En fantastisch onderkomen in alle rust bij een heel lief gezin.
Pros:

De ligging is fantastisch.
Heerlijk rustig, buiten het drukke centrum.
Op loopafstand van de Nine arch Bridge en Little Adam’s peak.

De familie is allervriendelijkst, gastvrij en het ontbijt is echt super.
Dank voor alles lieve familie.

Pros:

I really like that clever and pretty girl. I told her no sugar, and she remembered. When I went out to visit, she gave me an umbrella to keep me from getting wet.

The breakfast, including cucumber, pineapple, papaya, banana, juice, sandwich, egg, butter and black tea, is exquisite and very carefully prepared. It is the first time I’ve had a sandwich with scrambled egg and tomato here, and the crusts have been cut off. The papaya juice is really pure, and no sugar was added. Moreover, the black tea is not in tea bags. It’s made from loose tea leaves, brewed and strained.

Cons:

There are no hangers.
The hairdryer is so weak. It looks like a toy. My clothes got wet in the rain, and no matter how I dried them with it, they just wouldn’t dry.

Pros:

Famiglia super ospitale e piena di amore
Le figlie sono timide ma estremamente gentili, colazione tipica servita fuori dalla stanza con vista nella giungla.
Camera pulita con tutti i confort, c'è il ventilatore
La pozione è a 2 km dal centro in zona piu tranquilla visto il caos di Ella a me personalmente è piaciuto molto anche perche gli spostamenti con tuk tuk sono rapidi e sempre disponibili a qualsiasi ora.
Ho davvero trovato un posto con una famiglia stupenda che merita un passaggio! Ve lo consiglio!

Enjoyed the train journey far more than the destination
Pros:

I liked that it was far away from the main area of Ella, which is just so busy and polluted with traffic and tourists... the ladies were extremely friendly and welcoming... and the fruits at breakfast were lovely... it was an easy walk down to nine arch bridge...

Cons:

I'm ok with cold showers and I don't mind the steep climbs... it was a good 25 minutes to walk into the main area of Ella but why would you.. Stay local and meet nicer people and enjoy better food.. Cafe Eden and Cafe Piranha have my vote.

Pros:

Очень приятные хозяйки, вежливые, гостеприимные. Был номер с отдельным входом и собственной ванной комнатой. Засели даже раньше положенного, так как мы приехали рано.
Каждый день разные завтраки, прекрасная атмосфера. Локация идеальна - в 200 метрах тропа до девятиарочного моста, идти минут 10.
Чуть дальше дорога к малому пику Адама.
Рядом с отелем бегает много белок, несколько раз видели обезьян. Очень тихо, красивый вид. Остались максимально положительные эмоции от проживания здесь

Wonderful homestay
Pros:

There are lots of nice homestays in Sri Lanka but this has been the greatest of all. Location is great, bit outside of busy Ella but close enough to walk if you don't mind the way. Location is best for nine arch bridge and Adams Peak. Also they can arrange a tuktuk to take you to Ella Rock trail. For the place itself you get your own room with private entrance and bathroom. Both were spotless clean bed was comfy. The best is you also get your own sitting place with a roof in front of the room with a view into the valley. We could just stayed sitting there the whole day. What is absolutely outstanding is the friendliness of the host family, all of them are amazing people and spoiled us with wonderful breakfast, take away when we went on an early hike and showed their garden plants. For us it was the perfect mix between privacy and exchanging and definitely worth a visit

A Peaceful Retreat in Ella – Highly Recommended!
Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at this homestay in Ella. It’s located outside the busy tourist and restaurant area, in a peaceful setting where you can truly relax. At the same time, if you enjoy walking, the town is still within reach. The best part? The iconic Nine Arches Bridge is just a few steps away, and you can even see it from the property!

The room was spotless, the bed was very comfortable, and I had warm water for showers. Fresh towels were also provided, which was a nice touch. The owners are incredibly kind and welcoming, always making sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. They genuinely care about their guests, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere.

The breakfast was another highlight—huge portions, delicious local flavors, and the freshest sweet fruits, all enjoyed with a stunning view. A lovely touch was the free pick-up from the train station on arrival and a drop-off at the bus station when I left. The owners also arranged a fair-priced transfer to a monastery and waterfalls, making my stay even more enjoyable. They also showed me around their tea plantation and prepare a delicious fair priced dinner for me upon mu arrival.

Overall, I highly recommend this homestay. It offers a perfect balance of tranquility and accessibility, with wonderful hosts who make you feel at home. A great place to experience the local way of life in Ella!

Cons:

There is absolutely nothing I didn’t like.
