Pros:

W pokoju byla woda i suszarka do włosów. Super lokalizacja blisko Little Adam's Peak i Nine Arches Bridge. Bardzo dobre sniadanie i miłe panie.

Cons:

Duży pokój dwusobowy w rzeczywistości spokojnie pomieści 4 osoby, bo są dwa łóżka podwójne. Jednak przy wyborze tego pokoju dla trzech osob wyswietlala sie informacja, ze nie pomieści on trzech osob i trzeba bylo wziąć dwa takie pokoje

Fantastisch in de natuur en toch vlakbij Ella
Pros:

Prachtig uitzicht, net buiten Ella ben je helemaal in de natuur en rust. Vlakbij nine arch bridge en little adams peak. Warme douche, schoon, goed bed, basic. Voortreffelijk lokaal avondeten en ontbijt. Lieve mensen.

Cons:

Niet makkelijk te vinden, alleen 1 personeelslid spreekt Engels.

Un petit coin de paradis
Pros:

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour. Famille accueillante, d’une gentillesse extrême. Toujours disponible mais discrète et de très bon conseil.
La chambre est spacieuse et confortable. Eau chaude pour la douche. Les petits déjeuner sont copieux et très bon, tout comme les repas servi que nous avons choisi nous même (en supplément mais à un bon tarif).
Un vrai petit coin de paradis à l’écart de la ville, parfaitement situé entre le Little adam’s et le pont.
Pour nous la meilleure guest et famille de notre séjour. Olivia & Julien

Cons:

Devoir repartir, mais l’aventure continue…

We loved the view
Pros:

Quiet, nice room, nice view, good food

Cons:

As mold is present in Sri Lanka due to humidity, we felt the smell during the night. But it’s very common in that area.

Wspaniałe miejsce
Pros:

W pełni zasłużona 10-tka. Wspaniałe miejsce i wspaniali właściciele. Przestronny i czysty pokój, ciepła (gorąca wręcz) woda, co nie jest standardem na Sri Lance, piękny widok z pokoju. Całości dopełniają przepyszne i bardzo syte śniadania przygotowywane na tarasie - coś pięknego :) Polecam usługę prania: ubrania pięknie pachną. Skorzystałyśmy również z wycieczki na Diyaluma Falls, gdzie zabrał nas właściciel obiektu swoim tuktukiem - bardzo polecam to miejsce! Dodatkowo miejsce jest w świetnej lokalizacji - rzut beretem do Nine Arches bridge i Little Adam's Peak. Dziękujemy za wspaniały pobyt ♥️

Cons:

Wszystko było idealne :)

Estancia maravillosa
Pros:

El mejor desayuno de todo Sri Lanka. Variado todos los días y casero. Delicioso y con unas vistas maravillosas. Da gusto estar en esa terraza fuera del bullicio del centro de Ella. Además está muy cerca caminando del Puente de los nueve arcos y del acceso al Little Adams Peak. La familia que lo lleva es encantadora. La habitación es muy espaciosa y la cama es enorme. Han sido cuatro días maravillosos :)

Cons:

Nada

Grote kamer met fantastisch uitzicht
Pros:

Erg mooi uitzicht vanaf het balkon voor de kamers op een heuvel met theeplantage en bos. Kan niet beter. Veel mooie vogels gespot. De kamer zelf was ook erg fijn. Ze hebben twee ruime kamers met zithoek. De ene badkamer was goed, de andere minder. Lekker ontbijt met lokale specialiteiten en elke dag anders. Het is iets meer dan 1 km lopen naar het centrum. Tuktuk kost 500 lkr enkele rit. Wandelpad naar Little Adams Peak en Nine Arch Brigde starten vlakbij.

Cons:

De familie waar je bij te gast bent is wat afstandelijk. Bijna geen contact mee gehad terwijl we er 4 nachten verbleven.
Moeilijk toegankelijk voor oudere mensen. Je moet vanaf de weg een heel steil hellinkje aflopen en daarna een betonnen trap af zonder leuningen.

Amazing stay, clean room and close to key attractions
Pros:

We stayed 3 nights at The Windy Nest and felt right at home. The room was clean, the mosquito net was a life-changer, and the place is surrounded by nature-far from the craziness and noise of the center, yet still within walking distance. It’s close to attractions like Little Adam’s Peak and the Nine Arches Bridge. Big thumbs up for the breakfast on the balcony with its amazing view! For the price, it’s definitely worth it!

Cons:

The Wi-Fi wasn’t working very well, but that’s also part of the experience-to fully disconnect and not be bothered by our phones.

Perfecto
Pros:

La casa está algo alejada del centro pero a cambio, nos despertamos con el sonido de los pájaros y una tranquilidad absoluta. La familia muy acogedora y nos hicieron una cena muy buena y a muy buen precio. Todo muy limpio, nuevo y con una habitación muy espaciosa. Genial.
Uno de los días un mono nos visitó por la mañana.
El desayuno es excepcional.

Cons:

Todo perfecto.
