Pros:

Отличный завтрак, хороший вид с балкона и с террасы для завтрака

Cons:

За 3 дня так и не появилась горячая вода. Много ступеней до комнаты, если тяжёлый багаж это сложно.

Kan kun anbefale dette sted.
Pros:

Fantastisk sød familie der driver dette homestay. Dejlig varieret morgenmad. Helt utroligt smuk udsigt fra balkon. Ligger perfekt og stille, men tæt, og i gåafstand til byen.

Incredible view, would gladly stay here again
Pros:

The view is sensational. Didn't know what I was getting into when I booked this place and my jaw dropped when I pulled up. The view of Ella Rock and a waterfall are stunning. And visible from your room and balcony. The breakfast was simple yet very filling and delicious. The family was very friendly and helpful, most specifically the young man who cleans the rooms and handles the breakfast. Despite no AC, I was perfectly comfortable with the fan - often didn't even need it (February). The bed was comfortable and got my best nights sleep of the trip here. I rented a scooter in house and did laundry as well.

Cons:

Since this is a family friendly place, there were LOTS of small children around. This meant additional noise and at times, breakfast was rather disruptive. Despite 3 available networks, the wifi in the room was not good. The owner consistently was trying to wheel and deal... a taxi ride, a tour, something. Just chill, let me come to you if I need something.

Séjour magnifique de 4 nuits à Ella
Pros:

La vue magnifique est magnifique depuis la chambre, le personnel est très sympathique et était disponible pour nos demandes (possibilité de demander à dîner le soir, tuk tuk et taxi à la demande). Le petit déjeuner est délicieux et change chaque jour. Le lit était confortable et le logement était bien situé à une dizaine de minutes du centre de Ella

Cons:

La chambre manque peut-être de rangements pour ses affaires

Best location, best hospitality, best choice
Pros:

Sunray homestay offers a superb location. While being seven minutes walk from the center of Ella, it offers fabulous views of Ella Rick, Adam peak and to top it all the Koda Rawana waterfalls. This is the only sound you hear when it doesn’t rain. On top of this great location the room was well equipped and breakfast was good and different every day (we stayed for four nights) giving a taste of Sri Lankan food but meeting the sensitive European needs. And the hospitality topped it all with guidance and with helpful tips and transportation. The best of all worlds.

Cons:

Nothing.

Vistas espectaculares
Pros:

El alojamiento tiene unas vistas a ella rock y a una cascada impresionantes. Desayunar con esa tranquilidad y esas vistas no está pagado. No está en la calle donde están todos los restaurantes de Ella pero se agradece ya que eso permite descansar sin ruidos. El chico que nos atendió durante la estancia es un 10 en eficiencia. Nos proporcionó la moto y nos llevó con su tuk tuk a la estación de ella para coger el tren. Nos servía el desayuno rápido, rico y variado. No podemos tener ninguna queja. La habitación modesta pero con ducha cerrada, agua caliente y mosquitera. Detalles que se agradecen cuando llevas unos días viajando por el país.

Cons:

Está en un callejón poco iluminado y cuesta de encontrar por la noche.

Excellent séjour
Pros:

La chambre était propre et spacieuse. Le lit était très confortable. La salle de bain était propre et fonctionnelle. Vue sur les montagnes.
Proche des lieux touristiques, du centre ainsi que des lieux d'intérêts.

Le personnel était d'une gentillesse, souriant et disponible. Quel plaisir de les avoir rencontré !

Le petit déjeuner était excellent avec vue sur les montagnes.

Un séjour reposant et agréable.

Convenient location with picturesque surroundings. You get a 180 degree view of Ella rock, one of the waterfalls and the rail track in the mountains which feels like dreamy.

There's space to improve interior and related details.
