Stunning view
Pros:

We had two spacious rooms adjacent to each other. Great outdoor space for each of them, with a spectacular view over the mountain opposite and a cascading waterfall outside one of them. Great location being only a short-ish walk to town, but beautifully peaceful

Cons:

Just be careful if you're travelling by car as it's too tight a squeeze on the path for them to bring you right to the entrance with your bags, but you can get pretty close

Pros:

Famille incroyablement gentille :)
Nous avons prit le logement pour 3 avec terrasse et une vue incroyable sur la cascade
Très proche du centre (10min en passant par les rails) et pourtant au calme
Juste en face d’une balançoire que vous pouvez faire pour 500 roupies
Douche chaude ! :)

Je ne peux que recommander :)

Cons:

Terrasse passante pour aller dans un autre logement, c’était le seul point

Voor ons een mindere ervaring.
Pros:

De locatie heeft een prachtig uitzicht en via de spoorbaan is het centrum snel bereikbaar.

Cons:

De recensies waar wij op af gingen hebben wij niet als zodanig ervaren. De kamer was niet gereed toen wij aankwamen en we hadden ook twijfel aan de schoonmaak ervan. Er waren meerdere dingen voor verbetering vatbaar en wij hebben dat met de host besproken. We hopen dat ze daar wat mee gaat doen. Zeker de badkamer was een onvoldoende.

Very good
Pros:

The view is fantastic, incredibly beautiful to wake up and see the waterfall. Very special. The owners are very friendly and kind people.

Cons:

All was great, but there is quite humid in the room and mold in the bathroom. A bit hard to get to the location by taxi.

Ottima posizione davanti alla cascata.
Pros:

Posizione ottima, in 5 minuti arrivi al centro di Ella, inoltre la vista dalla terrazza era proprio di fronte a Ravana Ella Waterfall. Colazione fatta in casa buonissima e abbondante.
La proprietaria e la figlia sono molto dolci e premurose.

Cons:

La connessione Wi-Fi e l’elettricità erano un po’ deboli. E scarseggiava l’acqua della doccia.

Pros:

La struttura si trova a 5 minuti di tuk tuk dalla stazione, immersa nel verde. Il punto di forza è il patio da cui si vede una bellissima cascata. La camera è molto spaziosa e pulita. Il patio è meraviglioso ed è qui che la signora serve colazione e cena. Condogliamo tantissimo questo posto, non solo per la bellezza del luogo ma per la gentilezza della signora e di sua figlia. Cibo ottimo e abbondante

I would thoroughly recommend staying at this establishment. Excellent all round.
Pros:

The views are amazing. Our dinner was exceptional that our host provided for one night. Communication was very good.

Cons:

The drain in our room from the shower was blocked so the bathroom filled up with water.

A hidden Gem in Ella
Pros:

Dilhani and her family took wonderful care of us, the view is astounding and waking up to the waterfall churning is serene. The room had everything we needed, and so peaceful away from the Ella buzz. However, a lovely 10 min walk along the train tracks gets you into town. From town, a tuktuk is about 400-500 rupees depending on your negotiating. We had delicious and enormous breakfasts everyday which was great prep for all the active sightseeing. One night we stayed in for dinner which was also very tasty, and again huge! Her father let us borrow his umbrella (much needed in Ella!) too which was very kind, as well as offering a tuktuk ride with our stuff when leaving. Thank you so much Dilhani and her lovely family, it was a pleasure to stay with you.

Cons:

Not a dislike but for anyone booking, if you are travelling to the property at night then you will want to get a tuktuk as the road are too small for most cars.

Comfortable stay with lovely views.
Pros:

While this property is dislocated from Ella centre, I personally would have the incredible views from the big patio over the hussle and rustle of the town anytime. It’s just a 10mins walk along the rails away, and I even loved adventure in that. You absolutely don’t need A/C in the apartment I’ve stayed at - days are cool with a fan provided and nights are fresh. Bed is comfortable. Homeowners are very nice people, breakfasts are plentiful.

Cons:

It’s a pity that the fridge in the patio is quite noisy. For whatever reason, mobile reception at the property is very bad, and Wi-fi is unpredictable at best.
