Ganz ganz tolle Unterkunft die zu 100% zu empfehlen ist. Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig, toll eingerichtet und sauber. Die Gastgeber sind so herzlich und helfen einem bei allen Fragen weiter, geben Tipps und organisieren Fahrten falls nötig. Das Frühstück war der Hammer!
Upon arrival, we were greeted by the host, who showed us our room and offered us tea or coffee. The stay is beautiful and located outside of Ella in a peaceful location. Beautiful table outside to sit out and relax and a hammock too! Be aware that it is about 25 minute walk downhill into Ella or a tuktuk. The bedroom and bathroom were big. Good, comfy bed with mosquito net and warm water for the shower. You could choose what time to have breakfast, which was delicious - coconut roti, fruits, juice, coffee/tea, toast etc. Plenty of food to try! Host was very quick and helpful at replying to WhatsApp messages. She arranged a tuktuk on our last day to the station for us too for 1000LKR. I would 100% recommend staying here - we felt safe and looked after the whole time.
מקןם קטן וביתי עם 2 בקתות. הגדולה ( הצהובה) שווה יותר ועם נןף יפה לעמק. אי אפשר להגיע עם רכב ממש עד המקום אלא עם ריקשה. כל ההקפצות על חשבון המארחים ( 2 דקות נסיעה מהכביש הראשי). סנטה הבעלים ואישתו מקסימים ועשו הכל כדי שנרגיש בבית. שלחנו דרכם כביסה. חזרה במצב מעולה. ארוחת בוקר טעימה ומפנקת.
זרם חלש במקלחת
Wij verbleven hier met onze drie kinderen. In alles hier zit liefde en aandacht. De mensen zijn zo mega aardig. Ze kochten kadootjes voor de kinderen , maakten heerlijk en uitgebreid ontbijt en speciaal glutenvrij ontbijt voor mijn dochter. Ze bieden een eigen tuktuk driver aan, voor heel lage prijs. Regelden alles voor ons! Echt een dikke 10 voor deze lieve mensen. En dit alles onder het genot van een prachtige accommodatie met heerlijk uitzicht
Niks
We loved the hosts! They were very attentive and professional, and overall really nice . The rooms was big, with a beautiful view to the open quiet nature. The design & decor are absolutely beautiful! You can tell they care about every detail and have lots of love to the place. The room had everything we needed, they even have a card game and free clean water, coffee and tea :) Breakfast was yummy, with fresh ingredients and big variety! The sheets & towels smelled amazing, and beds were so comfortable! Distance to town is like a 10min drive via Tuktuk. Costs roughly 1,000 rupees one way
1. If you’re working remotely this might not be the place for you. The house is in a valley so both signal and WiFi are weak. 2. Water pressure is low so if you have a long hair it’s going to be a little challenging. * that being said, they might work on fixing both issues in the future so might be worth asking :)
I loved my stay here, it was peaceful and in such a beautiful setting. Before I had even arrived, I had received a text from the hosts asking if I needed anything, and they easily organized me a tuktuk to & from the property. The stay is in walking distance to the nine-arch bridge and is only 5 mins tuktuk from the main town. The room was very comfortable and has everything you may want or need, it's a true home away from home. The breakfast was exceptional!
Being in the quiet in the tree tops literally A lovely warm welcome and helped with transport..... Wonderful experience

Wir können diese Unterkunft zu 100% weiterempfehlen. Die Lage ist (wenn man selbst ein Tuktuk hat) richtig toll. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber und das Frühstück einfach der Hammer. Die Gastgeber waren so nett und hilfsbereit. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
Uns hat alles gefallen :) Noch zur Info: man sollte selbst ein Tuktuk oder Moped haben, weil ein Auto kann hier nicht Straße entlang fahren.
Die Lage hat uns super gefallen, da wir ein bisschen abseits vom Trubel waren. Auch das Frühstück war super! Es hat jeden Tag etwas neues zum Essen gegeben.
Es sind super viele Insekten im Zimmer (wofür es aber ein Netz gibt) und das Bad hat ziemlich stark gestunken, da es immer feucht bleibt..
