“Omg go to this place”
+This was by far the best place we stayed at in Sri Lanka! The view was absolutely incredible! We have never had such an amazing view from a hotel! 😍 The room was super clean, including the sheets, which can sometimes be a problem in Sri Lanka. The breakfast was also the best we have had during our trip. Wow! There was even to much food, it was great. They brought the breakfast out to our private outdoor table, so we could enjoy it while taking in the view. Absolutely amazing! The hosts were so kind and made sure we always had enough drinking water. They really made us feel welcome. We also loved that you can choose whether you want to sleep with a duvet or just a sheet!
−Loved it all

“Owner Saman went out of his way to accommodate every need we had. His wife, children and staff were very friendly. We”
+Location was central to Ella and a Nine Arches Bridge Jungle trail. Views to the two summits were breathtaking. Home cooked breakfast was fantastic, wholesome and more than we could eat.

“Stunning hidden Ella gem, with incredible views and lovely room!”
+The owner has put a lot of care into creating beautiful top floor suites with incredible views. We loved the beautiful morning birds and giant squirrels that could be photographed right on our balcony. It truly was our favourite accommodation for the whole trip. Birding enthusiasts will love this place. We had a hornbill settle right on our balcony! Book the second floor or top floor rooms for the incredible views from surrounding windows on all sides. We also were completely floored by the amazing and generous welcome drinks tea serving and incredible breakfasts. Our host packed a super lovely breakfast also on the day we needed to set out at 5am for a hike. We really appreciated the attentive and hospitable service. Tuk tuks were arranged for quick trips into town to enjoy the shopping and dining, then back to our beautiful and tranquil haven from all the bustle just minutes away. Truly a hidden gem!

“If you’re looking for a genuine Ella experience encountering monkeys, stunning views, jungle sounds but still close enou”
+We stayed for 2 nights while traveling through from Kandy to the sounds coast. The view was stunning, completely lived up to the pictures. Saman and his family couldn’t have been more helpful and offered a traditional breakfast every morning delivered to the balcony as well as recommendations on what to do in the area. The apartment had its own entrance so felt very private and was only a 5-10 minute walk from the buzz of the main town (although Saman was happy to give us a lift in his Tuktuk with our luggage on the last day). Everything was clean and the AC and newly renovated shower worked great.
−Nothing- easily accessible by tuk tuk (2 mins from main road) or walking but would note that the lanes are a little tight by car from the town.

“Geweldig uitzicht”
+Geweldig uitzicht op de Ella rock en little adams peak. Super plek als je 2 nachten in Ella wilt verblijven. Kamer boven heeft geen AC, maar dat is niet nodig met de avond temperatuur in Ella!
−Enige nadeel is wellicht de steile looptocht omhoog. Maar de eigenaar wil je wel brengen of je boekt een tuktuk

“Uitmuntend”
+De host en zijn familie waren erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Het ontbijt was het beste ontbijt wat we in Sri Lanka op hebben en ook nog eens met een spectaculair uitzicht.

+Super mooi uitzicht en leuke, mooie en schone kamer! We hebben meerdere keren aapjes gezien vanaf het balkon en zelfs een Luwak. Ontbijt was erg goed en uitgebreid. Hele vriendelijke eigenaren, ze waren altijd bereikbaar voor vragen. Het weggetje naar de locatie toe is wat hobbelig en steil op sommige plekken maar opzich is het prima te bereiken. We hadden onze eigen tuktuk maar vonden het zelf prettig om ‘s avonds een tuktuk taxi te pakken naar het centrum (hoewel je er binnen 10 minuten lopen ook bent). Ook hierbij was de eigenaar erg behulpzaam, als we hem belden dan stond er binnen 5 minuten een tuktuk voor de deur! Zelfs toen we weggingen hielp hij ons met de onze tuktuk draaien op het smalle weggetje zodat we gemakkelijk weg konden rijden
−Het enige wat iets minder praktisch was, is dat de hele badkamer nat wordt als je doucht. Het zou een goede toevoeging zijn om een vloerwisser in de badkamer te zetten zodat je zelf na het douchen het meeste water naar het putje kan trekken
