“Amazing relaxing stay, would recommend. Super kind hosts”
+By far our favourite home stay in Sri Lanka. There was a real sense of calm staying here we felt like we were away from noise and was very nice. Our room over looked the beautiful fields and had a balcony area was really nice. The hosts were so kind and welcoming throughout our stay. Upon arrival they brought us tea and biscuits, they made us a beautiful Sri Lankan dinner and breakfast and even packed us sandwiches in the breakfast that we took on our day of the pekoe trail as well as lovely fruit. Would recommend this place to anyone wish we could have stayed longer.

+A wonderful hidden gem we discovered during our road trip in Sri Lanka. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home, wrapped in the warm hospitality of Mr. Devaka and his lovely family. They welcomed us with genuine care, preparing delicious breakfasts and dinners using fresh products from their own garden, and even taking time to sit with us on the terrace, sharing stories about their beautiful country and the magical places to explore around Ella Breeze Homestay. The homestay is simple, but it has everything you need. From washing machine service (super appreciated), to hot water and hairdryer. No AC was available in our room, but was also not necessary. I’d recommend it to anyone looking to escape the rush of a destination (Ella) that has, sadly, become a little too touristy, preferring a place of peace and serenity, that we’ll never forget and that makes this travel truly unforgettable.

“Authentic place, beautiful views & calm”
+For our group of six occupying three rooms, this was a wonderful place we truly enjoyed. It’s located outside Ella, but the 6 km walk along the railway is easy and filled with great views; the train ride is also a memorable experience and highly recommended. The accommodation feels authentic, with beautiful vistas and the gentle sounds of nature and local life. The host and his family are extremely friendly and helpful; we always felt safe and welcome. The owner even took us to a nearby tea factory for a fantastic private tour. Breakfast was a typical local meal; we apologise again to the host for not fully appreciating it. We highly recommend booking this place - every morning here is magical! 😊
−For three rooms we had one electric kettle and no crockery at all (cup, small plate, cutlery). Each time we needed something, we had to ask for it, which was neither practical nor pleasant; without this, you can’t even make a coffee or tea. The Wi‑Fi connection is very weak - more a limitation of the location than the owner, but it’s useful to know in advance.

“Best homestay of our time in Sri Lanka!”
+We really enjoyed our time in Ella Breeze Homestay! Devaka and his family made such an impact on our trip, we even decided to stay another night here. The dinner was amazing, nothing was ever a problem and we found Devaka so helpful. The room was clean and tidy, the homestay is about 15 mins from Ella town which made our stay more peaceful. It was great value and we throughly enjoyed our conversations and laughs with Devaka!

+The apartment is located in a beautiful location, just one train station from Ella. It's a great base for hiking. The host is incredibly kind and helpful, offering plenty of suggestions for exploring the surrounding area, depending on your needs. The room was very clean and well-maintained, with a beautiful view of the forest. The food served by the hosts is delicious. Highly recommend!

“Elige este lugar”
+Te recomiendo encarecidamente elegir este alojamiento para tu estancia en Ella. Mi consejo es pasar al menos dos noches aquí. Si tienes idea de hacer el trekking de Ella's rock, hazlo desde el alojamiento, es más corto, con menos desnivel y recorres un bosque selvático de eucaliptos brutal, también pasarás por un monasterio (zona muy inspiradora para el crecimiento personal). El dueño del alojamiento te indicará el camino a la perfección. Nosotros no pensábamos hacerlo a pesar de que somos montañeros por tiempo de viaje y gracias a sus indicaciones, nos encajó. Ella es un lugar fantástico para tomar algo por ahí (establecimientos muy chulos que no querrás dejar de probar, tienditas estupendas también) por eso, pasa al menos dos noches. Little Adam's Peak+Nine Arch Bridge, un must para otro día. El dueño del alojamiento también te indicará un camino de tan solo 1h en coche para llegar desde aquí a Diyaluma waterfalls. Otro must y mejor zona de baño de agua dulce del país. Con estas indicaciones también ganarás tiempo. Respecto al alojamiento, la cama es muy cómoda, el desayuno y otras sorpresas riquísimas y completas nutricionalmente hablando. La mejor ducha con agua caliente de la
−Todo perfecto!!!

“Fantastisk sted! Kan varmt anbefale dette sted til alle🌟”
+Min kæreste og jeg havde et fantastisk ophold på Ella Breeze Homestay! Familien som bor her er rigtig venlige og især manden i huset er utrolig sød og hjælpsom. Vi tog på en guidet tur i teplantagerne og på tefabrikken med ham som vores guide, hvilket vi virkeligt kan anbefale, fordi det var en rigtig god og spændende oplevelse! Hver dag fik vi rigtig gode anbefalinger til, hvordan vi skulle planlægge vores dag med forskellige aktiviteter og trekking ruter i nærområdet. Vi fik et fantastisk ophold i Ella provinsen / Heel Oya på grund af ham. Stedet er utroligt hyggeligt med den smukkeste udsigt over til Ella’s Rock. Værelset var perfekt - meget rummeligt og rent. Stedet ligger også lige ved togstationen, så rigtig nemt at komme derhen. Jeg vil klart anbefale at bo her i stedet for inde i Ella by, da dette er et tusind gange mere charmerende og autentisk sted! ❤️