Location was lovely , a little out of the buzzing city of Ella,the owners will call you a tuk tuk to take you into town and then you can what's app the driver when you want to come back cost 1000 LKR , lovely fresh Sri lankan breakfast, spacious bathroom and comfy bed, mini bar, Owners are very helpful and you just message them if you need anything..
Every thing perfect
Treetops Ella is a bit out of town. But that’s a good thing, for two reasons: Ella is BUSY. You don’t want to be right in town (or at least I don’t). You want to visit, sure, but you want the rest of your time to be peaceful. The other thing is, by being just a little out of town you get to be pretty much in the jungle. You will sit and eat your breakfast (more of that in a minute) listening to wildlife (it’s loud, but deeply relaxing) and being surrounded by deep greenery. In any case you can still walk into town if you want (i usually did) and then take a tuk tuk back (1000 rupees - about £2.50). No problem. The guest house itself - I loved it. Clean, comfortable and, as I’ve said, peaceful. Everything you might want is in the room for you - a mini bar, a kettle with tea bags etc, bottled water and even a yoga mat. The owners were lovely - perfectly friendly without being intrusive. And then there was the breakfast…. Every day it was gorgeous. Photo-worthy even. And different Sri Lankan specialties every day. It was plentiful too - I never had a lunch in Ella! It was, at the time of writing, my favourite stay in Sri Lanka.
There was nothing that I didn’t like about the property, particularly if you don’t mind it being out of town and down a bit of a track (I didn’t - and tuk tuks can get there, no problem)
We stayed three nights at Treetops and really loved it. The property is a little outside Ella center, only a short tuktuk ride away though, which means it’s wonderfully peaceful, away from traffic and noise. The terrace and the view over the jungle and surrounding greenery are beautiful and make it a perfect place to relax. The owners are a lovely couple, very friendly, respectful and always ready to help. The room is thoughtfully equipped with lots of little extras that make your stay more comfortable, such as games, books, yoga mats, an umbrella, and even a lantern for early morning hikes. The minibar is well stocked and fairly priced. Breakfast is homemade, served on the terrace, and was always peaceful and really delicious. We would definitely recommend this place for anyone staying in Ella.
I due host erano una coppia molto carina, gentile e disponibile ad aiutarci con ogni richiesta. Penso mi ricorderò ancora per tanto tempo la loro colazione incredibile, da sola valeva il soggiorno:) l ultima notte, dato che partivamo molto presto la mattina seguente, ci hanno preparato una box in modo che potessimo fare colazione in viaggio. Ogni volta che avevamo bisogno, ci organizzavano il tragitto in tuc tuc (L ultimo tratto di strada non è percorribile in auto) assicurandosi che nel caso non potessero occuparsene personalmente gli autisti non ci richiedessero tariffe troppo alte. La struttura è molto caratteristica, circondata dalla giungla anche se vicinissima a Ella.
Nulla
Die beiden Gastgeber waren stets zuvorkommend und nett. Auch hervorzuheben ist das sensationelle Frühstück, welches alles beinhaltete was das Herz begehrt. Unser Zimmer war sehr gemütlich eingerichtet und das Bett äusserst bequem.
Leider ist die Unterkunft sehr abseits der Main Road gelegen, was die Tuktuk-Suche fast unmöglich machte. Unsere Empfehlung: Die Umgebung auf eigene Faust mit Roller erkunden. Zudem waren die Badetücher wenig bis gar nicht saugfähig, weshalb wir nach dem Duschen immer noch tropften.
Geweldige locatie buiten de drukte van de stad, heeerlijk ontbijt en leuk eigen huisje met tuintje. Vooral de hangmat in de zon was een leuke verassing.
Veel dode en levende mieren in het huisje en de badkamer. Verder was alles netjes.
