Ravana Heights

The staff make this place really special. Room was spacious and location nice just a little off the strip but close enough.

It doesn’t have any bar area but it didn’t matter to us.

Está cerca del centro, la tranquilidad, las vistas espectaculares desde la habitación y la amabilidad de sus dueños y resto personal, estuvieron atentos en todo momento, les pedimos poder hacer colada y sin problema, quedó la ropa lista antes de marcharnos. Lo recomiendo 100%

Nos gustó todo

Les chambres, confortables et bien décorées La magnifique vue sur la montagne Le petit déjeuner copieux et délicieux

Rien

Location amazing. Can walk directly into town. Owner super friendly and welcoming.

Spectacular view from higher floor rooms to the Ella Gap. Very kind and helpful staff. Peaceful atmosphere and the surroundings. Just a few steps from Ella's centre. Delicious breakfast served with the view. I'd love to spend more lazy mornings there.

Schoon en rustig en dichtbij Ella.

Niks

De eigenaar en het personeel maken er een 5 sterrenbeleving van. Wij hebben 9 hotels gehad op Sri Lanka, maar deze service was uitzonderlijk! De kamers zijn erg schoon!

The location was excellent. Walking distance to the town centre and night life but far enough to be quiet. Staff were very hospitable and keep the premises clean.

We felt it was way overpriced for what you get. But that might reflect that Ella is generally more expensive than other towns in Sri Lanka.

Location

Climbing up

Hotel is in a good location, a short walk (or tuk tuk ride) from the main strip in Ella, it’s therefore close enough to the action but also quiet. The room was modern and clean. We had a front facing room with a balcony which had lovely views of the mountains. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had to leave early one morning for one of our activities and they made us the tastiest scrambled egg sandwiches we had the entire trip plus fruit which we particularly appreciated given we had a toddler to feed.

Not dislikes as such but we hadn’t realised this was a B&B and so there wasn’t really an option to eat dinner here (although the owner did kindly invite us to dinner but it was too early for us and didn’t fit our plans) this was only a mild inconvenience because we have two small children so eating onsite would have been helpful after a day out. I received a strange message from the owner a couple of days before arrival about issues with drivers/driver accommodation which made me feel alittle uncomfortable and so would encourage Hotel Ravanna to keep any disputes it’s having locally private.

This property is really well located for staying in Ella, walkable into town and not far from the sights. The staff and owner are lovely and really helpful. I really enjoyed the pancakes and tea on arrival and the breakfasts. The view from our room of Ella gap was amazing. The accommodation is done up to a very standard and the staff go out of their way to help you with things like fresh tea when you would like it. I understand people’s comments about this property that it doesn’t have a standard bar or chill area like hotels do but despite this, it’s a lovely place to be. It only has 6 rooms so it’s more like a boutique guest house. What you are paying for is the excellent service and view and the location

Wonderful welcome Lovely host and family looking after us Amazing food So well located for the town 7 min walk Very clean and well appointed We had a very good time staying there and cannot recommend highly enough

Charming and spacious with a lovely outlook, away from the hustle and bustle of the Main Street but only a short walk

Nothing

Good location, big rooms, really friendly and lovely staff who are very helpful

Sehr umfangreiches Frühstück, Sonderwünsche konnten geäußert werden und wurden auch erfüllt.

The ladies who run the hotel are so friendly and hospitable, it's a real hime away from home. Breakfast is exceptional and our hosts insisted on providing us lunch one day as well, which was delicious and very generous. The hotel is an easy walk from the centre of Ella and is quiet and peaceful, with a beautiful garden and gorgeous views. It was a highlight of our trip to Sri Lanka

Room had fantastic view of Ella Rock. The owner, a big personality, and staff were very helpful all working as a team. On arrival we were welcomed with a snack of pancakes with banana and tea which was appreciated.

There is a short walk into Ella, with no pavement and no lighting (but this is standard in most of Sri Lanka) and not unusual. Pack a torch or use your phone torch.

