The photos do not do this justice. The place is stunning and the views are incredible. The host was so attentive! The breakfast was incredible and I cannot describe the views from the beautiful room. The place is clean, beautiful and safe. We promptly booked two more nights. Highly recommend!

Great laundry service. It was affordable and they do an excellent job take great care with your garments. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. We always had more than we could eat. Our room was spacious and clean, came with tea, coffee and fridge. The owner fixed my broken sandals (saving me from buying a new pair). The young man working there was all keys pleasant a bed very helpful. It was a brilliant experience staying there.

The view was amazing. The host was lovely and obliging.Took us anywhere we needed on his tuk tuk for a very reasonable rate. Made breakfast every morning whatever time suited us. Walked from homestay to waterfall one day and to mini Adam's peak another day. The views on the walks were amazing.

What Guests Said About Ella:

  • 8.0

    We loved the Mountain View’s.

    We loved the Mountain View’s. The Main Street is a little crowded and all of the walkways are uneven. Everything is on a hill and there is a lot of walking . Stairs do not have handrails. The sites to see in the city are not easily accessible without transportation. Tuk tuk rides are very bumpy. Most of the tourists in the city are young . As an older traveler over 70, I would not recommend this location to an older adult unless you are very healthy and have good stamina for walking, heat, and bumpy rides.

    Ella is in the mountains so there is a lot of walking and lots of stairs and climbing. We saw young back packers as the majority of visitors. It was hot and humid so drinking water was very important. The tea plantation tour was good and informative. The arches trip involved a harrowing drive up a narrow bumpy road. Waterfalls were always full of people. The town is great with lots of dining options and great shops!

    The amazing and perfect nature around Ella is getting over exploited. Too many buildings (hotels in particular) are under construction in the delicate hills of Ella, they should protect the environment as the place will loose its magic if it becomes just some kind of shopping mall / tourist centre. The hotels are already enough, no need for more.

    Ella is truly one of the hidden gems of Sri Lanka.

    Ella is truly one of the hidden gems of Sri Lanka. Tucked away in the hill country, this charming little town offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, adventure, and relaxation. Surrounded by lush green tea plantations, misty mountains, and cascading waterfalls, it feels like stepping into a postcard. One of the best things about Ella is how laid-back and peaceful it is, yet there's so much to explore. Whether you're hiking up Little Adam’s Peak or the iconic Ella Rock, walking across the Nine Arches Bridge, or just enjoying a quiet tea with panoramic views, every moment feels special. The town itself is small but full of character, with cozy cafés, local restaurants, and friendly people. It’s also very traveler-friendly, making it easy to get around or find a good place to stay. And let’s not forget the cool mountain air—a refreshing change from the tropical heat in other parts of Sri Lanka. If you're planning a trip to Sri Lanka, Ella is an absolute must-visit. Whether you're a nature lover, a backpacker, or just someone looking to unwind in a scenic spot, Ella will leave you with memories you'll never forget.

    It's a beautiful place on top of the mountains, surrounded by mountains and clouds, just like in a heave. Food was delicious 😋 I can never forget the rice and curry bowl I had at Serenite. It's a perfect place for peace, that relaxes your senses. Ravana waterfall is a must to visit.

    Very friendly and vibrant town.

    Very friendly and vibrant town. The walk up Ella Rock is a must, but make sure you look at an online guide first. We got lost on the way up adding several difficult km's of walking. The trip out to Lipton's seat is worth it for the views along the way as well as from the seat itself. The train to NanuOya is also well worth the ticket price.

    Amazing views down through the valley. The staff were really nice and helpful. Everything was very clean - bedrooms and pool etc. The overall environment was very nice. Breakfast buffet was fantastic with a great variety of fruit, eggs, waffles, cereal, iced coffee and much more! Short walk in to Ella town. We really enjoyed this little treat of a spot, it’s slightly more expensive than places around but very worth it. Felt like a luxury stay in Sri Lanka.

    The view is amazing. The hotel is brand new and thr hosts are amazing. It is a bir far from the main road, but it means you have silence and can relax, plus the view is great being on top of the hills. The free shuttle to the town and from the town everytime you need it is amazing. The host even prepared take-away breakfast for us because we left very early in the morning. Would recommend 100% to stay here if you are coming to Ella.

    Lovely boutique hotel, set on the side of a hill, quite a few steps to our room but worth it for the views. Set a little outside Ella but just a short tuktuks ride. We had dinner in the hotel both of our nights and the food was exceptional. Staff all friendly and helpful.
