Very kind host

Stayed in August 2025

Kitchen was not very clean. You can hear some noise at night from the bars in the main street.

Room was nice, staff was very kind and gave us a fridge from another room. Beautiful view on the Ella rock. Location was 2 min walk from the main street.

Really excellent location, super nice rooms and extremely clean. Only a very short walk into the main stretch of town. Helpful and friendly staff.

The room was very spacious and clean, beds were comfortable, there were fans and mosquito nets. I loved the Terrasse with the beautiful view and the hosts were super helpful and friendly. Restaurants, bars and supermarkets were in walking distance. Very nice place overall

Good value for money. Family room was huge for two people.. Breakfast.was large. View of Ella Rock from balcony great. Room is up many stairs, on a hill. Loved all the windows and natural light in room.

Shower is too low for people above 170 cm.

On walking distance of centrum. Helpful owner.

Relatively small room - not much floor space around the bed.

Good location as just away from the busier centre. Really kind and welcoming host. Nice to stay with a family.

The only things I can think of is having is investing in less scratchy towels and that the WiFi while good, is not top notch compared to similar properties in Sri Lanka

We loved staying here - my son and I. The room was spacious for two adults that weren't a couple, and everything worked fine, including the shower with warm water. Beds were comfortable. The location was great - just a bit away from noisy night-life places but a really short walking distance to all the action. We loved the breakfast and the big upstairs patio with a view where we would meet other guests in the morning and enjoy the sunrise. The uphill walk to the property is much less than others I have stayed at in Ella - and no need for a flash light at night - which I only say due to other reviews. Very friendly and helpful staff (family) and their dogs - Rosie was our favourite.

Everything was great.

We had a great stay here! The owner is really kind and helpful. The room was lovely, spacious and really comfy beds. Would definitely recommend if you are visiting Ella!

This was not a problem for us at all, but the last 50 metres walk upto the property from town is steep, so a consideration for those with mobility issues; a Tuktuk ride is easy way to solve this.

Good location and views. It's close to town but far enough to offer some quite nights sleep, as some bars play loud music until early morning. Good and plentiful breakfast taken on our terrace. Lots of restaurants and bars nearby.

Centrally located but quiet. We ordered breakfast each morning which was delicious and plentiful! The pictures of the room and were view were accurate representations. Sajith and family were so warm and welcoming.

The room was quite hot and the fan was not very powerful.

This homestay is a 5 minute walk to the center of Ella (on a steep hill). The owners are very welcoming and helpful. They also have two very lovely dogs. The room was spacious and very clean, with a seating area outside that has a great view of Ella rock

Nothing. It was super pleasant. Although the music from some pubs reached the room. But that’s a bit the same for all places around here

Very kind host and lovely place to stay with nice Mountain View

Welcome Homestay is a great place to stay whilst in Ella. Really good location, only a very short walk to the main restaurants and shops, but very quiet. The hosts are very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. If it's hot, and you fancy a swim, ask them about the secret swimming spot!

Amazing breakfast, nice hosts

Small steep slope up, especially good to know if you are going to the center, but the taxi will take you there.

The beds were great. There was also a warm shower (a somewhat light spray). Good hospitality, good location and also breakfast was fine!

I have no idea

Beautiful view of the mountains from the terrace. Very tasty, varied breakfasts, a very large amount of food, aromatic tea. Delicious fruits - bananas, pineapples, passion fruits, watermelons, papaya.

Everything!The room has everything you need, including a kettle and hairdryer. The location was a 5' walk to the centre but quiet enough to have a good night sleep and the family was very kind.

Nothing

Although the house is being extended, the room is spacious and correct. The breakfast is spectacular and the hostess is very friendly. The location is unbeatable.
