The room is a little bit dark. The bathroom will be modified soon.

Excellent acommodation and especially a wonderful breakfast. 15 min walking to the main street/road. Owner are very kind.

It was a little bit of a walk from the centre but not far enough to put me off staying here again.

It is exactly what you see in the pictures. A cute little haven just for you in beautiful Ella . It was clean, had ac and the bed was comfortable. As mentioned in other reviews - the breakfast was exceptional and such good value for money!

Quiet, walking distance into buzzy town. Beautifully appointed room. Without doubt, our best breakfast across a 2 week trip. Really gorgeous place. Thank you so much.

Hosts were very responsive and helpful. Location was amazing for central Ella. Place was spacious and big bed. Weird smell constantly coming from the bathroom.

It is a little bit off the main road but easy to reach with a short tuk tuk ride or walk through the forest.

Very nice room with AC and a little garden. The hosts are very nice and the breakfast is an absolute 10/10. Thank you for having us!!

Everything was perfect.

The best accommodation in Sri Lanka. Privacy (no other quests in the building), quality of the room, the breakfast, all amenities, and top quality service. Cannot recommend more. Wish I could stay longer. It's the perfect retreat for at least a week.

Nothing really

The place is just like in the pictures. It features a mini apartment with your own private garden. Location is good, really quiet, but just a short walk to town. But without a doubt, the best thing about this property is the owners. They went above and beyond to ensure I had a great stay: breakfast, arranging laundry for me, arranging tuk tuk and drivers... Their generosity and friendliness are what make this place so special.

Amazing place to stay would definitely stay here again. Lovely room hidden away with its own garden, patio and hammocks. Room was very clean and comfortable and nice shower/ bathroom. Had WiFi, A/C and provided us with first aid kit, hairdryer and games to play. Staff were so friendly and nice provided us a with a ginormous breakfast every morning and umbrellas for the rain. Great location, close to town without hearing the noise.

I didn't love the "wet room" style of the bathroom and there could be some additional ventilation in there, but we knew that this would be the case when booking.

The morning breakfast was amazing and our hostess was incredibly polite and attentive. The room itself was perfectly tucked away from the noise and fumes of the main road. The small garden was lovely to sit in and read when we wanted some peace and quiet and the decor of the room was pleasant. The bed was comfortable with additional layers available for the cooler evenings. The hosts were also able to help organise transport for us to Weligama.

Nothing - all excellent.

This has been our best stay in Sri Lanka so far. We absolutely loved this place. It is not far from the main street in Ella, but far enough to be mercifully quiet. It is a beautifully fitted out room with King bed nice bathroom. You have a patio and small garden out the front, hammocks, table and chairs. Our hosts have made an effort to provide all the little niceties to make your stay comfortable - tea, coffee, hair dryer, first aid stocks, bathroom supplies etc. It is spotlessly clean. As it gets cold in Ella, we had blankets provided too. Breakfast was included and was absolutely HUGE. Beautiful! Loved sitting on the porch eating it. Kept us going all day! They have a scooter for hire if you want yo get around yourself - we didn’t heed it as we had a personal driver. Coukd mot fault the setvice.

We had one of the best stays in Sri Lanka here at Alone Cage! We spent two nights and immediately after arrival wanted to extend, but of course a gem like this was fully booked. Some comments suggest no A/C, which is not true anymore. The whole tiny house was fully renovated a month ago. They thought about every little detail, which makes you feel like sleeping at a friends home with personality and soul. The entire family was lovely and very fast in responding to our messages. And to put the cherry on the top, the breakfast was incredible!

Stayed in November 2024

Room had a lot of useful items such as old books about Sri Lanka, board games, first aid, coffee and many more. I can clearly tell that host have great knowledge on how to make customers cozy. Also host was very helpful and kind. We enjoyed the hammocks on the terrace. Highly recommend!

There were some small ants in the bathroom but we didn’t mind.

Very nice and spacious room with incredibly friendly host Waruna and his fiance who arranged a lot for us (driver, scooter, laundry). 10/10 would reccomend! Location is also perfect, not too busy but close to all the restaurants.

Stayed in September 2024

We felt very good here! The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. We liked the location in a quiet place just a few steps from the main street with shops and restaurants. At this accommodation we ate the best breakfast in Sri Lanka! We would definitely come back! Thanks for everything!

Everything excellent.

A superb quiet location surrounded by trees away from the hustle of the main street. The cottage has lots of room, hot shower, hammocks out the front and privacy. An easy walk to downtown Ella. A huge breakfast each morning made by the most wonderful friendly hosts. A must stay place in Ella.

It was a spacious nice place close totgt he main street and little Adam's Peak. Very comfy room and nice hosts.

We had a wonderful 4 night stay in this little cabin. The location is not far from Ella, about 1km easily walkable. Do not miss their breakfasts! Definitely a highlight of this place, and compared to the rest of Ella you'll be saving a lot. They offered us their house to park our tuktuk and were very accommodating in general. There is no aircon but we found Ella to be not as hot as the south. Would definitely come back.

Stayed in July 2024

Location was good, about 5-10 min away from the street which has cafes, supermarkets & restaurants, souvenir shops etc. However, the last about 200 m road was very narrow, had no lighting & was a bit lonely at night.

Nice spacious room & Bathroom with a little garden, couple of hammocks, small dining table on the porch for breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice, simple breakfast in fresh air with mix of western & Srilankan cuisine, fresh fruits & juice. Room had all amenities, bathroom had hot water for shower, though the water pressure in the shower despite the booster pump was slightly low than I am used to back home but it was a common issue during our stay in five different facilities in Sri Lanka Excellent value for money & overall very satisfied with our stay.

The room can be slightly damp in the monsoon season, so there are some small flies around the room. There's a mosquito net around the bed, so it didn't bother us too much though!

The hosting family are a prime example of Sri Lankan hospitality. They are always there for you if you need something, but know when to give you some space and make you feel at home. The breakfast is absolutely superb; fresh local food and plenty of it.

We loved this place so much! It was so quiet and peaceful away from the noise of Ella. The garden is private and such a nice space to have. The owners are so lovely and understood what we wanted out of a space to relax. The breakfast was also really good and great value. We'd definitely stay here again when we return to Ella.
