Schöne Unterkunft am Berg
Pros:

Die Unterkunft ist super schön am Berg gelegen. Die Familie ist super nett und hilfsbereit! Das Frühstück ist klasse und man kann für ungefähr 3€ pro Person auch dort Abendessen anfragen.
Die Unterkunft ist etwas abseits aber der Vater holt einen gerne ab oder fährt einen in die Stadt. Durch viele Treppen als Abkürzung, kann man aber auch problemlos in die Stadt laufen.

A peaceful, beautiful guesthouse surrounded by nature and wildlife, with delicious breakfasts and incredibly welcoming h
Pros:

This was our favourite place we stayed in Sri Lanka. The road up to the property is a fun little adventure in a tuk tuk, and once you’re there, it’s incredibly peaceful. They have a beautiful garden where the owners grow their own tea, coffee, avocados (and many other things!), which we got to enjoy at breakfast.

We saw so much wildlife during our stay, including over 15 different bird species, otters, giant squirrels and deer! Sitting on the veranda was so peaceful and calming, we could sit there for hours. We looked forward to breakfast every morning, it was always delicious and varied.

The guesthouse is within walking distance of some good restaurants, or the owner was more than happy to drop us into Ella centre for a very reasonable rate. He would also happily pick us up whenever we called.

Highly recommend staying here, it was such a special place, and I’ll definitely be back!

Cons:

Nothing - all was perfect

Pros:

We had a wonderful 4-night stay at Mount'n Mist. The owner, his wife, and their children were exceptionally kind, welcoming, and always willing to help with anything we needed. They made us feel less like guests and more like part of the family.
What made this homestay truly special was that it was much more than just a place to sleep. Staying here gave us a genuine glimpse into the rural lifestyle of Ella and everyday life in the Sri Lankan hill country. We enjoyed learning about the local culture and traditions through our conversations with the family, which made our trip much richer and more memorable.
If you are looking for an authentic homestay experience with warm hospitality in a peaceful setting, I highly recommend Mount'n Mist.

Superb view and quiet
Pros:

Very nice view and quiet location.
The couple that take care of the place are lovely, kind and helpful.
Food was delicious.
Rooms were clean, decent size with terrace and private bathroom.
I saw many cute birds in the morning and you can also see the sunrise from here if you are lucky and there are no clouds.

Cons:

the access is a bit difficult since it's uphill on a narrow street, but it's worth it for the view.
it's ok if you have a tuk tuk or a scooter.

Pros:

Exceptionally location. The host treated me like family and helped me with everything. He took me everywhere in his tuk tuk to show me around. Food was delicious and fresh and authentic. Hot water through the day, comfortable beds with mosquito nets. Location is far from Ella City. Surrounded by nature and birds. Peaceful and quiet. If you're looking to relax and unwind, this is the place to go. As a solo female traveller, it was v v safe and hassle-free.

Cons:

The room didnt have a fan (family room). Day time could get slightly warm for those not used to it. It was Sept for me so pretty cool weather. No other issues.