La struttura ospita una sola camera, intima e accogliente, immersa in un giardino naturale davvero suggestivo. I proprietari sono deliziosi e sempre disponibili, pronti a far sentire gli ospiti coccolati. La colazione è squisita, varia e preparata con cura. In occasione del compleanno del mio moroso, ci hanno addirittura sorpresi con una torta. La camera è pulita e ben curata, anche se manca un po’ di spazio per un armadio. La struttura si raggiunge solo a piedi con una breve camminata di 5 minuti o in tuktuk, ma i proprietari sono sempre pronti a dare una mano con i trasporti. Ci tornerei volentieri!
Fijne schone kamer met ruimte, een gevulde koelkast en soort eigen tuintje met uitzicht. Mega lekker en uitgebreid ontbijt en super lieve mensen! We hadden het getipt gekregen van vrienden van ons en ik zou het zeker aan anderen ook aanraden.
Om bij treetops te komen moet je een beetje een hobbelige weg rijden het laatste stukje. Wij hadden onze eigen tuktuk dus voor ons niet erg maar wel handig om rekening mee te houden!
place is amazing, host were very nice, breakfast was delicious! the host ordered a tuktuk for us early in the morning since we had to leave town
everything was good!
Cuidado todo con detalle y muy limpio. El desayuno una maravilla.
Nada
Die Hosts haben sich toll um uns gekümmert! Das Frühstück war toll und man hat eine schöne Sicht auf der Terasse. Die Weg zur Unterkunft war bei Ankunft nicht einfach zu finden, unser Host hat aber dann mit dem Tuktuk Fahrer telefoniert und so geholfen. Man ist nicht zentral in Ella und benötigt schon einen Roller oder muss ein Tuktuk rufen um in die Stadt zu kommen.
Eine herrliche kleine Unterkunft mit nur einem Zimmer. Von der Straße geht es noch einen Weg herunter. Hier hat uns Lasa abgeholt. Er hatte uns schon gesagt, dass Taxifahrer hier nicht runter wollen - für Tuktuks gar kein Problem. Das Zimmer ist sauber und ordentlich, es gibt eine Minibar und ein Bad mit warmen Wasser. Ums Bett ist ein großes Mückennetz gespannt, sodass man die Waldgeräusche abends und nachts gut genießen kann, ohne Angst haben zu müssen, am nächsten Morgen zerstochen zu sein. Im Bad gibt es ein Mückennetz im Fenster, sodass dieses nachts offen bleiben kann. Ein großes Highlight ist das Frühstück! Köstliches Dhal und coconut sambol (für mich sowohl das leckerste Dhal als auch das beste coconut sambol bisher in Sri Lanka)! Lasa und seine Frau geben sich sehr viel Mühe und machen den Aufenthalt super entspannt und erholsam. Lasa arbeitet im Chill Cafe in Ella. Sehr zu empfehlen! Er hat uns einen Tisch reserviert und über einen Freund von ihm die Rückfahrt zur Unterkunft. Dies war praktisch, da wir vorher selber versucht hatten, uns ein Tuktuk zu ordern, da haben uns Fahrer aber gesagt, dass sie dort nicht hinfahren würden. Vermutlich liegt es daran, dass das Hotel sehr ruhig gelegen ist und hier keine weiteren Gäste auf ein Tuktuk warten. Über Lasas Freund war es aber kein Problem und er hat uns seine Nummer gegeben, sodass wir ihn immer kontaktieren können, wenn wir einen Fahrer brauchen. Am Abreisetag haben wir um 6:40 Uhr den Zug Richtung Kandy genommen. Wichtiger Punkt: startet ihr eure Zugfahrt in Ella, fahrt ihr nicht über die Nine Arches Bridge! Lasa und seine Frau haben uns ein Frühstpck für den Weg gepackt. Es gab Omelette Toast, cracker, Früchte und Wasser. Wir waren von soviel Herzlichkeit begeistert. Von uns gibt es eine ganz klare Empfehlung, das treetops Ella zu buchen! Tolle Unterkunft mit herausragenden Gastgebern! Danke Lasa für die tolle Zeit bei euch!
Very friendly people and the breakfast is delicious with a nice view. Clean and comfortable, we would repeat.
Very nice location. A tuk tuk drive is needed for going to city but all others are walkable. Best breakfast with all what you want.
Kindness, views, nature, home cooking.
