Very good, amazing views, and a good breakfast too
Pros:

Good size room, fridge included, and a hot shower

Cons:

Slightly too far out of town, and a very steep climb up from the property to the road, however this wasn't an issue

The view is incredible!! You won’t want to leave the accommodation. The room is spacious and bright with the comfiest be
Pros:

Everything!! The room was bright and spacious. The bed was extremely comfortable. The view is outstanding. Dileepa is an attentive host and extremely helpful!

Cons:

Not suitable for people with mobility issues as you have to walk up and down a short steep hill to the property, but it is just the nature of the location of being on the side of the mountain.

Pros:

Le calme, la proximité avec la nature, le chant des oiseaux, loin de l'agitation d'Ella. La gentillesse et la disponibilité de Dileepa, toujours le sourire et les bons conseils. Logement spacieux et propre. Petit déjeuner délicieux et copieux. Une pépite.

Cons:

Les chauffeurs Pickme ne montent pas facilement mais Dileepa peut vous arranger un tuktuk.

Amazing
Pros:

Outstanding accomodation and our absolute favourite of our entire stay in Sri Lanka - super clean, extremely kind host, comfy bed and the view from our balcony (and the bed) was incredible!

Completely surrounded by jungle and beautiful mountain views, we saw monkeys, squirrels and lots of different birds straight from the balcony - it was like being in a nature documentary :)

The breakfast was also served on the balcony and was by far the best we had after travelling through Sri Lanka for 2 weeks!

Lots of different Sri Lankan specialties and all super tasty!

Pros:

Wir hatten das Glück die ersten Gäste der neu gebauten Unterkunft des Hotels zu sein. In der ersten Nacht hatten wir leider kein heißes Wasser aber der Gastgeber hat selbst abends noch um 23 Uhr einen Monteur kommen lassen, sodass am nächsten Tag alles funktionierte. Großen Respekt für diesen Einsatz.
Der Blick vom Balkon ist grandios.
Hatte auf meiner Sri Lanka Reise in diesem Zimmer die erholsamsten Nächte.

Cons:

Es ist vom Stadtzentrum etwas abgelegen. Aber mit Tuktuk gut zu erreichen.

Die beste Unterkunft in Ella!
Pros:

Der Gastgeber ist warscheinlich der beste in ganz Ella!
Super freundlich, kümmert sich um alles, hat meine Weizen Unverträglichkeit beim Frühstück berücksichtigt und immer mit Freude Weizenfreies Frühstück serviert.
Das Zimmer ist sehr schön, groß und Sauber!

Die lange ist sehr ruhig die meisten Zimmer haben eine Traumhafte Aussicht!
Klare Empfehlung für jeden ELLA Besucher der nicht mitten im Lauten Zentrum sein möchte.

Cons:

Alles super!

Gutes Preis-Leistungs Verhältnis
Pros:

Man hat einen tollen Blick über Ella und ist mitten in der Natur. Das Frühstück war reichhaltig & sehr lecker.

Es waren recht viele Krabbeltiere in der Unterkunft. Das hatte ich sonst nicht in Ella auch in der Natur.

Prive quality wise very good option in Ella
Pros:

We loved the host. He clearly runs this establishment with passion and wants to make sure you have the best time. The location is in Ella, where we had a hard time finding a property both price-quality wise. The house is near Ella Rock so very convenient. Short tuktuk ride to Ella town.
Delicious breakfast with fresh fruits and pancakes.
There is no airco at the property which we were scared about first but this was no issue at all as there is a fan and it’s relatively cold in Ella, so no need for airco.

Cons:

You need to take into account it is a home stay. Some points for improvement are the following:
- too short bed for tall people
- the blanket was open on both sides. We suggest using a closed duvet cover for improved hygiene.

Skøn, autentisk og meget behageligt ophold
Pros:

Enorm dejlig oplevelse! Værten var rigtig god at kommunikere med og fleksibel ift, vi blev forsinket pga toget, der var påvirket af cyklonen. Han stod klar med varm te og kage og en meget hjælpsom liste over ting man skulle opleve og anbefalelsesværdige steder i nærheden at spise og madlavningskursus.

Placeret perfekt i skøn natur - trukket tilbage fra byen så man kan nyde sin bog i ro og fred på terrassen, men tæt nok på, at man hurtigt kan komme ned til fest og ballade eller de mange ting at se i byen. Værelset var rent og pænt og bød på en rigtig dyne samt ekstra tæppe (nødvendigt det bliver køligt). Dejlig varmt vand i bruseren og wifien virkede godt.

Morgenmaden var virkelig skøn og bød på lækre lokale retter som han stod klar med på det ønskede tidspunkt.

Værten var så sød at arrangere taxa til sydkysten for os.

Cons:

Vær opmærksom på at der er en meget stejl bakke ned til huset og der kan være nogle dyr, der danser rundt oven på taget i løbet af natten.

Derudover luftede der en smule indelukket, da vi ankom.
