Pros:

The ladies who run the hotel are so friendly and hospitable, it's a real hime away from home. Breakfast is exceptional and our hosts insisted on providing us lunch one day as well, which was delicious and very generous. The hotel is an easy walk from the centre of Ella and is quiet and peaceful, with a beautiful garden and gorgeous views. It was a highlight of our trip to Sri Lanka

A lovely place to stay with kind host
Pros:

Room had fantastic view of Ella Rock. The owner, a big personality, and staff were very helpful all working as a team. On arrival we were welcomed with a snack of pancakes with banana and tea which was appreciated.

Cons:

There is a short walk into Ella, with no pavement and no lighting (but this is standard in most of Sri Lanka) and not unusual. Pack a torch or use your phone torch.

Luxurious hotel but too expensive. Good breakfasts with a great view of the mountains
Pros:

Very luxurious room was astounding views across the valley to the mountains on the other side

Cons:

Too expensive and a bit too far out of Ella - the walk is only 5 mins but the road is very busy

Schöne Anlage mit sehr freundlichem Personal
Pros:

Sehr nettes, freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal
Schöne und geräumige Zimmer mit tollem Ausblick auf die Berge
Schöne und gepflegte Anlage mit toller Frühstücksterrasse
Leckeres Frühstück
Gute Lage in Ella

Cons:

Der Weg zur Stadt führt an einer unbeleuchteten Straße entlang; die Stadt ist aber recht nah.
Unterkunft erreicht man über einige Treppen, für uns aber völlig in Ordnung.

Fantastisch! Top locatie en super staff!
Pros:

Wat een fantastisch hotel met ontzettend lieve mensen. Heerlijke kamer, geweldig uitgebreid ontbijt en op loopafstand van het gezellige Ella. De vriendelijke dames wilden graag een keer ‘a avonds voor ons koken. Dit was geweldig. Hier wil je verblijven als je Ella en omgeving wilt verkennen!

We had a nice stay
Pros:

Very friendly owner and stuff who took care of every little thing we needed. And we’re very generous. Room was very clean and specious. Overall it is a small hotel only 6 rooms with calm and familiar atmosphere. Great location

Cons:

A bit pricey for the facilities they offer.

Pros:

We stayed at Ravana Heights for two nights and appreciated the friendly chats with the owner, the lovely ladies who worked there, and the walkability to/from the town and train station. Our room was very large, clean, and had a nice view.

Cons:

Ravana Heights was our most expensive hotel during our two-week Sri Lanka holiday, and considering the higher price we expected a bit more from the property. For example, we had issues with wifi and thought the towels felt old and scratchy. It's the sort of place where you either hang out in your room or leave the property; the common areas were not the most welcoming. At a lower price point we would've been satisfied, but we had hoped for more.

Pros:

Badkamer, nieuw en functioneel

Cons:

De aangegeven hotelfacilliteiten waren niet aanwezig. Dit is een bed&breakfast GEEN hotel. De eigenaar hoort zichzelf graag oreren. Overig personeel lief en aandoenlijk maar volstrekt niet de hotelprijs waard. Voor dit bedrag had je veel betere hotels kunnen hebben. De site info is onjuist.

A comfortable hotel with wonderful staff but unfortunately it is very overpriced.
Pros:

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We were offered a pancake and tea when we arrived, which was lovely. The room was comfortable and had a fantastic view. We liked the fact that Ella was just a short walk away.

Cons:

We thought it was completely overpriced. Access with heavy bags is bot easy as there are quite a few steps up to it.

Jättebra och avkopplande
Pros:

Fantastisk frukost- jättemycket frukt, två ägg, en pannkaksrulle med söt kokos, toasts och kaffe eller te. Vi blev dessutom bjudna på hemlagad mat en kväll- fantastiskt gott! Eftermiddagste/kaffe med kaka erbjöds och personalen var så rara. Fin utsikt över Ella Peak. Lagom nära in till Ella (5 min att gå).

Cons:

Lite trafikstört, "stora" vägen går alldeles nedanför. Ta med pann/ficklampa så man ser och syns när man går hem på kvällarna.

Pros:

What an amazing hotel this was! The staff were very friendly, and attentive to every detail. They also offered us a full lunch meal from thailand cooked by the wife of the owner. Would definitely recommend this hotel in ella.