The room was very nice and clean, equipped with everything we needed. The staff were incredibly kind to us; they welcomed us with a hot tea and also prepared a delicious breakfast.
The home is surrounded by nature, making it beautiful, but you should also be aware that there are many animals around, especially when it rains.
The hosts were brilliant, really went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and helped with arranging tuk tuks for good prices. Breakfast was also great.
A little bit further out of town but nothing a quick tuk tuk couldn’t fix!
Beautiful accommodation. The terrace and adjoining garden are beautiful. The view is amazing. Delicious breakfast that is served as nicely as seen in the pictures. They have 2 yoga mats and there is enough space in the garden to relax and stretch.
It's a bit down the road and a car can hardly pass down to the property, however the owners offer to transport you and the stuff up to the main road. It is walkable and lasts 5minutes at most and they offer a flashlight as well. Wifi is spotty, but i think it is common for the Ella area.
The hosts are absolutely lovely, going above and beyond in order to making your stay enjoyable. This included preparing sandwiches for us at 3:30am (!) because we had to leave very early for a safari at Yala. The Sri Lankan breakfast was extraordinary😊
The hosts were wonderful, so warm and responsive and always looked out for me which was nice when I was travelling solo. The room is the only one there and totally private. You step onto the terrace and the views of the hills are stunning and at night the private garden is all lit up. Enchanting with a magical vibe and the breakfast excellent value and beautifully presented. Nothing was too much trouble and they put me in touch with a trusted tuk tuk driver. Ella main town was only ,8-10 minutes by tuk tuk. I would definitely stay at Treetops again!!
Amazing hosts, super friendly and helpful. Delicious breakfast, different every day made with a lot of love. Directly in front of rain forrest. We could see green parrots all the time. Close to the nine arch bridge and little Adams peak. You can walk directly from there to these 2 places.
Was a bit outside the city. Easy to reach with tuktuk thought (1000 rupies per ride)
As you may know already, Ella is a very touristy place. We didn't book anything in advance, so we were finding it difficult to find some good quality-price location to stay. But then we found Tree Tops. What an amazing place. We were so warmly received and we felt like we were at home. The room is very clean, with a comfortable bed, good bathroom with hot water and a mini fridge. You could notice that every detail in the room was carefully picked. And, of course, as a foodie, the best part for me was the Sri Lankan breakfast - different in the two days, but both with typical Sri Lankan food, prepared with love and care. At night, you can hear an animal orchestra from the room, so you really feel connected to nature. If you are overwhelmed with all the options in Ella and want a place to relax and feel at home, just a tuktuk drive away from all the activities, just go there. Thank you so much for receiving us like this, we will never forget these 2 days here.
I stayed in this little oasis for 2 nights and absolutely enjoyed my time here. It‘s a bit outside of busy Ella which I personally liked a lot. The accommodation is in a small village and the room is surrounded by plants and trees. It is a very cozy atmosphere here. I had a warm and kind welcome from the hosts, they made my stay a very pleasant one. The room was clean and was decorated in a quite nice way. The breakfast on the terrace was very good. In total, I can recommend Treetops Ella and would definitely go here again.
The room has everything you need plus spectacular view and an amazing host always keen to help with everything the guests may need. Highly recommended!
When I arrived at Treetops, I couldn’t believe the beauty of the place. Go here when you get the chance! The view, the beautiful private patio, the thoughtfully designed garden and apartment… the hosts really care about making you feel at home, and providing you with everything you need! The apartment is super clean and very well equipped: it has a lot of room to hang and store clothes, comes with a mini bar and even little details like mosquito spray, a blow dryer, toiletries, yoga mats. I slept wonderfully here, great bed, fresh air, almost no mosquitos but calming nature sounds. Also the breakfast: Probably one of the best and most beautifully served I’ve had so far! So generous and delicious. The owners are incredibly kind, and helped me with Tuktuks and finding a ride to my next destination. Treetops really is a unique place to relax and find peace. I am thinking to go back to Ella just to spend some more time enjoying Treetops.
