+Thank you Nalin for this amazing stay! We felt warmly welcomed, got all the information we needed to enjoy our time in Ella and the food was extraordinary! Also the location is perfect to discover everything by foot. We hope to come back again.

“Comfy peaceful hotel and great host!”
+Nalin was the best! Such a great helpful host, would take me into town and pick me up, full of recommendations for my stay and always made sure I was happy and comfortable :) such a good comfortable nights sleep and loved being in the peace and quiet with only a 10 min short walk/2 min ride to the Main Street. :)

“Best hotel in Ella. Great price for value. Amazing service”
+The surroundings and location are amazing. Close to the center but still in the nature, it’s great. It’s very clean. The owner is amazing, very welcoming and super professional. The food is the best we had in our Sri Lanka trip. It’s a must do if you’re in Ella

+Nalin really looked after us. The breakfast was awesome. The atmosphere is quiet, like being in a garden surrounded by nature and you can walk into town in 15 minutes. We loved it..

“Fair”
+The room is one of two, attached to the owners house. It is clean and compact. The bed was comfortable for me, and I slept well.
−I can not understand how this and other properties in Sri Lanka are getting such high reviews. Come on people lets help each other out and give honest representations. I was contacted by the owner for a time of arrival, and I informed him 3pm, to which he replied OK. On arrival at 3.10, the room was not ready, and we had to sit outside for 40 minutes while it was prepared. Then we were informed there was a problem with water pressure, and we could only shower with a dribble from the hand-held shower. The owner said the plumber would come at 6 pm. We then walked into Ella (20 mins) for dinner. On our return, the plumber had not been, and the owner said he would come at 7.30 in the morning and could we unlock our door! I told him this would NOT be happening. On top of this, there are gaps around the doors. The bathroom window is filthy, does not shut, and has no insect screen. Consequently, we ended up with a large number of mosquitoes in the room. Luckily, it had a net for the bed. The property is along a 300 metre concrete path, which ends abruptly, and the last 30 metres are down a steep, uneven rocky path of around 30 to 40% gradient. Yes, the owner is friendly, almost too friend

“You need to stay here …..”
+Everything !!! This was a real find and we would recommend it highly to anyone wanting a ‘get away from it all’ experience but then also be a 5 min Tuktuk ride from the hustle and bustle of Ella town. We were welcomed with a fab smoothy drink and it just carried on being fab! The owner can’t help enough - checking you have all the information, making suggestions and helping anyway he can. The bed has to be one of the best we have stayed in, coupled with a very clean and spacious room. The breakfast exceeded itself and it kept us going for the day. Thank you for looking after us , especially helping with my ‘cold’ symptoms and we would highly recommend this accommodation!!