Very luxurious room was astounding views across the valley to the mountains on the other side

Too expensive and a bit too far out of Ella - the walk is only 5 mins but the road is very busy

Sehr nettes, freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal Schöne und geräumige Zimmer mit tollem Ausblick auf die Berge Schöne und gepflegte Anlage mit toller Frühstücksterrasse Leckeres Frühstück Gute Lage in Ella

Der Weg zur Stadt führt an einer unbeleuchteten Straße entlang; die Stadt ist aber recht nah. Unterkunft erreicht man über einige Treppen, für uns aber völlig in Ordnung.

Wat een fantastisch hotel met ontzettend lieve mensen. Heerlijke kamer, geweldig uitgebreid ontbijt en op loopafstand van het gezellige Ella. De vriendelijke dames wilden graag een keer ‘a avonds voor ons koken. Dit was geweldig. Hier wil je verblijven als je Ella en omgeving wilt verkennen!

Very friendly owner and stuff who took care of every little thing we needed. And we’re very generous. Room was very clean and specious. Overall it is a small hotel only 6 rooms with calm and familiar atmosphere. Great location

A bit pricey for the facilities they offer.

We just enjoyed every moment. The staff is pleasant and kind. They help with everything. The breakfast is delicious. The location is excellent. It's just fun.

We stayed at Ravana Heights for two nights and appreciated the friendly chats with the owner, the lovely ladies who worked there, and the walkability to/from the town and train station. Our room was very large, clean, and had a nice view.

Ravana Heights was our most expensive hotel during our two-week Sri Lanka holiday, and considering the higher price we expected a bit more from the property. For example, we had issues with wifi and thought the towels felt old and scratchy. It's the sort of place where you either hang out in your room or leave the property; the common areas were not the most welcoming. At a lower price point we would've been satisfied, but we had hoped for more.

Molto pulito, molto carino, stanza e bagno spaziosi, vista bellissima, personale gentile e disponibile. Ottimo posto dove alloggiare.

The room is very comfortable, clean and the bathroom is big and nice.

As a couple is a bit overpriced, I guess for 3 people worth it.

Great view with a quick walk into busy Ella town. Room super clean and feels freshly renovated. Manager and staff went above and beyond to make our stay one of the best we've had in Sri Lanka

Made very welcome. Lovely staff - couldn't be more helpful. Traditional-style, super-clean room with balcony. Traditional furnishings. Great breakfast. Easy walk to town - a few minutes. Private and very little road noise. Easily accessible - many places in Ella are not!

Nothing - thoroughly recommended.

Badkamer, nieuw en functioneel

De aangegeven hotelfacilliteiten waren niet aanwezig. Dit is een bed&breakfast GEEN hotel. De eigenaar hoort zichzelf graag oreren. Overig personeel lief en aandoenlijk maar volstrekt niet de hotelprijs waard. Voor dit bedrag had je veel betere hotels kunnen hebben. De site info is onjuist.

Very friendly host

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We were offered a pancake and tea when we arrived, which was lovely. The room was comfortable and had a fantastic view. We liked the fact that Ella was just a short walk away.

We thought it was completely overpriced. Access with heavy bags is bot easy as there are quite a few steps up to it.

Fantastisk frukost- jättemycket frukt, två ägg, en pannkaksrulle med söt kokos, toasts och kaffe eller te. Vi blev dessutom bjudna på hemlagad mat en kväll- fantastiskt gott! Eftermiddagste/kaffe med kaka erbjöds och personalen var så rara. Fin utsikt över Ella Peak. Lagom nära in till Ella (5 min att gå).

Lite trafikstört, "stora" vägen går alldeles nedanför. Ta med pann/ficklampa så man ser och syns när man går hem på kvällarna.

Widoki, wielkość łóżek

Mogłoby być czyściej, zwłaszcza w łazience

What an amazing hotel this was! The staff were very friendly, and attentive to every detail. They also offered us a full lunch meal from thailand cooked by the wife of the owner. Would definitely recommend this hotel in ella.

