This place is incredible :) our best accomodation in Sri Lanka. View is spectacular, we can see Ravana waterfall from bed. Room is very clean, cosy, owners thought about everything: hot shower, fridge, cool glasses and water, shampoo and shower gel, we can use even hairdryer here! Tasty, local breakfast, juices, coffee. Very kind and helpful owners, we felt very comfortable and spent fantastic time here. Highly recommend! Thank you for having us 🌸

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.

First and foremost, this property's location is just outstanding. felt like I was in my own private oasis, nestled among lush greenery with great mountains views. The tranquil settings provided the ideal setting for relaxation and unwinding from the stresses of daily life.

Peaceful place. I enjoyed very much watching birds from the balcony. During our 7 days stay, I saw giant squirrels, grey hornbill, Sri Lanka white-eyes, eagles, chipmunks and of course monkeys:) Having lunch and dinner(5 to 7 dollars per person, omakase concept, cooked with fresh and seasonal food, more expensive if you opt for meat dishes) on the balcony was also such a pleasure. Home cooked food was not just fresh and tasty, but also very generous(compared to nearby restaurants). Meal also came with complimentary salads, a bottle of water, fresh fruits and cinnamon teas. Should have stayed longer.

The room is spacious and clean with a really comfortable bed. The hosts are a lovely family that really take care of all your needs. Also the location is perfect, near all the nice restaurants and far enough to not be in the middle of all the noise.

The owner, Asanka, met us on the road and took us to the hotel. At that moment, there was a power cut in the area and Asanka did everything to make our evening wonderful - he lit candles so that there was light, prepared tea for us and treated us to a pie. He really wanted us to be comfortable, it's very nice! Soon the electricity returned. the rooms were clean, nice neat bed, clean bathroom, shower with hot water! Each room had bottled drinking water. In the morning you can see an amazing view from the balcony - you can see the mountains, the waterfall, on the other hand you can look at the train (they don't run at night, so we slept great). There were no mosquitoes and flies! We also had a wonderful breakfast in the morning! There was tea, milk, scrambled eggs, toast with butter and jam, and a wide variety of fruits. Thank you Asanka for your concern!

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.

Really great location just up from the high street in quiet area. Pleasant terrace outside room with place to relax. Good hot shower with good pressure. Large bed and friendly host who offered lots of travel advice. No aircon in room, but air cooler in room was sufficient

nice host surely there would be a charming view, unfortunately there was heavy fog during our stay you could hear music and parties in the city center but it was quiet in the hotel :))
