“View, spacious room and excellent breakfast and very friendly owner, I recommend”
+The property has an incredible view of the mountains, from afar you can see a waterfall. The room is very large with everything you need, even a hairdryer. The breakfast is delicious and plentiful.
−Great location if you love the view and don't want to be in the city. The property is 5 min from the centre and to get there there is a downhill slope of about ten metres, so not very comfortable but Ella is all that.

“Disappointing”
+The view at this property is lovely. All properties in the Kathal Ella area have this view as it is high up in relation to the town centre. The accommodation owner was kind enough to arrange two transfers for us prior to our arrival. The driver he recommended, Chamil, is a very reliable, professional and intelligent person to ride with.
−Almost everything apart from the view and the driver. The accommodation is very basic and dank. The family don’t live there, so you are basically in a self-contained room on your own. There is no aircon to take some of the dampness out of the room - all of our clothes became damp after 3 days here. There is a clothes rack, but no hangers. There is no shared kitchen, nor is there a washing machine or a dryer. There is no daily housekeeping: we were there for 3 days and the room wasn’t cleaned once. Our experience of breakfast was not good. We went there with high expectations given the reviews, but left really disappointed. The food was salty on the first day and when we politely tried to ask for a little less salt, the owner decided to serve us up a dish of boiled vegetables the following day - as though we were ill. Yum!!! I don’t drink tea or coffee, but I was never offered an alternative, such as fruit juice (as seen in pictures) and not even water! We never tasted a hopper of any description here. Very disappointing. Lastly, the family are hardly ever there, so I can’t even say that they were friendly. They just gave us a little food in the mornings, locked up and disappeared.

“Loved it!”
+Very kind people taking care of their guests, super tasty breakfasts, haidryer <3, very clean and nice barhroom, nice view (we saw some monkeys and porcupines from our terrace)
−Little far from center - very steep way, but we krew it before booking so wasn’t a problem. And for the nice views you HAVE to be in upper location in Ella. But there is a shortcut to the center if you go on foot;)

“Friendly Host and Delicious Home-Cooked Food”
+We spent two nights here and really enjoyed it. The location has a nice view of Ella Rock, which made the stay extra special. The room was clean and comfortable, and the host was very friendly and welcoming. We especially appreciated the meals - both breakfast and dinner were cooked for us, and everything was very tasty. The host was always willing to help with anything we needed, which made the stay feel warm and personal.
−The place is quite far from Ella town, which makes it hard to find a Tuk Tuk, and pick me don’t usually come out here. Also, there’s no air conditioning, which can be uncomfortable during hotter times.

“Ella center is horrible, but if you escape by one or two kilometers, it become wonderful.”
+Everything was perfect. The spot is very clean, the View is amasing. The bed is very comfortable, we did not want to left. As Ella center is noisy, polluted, here you have fresh air and calm. A few restaurants at 200m, and you can reach Ella center by foot in 20 minutes. The owner arrange everything, like trip to falls and tea plantation for a very good price. Do not hesitate, this place is what you want.

+Wir hatten eine angenehme Zeit in dieser Unterkunft, besonders gefallen hat uns der Ausblick von der Terrasse beim Frühstück. Die Einrichtung der Unterkunft war sehr gut, mit einem modernen Bad und sogar einem Kühlschrank mit Gefrierfach für Eiswürfel. Auch der Host war stehts hilfsbereit und konnte uns sogar einen Roller vermitteln.
−Das Moskitonetz über dem Bett hatte leider einen unangenehmen Geruch, wir sind aber auch gut ohne dieses zu nutzen ausgekommen.
