Ayubo Ella - Bed & Breakfast

Beautiful mountain views and a quiet atmosphere away from busy Ella town, but still close enough to visit attractions. The wooden cabana style and natural surroundings make it feel relaxing and unique.

Als je rustig buiten het toeristische gedeelte wilt zitten, dan is dit ideaal! Je zit in de natuur in een mooie kamer en slaapt 's nachts met de jungle geluiden. De eigenaar helpt je graag, is zeer vriendelijk en geeft een goed ontbijt! Je kunt een hike nemen naar het centrum (flink bergopwaards, 30 minuten lopen) of de eigenaar regelt een tuktuk voor je.

Excellent service, nice big room, so friendly

There was nothing to dislike

Had a great time staying here and Mathula (host) was amazing, sorting everything we needed.

Nothing, it’s a short tuk tuk out of town but actually prefer that given how busy Ella was in the centre. Mathula helped us organised every time we wanted to go anyway so was so easy.

- the location and the views are amazing - the rooms and outside of them are very clean - the owner is the sweetest person I've ever met - the staff is very helpful and kind - the food is tasteful - the coffee is the best that we had in Sri Lanka - hot water at any hour

Sehr nettes Personal, sehr freundlich

Excelente localização, a 5 minutos a pé do centro de Ella. Pequeno-almoço típico do Sri Lanka. Quarto grande, a varanda tem uma vista incrível (cuidado com os macacos). Quarto relativamente limpo (podiam ter atenção a mais alguns detalhes).

Como existem muitos macacos nas redondezas, acabamos por não conseguir tomar o pequeno-almoço na varanda.

As Ella is known for being lively & noisy, we decided to book this place, located 10 tuk tuk minutes away from ´downtown´ Ella. It is located in the jungle, with views of paddy fields. The rooms couldn´t be calmer, and the staff was very friendly. Breakfast (included) was served on the outside terrace. A beautiful setting.

We booked two rooms, and while one was excellent in all aspects, the other smelled heavily and was very damp. Because of the mosquitoes, it wasn´t possible to sleep with the doors or windows open.

Grote kamers, mooi uitzicht, heerlijk ontbijt. Fijne vrolijke eigenaar. Op 20 min lopen van centrum Ella, heerlijk rustig.

Le propriétaire juste exceptionnel le petit dej de fou et l emplacement ainsi que le calme

Velmi příjemný personál, okamžitě odpovídali na WhatsApp. Byli moc milí. Krásný výhled a příroda kolem hotelu.

K hotelu vede poměrně nekomfortní úzká cesta, jeli jsme sami autem (bez řidiče) a byl to trochu stres, báli jsme se, aby jiné auto nejelo proti nám.

This was definitely our best hotel during our 3 week trip in Sri Lanka!!! It’s probably not the most central location in Ella but Mithula and his team will take THE best care of you! My parents had A LOT of requests and they helped us with everything and were super kind - like organising TukTuks, booking bus tickets for us, figuring out hiking routes, massage advices, making dinner etc…. And because Ella is so busy we really enjoyed the peaceful rice fields on our big terraces as well as the rooms which are super big and comfortable. I can recommend this hotel - which feels like a home - from the bottom of my heart! Thank you Mithula for all your help and laughter

Nothing!

Amazing my dear one at this hotel was great !!!! The host was sooooo lovely and thought full and accommodating!!!! The view was absolutely breathtaking a lot quieter.

I would not recommend walking from Ella main town to the property in the evening and at night as it is on Bendy and remote roads it’s definitely not a far walk but as a tourist and solo I would recommend getting a motorcycle or car to and from the venue, especially at night

Lovely spacious room with balcony overlooking rice paddy fields and with view of the Kumbalwela Mahamevnawa Forest Reserve and Temple. It’s about 4km out of Ella which suited us as very tranquil location. Really helpful host - full of ideas re where to visit and even ferried us around a bit. Dinner was great and reasonably priced.

Nothing really. The access was down a track / bumpy road but managed in our tuk tuk nevertheless!