Very pleasant and helpful owners. Clean room and excellent breakfast. The position of the property is fantastic overlooking a tea plantation. Sit on the balcony and watch small parrots fly by with a variety of other birds and wildlife. Highly recommended.
2 wonderful days were among nature, wild peacocks, different birds. All you need is at home. Breakfast was traditional and excellent. We like everything. The staff was very polite and friendly. Thank youq
Beautiful setting down a track in the jungle. Only one room for guests so peaceful and in a way exclusive. Our hostess couldn’t do enough for us, and the room was carefully prepared with lots of nice touches ( mosi spray, torches, Bluetooth speaker, yoga mats ) Delicious breakfasts too.
We didn’t mind the 2 minute Tuk tuk journey back to and from the main road, don’t be put off by this!
Beautiful place nestled in the jungle - amazing listening to the sounds of nature at night. The hosts had thought of lots of handy little extras that made our stay more comfortable. Books, games, mini bar, ear buds and nail clippers, hammock :) They were really freindly and it was a privilege to stay with them. The breakfast was absolutely massive and delicious. We did feel bad that we couldn't eat it all when it had all been homemade.
The place was down a steep track and well out of Ella. This was nice on one hand as peaceful and tranquill but too far ro walk so you did need tuktuk. We hired scooters and that made it perfect.
We loved our stay at Treetops it's in an amazing setting in the jungle which is very tranquil away from the busiest of Ella town! It's only a ten minute drive away though we had our own tuk tuk dropped off there which made it easier or the hosts can arrange a tuk tuk for you. You are the only guests and you get a large terrace area with garden looking out onto the best view! The breakfast is so good it's the best we have had in Sri Lanka very traditional and you get a good choice! The hosts are lovely and accommodating making you feel very welcome☺️ The room is a good size, with added touches- fridge with a mini bar which was very reasonable, books and games. The bed is very comfy and the fan was fine we didn't miss air con but it's cooler in the night in Ella so just having a fan is all you need.
Nothing at all the hosts have got it very good!
We loved our stay at TreeTops! The hosts were amazing helping us with any questions, bringing us extra coffee and biscuits, and always with a smile. We had an issue with our train so had to leave very early and they even gave us a breakfast to go which was so thoughtful!! The breakfast was amazing with beautiful views!
Nothing
The property was has a real sense of calm, beautiful birds and chipmunks, surrounded by trees. It’s clean and a good size, with everything you might need, yoga mats, water and wine. Tea and coffee also provided, with a few books to read.
There’s nothing it to like really, with the rainy season brings leeches and it’s about a 45 minute walk into Ella, which in parts is quite dark. My husband and I love a walk, so wasn’t a problem for us. But tuk tuks, can be arrange for about 700 rupees.
Beautiful secluded little jungle home! You’re far away from the busyness of Ella town, yet close enough to go there to explore. We felt so relaxed after our stay at Treetops, such a nice vibe, beautiful people as hosts and an amazing fresh Sri Lankan breakfast!
Nothing we didn’t like! It had everything we needed for a nice time 🧡
Best homestay we've had in Sri Lanka! Check my Google review for extensive review!
The breakfast was absolutely magnificent and abundant. The terrace and garden (with hammock) are perfect to relax
We didnt stay long enough... 😞
Beautiful place in nature, the hosts are so nice, breakfast is amazing, the room is very clean and accommodated with fridge, books and board games, everything perfect!
Nothing
Hosts were really lovely. Breakfast was amazing. Location was a bit out of town, really nice to be away from it and close to little Adam’s peak.
Don’t go if you aren’t ok with insects. It’s beautiful and in the jungle, and that does come with more bugs
The hosts were very warm, welcoming & happy to assist with any questions. The room was super-clean & comfortable. The breakfasts were the best we had the whole trip! Location is close enough to Ella, but far enough away to be surrounded by nature...
Nothing, it was perfect! 🙂
The attention to detail in the room and facilities, amazing breakfast, lovely and helpful owners. The location is amazing!
There is nothing negative I can think of.