The accommodation is a small family run business and it shows in the warmth and friendliness of both the owner and staff. They were very welcoming and went out of their way to make sure our stay was fantastic. From cleanliness, great location, delicious breakfasts and the thoughtfulness of making us smoothies after a day out, everything was taken care off. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Location, room, beds, and staff (all ladies) were superb. Owner very welcoming. Breakfast was very satisfying. Daily housekeeping. View unsurpassable. Garden was stunning. Highly recommend.

We had an amazing stay here. The staff and owner were so gracious and made us feel very welcome. Breakfast was incredible and extremely well done. Plus we say monkeys from the property! Would definitely recommend this place for your trip to Ella

Location was excellent and quiet away from the beating heart of Ella. The beds were very comfortable and the two/three ladies running the place were excellent

Booking.com suggests the place is a 3 star, however, it is rated as a 1 star, but very clean and the cost of our stay was not worth the money. Ella is a vibrant and lively town with lots of tourists, both young and old, however, the prices for everything is inflated for tourists, including Tuk Tuk fares, which compared to Kandy and Colombo were super inflated. Was never inclined to tip either as I hate being ripped off.

Muy bien situado a 5 min andando del pueblo, lo suficiente para estar tranquilos y con vistas maravillosas. La habitación familiar limpia y renovada y las señoras q atienden el hotel son encantadoras y preparan unos desayunos muy ricos.nos ayudaron con la excursiones y transfer.

Great breakfasts, sitting on the terrace with views to Ella Rock and the gap. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the complimentary dinner they provided on our third day was was exceptional as well as the tea and pancake on arrival. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Minor cleaning issues, but nothing serious (and better than most places we have stayed at in Sri Lanka)

We had an amazing stay at ravana heights! The rooms are spacious, and are very clean. The service in this hotel is outstanding, the ladies take care of every need. Especially Washanti is the sweetest woman ever and makes that the stay is exceptional. Thank you for all good cares, beyond any expectations. The location is also good, its not as busy as the centre of Ella but with 5 minutes walking you’re there. In order to get to the hotel you need to walk a few steps up but nothing that one in average health cannot do.

Nothing

Excellent staff and food was outstanding! The best we’ve had in Sri Lanka. We were cooked a complimentary Thai chicken curry one evening and the breakfasts were superb with banana pancakes. We loved the stylish decor with scandi meeting Sri Lankan classical rattan and all was so well cared for and of great quality. We had a lovely private balcony with stylish wooden chairs and a great view over the garden terrace to Ella Rock. The hotel is small and very quiet only a short walk up the main rd into town.

Coffee could have been improved but this is an issue throughout Sri Lanka.

The hospitality was really quite incredible! We were made to feel so welcome by the host and all his lovely staff. The location is perfect and the view of Ella Rock across the lush gardens is stunning.

Skvelá poloha, čistá izba, krásny výhľad, veľa zelene, ticho a úžasný personál! Najlepšie palacinky na svete 💛 Ďakujeme

It was exceptional! The views are incredible! The rooms are huge and very clean. The staff are so helpful and the food is delicious!

Die Lage.

Sauberkeit (altes Brot unter dem Bett, lange schwarze Haare überall in den Bädern), muffige Zimmer, Probleme mit warmen Wasser, Frühstück und Unterkunft dem Preis entsprechend mit angemessen.

Clean and tidy rooms, friendly staff, very tasty breakfast. In this region, Ella is a true Sri Lankan tourist paradise, full of nice cafes, small shops, and bustling with life in the evening.

The view was amazing, staff very nice and served amazing complimentary dinner, guided us where to go other than usual tourists sites. Room is spacious and wonderful

The luggage needed to be brought up, in the morning there was staff helping but at night the staff goes home so we had to carry it uphill and up stairs. It is fine just not amazing. We had two bathrooms as we booked for family of four which was amazing but only one shower could be used

Allt. Framförallt de trevliga och vänliga damerna! Den goda frukosten, middagen, rummet var magiskt, sängarna underbara! Läget perfekt 👌

Lugnt men ändå nära centrum. Supertrevlig personal och ägaren är glad, social och väldigt serviceinriktad. Rummet är stort rent och lyxigt. Det bästa är nog ändå pannkakorna som erbjuds på hotellet!