Nice and big appartment wirh a fabulous view! The staf is very kind and helpful. They make every morning a great breakfast and do everything to make your stay comfortable. Hope we come back once! Thanks Ayubo for everything We had a great time

The room is so peaceful and clean, the view is just incredible! We sat out on the balcony chairs for hours admiring the scenery. This accommodation really is a slice of paradise!

A bit far from Ella centre, but a Tuktuk could easily be hailed at the end of the road for 500 rupees into the centre of town. The location just adds to the peacefulness to be honest.

This guesthouse in Ella was an absolute gem! From the moment I arrived, I felt incredibly welcomed and cared for. My room was spacious, had a great resting area with a sofa and armchairs, and offered a stunning view. What truly made this stay exceptional, however, was the host's incredible hospitality. He went above and beyond to ensure I had a wonderful experience. He picked me up from the train station upon my arrival and even offered me rides on his motorbike throughout my stay, whether it was to the main town or back to the guesthouse. His local knowledge was invaluable, offering excellent recommendations for things to see and do in the area. He even treated me to a delicious breakfast one morning and always made sure I had access to tea and coffee. When I got a bit ill, he showed genuine concern and even got me some Ayurvedic medicine, refusing any payment for. At the end of my stay he dropped me off at the bus stop and made sure I boarded the correct bus for my onward journey. The guesthouse is conveniently located just a 20-25 minute walk from the heart of Ella, making it easily accessible even without your own transport. The peaceful and quiet surroundings ensured a restful stay. I cannot recommend this guesthouse highly enough!

This B&B is amazing!!!! The stuff is extremely friendly and helpful. We had the superior chalet which was very clean, quiet, specious and the view was amazing. Breakfast is delicious and very plenty! Tuk Tuk 500 Rs to town. There is also a scooter available for rent. For us it was the best place ever!!!

The best stay in my almost 3 months time in Sri Lanka! Mithula and Prakash go above and beyond to give the guests the best possible experience, always with their biggest smiles. The breakfast is the most delicious local food I had, the rooms are super clean, very spacious, bright and with a dream view balcony in the middle of nature & paddy fields. You can drive to town in 5 minutes if you have a scooter, Mitha can arrange a TukTuk, or just walk along the beautiful tea plantations in 20 minutes. Mitha is very passionate about his country, showed me around and learned me so much about the local culture. We went on great adventures and became friends. I will miss you 2 and Ella but we will meet again! Bohoma sthuthi!

The host was very supporting with everything. The only issue you can have is with the parking, if multiple people arrived with cars. Rest everything is perfect.

We absolutely loved our stay, our hosts were honestly the most helpful and polite people we've experienced on our month-long trip in Sri Lanka. They went above and beyond for us, ensuring our stay was comfortable and even helping us with train tickets at the train station upon leaving! The room itself is excellent, with a great view. The location is perfect, outside the main road of Ella but a short 6 minute drive with a TukTuk. We could not recommend this place enough, 10/10!

We had slight issues with wifi, something to bear in mind if you need to do video calls.

The staff is amazing, extremely available, kind and a source of information and suggestions

Anything

We loved the lovely warm welcome and attentiveness we recieved for the manager there, we felt at home instantly and wished we were staying longer, they couldn't do enough for us

Nothing !!!

The room was comfortabel and a great place to stay (also with the chill space). Mitulla was right from the beginning reachable and good in contact. He is really there for you. He and also his helper prakesh are good hearted men and a hart workers. I would recommended it to everyone! And; that the breakfast!! ;)

Nothing :)

The property is located within a walking distance from the town centre but in the same time the surroundings are so peaceful and quite. Surrounded by lush greenery and the soothing sound of birds singing all day long. It was the perfect escape from the city. Amithula is the best host you can imagine, he is actually more of a friend that a host. He went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home, offering helpful tips about the area. I’ve never felt more welcomed.

