I booked 3 nights here in the 4beds shared room, but in the end I couldn't stay at the hostel because of a mistake that I made. The owner was super cool about that and even helped me to sort out my situation and invited me for a chat and some tea. He is the sweetest person and has a lot of advice to offer. I recommend this hostel to everyone, especially solo travelers, cause there is a very social atmosphere. Thanks again my friend, I wish you and your family all the best

Wow wow wow!! The owner Kasun and the whole family were so kind and friendly. I left my earphones at the hostel and I only had about 10 minutes until my train arrived, not only did he drop me there at the station but also came back again to bring my earphones at a short notice. This stay was wonderful, peaceful and sociable. Breakfast was amazing and beds were comfy. Favourite hostel in Sri Lanka!!

The place is both clean and comfortable, and it's amazing in a word. Matthew and Palit, who are the staff members of one person, are amazingly friendly and helpful. The staff is the best I've ever seen.Overall, I loved this place.

Very nice place surrounded by nature and birds far away from the bustling city center of Ella. I would recommend this place for people that are looking for nature and are coming here for hiking as the property is really close to multiple trails. The owner will also provide a pretty nice breakfast and lunch/dinner when you don’t feel like going out which will be absolutely delicious and worth it.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
