Персонал классный, хозяин тоже, вроде как удобно, но нюанс в том что добираться неудобно и очень шумно ночью
Pros:

В целом прикольный экспириенс где то в джунглях в домике пожить

Cons:

Не понравились муравьи в постеле, лай собак всю ночь, обряды монахов с пением каких то мантр, без беруш было спать невозможно

Pros:

Wunderschöne Lage etwas außerhalb von Ella mit tollem Ausblick. Es ist sehr schön eingerichtet und alles geräumig und komfortabel. Das Frühstück bei einem sehr schönen Ausblick ist super. Der Host hatte gute Tipps und Ideen für Ausflüge in die Umgebung.

Cons:

Möglicherweise wäre ein Insektennetz überm Bett gut gewesen, wir hatten aber durch geschlossene Türen wenige Probleme damit.

Incredible views and amazing property !
Pros:

The room and views are absolutely incredible. The owner was very helpful. I wasn't very well for 2 days of our stay and he brought medicine and helped with anything we needed - Tuktuks, Food and water etc. Highly recommend staying here for a peaceful and beautiful view 5 minute tuktuk out of Ella town :)

Amazing villa
Pros:

It’s very authentic villa with very beautiful view from the hill and so testy breakfasts:) Amazing friendly and helpful hosts! thank you so much ☺️. You should walk to the hill for some time or go by tuktuk (not car) to reach the villa from the Ella centre. It was arranged for free to help us with the luggage when we came and when we left. I could hardly sleep because of the sounds: a lot of birds were singing or chirping, squirrels were playing on the roof, there were some sounds from the Buddhist temple 5-5:30 am every night - but all of these things were incredible anyway. Already missing 🥹

Cons:

I was happy to be there, just some small changes: I would add a bed sheet as a cover, for me fleece blanket is not enough. Also some furniture is needed to keep clothes for long staying, may be some shelves and hangers

Pros:

Cette maison est vraiment en pleine nature. C'est la plus belle vue que l'on eu de notre séjour, ce qui impose une montée en tuk tuk obligatoire pour des valises (pas d'accès voiture). Le chemin peut se faire à pieds également.
Idéal pour une famille de 4. Pas besoin de climatisation, il faut bon la nuit à Ella. La terrasse est top et le petit déjeuner copieux et agréable.

Cons:

La salle de bain mériterait d être revue pour plus de confort.
Il faut savoir qu il y a du bruit la nuit avec le trafic de la vallée et les prières des temples, les boules quies sont appréciables.

Pros:

Fantastische Häuschen mit tollem Blick und sehr netter und hilfsbereiter Gastfamilie. Alles sauber. Etwas abseits, aber mit dem Tuk Tuk kein Problem, man ist schnell in der Stadt, die abends sehr voll und laut ist. Ich war froh, dass wir in unserem Häuschen unsere Ruhe hatten. Haben uns sicher gefühlt. Frühstück war lecker. Danke!