Everything was great

My husband and I spent our first night in the heart of Ella city, but unfortunately, the place was too noisy with heavy traffic sounds, leaving us quite disappointed. The next day, we booked a stay at Ella Ayubo, which turned out to be an absolutely stunning location. The people running the place were lovely, brilliant, and incredibly friendly. Our room was spacious and romantic, offering great service, breathtaking views, and the best Sri Lankan breakfast we had during our entire trip. The location was convenient too—just 1km from Ella station, about a 20-minute walk. They also arranged a special dinner for us, featuring a homemade Sri Lankan dish that was simply delicious. What made this place stand out even more was the incredible value for money. For the quality of accommodation, we couldn't believe how affordable it was—there’s no way we could find a room of this standard for the same price anywhere else in Ella. It truly exceeded our expectations and is highly recommended.

At first glance, it may seem like a small business and some might underestimate it, but during our stay, it truly exceeded 5-star standards in every way.

I recently stayed at Ayubo Ella, it was a truly amazing experience. The room is big enough and very very clean, we had everything we need in it. Mithula was the host and he was so welcoming and you will get best hospitality experience in Sri Lanka from his staff. The property is built in nature, and you will experience all the breathtaking views around it. you will see a beautiful paddy field and very calm and quiet place for your relaxation. We were not planning for the breakfast but want to try it after all the positive experiences we had, when we mentioned this to the host he was warm enough to take our request on such short notice and it was one of the best spreads of Sri Lankan Breakfast you will get for the value you pay. Amazing food !! The location is very convenient, its only 1 km from the heart of Ella city and you will not feel walking on it with beautiful scenes. We were told by the host they will have scooters if you want to rent it out, will be one of the best ways to travel for a couple or can hire a tuk tuk or a vehicle with a reasonable price. Would have stayed long if we didn’t had any other holiday plans arranged. Highly recommend for anyone who is looking to stay in Ella.

My partner and I recently stayed at Ella Ayubo, and it was truly an exceptional experience. The location is stunningly beautiful, offering breathtaking views. The hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The room was spacious and romantic, perfect for a peaceful getaway. The service was outstanding, and we were particularly impressed by the delicious Sri Lankan breakfast—undoubtedly the best we’ve had during our time in Sri Lanka. I highly recommend this place for anyone seeking a serene and memorable stay.

Ella Ayubo is conveniently located just 1 km from Ella city center, making it a pleasant 20-minute walk to reach the heart of the town.

Not worth the money that's it

Break first was so nice and very tasty. the hoppers and polsambole was very tasty. Mr. Mithula who is the host was very friendly and helpful making our stay the best possible.

its a very isolated place who wants to work remotely without any noice and disturbance its ideal place .Room is beautiful and big space surrounded by nature

By far, this is the best place I've stayed in Sri Lanka. The room is beautiful, the view is breathtaking. It's a delight to wake up and go to sleep every day embraced by the forest. The location is perfect, very close to the center, but surrounded by nature. The most incredible thing is that, in addition to all the comfort and beauty of this accommodation, it has an extremely attentive staff who are concerned with making our stay the best possible. Mithula is a natural host. Kind, quick and super welcoming. I hope to have the opportunity to stay there again!

This stay was satisfactory overall. The room was clean and comfortable.The staff were friendly and helpful. It was a good value for the price, and I would consider staying there again. Highly recommended!

only the sound of the nature at night, which we enjoyed a lot! no noise from cars or city, so peaceful & calm. the rooms were nice & spacious. beds were very comfy. staff all the time tried to make our stay joyful and smooth - organized vehicle to Udawallawe for a good price. wifi works fine.

first night somehow we only had (very) cold water but next 2 nights it was nice warm. food was tasty but the two times we ordered without spices/chili food was still too spicy for us so we couldn’t eat, but the staff were understanding and took responsibility and gave a discount.

Location

Water pressure was very bad in the bathroom, you have to spend a lot of time when taking a shower since the water flow is very low. And also you have to wait for a long time for hot water . We were woken up by a sound of some people singing and playing a bongo around 1 am early morning and it lasted until 2 or 3 am. We requested an iron, just after we received there was no power in the room.

Lovely big room with amazing view! Great breakfast and the best host! Thank you for the amazing stay

Showerhead was loose and waterpressure a bit low.

The property is stunning and the landscaping adds a beautiful touch.

