Pillows were amazing and beautiful views from the family room. Very comfortable and clean and a short walk into town.

Nothing to dislike.

Lovely spacious family room with a balcony and a great view of Ella Rock. Comfortable beds, big bathroom and all very clean. Huge breakfast and a friendly helpful family who will offer advice on travel and suggestions of where to go. The steep hill to walk up is a challenge if you’re not very fit, but it is close enough to walk into town and far enough out not to be noisy, so well worth a bit of puffing!

Better lighting needed in the room.

Absolutely brilliant. Great location. Great staff who were very helpful. Fabulous breakfast.

This didn't change our opinion and we would give it 10/10 regardless but the walk from the main road to the accommodation is steep and its not a particularly good road for unfamiliar cars. We were fine with it and tuk tuk drivers could get up it easily but just be warned if you're walking from the station with lots of luggage!

This was our favourite place on our travels through Sri Lanka! The host family were incredible and so welcoming. The rooms were large, comfy and really clean. It's a short walk to the main road of Ella with lots of restaurants, bars and shops but its far enough away so you get some peace and quiet!

Shame we didn't have a room with a view. Short walk from town but very steady hill.

Great Homestay, tasty and huge breakfast. Helpful staff that organised tuk tuk to waterfall. Would highly recommend the cooking class suggested by host (Lanka).

If you have a lot of luggage, you should note that there is a difficult climb to the house, but the owner helped us with the tuktuk and brought all the luggage.

Large rooms, clean and tidy, everything is beautiful, the view from the balcony of nature is stunning, the staff there is the best in the world! Everything we asked for they helped with great joy! Really close to the center of Ella, but very quiet and pleasant. Highly recommend

The family were really helpful and welcoming. The breakfast was huge, quick walk into Ella centre for food and they also did our laundry in 24 hours. Definitely recommend

Absolutely nothing. I cannot recommend this homestay enough. Good value.

Beautiful, recently built spacious rooms with a stunning view of Ella Peak. Very tastefully decorated and the nicest of bathrooms. Great water pressure and hot water. Eating breakfast on the balcony was a real treat. The family who run the room are delightful. Friendly, kind and informative. The homestay is at the top of a steep hill but you can easily get a tuktuk up if you have mobility issues. We stayed at 10 different places in Sri Lanka and this was the best. Impeccably clean. I wish I could have their Sri Lankan breakfast every day for the rest of my life. The location is really good for Little Adam's Peak and the Nine arch bridge.

We had a fantastic time here! The hosts are super professional and friendly. The rooms are big, bright, and really clean — very comfortable. Breakfast was huge and delicious, perfect to start the day. Plus, the owner’s husband with his tuk-tuk was awesome, helping us with great local trips. Felt like home but with all the comforts. Can’t wait to come back!

Everything was great!

Very clean and welcoming. The staff went above and beyond with the added touch of decorating our room to celebrate our honeymoon. Our room was newly decorated and had a beautiful view of Ella rock from the balcony on the top floor. Great central location, within walking distance of many points of interest. Tucked away so it is peaceful at night. Staff are incredibly helpful, offering tips on places to visit and local knowledge. They organised Tuktuks trips when needed too.

The breakfast was the best we had in Sri Lanka as they offered Sri Lankan food as well as western. The family were so kind and friendly and the rooms were so comfy and clean and the view was amazing.

Nothing, all was beyond expectation.

Little Paradise Homestay is really a paradise due to the family friendliness, unbelievable level of hygiene, the facilities availability and quality as well as the tasty big breakfast. It is the best homestay I have stayed in Sri Lanka in, during my vacation. The room and bashroom are spontaneously clean. The bed smells clean and it is comfortable. It has a mosquito net. There are sockets close to the bed for charging. All amenities from fridge, new hear dryer, new kettle, clothes hanger and nail cutter were available in the room. My room (in the ground floor) had a small space in front of it with chairs and table for enjoying the cool fresh air during the night and the morning ( to enjoy breakfast even more). The breakfast was big and with lots of variety to keep you full for a long time.The hosts speak good English and are very informative. I really enjoyed talking to the family and they were really helpful in answering my questions and arranging transportation at reasonable price.

The smell of the burning trash from the neighbours.

This place is located walking distance to the restaurants and main street, but still in the quiet neighbourhood. Please notice that you have to climb a few minutes to access the place. It is steep. Not a big deal, but if you are with kids, have stroller or a lot of bags I recommend calling them and owner will come with the tuk-tuk. It is very clean and the owners are attentive. Breakfast offer is good including fruits, tea, local dish and European. The view is on the green hill, and you can hear all the ''jungle noise :)'', but before making the reservation check which room you will get. Prior to the trip in some comments I have read about room with the view on some trash field. It is true, although this side of the balcony is covered. This looks nice, but sometimes the smell of burning trash ( and plastic) was keeping us from enjoying the balcony and the view. I know it is not the owners fault, and we were there only 2 nights, but it could be disturbing. I am writing that, believing that maybe the owners can talk to the neighbour. Otherwise this place is really good.

A bit difficult to reach (steep unprepared road)

Really cozy place with stunning views a over Ella Rock. Super nice staff.

Could do with some more signage to find the exact location when first arrive.

Very friendly and helpful family that recommended activities and arranged tuk tuks etc. Very good, large breakfast. Room was good with big balcony, and clean and tidy. Good location, close to restaurants and nearby walk to 9 arch bridge.

Very minor complaint but the water pressure in the shower was a bit poor, but other than that nothing!

Lovey private balcony with chairs and table looking out over the forest. Air con and comfy bed and mini fridge in the room was a nice touch to put leftovers and keep drinks cold. Good location just a short walk up a very steep hill (like most places in Ella) from the centre. The breakfasts were delicious and huge!! But they were very nice about us taking leftovers!
