Staff was very friendly but hardly spoke any English, so couldn't give us any information or advice about Ella or it's surroundings.

Very nice and spacious room with comfortabel beds, great shower and a big terrace with beautiful view. Town is only a short walk along the railway tracks. Breakfast was good and had variaty.

We stayed in a small but cozy private room with hot water and a welcoming atmosphere. The lovely hosts greeted us with tea and served a generous breakfast in the morning. The absolute highlight was the breathtaking view – true to the name! From our private terrace we could see Little Adam’s Peak on one side and a waterfall on the other. Below the terrace, our children loved watching the train pass by, excited for their own ride the next day. A warm, peaceful stay with unforgettable scenery.

Nothing bad.

Nice and clean little homestay that has everything you can ask for. And it sure is a nice and charming view! A short walk on the train tracks! takes you to the city. Nice breakfast. The host helped with laundry.

The apartment could be little more clean, the blankets and towels had some strange smell :/

View from the terrace was absolutely amazing!! Staff is so kind and helpful, we had breakfast on the terrace every morning, they helped us arrange the tuk tuk since the pick me application couldn’t find the location.

We had a fantastic stay! The hosts were excellent—extremely friendly and hospitable throughout our visit. The location is very convenient, with Ella town just a 5-minute walk away via the railway track. It's about a 30–40 minute scenic walk to the Nine Arch Bridge along the same track, which we really enjoyed. After a fun night out in town, taking a tuk-tuk back was a great option when we felt a bit too tired to walk. The property is centrally located, making it easy to access all the main attractions. A special bonus was the beautiful view of the waterfall, especially from the top level—absolutely stunning even if it is at the distance! The house is near the railway track, and the occasional passing train was actually a charming and unique part of the experience.

Relax place 10 min walk from center on the railway road. Friendly host. Good bed and bathroom. Only strange that the toilet is after the shower. If you shower in the evening and need to go to the toilet you need to walk in the wet place and there is no ventilation.

I missed not having a sheet to put between myself and the comforter at night. The mattress and pillows seemed quite old, the room could need a refresh in general (new mattress and pillows, new white sheets to make it look clean).

Wonderful view of the waterfall and easy access to Ella rock hike via the train line in front of the house. Great little restaurant not far away (savory heaven). Takes about 15 minutes to get into town, worth getting a scooter

Room and bathroom a bit out dated but still functional

Beautiful view from the room, and lovely family who took care of us. Really nice breakfast too. Perfect if you’re looking for basic accommodation a short walk from town

Quite challenging for a passenger car, but nothing that couldn't be handled with better experience.

I personally liked the close proximity to the train tracks, which were literally a stone's throw from the accommodation. This also made it an easy trip to the city centre via them. Breakfast was sufficient to start the day.

Great place, we can only recommend to stay here. As many stated it is faster to reach than Google says, thanks to the possibility to walk next to the railway. The room was big and clean. The breakfast was the best we had and we even got bisquits and tea in the afternoon. Very nice family running the place!

There is no A/C and it‘s really warm in the room. We had to open the door during the night and put the fan there. And unfortunately locals burned plastic nearby (quite often) and the smoke came into the room.

The family greeted us with tea and cookies. They were very friendly the whole time and they made a delicious breakfast which was a little different every morning. The room was very clean and had everything we needed including a very good mosquito net. The view from the balcony, where you‘ll also have the breakfast is very nice. To go to town you can walk on the railway which only takes about 15-20 minutes. I can really recommend it.

The room has only one standing fan and you can't open the door to make it cooler at night (due to outdoor bugs). The water pressure was quite weak. We were a couple and could only use 1 side table whilst we slept, the room could use 2 more side tables if they want to accommodate for 4 guests. There are also limited plug sockets for charging 3 devices between 2 people. I would recommend them not to put the hairdryer in the bathroom near the shower.

Stunning private view that really made us feel relaxed, it was beautiful and we loved seeing waterfall and mountains amongst the forest. Comfortable stay and nice basic breakfast with sri lankan items given by the family, every morning with the beautiful view. It is next to train tracks and you can see trains come and go, which actually was quite interesting for us! it doesn't run past 7:30/8pm at night. The room is of a good size. The hosting family are warm and welcoming, even though they couldn't understand the english at times, they tried their best to guide us.
