Guest Reviews
Beautiful stay run by the loveliest couple. Breakfast was an option between Sri Lankan and Western - we had Sri Lankan both mornings and tasted wonderful. Also was able to get a tasty Sri Lankan lunch on the day we arrived for a very small cost. Room was big and spacious, beds were comfy and had mosquito nets which helped. Provided towels, kettle, tea/coffee and a mini fridge in the room. View is fantastic, you can see the train go past in the distance during the day. For a budget stay, this is ideal!
Bathroom was a good size and clean but no ridge to stop the shower water from going everywhere on the floor, so can get a bit wet in there. They had Wi-fi but wasn't working while we were there.
En dehors d’Ella, au calme ! Ouf !
Un grand merci à Ovindu qui s’est super bien occupé de nous ! Merci à lui !
Todo genial, lo mejor el personal Ovindu. Muy atento y trabajador. Me consiguió hasta gasolina , que por estas zonas escasea.
The maintainer is really nice, offering great breakfasts and laundry service. You might find it a bit difficult to communicate in English, but it's ok. The location is great, especially if you don't mind walking to Ella or to take a taxi there.
The room was very nice and quiet with a beautiful view of the mountains, we have seen many birds, squirrels and also a mongoose.
The shower has hot water, there is also a little hair dryer.
There is a kettle, a mini fridge and two bottles of water were provided.
The owners were friendly and made us delicious breakfasts and dinners. My partner was sick one night and they did all they could to help him 🙏
super recommended 😊
Breakfast was amazing. Personnel also. Super nice and caring. We needed to have breakfast very early in the morning and they were willing to do so, serving us breakfast at 5:30am. Surrounded by beautiful nature and right next to the train station where we took the train to Kandy. Absolutely gorgeous.
No air conditioning in the room, also a tiny bathroom that wasn’t the best.
Was very clean and the owner was very helpful and accommodating.
Everything! Nicest owners you can imagine. Absolutely lovely people!
I booked the room the day before arriving. After a long, exhausting hiking day I had arrived and the host was nowhere. I called him, but he hardly spoke english and didn’t know I am coming. I couldn’t wait him, I spent that night in a different place.
The family was very friendly and welcoming. They prepared us delicious breakfasts. Very spacious room and beautiful calming view by the terrace
Cutest little two room building managed by a very nice old man. He gives tips about train schedules etc/ things to do. The dinner and breakfast are very tasty. Great location for the walk to Ella Rock, a little outside of main town, but that’s what you want anyway. Quiet mountainside.
Location was excellent 👍
Hospitality was great
The owners were so caring and made a lovely breakfast as customisation requested by us ...
Early morn view from there is unbeatable and having breakfast in midst of lovely garden with birds chirping is like paradise....
Tuktuk drivers loved to charge a lot to get here but it's a lovely walk into Ella along the tracks and only 25 mins. Peaceful location, hosts were amazing the food was incredible we had breakfast and dinner there. The room was great - only bad thing was a power outage for quite a few hours one evening but this is also pretty standard in srilanka .
