+Had a fantastic stay here for 2 nights. Ajith was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. The room was spacious and comfortbale, its in a peaceful location and the breakfast was great. It's a little bit out from the main town which is fine as there is lots of peace and quiet.

+It was such a nice stay. The view is amazing and we slept so good. The breakfast was every morning a little bit different, but everytime delicious. The owner helps you with everything you want. You can do a easy sunrise hike to Ella rock! All in all would recommend and would go there again :)

“Not a good value for money (unsanitary place)”
+Owner is very kind, and his wife as well. They prepared a great breakfast for us to take away early morning.
−But this was from far our worst experience in Sri Lanka. When you enter the room, the place has a strong strong musty smell. The moldy smell was so strong that it even woke us up at night. Probably due to Ella’s humidity but they should really do something about it. Our clothes were smelling for days after we left, and we only stayed 2 days. We found a few cockroaches in the bedroom, on the mosquito net (inside) and on the floor. We are flexible travelers but there is noway to feel good and clean in that room (downstairs bedroom). Far away from the city. Accessibility isn’t so good, our driver didn’t want to go down the road, neither would some tuktuk (who were asking for 1500 roupies to go to the hotel, minimum, and with additional charge to go down the road). Most expensive Chicken & Rice Curry we had in Sri Lanka (even if very good). And was served cold. It was very kind to prepare this dinner, but you really need to give the price upfront to avoid any disappointment. Good thing is, we did a lot of things in Ella to avoid staying in that room, as much as possible !

“Exceptional”
+We had an amazing time in Ella Rock Glance! This place is located around 30 minutes from centre of Ella - you can reach it walking through railway. From the start of path on Ella Rock is around 10 minutes. Guesthouse is located in the jungle, with amazing view and cool feeling in the morning. We have a room upstairs, with cosy balcony. Room was enough for us, had a comfortable bed, couch, table and bathroom. Bathroom was simple as everywhere on Sri Lanka, but everything was very clean. Our host and his wife were very nice, polite and help us with everything. He could arrange a tuk-tuk driver for us. Breakfasts were excellent, with fresh fruits and good coffee. We regret that we couldnt spend there more time.

“Excellent stay well worth staying here.”
+Property is very well maintained in a good location with a great view from the balcony of our room. Breakfast is very nice and the owner Sjith is an exceptional host who is very friendly and will go above and beyond to ensure you have a great time in Ella. Tuk Tuks can be organised with Sjith to centre of Ella or else you can walk down the train tracks for a nicer walk. Ella rock viewpoint about 1 hour walk from homestay.

“Very good”
+The location is just outside Ella in a very quiet aria. The place has 2 guest's rooms and we reserved the two of them since we were 3 people. Both rooms have a beautiful large balcony facing the jungle where you can sit and enjoy the sound of the birds and the beautiful sights. The roo.s are nicely decorated with very comfortable beds and nice lighting. Adjit, the host is very friendly and helpful, and his wife cooks amazing breakfasts and dinners that you can it on the balcony.
−The lower room had a serious problem of mold. It was so bad that it was hard to bear, and we felt it was also unsafe . Adjit promised he would take care of this problem once we'll leave, he showed us that he bought mold remover and some fresh paint .

“A relaxed and cozy stay away from the main town”
+The quiet and comfy ambience away from the hustle and bustle of the Ella town. The host was super helpful too.
