit. But it is just a small detail.
There was an intense sense of mustiness. There was some equipment as kettle and microwave, but there was problem with electrical connection. The worst, when we used hot water, electricity surged through. We felt non secure...
Suprerb service
The room satisfied our needs. It's super close to the center (7 min walk). The host was also very helpful.
The bathroom blind was slightly broken, giving not much of privacy. Its deep in the inner roads. This would not be suitable for someone with Primio like cars.
Good location for Little Adam's peak, 9 Arch bridge and easy to walk to town.
Bedding was dirty and bathroom wasn't clean either. Very thin towels with marks on them.
Friendly host, spacious rooms with terrace and beautiful mountain view. It's a bit further from the main street but in walking distance and quiet.
Water pressure in the shower could be improved
Perfect location in the jungle
Rooms were apt for family of 4. Host fulfilled all the basic needs of a room. Location was silent ,spacious and near to the center of city. Breakfast provided was goood .He provided string hoppers,egg curry,dhaal and banana.
Host could have directed us the route to the stay more clearly. Host could have been more friendly,he seems to be so reserved.
All are good
The location is pretty good, nearby Railway Station, Nine Arches Bridge. Good for one day stay, for more it's uncomfortable.
Hygiene was poor, washing room and sleeping bed weren't fresh enough. Good for one day stay, for more it's uncomfortable.
Clean room with big bathroom, what’s more - with personal fridge in the room. Our host was super kind and helpful, we had great breakfast. Fabulous stay in Ella! and we can see nice view of Ella Rock
the owner were very welcoming, friendly and helpfully.every morning during breakfast we had really nice and interesting conversations.the breakfast was very delicious and varied.the room was super and the bed was the comfiest one in Sri Lanka and the wifi is very fast.would definitely come back when I’m in Ella