Inget.

Great breakfast, amazing staff, clean and comfortable rooms

Brilliant staff and a really interesting and helpful owner.

Шикарное месторасположение с видом на Элла Рок, поэтому тут достаточно тихо, но в то же время в пяти минутах ходьбы от улицы с ресторанами и магазинами. Вид с балкончика такой, что можно просто сидеть и наслаждаться) Номер достаточно просторный с высокими потолками, кровать удобная, матрас отличный. Есть пледы на прохладную погоду. Хорошая ванная комната, полотенца меняют ежедневно, сантехника grohe) Вкусные завтраки! Очень приятный хозяин, ему нравится Россия, свободно владеет английским! Помогли мне, когда я приболела, так же вызвали такси для следующего места отдыха!

Наш номер был первый к зоне ресепшена, поэтому с утра слышны все рабочие передвижения и разговоры, было бы круто поставить вторую дверь, чтобы это было уменьшить! Мало косметических средств за такую стоимость, только одного вида жидкость в двойном диспенсере и то непонятно какая, видимо гель для душа, и кусковое мыло. Нет ни шампуней, ни кондиционеров, ни зубного набора. Это расстроило.

Beautiful views across the valley. Property set in lovely gardens just a quick tuk tuk ride from the centre of Ella. Friendly staff Large clean room

Couldn't work out why it was so expensive. Room very simple No bar or restaurant

stuff

So many insects, holy. I couldn’t wait to leave Ella. The room looks clean at first, but I know they didn’t clean it corner to corner. And again, I booked through Booking.com but they tried to charge me the full price when I was about to check out. I wanted to leave so badly that I said I would skip breakfast, but they still made one for me and packed it for me.

The property was just off the main road in Ella. It was near enough to all the action, but far enough that it was not noisy. The view was wonderful! The room was neat and clean. We got upgraded when we arrived, which was a wonderful surprise. The staff were really supportive and helpful. The breakfast was great! Thank you all so much for your hospitality!

Fantastic little hotel, clean and high qualiity standard, extraordinary friendly staff and manager Big thank you for serving delicious dinner Overall an awesome place

To start with, the view was truly unbelievable, and then surprised to be upgraded to a Suite that had an even better view at no extra cost. The breakfast was typical Sri Lankan, and the fruit platter absolutely sumptuous. It was the first time we experienced all female staff at a Hotel and what a marvellous experience. The ladies were absolutely fabulous. As an added bonus, they even served us dinner at no extra cost which was not a part of the booking. A special THANK YOU to 2 of the ladies (Vasanthi and Sumana) who saw to our every need. We will always remember the Owner/Manager who was charming, informative and interesting. Highly recommend a stay here.

There was nothing to dislike about this property.

מיקום נהדר שקט אך מרכזי, נוף מדהים מהמרפסת הכנסת אורחים נהדרת וחמה. ארוחות מצוינות וברוחב לב. ניקיון למופת ומים חמים במקלחת! תודה רבה ממליצים מאוד על המקום

It's very hard to describe how amazing this place is! The big rooms, the perfect location of the hotel in the ella and of course the nicest and most welcoming staff I've ever met.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was excellent with a short walk to town. The room was very comfortable and clean. We loved the breakfast that was included.

Ella was a bit cooler when we visited and the beds only had sheets. However there were some small blankets in the cupboard

Lovely view and helpful friendly staff. Also made a lovely Thai meal for us. Easy walk into town.

Steep steps to get there with luggage. Expensive compared to other places we stayed

As vistas do hotel são soberbas e a simpatia dos funcionários é para amolecer o coração. Sempre com um sorriso de orelha a orelha! Pequeno jardim muito bem cuidado. Sabe bem estar sentado a saborear o momento, quer num lanche durante a tarde com panquecas e chá ou num pequeno almoço delicioso logo pela manhã! O dono do hotel adora uma boa conversa. É culto e desafiador! Super atenciosos com a alimentação. À chegada ofereceram panquecas e chá! O pequeno almoço é trazido à mesa. Sempre com muita simpatia, cuidado e delicadeza. O pequeno almoço é abundante e rico. Não dá para deixar ficar nada por comer! Tudo delicioso e fresco!

