Best stay in Sri Lanka
Pros:

Everything but especially the family who own this place. They couldn’t do enough to help us out, recommending things and just being so friendly. It was a highlight of our whole trip in Sri Lanka. Really quiet accommodation considering how close you are to the centre. Laundry services. Lovely outdoor seating area for all guests to relax. It is simple accommodation and just what we needed.

Cons:

Nothing - it was perfect. Be aware that there is currently a building site opposite so during the day it can be a little noisy but absolutely fine at night.

Pros:

Heerlijke verblijf bij liefdevolle en super aardige familie. Kamers liggen op de eerste verdieping. Familie woont zelf op de begane grond. Blossom Inn ligt op een heerlijke straatje net buiten de best wel drukke hoofdweg van Ella. In dit straatje ook heerlijke restaurantjes voor ontbijt/lunch of diner. Little Adam’s Peak en the Nine Arch Bridge op loopafstand. De eigenaar heeft ons met zijn tuktuk naar de watervallen gebracht om te zwemmen.

Pros:

The host and her family were really lovely.

Cons:

The room was stuffy, floor was dirty, full of mosquitos and we got bitten in the night when the power went out because we couldn't use the fan. They were also a bit difficult about payment, saying it was one price and then changing at the end of the stay, we paid a bit extra in the end and then when they didnt have change for my tuk tuk to the train they told my friend I didn't want to pay, but the issue was they didnt have change. So that was upsetting. It was a lot for what we paid overall. The pineapple juice we ordered was extremely watered down. They didnt offer extra toilet paper we had to ask each time, the toilet bin wasn't emptied daily so the bathroom smelt bad. I have stayed in much nicer places for less money in Sri Lanka. I didnt sleep well for 4 nights. It was disappointing because all the reviews say how comfortable the beds are.

Great location, Great hospitality
Pros:

Lovely stay at the Blossom Inn, just off the main strip and nearby Nine Arch and Little Adam’s Peak - the family are lovely and helpful, and can help you plan your days whilst staying in Ella. I stayed an extra night last minute and they sorted it for me with about 5 minutes notice, very grateful. I would book to stay here again.

Geweldige host, enorm warm onthaald, hygiënisch en comfortabel
Pros:

Lekker ontbijt en vooral super vriendelijke mensen! De vader bracht ons naar vele plaatsen zoals watervallen met zijn eigen tuktuk, aan een heel mooi prijsje. Dachten ook mee na over activiteiten in de buurt. Stonden meteen voor je klaar!

Cons:

Ze waren zo gedreven dat het eitje smorgens al koud was maar alles compenseerde dit ruim :)

Peaceful and convenient location and wonderful host.
Pros:

Incredibly kind host, just a short walk from the town centre but far enough away from the main road to be peaceful. Hot showers and decent bedside fan to keep you cool.

Cons:

Nothing.

Cute place to stay!
Pros:

The location was the best! Just a short walk of the busy street in Ella but in a nice and quiet street.

The room was nice and spacious for the three of us but more can fit easily. Also the communal area is very nice to relax.
The family that runs the hotel is so sweet. They gave us tips to do in the heat to cool down.

My son loved playing with the cats 😻

Nice place, but probably at the wrong time
Pros:

We stayed at Blossom Inn during our time in Ella and overall had a good experience. The room was very clean, as was the bathroom, and we appreciated the mosquito net over the bed and the fan — which was more than enough for Ella’s mild temperatures in May, sometimes even too much! The location is quite central, making it easy to walk to the Nine Arch Bridge, Little Adam’s Peak, and the town center. It’s also close to several restaurants, which was very convenient.

Cons:

We chose this guesthouse because we had heard that the family running it was very helpful and available to organize trips and transport. Unfortunately, we believe we arrived at the wrong time, as it was during the Vesak holidays, and Dimitri (the woman managing the place) was quite busy with the celebrations. For example, we had asked in the morning for help getting to some waterfalls, and she only responded at 10 PM — by then, the information was no longer useful.

They did give us a tuk-tuk ride once, but at a relatively high price compared to local standards, which was a bit disappointing given the expectations.

Another downside was the checkout policy: although the room was free and not rebooked, we were asked to vacate it by 11 AM, even though our airport taxi wasn’t scheduled until 7:30 PM. We could leave our backpacks there, but had no access to a bathroom or a place to rest during the whole day. This felt a bit inconsiderate — something that would likely be handled differently in Europe.

That said, the place is quiet, clean, and well-located, and it has potential for a great stay if visited at a less busy time.
