Pros:

Cooking class was amazing- there were only 4 of us and the food was so delicious. Staff was very nice. The view from the room was top notch - we had big birds on the balcony every morning.

Cons:

Breakfast could be better. Location is a bit further from the city so the tuk tuks are quite expensive due to tuk tuk “mafia” - not the accommodations fault!

Pros:

Abbiamo apprezzato la posizione defilata della struttura, lontana dal caos della strada principale di Ella, in ogni caso il centro si raggiunge molto facilmente in tuk tuk. I ragazzi ci sono venuti a prendere dalla tappa precedente, ci hanno aiutati con gli spostamenti e ci hanno suggerito bene come gestire la giornata per visitare al meglio Ella. Bellissimo il corso di cucina che consigliamo di fare a tutti quelli che soggiornano qui

Pros:

Nice staff, the Cooking class was one of our Highlight! Highly recommended! The spice garden is beautiful and perfect to take a little walk. You can also buy spices of their garden what we directly did. The scenery is also really beautiful.

Cons:

Unfortunately there was bad smell in the bathroom - there was mold on the wall. It was okay with Windows open.

Quaint and peaceful abode
Pros:

Quaint homestead in the midst of a lovely spice garden. The access is steep and there are stairs to climb to the rooms, but the staff were very helpful and carried luggage up and down. The view from the room was very nice and the birdsong every morning and the fireflies and stars at night made sitting and chilling on the balcony an exceptional experience. The place is quiet and neat and the beds were comfortable. Roshan, the tuk-tuk driver arranged by the hosts, was very kind and punctual and provided pick up and drop services to Ella for lunch and dinner and to Demodara station to catch the Calypso king to travel over the nine arches railway bridge to Ella station.
Great place to unwind and explore Ella. Very helpful staff. Nice breakfast.

Cons:

The power went off for a whole night but this a problem with the entire grid in the area. There was no backup power but the rooms were cool and it didn't cause a problem.

スリランカ文化に触れる宿
Pros:

ロケーションは素晴らしく、朝一番にトゥクトゥクでナインブリッジまで行きました。また、スパイスガーデンツアーとクッキングクラスは、セナカさんの解説、指導が素晴らしく、大好きになったスリランカ料理の構造がよく分かり、その後に自分達で作ったカレーは、スリランカで食べた中でNo.1の美味しさでした!スタッフのラウルほか、みんな気持ちの良い方達で、本当に素晴らしい体験でした。

Cons:

ないです。

Pros:

La ubicación

Cons:

No me gustó que no limpiarán la habitación tras la 1 noche, y que hubiera bichos en el cabezal de madera que caían en la cama. Lo peor de todo es que al pagar, me manifestaron que no iba el datáfono lo que me obligó a pagar en metálico y volver a una casa de cambio, lo que supone pérdida de tiempo y de dinero.

The place is magical, in the middle of a big and very well maintained garden. We stayed for one night and also joined the cooking class, it was a wonderful experience, I could not recommend it enough - make sure you join it! The staff were very helpful and kind, they made the whole stay a great experience.
