“Peaceful”
+Loved staying here. Very peaceful to stay next to the monastery. The short walk along the train track to town was really scenic.

+Amazing location above the town (easy walking distance) and out of the noise, right next to the temple (don't worry, no drums banging at 5am). Absolutely stunning view. Clean, comfy, well taken care of with a couple of very sweet dogs.

“Amazing experience!”
+We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is perfect - very close to Ella town, but still peaceful and surrounded by beautiful nature. The monks were very friendly and welcoming, and our room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was absolutely amazing, and the view is truly spectacular! ⛰️ A lovely and unique experience in Ella, and we would definitely recommend it! 🤍
−We did occasionally have an issue with the water in the bathroom, but overall it didn’t affect our stay.

“Peaceful Homestay Just a 10-Minute Walk from Ella”
+Lovely people and such a special place! The mother of one of the monks took wonderful care of us together with a very young monk, and communication via WhatsApp with the monk who runs the place was always easy and smooth. We were warmly welcomed with tea, which was a lovely start to our stay. We stayed in the upstairs room, which was really nice and had a large bathroom. The terraces are wonderful places to sit, relax and enjoy the beautiful views. We were served delicious breakfast and lunch, and our kids absolutely loved all the dogs, especially the little puppy! We also visited the beautiful temple and received very kind and interesting explanations from the man working on the temple paintings - very impressive! It’s an easy and short walk into town along the railway tracks, and you can take a tuk-tuk back for around 500 rupees. We really enjoyed our three nights here and would definitely recommend this special place. Thank you for everything!
−The dogs are lovely, but there are quite a few of them, so this might be something to consider if you are afraid of dogs. There is also quite a lot of barking, and it can get a little noisy in the morning, especially in the downstairs rooms. One of the dogs even ate one of our shoes, so better keep your things inside your room! The whole place is truly beautiful and has so much potential. With a little more care and tidying up around the property, it could be even more charming and welcoming. Despite these little points, we were all very happy here and really enjoyed our three nights in this wonderful and unique homestay. It has a very special atmosphere and we’re very glad we stayed here. Thank you for everything!

+The location was great. I rented a scooter but I was also able to walk easily into town. The breakfast was delicious. I loved that I was able to join the puja at night. I loved my stay.

+Uno de los mejores lugares en los que he estado en Sri Lanka. Las vistas quitan el hipo!!! Ves pasar el tren desde tu habitación.... qué pasada!!! Meditar con el monje que lleva el lugar es bien recomendable y los desayunos son excelentes. Sí vuelvo alguna vez a Sri Lanka, volvería a este lugar.
−Todo maravilloso!!!!

+Die Unterkunft liegt oben auf einem Berg. Von der Terrasse hat man einen wunderschönen Ausblick zum Little Adams Peak. Das Zimmer war einfach aber zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Frühstück war total gut und liebevoll hergerichtet. Wir haben auch den Wäscheservice genutzt, was auch sehr gut war. Morgens hatten wir an der Zeremonie mit dem Mönch teilgenommen, was ein sehr schönes und besonderes Erlebnis war! In der Unterkunft leben ganz liebe Hunde. Zur Stadt runter ging es über die Bahngleise in ca 8-10 min, für den Heimweg im dunkeln hatten wir Taschenlampen dabei.
−Der Abfluss im Waschbecken des Badezimmers hat etwas gestunken aber das liegt wahrscheinlich an der Lage auf dem Berg oben. Wir hatten das bereitgestellte, gefilterte Wasser im Zimmer zum Gesicht waschen und Mund ausspülen dann genutzt.