Water pressure is low. There were some customers that came too early before the check in time and they were too loud.

It was a real pleasure to spend a night here. We had to leave the next day, but if we'd been able to, we would have stayed another night. The place is wonderful, the host is great and really funny. This is one of the best places I've stayed in Sri Lanka.

Absolutely fantastic place . Huge breakfast , super helpful staff , gorgeous room and balcony where you can watch mongoose, peacocks , chipmunks and egrits

Bigger sheet on the double bed would help.

Wonderful place to stay in Ella. The hotel is located a few minutes away from the Ella railways station (about 500 local currency will get you there by tuk tuk) Mithun the owner and the caretaker of the place has such a positive vibe that it makes your stay even better and he will arrange everything that you need to make your stay a memorable experience. Room was bigger than I thought and the interior gave the authentic stone brick vibe which was a plus to the surrounding nature. There is small stream running down just next to the hotel although you can only hear it as the vegitation covers the area. And waking up to the sounds of the nature was a great way to start your day. All the general attraction are closeby and you can get a bike rental or a tuk tuk. Mithun will arrange that as well. Will recommend this place to all who are looking for a quite place to stay and relax and I will definitely be visiting this amazing place again

Dejligt sted hos Ayubo og værterne var excellent. Dejlig middag og morgenmad. Ligger lidt afsides dog ikke et problem. God udsigt og dejlige værelser med balkon.

Good Location Spacious Rooms Comfortable Beds Very Clean Great service Excellent staff Good value for the money you spend

A perfect stay in Ella. Just 1km away from the railway station. The view from the homestay is amazing. The family owned well maintained place at a budget price. 5 rooms are available in the homestay and can accomodate 11 people comfy but upto 15 people can manage it. We group of friends stayed a night there and they arranged our lunch upon our request and they had every kitchen needs including a plates, tea cups, knifes, spoons etc. to prepare us our dinner. Also they arranged a campfire and help us in every way. Rooms are fabulous views and we didnt expect that much according to the budget price. All rooms had attached bathrooms with hot water showers. We spent there relaxed and had a great expirence. Worth to visit. Recommend it.

😃

One of the best places we've been in Sri Lanka. When we arrived we found a super clean and tidy room that had a fantastic scent. The host, is an amazing person that helped us a lot and a terrific chef. For the three days we were there, we had some of the best breakfast that we had in Sri Lanka. (Since we are vegans, cooked great vegan breakfasts for us) Great hospitality, highly suggested.

Nothing, everything great.

I'm lucky to stay there in Ayubo Ella.calm and quiet place.They warmly welcomed me and my friend.Room is very very spacious,with a comfy bed. Really not far from Ella,we can walk to the city in 8 minutes.The surrounding is nice.we could have to see some rare birds and animals.The deer,peacocks ,giant squirrel etc. We also saw the beautiful tea plantations,paddy fields around the place. Finally we had a excellent breakfast with all kinds of Sri Lankan tasty food items. The boy guided us. He's very friendly. Thanks for all your facilities,and hospitality.Hope to see you in December again.

Nothing .we recommend a good place to stay.

super clean calm Isolated silence

nothing at all

We stayed here mid-way through our honeymoon, and while a little out of our usual comfort zone (expected) we absolutely loved it. The accommodation felt rustic, and authentic, and was beautifully decorated, set overlooking a rice field. However, this turned out to be a great experience, where we sat on the porch and watched fireflies dance around the trees opposite. The food was incredible, and the Poboda,he was always happy cooking and explaining the foods and process. We also did a cooking lesson, which was a great experience. The owner, was incredibly welcoming, and made some great recommendations and offered to arrange various activities for us. My Wife also left her shoes when we left, and owner kindly dropped them to us a few days later as he was nearby.

1km in city center, nothing

Owner of the Hotel was really helpful

Perfect view, very quiet and the service is very good. Best sri lankan breakfast!

good breakfast and hospitable staff. shower could be improved. 5 minutes by tuc-tuc from main street of town

Ejeren sagde at han ikke var tilknyttet hotels.com, så der var ikke noget værelse til os. Vi måtte så finde et andet hotel!
