Incredible view and delicious breakfast. Slightly out of Ella town which we preferred and an easy tuk tuk up the hill if you do head into town

The hosts are the most lovely people ever. They truly care about their guests and even prepared breakfast for us to go at 5.30am. The house is a bit out of town but the walk there in the evening is magical, surrounded by fireflies and nature you can walk down the street in easy 20min from town. Highly recommend :)

The location is beautiful, it has a very romantic vibe to it. The way they have built the wooden cabin is so aesthetic and well planned. The hosts were super helpful and the breakfast was amazing

We had a wonderful stay at Breeze Blows Inn Guesthouse. The rooms were spacious, beautifully maintained, and ideal for families. Each of our children had their own bed, which gave everyone some much-needed privacy and comfort after a long journey — a real plus! The location is excellent — just a couple of minutes short walk from the center of Ella, so it’s easy to explore the town. There’s also a great outdoor area with a large terrace, comfortable chairs, and a relaxing hammock — perfect for unwinding after a day of travel or sightseeing. Most of all, we truly appreciated the warm welcome and kindness of the guesthouse owner. His hospitality made us feel right at home and really added to the experience. We highly recommend Breeze Blows Inn Guesthouse to anyone visiting Ella!

Staying at this accommodation was the best decision we have made!!! We were welcomed by the most beautiful family, after a long journey. We were able to park our tuk tuk under CCTV which made us feel reassured. We booked all 3 rooms, and they were all incredible. The accommodation was extremely clean, and the rooms are all attached to a balcony with a view of the mountains and lots of birds. The rooms have hot water and REAL beds with REAL pillows and a duvet. No AC needed, the area is nice and cool. We took a tour of the family's rice fields and vetegable garden. The highlight of this accommodation is the food that the family prepares for you. We have been in Sri Lanka for almost a year, and this was by far the best food we have had! The breakfast is included and is huge and varied. They provide many different options including fruits, hoppers, juices, teas, coffees, dahl, sambol, pancakes, rotis, avocado and so much more! We decided to order dinner through the accommodation as well. Each dinner has about 10 different dishes and you are able to make requests if needed. We had all sorts of incredible food like jackfruit curry, fish curry, chicken curry, noodles, rice, eggs, papadom, and everything else you could think of! (And beers) All in all, our stay here was absolutely incredible and it was the highlight of our trip. We can highly recommend!!

Superb experience ! We highly recommend this accommodation. The location is ideal (surely one of the best views of Ella), the facility is modern, clean, practical and well furnished. Everything is done to make you feel at home. More than just a place to stay, it is also the opportunity to meet incredible hosts. Our three hosts have always been kind, thoughtful, interested in knowing more about us, and willing to share their experience / recommandations of Sri Lanka. The service level is a 10/10 ! In addition, pet lovers will also have the opportunity to meet two adorable dogs, always happy to greet visitors. Not a problem though if your are less inclined to meet dogs as they do not share the same area of the house.

We stayed 4 Nights at Bliss Homestay and absolutely enjoyed it. The room and bathroom is simple, yet the beds were super comfortable. Our Highlight was the Food, that Niranjala prepared freshly every day. The breakfast was so delicious, so was the Dinner with plenty of different Sri lankian Currys. We also had a cooking class at Niranjalas kitchen, which we highly recommend. Everyone at this Place was really friendly, welcoming and helpful. Thanks for this lovely experience ♥️
