View and location were great. We are backpackers. The host was very nice and kind; they prepared laundry lines and pins, so we could dried our laundry. They shared their cook place, when we left the host's son dropped us off at the bus stop.

The hosts are the most lovely people ever. They truly care about their guests and even prepared breakfast for us to go at 5.30am. The house is a bit out of town but the walk there in the evening is magical, surrounded by fireflies and nature you can walk down the street in easy 20min from town. Highly recommend :)

The location is beautiful, it has a very romantic vibe to it. The way they have built the wooden cabin is so aesthetic and well planned. The hosts were super helpful and the breakfast was amazing

The location was fantastic, just a bit outside Ella center, offering a peaceful and quiet atmosphere. The surroundings were beautiful, with a lovely garden and a balcony that had comfortable chairs, perfect for relaxing. The hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful, providing useful tips about the area and even assisting with the luggage. They also double-checked to ensure everything was going well. The breakfast was plentiful and simply delicious 🩵 there is also a great juice bar just outside the hotel. I absolutely loved the place and would definitely stay again if I visit Ella in the future. Just a heads-up, there are some stairs to navigate to reach the hotel, so if you have mobility issues, you should keep that in mind.

This accommodation is amazing. The owners are incredible. The breakfast was the best by far. The location was outstanding, so quiet and 5 minutes walk to the nine arch bridge. These guys are amazing! We cannot recommend them enough. We wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you. And your children and beautiful wife was gorgeous. Thank you for an outstanding experience!

We had such a lovely stay at Niranjala’s place. From the moment we arrived we felt right at home. The accomodation is cozy, clean and super comfortable. The breakfast she cooks is amazing and there’s plenty of it too. We walked into town along the train tracks in around 40 minutes. We loved watching the sky change colours in the morning light and listening to the sounds of the birds and the forest really made our stay as relaxing as possible. We were lucky enough to try Niranjala’s cooking in the evening- it was the most delicious Sri Lankan food we have ever eaten. Honestly everything from start to finish was just excellent, we were really well taken care of.
