10/10 Experience. The rooms are nice with a good bed and a nice bathroom. The family who runs the place are super helpful. They helped us book a scooter, picked us up free of charge at the train station, helped us get on the bus to our next location and they have laundry service! The breakfast is very good and they serve big portions. Can highly recommend!

Seriously I cannot pick out any bad things about this homestay. The room is SO spacious and omg the bed is SUPER comfy! The homestay owner is the sweetest lady and the family took care of me so well. Fantastic breakfast, top quality laundry service(seriously better than the city center), great location. I know for a fact that most of the accommodations in the city center here in Ella can be pretty pricey unless you choose hostel, this is your best choice if you’re on a budget but also wanna have a private room and at the same time still want a good location to access the city center. I rented a scooter and from this homestay to city center it only took around 5 minutes. 100% would recommend to everyone I LOVE this homestay so much.

Gorgeous place, so modern and the view's amazing! Felt so comfy and relaxed after that long drive. Peaceful and quiet, but just a 15-minute stroll to Ella town. The host was super friendly and helpful, and breakfast was great. She even packed us an awesome breakfast to go when we had to leave early for our train!

    Sri Lankan Breakfast. Brilliant location. 5 minute walk into main town and train station along the train tracks. Very clean, spacious room. Beautiful view of Ella rock and the valley below. Friendly owners, one is a guide for Ella rock and considerably cheaper than online prices.
