I had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back!
Pros:

Comfortable bed and really lovely view. Great balcony. Nice touches with the water provided in the room and the fan.

Cons:

Not fun to walk up the steep hill - but hard to avoid this in Ella

Pros:

Das Frühstück war wirklich der absolute Hammer. Bei der Auswahl lohnt es sich überhaupt nicht woanders hinzugehen. ☺️
Die Lage war wirklich super: es ist ruhig gelegen auf einem Hügel, aber man ist trotzdem schnell in der belebten Gegend.
Der Wäscheservice war super und man konnte direkt in der Unterkunft einen Roller mieten.

Cons:

Die Badezimmertür ist sehr verzogen und lässt sich nicht schließen. :)

Man sollte wissen, dass man eine relativ steile Straße zur Unterkunft hochlaufen muss. Aber alles machbar.

Sehr empfehlenswert!
Pros:

Die Unterkunft ist super gelegen. Die Nine Arches Bridge ist in ca. 20min zu Fuss erreichbar, der Little Adams Peak in ca. 30min und die Zugstation von Ella in ca. 15min. Die Gastgeber sind enorm herzlich und jederzeit erreichbar. Zusätzlich hat uns das leckere Frühstück, welches man auf seiner Terrasse geniessen kann, sehr gefallen!

Aanrader! Alles dichtbij, comfortabel en heel vriendelijk!
Pros:

Comfortabel, hygiënisch verblijf en behulpzame en ‘warme’ familie. Ze hebben goede transfers geregeld en het ontbijt was fantastisch. De ligging is erg centraal (hierdoor heb je wel ook wat geluid van de stad) en het balkon is ruim met privacy.
Kortom een aanrader!

Cons:

In de omgeving zijn er, ook heel vroeg, behoorlijk wat geluiden: moskee om 5:15 uur, honden en een dichtbij gelegen bouwplaats.

Pros:

The staff were friendly and responsive when asked for help. The view of the Ella Rock was fabulous. There were good facilities from fridge, kettle and cloth hanger. The room was spacious and clean. The location was close to the city center, although it was on a hill and little steady to go up walking.

Cons:

There was no hot water for shower and the water pressure was low. Also, there was a constant unpleasant smell in the room, not sure due to what. I stayed in the first floor room.

Pros:

Camera pulita, colazione abbondante e staff molto gentile.
Presenti zanzariere attorno ad ogni letto

Cons:

Adiacente alla struttura c’è un cantiere e tengono un povero cane legato con catena tutto il giorno, abbiamo purtroppo sentito abbaiare a tutte le ore.

Pros:

Neu eingerichtetes Zimmer mit wunderschöner Aussicht vom Balkon, alles sauber und gut ausgestattet. Sehr nette Besitzer.

Cons:

Überall drumherum wird gerade gebaut, deshalb kann es zu Baulärm kommen. Auch lautes Hundebellen gab es früh morgens von einem Wachhund auf der Baustelle.

Well worth the walk up the hill !!!
Pros:

The room we stayed in was on the top and only a few months old. It is absolutely beautiful with 4 posted beds covered with quality mossie nets. The balcony is to die for and huge. It has a large dining table and chairs and a couple of wooden lounging chairs. It has expansive views over the valley and you can spot the train in the distance. Very quiet place.
The hosts are amazing and so helpful arranging tours and washing of clothes.
The breakfast is huge and delicious. By far exceeds other accomodation for similar money.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Great location, nice room & big balcony, doors and sink need fixing
Pros:

- location is great, 5 minutes to the main road, close/walkable distance to Little Adam’s Peak & Nine Arches Bridge. We also hiked to Ella Rock from the homestay
- big balcony with a view on Ella Rock (blocked by a coconut tree but didn’t bother us)
- comfortable bed with mosquito net
- hot water shower

Cons:

- our front door was broken and only secured with a small lock
- the bathroom door was also broken and couldn’t be closed
- the sink tap was leaking

If these things get fixed, the room would be perfect.
