“Great host and amazing views!”
+Everything was great! The host was really nice and helpful, her food was amazing, one of the best ones in Sri Lanka. We took a cooking class with her and even allowed our 3 friends that were staying somewhere else to join the class and stay for dinner. The coconut pancakes were my favourite! It’s at a beautiful spot, we a great view! The sunrise from the room is unreal. You need a tuktuk to move around Ella, and they provide the service at a better price. It’s a really quiet spot, and you can see a lot of animals from the balcony. The room is spacious, clean and comfortable, and has a big hot shower. Really recommend staying here if you’re in Ella.
−Everything was great!

“Wonderful place”
+The apartment has everything you need and the bed is very comfortable. The family makes you feel incredibly welcome. They are extremely friendly and help you in a relaxed, non-intrusive way, making your stay even more enjoyable and helping you discover all the highlights Ella has to offer. The breakfast is fantastic and different every day. You can also request dinner, which is of excellent quality. I would absolutely recommend staying here!

“My daughter & I had a great 2 night stay at the Bliss homestay & loved it”
+The Bliss Homestay was a peaceful stay. The owners were very hospitable offering many services like tours, tuk tuk rides, dinners (with many dishes) in addition to the fantastic breakfasts & lovely accomodation
−The only small downside was the distance away from the town but it was a short tuk, tuk ride away & was very peaceful

+This was by far one of our favourite places we stayed in Sri Lanka. The beds are comfortable, hot shower, we did a cooking class, dinners and breakfast were incredible with so much food. The whole family are so friendly and went out of their way to be accomodating. Its such a peaceful location, outside Ella town but we always had access to a tuktuk driver with very reasonable prices. Laundry service was also available and easily organised.
−We woke a few times to dogs barking but this is pretty common in Sri Lanka.

+Positive: Wonderful breakfast. A lovely owner and a great cook. She organizes and helps you perfectly and always for a very good price. The location is rural and a little way out of Ella (Ella rock is 30 minutes closer, as from Ella), so it is a very quite and wonderful place. If you want to have Ella-Party-Time it is the wrong place.
−Negative: Low water pressure in the shower. A slight musty smell in the room - but with this high humidity in the mountains it is normal.

+Die Unterkunft ist sehr sauber und gut gepflegt. Die Vermieterin ist unglaublich freundlich. Sie Unterkunft liegt etwas außerhalb von Ella, sodass es sehr ruhig ist. Man hat von der Veranda einen tollen Blick in den Dschungel. Frühstück und Abendessen waren immer super.

“Authentisch und unvergesslich”
+Tolles Erlebnis das man unbedingt mitnehmen sollte! Es war ein wirklich schöner Aufenthalt mit ganz besonderen Erlebnissen wie das Gemeinsame Kochen mit der Gastgeberin. Die Lage ist sehr nah an Ella und die Familien fährt einem jeder Zeit nach Ella runter und holt auch wieder ab. Also da dish kein Problem und schränkt auch nicht ein. Wäsche kann man auch waschen lassen und alles für wirklich faire Preise!
