Very cozy and Lovely
Pros:

We had a wonderful time here! The balcony of the room looks out on the waterfall and we saw so much wild birds, mongoose, monkeys! Even when there was a storm, this was such a romantic place that my boyfriend proposed here.🧡

The breakfast was the best we had in Sri Lanka, maybe my life.😅

It is a bit far from the centre but there is a shortcut by walk and reachable by tuktuk. You can also hear the other rooms quite well but as many go to sleep early here that is no problem. I loved the rain on the roof as well! Perfect to sleep.

Beautiful place!

Cons:

Nothing

Wunderbares Hotel mit schönen Zimmern
Pros:

Das Cozy Homestay ist ein gemütliches kleines Hotel mit einer tollen Aussicht. Es liegt mitten im Grünen und man wird morgens von dem Gesang der Vögel geweckt. Unser Zimmer war groß, gut ausgestattet und sauber. Frühstück wurde uns morgens zur gewünschten Uhrzeit vor dem Zimmer auf dem Balkon serviert und war super lecker!
Vom Hotel aus kann man eine längere Treppe hochsteigen und ist dann direkt auf den Bahngleisen, von denen aus man mehrere Restaurants erreicht und in die eine Richtung direkt zu einem großen Wasserfall kommt. In die andere Richtung geht's in den Ort hinein mit allen Bars und Geschäften.
Der Gastgeber ist extrem freundlich und zuvorkommend.

Unser Aufenthalt hier und in Ella allgemein war das Highlight unseres Sri Lanka Rundtrips und wir planen schon, wieder hierhin zurück zu kommen!

Lovely relaxing calm. Clean tidy comfortable room and lovely friendly helpful hosts
Pros:

The property was wrapped in the natural surroundings with monkeys jumping about. It was close to the main area although a big walk back up the hill but a tuk tuk was very cheap and a local waterfall to see close by

Cons:

Nothing we didn’t like

Very Cozy
Pros:

There amazing night at Senu and his family's. The view of the waterfall and the mountain is beautiful, the accommodation is in a perfect location for Ella Rock hiking and to reach the town of Ella on foot by following the tracks. Senu is always attentive and available. Breakfast in the morning was both hearty and delicious. If it was possible to give more than 5 stars, I would! Thanks again

Pros:

This place is such a delight, the view from the balcony is impeccable. What a pleasure to take your breakfast in the morning with this view! We will for sure remember it! The staff were also very kind and flexible with the check out time - which was really appreciated ! I highly recommend this place to stay in Ella! It is also a bit outside of the noise - so if you want some lush and tropical vibe, this is the place !