Treetops is a great homestay away from the crowdy village. They offer a great breakfast, both Sri Lankan & Western. And: they have hot water for a shower. :-) Very friendly hosts who help to arrange your local trips. They are a young couple, speaking English fluently.
The last part of the route to the homestay is very offroad. Not all Tuk Tuk drivers were happy to go down the hill. The location is both a pro and a con: very nice, relax view over the hills between birds, monkeys and beautiful nature, but you need a Tuk tuk for each trip.
The service was outstanding! The host arranged everything from tuk tuk rides to early morning drop off to the train station. Bit further from Ella center but for 800-1000 lrk your there.
-
Lovely kind gentle couple. Very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Large shower room, electric fan, and nice bed with mos net. Kettle, fridge with drinks I could help myself to plus tea and coffee, pretty outside area to sit, hammock to lie in. Fabulous breakfast surrounded by beautiful trees. Not in central Ella which is fine as Ella is noisy and although quieter it’s still in a local neighbourhood. Easy 1000lkr tuk tuk and I walked there and back via the 9 arches one day. The host very kindly got me to the station early the day I travelled, with a packed breakfast!
Nowhere to hang anything, no cupboard, no drawers, no hooks. Easily rectified I’m sure.
A magical place in the middle of nature, just outside of Ella. The room is beautifully furnished and extremely well equipped and includes a wonderful private terrace. The hosts are very attentive and communicative, and serve an incredibly great breakfast. Unfortunately we were only there for one night, but we would be happy to come back anytime.
Just for your information, it is located a bit outside of Ella, but can be reached easily and cheaply by tuk tuk.
A wonderful address ! Hosts are so kind and do all they can to make your stay memorable. The room with a view on the jungle is very comfortable, even provided with a fridge full of soft drinks and water for free. The breakfast is exceptional. One of the very best place we have stayed in Sri Lanka. I recommend it!!
We can’t even begin to explain how amazing this little gem is. The room is located on the side of the owners house so you are the only guests and they look after you so well. You get your own little slice of paradise in the jungle. The room is spotless and the bed is so comfy, they have literally thought of everything. They have uno cards, first aid kit, a torch for at night, a mini speaker, hair dryer. The fridge is filled with drinks that are free of charge. The hosts gave you your privacy but were always there when needed. Every time we set off into town she’d see us off or welcome us back in with an offer of tea and coffee. She even came out with an umbrella so we didn’t get wet when it was raining on our return one night! She even gave us insect repellant! The breakfast was amazing, the fruit was so fresh and the lentil Dahl was incredible. Each day it was different and we got to try more of the Sri Lankan cuisine. We genuinely can’t put into words how perfect our stay was and want to thank you both so much for making our trip!
Absolutely amazing stay at Treetops Ella! We stayed there for 4 nights - amazing and calm place as you not only will be the only guests but also having a beautiful nature, fantastic service and breakfast as well as lovely hosts by your side. We definitely will recommend this place! Thank you so much for letting us be your guests!
We loved our stay with the kindest hosts! Expect a private entrance, a terrace overlooking nature only, a comfortable bed and an extensive delicious breakfast. We would stay here again. The hosts are so welcoming, it was hard to leave!! It’s 8 min out of town, very quiet and perfectly accessible by tuktuk (host helps you arrange whenever you need) and scooter. Ella is quite easy to rent a scooter, which will give you all flexibility.
