This place is perfect. Breathtaking views, clean room, quiet, the nicest staff who are very helpful, the best Sri Lanka breakfast. It is a bit out of town centre so you may plan your daily trips a bit more as the taxi apps does not work as well in Ella as in other places in Sri Lanka. But it does not change the fact that this place is perfect.

The drain in the bathroom had a funny smell - I’m sure this would have been fixed for us but we only stayed one night!

Amazing views, clean rooms, peaceful location just outside of Ella (only a short Tuktuk or a 30 min walk from Ella itself- the owners arranged a tuktuk for us). The breakfast was amazing!

Our stay at Adam’s Apple Homestay was nothing short of wonderful. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth by Susan (apologies if I spell the name wrong!) Their hospitality made us feel less like guests and more like part of their home. The homestay itself is in a beautiful location, with stunning views of the surrounding hills and lush greenery. Waking up each morning to this scenery was a highlight of our trip. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and well taken care of – you can clearly see the pride the family takes in running their place. What made our stay truly special, though, were the people. The owner and the other members went out of their way to make everything easy and enjoyable, from arranging little details to preparing the most delicious meals. Every interaction felt warm, personal, and sincere – it’s rare to experience this level of care when traveling. We left Ella with beautiful memories, and a big part of that is thanks to Adam’s Apple Homestay and the wonderful family behind it. If you’re visiting Ella, I can’t recommend this place highly enough.

Host was super friendly. Great breakfast with an amazing view. Hostel is a bit off from the centre but therefor very relaxing. The host offered us a good tuktuk driver. You can climb Ella Rock straight from the hotel. We strongly recommend this beautifull place

We loved our stay in this place. It has an amazing view. Localization is not in a center, but not far which is very good, for relax from chaos and noises. The owner has his TukTuk and he arranged you a transport, which was extremely nice. When he is not in the home, stuff organized different transport for a good price. When I sprained my ankle and he also offered that he can help us with it. Breakfasts was amazing! Extremly big portions with a delicious food. Room is big, clean and tidy. We have a warm water in the shower. We feel like home, regretting that we are not spending more time in this place. Highly recommend. Thank you so much for having us. Wish you and your family all the best.

It is a little bit far away from the centre from Ella but Tuk-Tuk service is being offered and views and quietness is worth it

The staff was just outstanding. Breakfast one of the best we had during our stay in Srilanka and the views are amazing

If you are a physically disabled person it would be difficult to reach the accommodation. Steep stairs of appr 80 steps to reach the accommodation

Stunning fantastic panoramic view We had the family room with a huge balcony and lovely sitbags Susantha, Wasantha and his wife were absolutely great. They will arrange everything you need

The way up to the home stay is not suitable for people who have difficulties walking,

We had a great stay! The view from the balcony on Little Adam’s Peak and Ella Rock is amazing. But it is the homely atmosphere and the super friendly staff that make the difference. The home made breakfast was the best we had during our 3,5 weeks trip in Sri Lanka. The menu changes every day and the table is full with the most delicious food. The home stay is 10 minutes drive from the centre of Ella. You need your own transport. In our case the owner drove us to town. The staff advices you about activities in the region and they work with very nice guides. The rooms are clean, ample but rather basic. The price-quality rate is excellent. We recommend booking this home stay well in advance in the high season.

It is a little far away from the city, you will need to tuk tuk into town - but the owners are very helpful at organising drivers for you :)

The owners were absolutely lovely and extremely helpful!!! The breakfast was a stand out too. The view is truly breathtaking

We loved everything about this homestay. Wasantha, the owner, was super nice and helpful. He gave us tips on where to go and drove us everywhere in his tuk-tuk. He told us all about life in Sri Lanka and made sure we were always comfortable. The view from the property is amazing and the breakfast was fresh and really tasty. I really recommend staying here for everyone coming to Ella. You will be far enough from the busyness of Ella city while still being a short tuk-tuk ride away from all the landmarks and activities.

We stayed here for three nights and we had an amazing stay. Beautiful location, super friendly owner and great breakfast. We would definitly return if we ever go to Ella again!

Like another traveller mentioned, Vasant was the best part of our stay. The room has gorgeous views but the hosts made it truly special by cooking up some delicious meals for us. And they were helpful offering help with other things. They even packed breakfast for us super early in the morning!

It's a little bit far from the city center and main attractions, but you can take a tuktuk. It was around 3.5$ each way.

The room was really good! Very comfy bed, hot water, tea and coffee available in the room. Great view on the balcony to watch the sunset and the sunrise. Surrounded by nature. The breakfast was the best I had in Sri Lanka. The host was very nice and helpful. He made some recommendations and booked our car from Ella to Arugam Bay.

A LOT of bugs in the room, not just mosquitos. Quite far from the city center, but easy to get a tuk tuk.

Amazing view from the room/balcony. Good breakfast. Nice host who arranges transport or takes you himself.

Our host was super friendly and helpful. He was always happy to give us a tuktuk ride to the center and even helped us to get a driver for our next destination. The view from our room was simply amazing. The room lived up to our expectation, quiet, clean and comfortable. Totally recommended!

For someone may be a little bit far from the city centre, but for those who like calmness - is good. Anyway it’s easy to get the tuk tuk and go wherever you want

Very clean room, friendly staff, amazing mountains view from the balcony. Breakfast are just the best for the whole trip.

We had a very friendly and warm welcome from Kumara and his family as well as his dogs :). The views were lovely and Kumara arranged a tuktuk tour for us based on our needs. Everything was lovely and I had a very good experience with nature and warm hospitality.

The level of service at Adam’s Apple is genuinely better than we have had at five star hotels. The staff couldn’t do enough to help, as others have said even making us breakfast to take away on the morning we left at 6am. The view was absolutely incredible and we enjoyed eating dinner in the balcony, which was tastier and much more reasonable than any food in town. It really was the highlight of our trip and we couldn’t recommend it enough. To top it all off it was extremely good value.
