Pros:

Absolutamente todo, pero sobretodo lo que nos ayudó está familia durante la estancia, nos bajó a la calle principal sin problema en su tuktuk, nos alojamos dos noches y la primera no desayuné nada porque estaba demasiado llena se preocupan y te preguntan si todo está bien y si pueden hacer algo para que estés más cómodo. Geniales un 10 de familia

Cons:

Todo estuvo genial

Pros:

The view was absolutely stunning, totally immersed in nature. The staff was really friendly and the host has also a Tuk Tuk, and it took us to the center and the temple at a very reasonable price. Exceptional breakfast.

Nette, hoger gelegen homestay met prachtig zicht
Pros:

We kregen een heel lekker ontbijt met veel fruit & pannenkoeken, gereserveerd op het terras met een fenomenaal zicht. De kinderen waren heel blij met het tweede verdiep (dat ze meteen ook inpalmden) en hun privéterras met zitzakken daar. Het gezin doet er alles aan om je zo veel mogelijk in de watten te leggen. Ze brengen je op vraag ook met plezier overal heen.

Lovely family homestay
Pros:

Lovely homestay with a lovely family. Tuk tuk rides to and from Ella were super helpful, at a good price and available any time. Breakfast on the private balcony was brilliant. Beautiful setting and views

Cons:

May benefit from aircon in hotter temperatures but the fan was enough to keep us comfortable.

A beautiful night and incredible sunrise
Pros:

The staff has waited for us because of our late arrival and hard a special attention. We were quite embarrassed of so much kindness ! View was wonderful at night but amazing when we woke up. Breakfast was perfect . Site was a bit difficult to access but no worries as they have a tuktuk taking your luggage for the last meters and can carry you to a nice restaurant Cinnamon View close to here. Thank you for everythîng Serene Homestay !

Lovely welcoming family, gorgeous views and incredible breakfast
Pros:

Inusha’s family are very sweet and welcoming and the views from the balcony are fantastic.
We appreciate a good breakfast and we were amazed at the spread we were given each morning.

The Homestay is a short walk to the local train station and it’s about 3km walk (downhill or flat via train tracks) to the centre of Ella.
Also easy to reach Ella Rock from the Homestay.

We had a fantastic time and will definitely be back when we return to Sri Lanka

Pros:

We stayed in the new superior 2 bedroom chalet. It is an amazing space and perfect for our family of 2 adults and  2 teenagers. The views are beautiful, especially from the balcony. The warmth and generosity from the host family was what made the stay so special. Don't miss out on a home cooked dinner while you're there! Highly recommend.

Perfekte Unterkunft für unseren unvergesslichen Urlaub! Wenn sich Urlaub wie Heimat anfühlt!
Pros:

Alle unsere Erwartungen an die Unterkunft wurden übertroffen. Wir fühlten uns durch die Wärme und Hilfsbereitschaft der Gastgeber wie zu Hause. Uns wurde jeder Wunsch von den Lippen abgelesen, zudem war das Frühstück & der Ausblick traumhaft. Das Appartement ist zudem ideal ausgestattet, es hat uns bei weitem an nichts gefehlt - und wenn es so gewesen wäre, hätten es die Gastgeber sicherlich für uns organisiert. Serene Homestay ist der perfekte Ort für den Urlaub in Ella. Wir kommen definitiv wieder!

Exceptionnel !
Pros:

Nous avons passé trois nuits dans cet établissement et tout était parfait ! La vue est magnifique, la cabane est très confortable et le petit-déjeuner est exceptionnel. Différent chaque matin, il est toujours copieux, varié et délicieux.

Les hôtes sont d'une gentillesse remarquable : très accueillants, disponibles, attentionnés et très serviables. Leur bienveillance a largement contribué à rendre notre séjour encore plus agréable.

Nous recommandons vivement cet établissement et y reviendrions avec grand plaisir.