From the moment we arrived at Treetops Ella, nestled in the lush outskirts of Ella, it was evident that we had stumbled upon a unique sanctuary. Managed by the wonderfully kind-hearted Chathu and Lasa, this homestay isn't just a place to rest; it's a home where warmth and hospitality know no bounds. The property boasts a beautifully appointed single room that perfectly encapsulates comfort and serenity. Every detail, from the comfortable bed adorned with a cozy duvet to the ample plug sockets, is thoughtfully placed to ensure guests' needs are not just met but exceeded. The room opens up to a quaint little veranda, which became our favorite spot. Sitting there, we were treated to delicious home-cooked meals, a testament to the culinary skills and effort the family puts into making guests feel welcomed and cherished. But Treetops Ella is more than its tangible comforts. It's the intangible—a feeling of peace that envelopes you as you're surrounded by a symphony of bird calls and the sight of a meticulously cared-for garden blooming with vibrant flowers. It's a retreat for the soul, a place where you can truly disconnect and immerse yourself in the tranquility of the jungle/countryside. The kindness and generosity of Chathu, Lasa, and their family are what truly set Treetops Ella apart. Their genuine care and effort to ensure our stay was nothing short of perfect was deeply touching. It’s rare to find such heartfelt hospitality, and it made our experience not just a stay but a journey into the warmth of human kindness. Our departure from Treetops Ella was bittersweet. As we said our goodbyes, we carried with us memories of a place that felt like a home away from home, promising ourselves to return. To Chathu, Lasa, and the family, we extend our heartfelt gratitude. Your homestay is a haven of peace, your hospitality a beacon of warmth. We eagerly look forward to the day we can return to this fantastic and enriching experience.
Sometimes the WiFi dropped out around 20:30 for an hour, but otherwise it was good.
Fantastic breakfast, beautiful view and terrace, very nice hosts, comfortable bed, nice bathroom.
Difficult to access by car and tuktuk, WiFi often didn’t work.
Everything was perfect, the breakfast and a dinner was amazing, the room was comfortable and clean. Still, the most special was Priyanrjith and her husband, they are so kind and hospitable, it was a wonderful stay,thank you❤️

Treetops Ella was the most amazing accommodation that we have stayed in all of Sri Lanka. The location was stunning - the pictures speak for themselves. We did not want to stay in the centre of Ella and thoroughly enjoyed the scenic walk whenever we decided to go (also great exercise!). Every detail of the place had been well thought out - from the well stocked fridge to the handy night light. They even provided a mini speaker! The bed was very comfortable and the mosquito net, along with the citronella oil, made us feel protected. The breakfast was absolutely delicious - best roti we have ever tried, alongside the dhal and coconut chutney. The fruits were so lovingly prepared and such a great variety. It felt like we were in paradise. What made our stay even more special were the people. Chathu and her husband, Lassa, were so kind and accommodating. They were warm and understanding hosts. Chathu was always there when we needed. She even managed to remove what I thought were permanent stains from my white tops! We came to Sri Lanka for a break from a very difficult time, and I was humbled to be able to share my experience with Chathu, who listened without judgement and made me feel comforted. She was more than a host to me, she is a friend. We would not hesitate to book here again and would love to return in the future. Thank you, both, for your hospitality, understanding and support. You are amazing people and I wish you all the best for the future.
Nothing.
spectacularly nice and welcoming hosts, breakfast exceeds expectations, a bit out of town, top value for money
We loved our stay. This is a brilliant homestay with just one room with a separate gate , patio, and garden but at the same time attached to the main house. This way, you enjoy full privacy, and at the same time, Lassa and his wife are always a few steps away. The room is sparkling clean, the WiFi fast, the shower hot, the jungle view relaxing. The breakfast is abundant, varied, and yummy. We ended up having dinner at our patio cooked by the family, and I am still raving for their rice and curry. Dinner was also very reasonably priced. The location is excellent as it is tucked away from busy Ella but close to 9 Arches and Adam's Peak through a safe and picturesque jungle path. Oh, and there was a mini bar with drinks free of charge and a bottle of water with every meal. Can't recommend enough!
Just a recommendation, a clothes rack with a few hangers could be added. Also, if you want to be in the noise, hustle and bustle of Ella, this place is not for you. Otherwise, the family can organise a tuk tuk at a good price and you are there in 10 min.
Location is perfect, wonderful views and nature sounds. The owners are súper nice and helpful. Delicious breakfast.
Everything was perfect.
The best place I've stayed. Lovely family, friendly people always there to help you. They arranged tuk tuks for me, always offering tea/coffee. The room is big, clean and bed so comfy. Bathroom is huge, good shower and has hot water. Amazing views from the room, little private garden with hammock to chill in the daytime. WiFi really good and breakfast was the best breakfast I've had in Sri Lanka. Fridge provided in the room which has soft drinks and waters and cold glasses. Everything was amazing. 5 stars. If I ever come back to Sri Lanka I will come back to this property. It was so good I extended my stay as soon as I arrived.
