“The stay was fantastic - nice location, good breakfast, very helpful owner.”
+The owner is so helpful and kind, we appreciate a lot their hospitality. The location is great, as it is very calm and has amazing view, 30 minutes of walking from the city center of Ella.
−It is on the eastern side so the sunlight in the morning is very strong.

“Not great value ☹️”
+Location is good … not far from the Ella town… keep away from crowned. The room is clean. And hot shower water is a plus.
−The room is kinda small. Would be better if there are more furniture to put your things on and at least you have somewhere to hang your clothes. Now only a tiny table …. I have to put my stuff on the floor. And there is only a blanket to cover for sleeping… to be honest it is a bit smelly , I don’t think it has been washed after the previous customer left.

+Very welcoming and helpful owners, we received many tips regarding the area and some help with renting a scooter. The room was cozy and clean, we had a hot water in the shower. Delicious breakfast with a pretty view.

+“Perfect Stay Surrounded by Nature” We had an incredible experience at this homestay! The location is ideal - far enough from the noise of Ella town to enjoy peace and quiet, yet surrounded by beautiful, lush nature. The food was absolutely amazing! Both breakfast and dinner were the best meals we had during our time in Ella - so delicious and authentically Sri Lankan. The rooms were clean and very comfortable. Every morning, we woke up to a breathtaking sunrise right from our bed - such a magical start to the day. Most importantly, the hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming. They made us feel completely at home and went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for peace, nature, and genuine hospitality!

+We had a great time at aura view Homestay! The room is nice and clean with a great view over the valley. Pabasara and her family were very friendly and welcoming! We had breakfast and dinner there, both were delicious; we also took a cooking class with Pabasara where she showed us how to cook dal, pumpkin curry and fried vegetables. All in all one of the best accommodations of our trip so far!
