The first thing that strikes me is the jaw-dropping view in front of the guest house. The place in itself was nice with a homely atmosphere with super-friendly staff, especially the manager (think his name was Sanath). I checked in late in the afternoon which was well after lunchtime and they were super nice to offer me a fresh and tasty meal. I enjoyed this kind of hospitality throughout my 2 day-long stay. This was exactly the place I was looking for when I planned my visit to Ella.

Beautiful view directly from the room. Very nice staff especially Ravindu . The accommodation is 5-10 min away from the center, but there is never a problem with tuktuk. Great willingness on the part of the landlord. We were very satisfied, thank you

This is an amazing place in every way. First of all, the guys who work there are amazing, very helpful, great cooks, they take care of the place and the people. We arrived very late, around 9pm, and it was no problem for them and they cooked us dinner. In addition, this beautiful balcony with a wonderful view and the sounds of nature in the evening. We sat on the balcony until late in the evening. I highly recommend this place. I will definitely stay there when I am in Sri Lanka.

Hospitality of Akku and team is so good. They know how to take care of their guests. They brought cake for my daughter's birthday, cooked amazing breakfast and provided all the support whenever we requested them. The view from the room is simply outstanding. You get to see waterfall, train route and jungle. The room and washroom size was good. Overall best place to stay in Ella and good value for money.

we were flabbergasted by the view at ella gap from the rooftop. crew was amazingly helpful. they drove our tuktuk up to the guesthouse because we didn’t dare to drive the steep hill. hilltop is away from the busy and loud mainstreet. superquiet allthough 5 minutes from the centre. our host gave us the perfect advice to get around.