Nothing.
Tree Tops is located off the main road in a beautiful green paradise, yet is very close to sights like Little Adams Peak and the Nine Arch Bridge. There is only one guest room and it’s attached to the side of the owners home through a private gate. The outdoor seating area is huge with a great view. The owners were so kind and helpful with tips for local sites, and the breakfast was the best! We ate so much we didn’t have to eat lunch! It was like having our own private sanctuary.
This is a fantastic property - clean, comfortable and spacious. The hosts are exceptional- clearly care very much about making their guests comfortable. The breakfast was huge and very tasty. I had a wonderful stay.
It’s off the beaten track but easy to get a tuk-tuk or even walk into town.
Everything was perfect! The hosts were very nice, it was our best accommodation in Sri Lanka. The food was amazing and the hosts arranged a tuktuk and taxi for us. I would highly recommend going to treetops!
I cannot find words to say how much we liked this stay! Our room was with private entrance and little garden. Atmosphere was so calming and relaxing, you can feel that you are almost alone in the middle of the jungle. We ordered dinner and it was the best dinner we ate here in Sri Lanka! The girl who welcomed us was very kind and helpful, she arranged tuctuc for us and everything we needed. Room was full equiped, they even have mini bar with soft drinks and firs aid box. If you have chance to stay here, do not think more and stay at Treetops Ella as more days as you can! ❤️
This stay was just a 10 out of 10! From the moment we booked the host was reaching out via WhatsApp and making sure we had all the information for a safe journey there. We were greeted warm and welcoming and the room was just amazing. They welcomed us into their home, showed us how to cook authentic Sri Lankan dinner and arranged for transportation when needed. On the morning hike to little Adam’s Peak the host took us with his Tuk Tuk because he was on the way anyhow - just amazing! If we ever come back to Sri Lanka we will make sure to come back here for sure!
I have been travelling for almost a year and I think this is the best place I have stayed so far, no exaggeration. The comfort, beautiful surroundings and amazing hospitality were like nothing I have experienced before! The homestay has amazing natural surroundings, where you can take in the nature, and watch the small animals and birds going about their day. The room itself is comfortable, clean and feels like a proper hotel! There’s even hot water :) I was blown away by the food and care I was given in Treetops, too. The homestay is run by such a warm and welcoming family who gave me some of the best food I have had in Sri Lanka. The complimentary breakfast was just amazing, and the dinners I ordered were some of the best food I have had here. I was also offered complimentary tea/coffee every afternoon, which was so lovely. If I ever had a question or request, they were always available and happy to help. Thank you so, so much for welcoming me into your home! This homestay is a little bit more remote - it’s about an 8 minute tuktuk ride from Ella town, but it’s closer sights like the 9 Arch Bridge and Little Adam’s Peak as a result! I even walked to and from both. I was so happy that I chose to stay here instead of the town, which has little to offer in comparison to this beauty. If this review seems too good to be true, trust me… It’s not!
Very pleasent place with lovely garden around the property. The room is very clean and it feels like it was my own home with the facilities in it. Breakfast was amazing with srilankan traditional treatments. Best place I found in Ella. Thank you very much for the kind hospitalities. Don't miss TREETOPS ELLA in your trip to Ella :)
The Bed is very comfortable for couple 😋😍 Good Climate and feel fully Relaxation 🌿♻️🍃😇 Friendly Staff 🖤 Delicious Foods ☺️
We ended up extending our stay in Ella 4 times, because we loved this homestay so much. Cleanest and most beautiful room I've ever booked in Asia, and still it's affordable. The family was such a lovely bunch, who invited us to a family party, to experience their traditions, wonderful experience! ,The owner lasa is an employee of cafe chill Restaurant. so the included breakfast was outrageously good and different every morning. I will definitely come back to this place
Excellent breakfast with quality service..specially thank to mr.lasantha given a good support.place is with full freedom and the little garden was unforgettable
