“Ella Panorama Villa”
+We arrived in the dark & loved sitting outside on the deck listening to the night life in the trees just after sunset. Very spacious & comfortable room. Friendly & kind staff, actually we felt very spoiled! And, as we were leaving the next morning, I'm so glad they encouraged us to walk up to the 9 arch bridge, we arrived just in time to see the train go over the bridge!
−I'm sure the road up there is fine in daylight but it was a little tricky in the dark, very narrow.

+This hotel is very difficult to get to. My driver would not go down the steep winding road 14 minutes from town of Ella.
−Booking stated property was .7 miles from center of town, but in fact it was 14 minute drive from Ella.

“Lovely homestay style experience with great hosts. Stunning views. Highly recommendable.”
+The owners were so helpful and really lovely. True Sri Lanka hospitality. Photos were different to the property we were given but it was a very large property and did the trick. Location really near 9 arch bridge. Would definitely recommend this place especially those that want more of a home stay experience. Lovely ☺️
−Property photos were different. Photos showed a more modern property which I think was the one above. Our property was more dated but fine.

“Prachtige locatie”
+Mooie rustige locatie, prachtig uitzicht. Ruime en schone kamer, badkamer en balkon. Lekker ontbijt. Buiten de drukte van Ella, op loopafstand van de beroemde brug en Little Adams Peak.

+The most amazing hosts ever. Heart-warming breakfast. Just incredible people. Our appartment was really beautiful (better than the pictures might suggest). It lacked some furniture and storage space, but the owners told us they were about the complete the furnishing. A bit remote from town (10 min tuktuk), but in walking distance from the 9 arch bridge and really quiet with a really nice view. I can highly recommend this place for everybody that does not mind living a bit outside the noisy center of ella.

“Super !”
+We hadden een geweldig uitzicht met een mooi balkon. De kamers waren groot en schoon. Maar vooral de host en zijn familie waren geweldig. Erg vriendelijk, behulpzaam. We hadden 2 kamers voor in totaal 5 personen. Aangezien we graag samen wilden ontbijten op het balkon werd er meteen een grotere tafel neergezet op een vd kamers. Ook konden we s avonds tegen een kleine vergoeding opgehaald worden uit het dorp door de host.
−Het ligt erg ver uit het dorp,dus je moet met een taxi of tuktuk de berg op en af. Er wordt niet automatisch schoongemaakt iedere dag. Maar waarschijnlijk wel als je het vraagt