Um pouco de odor estranho no quarto à chegada, mas dá para habituar!

Great hospitality and really good breakfast ! We enjoyed our very short stay very much and when coming back to Ella Ravana Heights will be our Joyce again.

The staff was so nice and welcoming

El personal y las vistas

El ruido

Sehr gastfreundliches, familiäres Hotel mit extrem bemühtem Besitzer und Mitarbeiterinnen. Die Zimmer sind hochwertig eingerichtet, sehr sauber und komfortabel – wir hatten sogar zwei Badezimmer. Bequeme Betten, Klimaanlage und ein leckeres Frühstück sorgen für absoluten Wohlfühlfaktor. Besonders toll: Wir wurden zum sehr leckeren Mittagessen eingeladen. Das Hotel liegt in einer kleinen Ruhe-Oase mit gepflegtem Garten und traumhaftem Bergblick – trotzdem erreicht man zu Fuß schnell die Hauptstraße mit vielen Cafés und Restaurants, die neue Bogenbrücke sowie den Bahnhof mit Zügen Richtung Kandy. Ein Hotel ideal für Familien und Pärchen! Danke für die schöne Zeit.

Es gibt nichts zu bemängeln.

Nice gardens; clean and comfortable room; banana pancakes were excellent! It was also down one end of town but close enough to walk back after dinner.

Slight noise from main road but double glazing balcony doors meant it was limited but this is me struggling to find something negative.

Das Personal war sehr zuvorkommend.

Die vorhänge waren schwierig zurückzustossen

Awesome location. Amazing food. Staff were great and helped with everything we needed

Nothing. All good

Firstly, the staff. The staff were warm and welcoming. The room had a nice garden view with limited views of the mountains. It was well appointed and comfortable and had a very large bathroom. Breakfast was a set menu and plentiful. The fruit selection was amazing.

Nothing

Our hosts were charming.Close to shops and restaurants.Fabulous views. Our hosts welcomed us with roti style pancakes with bananas. The breakfast was very good .

calm only

water is dirty we can’t wash our hands or even wash our hair the water is verrrrrrry bad is coming with yellow color also the pictures on booking is fake it’s appear like Five star hotel but on reality it is ZEROOO STAR HOTEL hospitality is bad they put home mades as hospitality staff . it’s the worst hotel that i have been ever.

For just a room the price is expensive ,no facilities nothing however the staff were very nice .

Stunning view in the family room upstairs. Very good breakfast. Calm spot very close to city center.

Not as clean as it should be: hairs on the floor and on the sheet. Towels could be washed better. Not really worth the expense, you pay for the view

The Sri Lankan ladies really looked after me with tasty breakfast, pots of tea and coffee. Just a short walk into Ella township. Highly recommended.

The ladies were so helpful and welcoming

- The two ladies who cooks and serves breakfast were absolutely lovely. All the staffs very cordial and friendly. -We loved the breakfast and overall service. -The location is great both in terms of views and convenience.

-Carrying luggage from the parking is quite difficult but the staffs do help you out.

Staff were incredibly nice, and they served us nice dinner for free. Facilities were good. View from hotel is majestic!

Price for room a little expensive. Comparing to other hotels we've stayed we felt this is £90 per night room not $265

The staff were exceptional - very friendly and accomodating. They even packed us sandwiches for our train ride!

Nothing

This place is NOT a 1-star hotel, it’s more of a 4 star hotel with 5 star service. The caretaker ladies are the sweetest and are wonderful cooks! We spent 4 beautiful days here and had an amazing time. Clean and comfortable beds, hot water, good wifi. The owner is very talkative and well spoken, and the ladies are up at the crack of dawn to serve delicious pancakes and if you ask nicely, dinner and lunch as well. Just outside of town where it’s quieter, and compared to others, not that steep of a walk to town. Great views of Ella Rock. Must stay! Thanks again.

Nice location

Nice staffs and very clean room
