A great day, and the perfect way to experience Ella.
Pros:

It is a unique property - it really felt like we were staying in a tree house. The views are spectacular.

Cons:

There are lots of steps - totally fine for us, but more of a challenge for people with mobility issues.

Pros:

We had an absolutely wonderful stay there.. What truly made the experience exceptional was the host familly— every single person I encountered was incredibly kind, professional, and genuinely helpful. They created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made me feel right at home.
The cleanliness of the apartment was also outstanding. My room was spotless, well-maintained, and very comfortable, which made it easy to relax and fully enjoy my stay.
I highly recommend this place to anyone. I would definitely love to come back!

Pros:

Die Unterkunft ist aussergewöhnlich und findet man nicht überall. Alles ist sehr familiär und die Besitzer sind sehr freundlich, zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Wir waren mit unseren Kindern dort (6 und 4 Jahre) und alle haben es geliebt. Wir werden diesen tollen Aufenthalt nicht so schnell wieder vergessen.

Pros:

Das Zimmer war sehr sauber und schön eingerichtet und vorallem der Ausblick war traumhaft. Auch das Personal war zu jedem Zeitpunkt freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Unterkunft ist etwas von Ella abgelegen, mit dem Tuk Tuk aber innerhalb von 10-15 Minuten gut zu erreichen. Der Weg zu den Zimmern ist ein kleines Abendteuer da man viele kleine Treppenstufen nach unten muss. Wenn man aber fit ist und keine Probleme bei der Fortbewegung hat, sollte das gut machbar sein.

Cons:

Die Zimmer sind sehr hellhörig. Wir hatten leider Nachbarn die mitten in der Nacht heim gekommen sind und nicht wussten das wir neben an sind und sehr laut waren. Dafür kann die Unterkunft aber nichts.

Expérience de cabane de luxe dans la jungle
Pros:

Quel accueil et cabane dans la jungle incroyable. L’endroit est très calme et des toucans vous regardent dormir le matin depuis la terrasse. Toute la famille nous a accueilli avec tendresse et générosité. Le petit déjeuner est une merveille et le fils de la famille fait les allers retours en ville pour nous emmener en tuk-tuk. Un vrai rêve éveillé que je recommande !

Dit was een ‘once in a lifetime’ acomodatie in alle rust, in de natuur en uitkijkend over de rivier. Heerlijk vertoeven was het! De familie was waanzinnig en we ze zijn hen enorm dankbaar voor alles. Een dikke tip wat ons betreft!

Pros:

Das Zimmer war sehr komfortabel und sauber. Die Betten waren sehr bequem. Der Blick von der Terasse mit kleinem Pool war atemberaubend. Das Zimmer war ruhig. Man wohnt etwa 2km außerhalb des Trubels von Ella. Der Service und das Frühstück waren sehr gut.

A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Nature Absolutely Magical
Pros:

Staying at this natural jungle cottage was truly the highlight of our trip! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the views lush greenery, birdsong, and total peace. It felt like we were waking up inside a postcard every day.

The cottage itself was charming, clean, and beautifully integrated with the natural surroundings. We loved the wooden details, open air vibe, and how eco-conscious the place felt.

The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful organizing transport, serving delicious homemade breakfast, and always ready with a smile or a story. We felt like part of the family.

If you're looking for a place to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with nature, this is it. So glad we chose to stay here instead of a hotel in town. Would highly recommend!

Cons:

None

נאלצנו לעבור למקום אחר כדי לא לקלקל את הטיול שלנו באלה
Pros:

נוף מדהים, צוות ידידותי ורוצה לסייע

Cons:

בכדי להגיע לחדרים צריכים לרדת ( ולעלות כשרוצים להגיע לכביש) עשרות רבות של מדרגות דבר שלא מוזכר בתאור המקום. המקלחת היתה ללא מים חמים בכלל ועוצמת המים לא מספקת. החדר לא אטום לחרקים כך שמי שלא אוהב לשהות יחד עם חרקים יאלץ להתמודד איתם.

Incredible, memorable, special. We would come back in a heart beat.
Pros:

Beautiful location, and exactly what is shown in the photos. Huge expanse of lush tropical jungle looking out from the balcony. We had incredible breakfasts, and the hosts were amazing. They helped organise transport and were very kind and hospitable people.

Cons:

It would be good to have a lamp in the bedroom.
