It's a house in a privileged setting, but the best thing about it is undoubtedly the host's attention. She welcomes you as if you were family and takes care of you throughout your stay. She also provides all the help you need to have a wonderful experience in Ella.

The view is incredible.

The view from my balcony was gorgeous, the staff were so friendly, and the room was so clean. Everything was perfect. I have been in this country for almost 1 month, and this place was the best hostel!

Water pressure was not perfect, but fine for me. It is a lil walk from town, but as long as you stitch to the railways there‘s no dusty up and down! Nothing that made my stay less worthy tho! Totally enjoyed staying in the peace of nature!

Priceless views from balcony/room and breakfast location!! Breakfast was delicious and a lot for only one. Room was clean and as pictured, hosts very kind and helping out if in need, definitely recommend!

Nice room with the view on the waterfall. Great for people who love to be in the nature. Great breakfest as well as dinner. 10 mins walk to the city centre.

Lovely location away from the bustle and noise of central Ella but only a 10 minute walk away

The road to the home stay was narrow and winding, and it was a bit difficult for us to find the place.However Shammi and her husband guided us so we arrived without much trouble.

The stay was absolutely fantastic. The holiday home is set in the hills of Ella, and the upstair rooms and the dining area offered a scenic Mountain View with Kithala Ella waterfall cascading down the mountain. Though the waterfall was a little away, we could hear it’s sound day and night, like natures music. The rooms were comfortable and had the facilities as viewed in Booking.com. The hostess Shammi and her husband were very caring and cooked us delicious breakfast and dinner. There was hot water to shower which was great. We could see and hear peacocks from our rooms. There were many birds in the area including black hooded orioles, an Indian Paradise flycatcher, many parrots, red vented bul buls and the more common backers and sun birds in the area. One friend was unwell and Shammi prepared us a Samahan, a locally produced tea for colds, which cured her! She also found our driver accommodation in a house next to us. There is ample parking space available

Water pressure was weak, but good enough to take a shower)

Very beautiful experience. Great view, great energy of the place, very nice owners, great meals. I travelled with the group and the room upstairs was just freshly built with an amazing view and a great value.

Wifi didn't always perform a 100%, and the shower was sometimes cold during the day.

Most amazing view from the room I've ever experienced. The host is truly amazing, helped us out a lot and she cooks delicious meals. Location was comfortable. A short walk to city centre, but far enough so you'll be out of the Ella-hectic.

Everything was amazing!

Wow, this has been our favourite homestay during our month in Sri Lanka. It is 15 minute walk from the centre of Ella but the walk is 100000% worth it! The lovely family cook you a fantastic breakfast that you can eat with the view of the spectacular waterfall, we had peacocks land on the branches outside our room, the bed and pillows were comfy and the shower is the best I’ve had in Sri Lanka, so hot and powerful!

Can’t think of anything.

The views from the room are incredible to wake up to in the morning. The food served in the restaurant are great and the family are kind and welcoming. I really recommend this place if you love to be somewhere quiet in nature but not too far from the city.

Beautiful view, very good breakfast and friendly owner, enough space to park our tuktuk and hot shower.

I was recovering from a sinus infection and found Ella overwhelming. This was the perfect spot to rest, read and enjoy the incredible view. Lovely homemade breakfast, kitchen to use and very sweet host family.

Amazing place with a view of the waterfall, surrounded by nature. Great rooms and mattresses. The best host and her breakfast, recommended in all respects. Thanks for a great stay.

Peacocks seemed to land on the roof which sounded slightly like it was going to fall apart.. However after we mentioned it they moved us to a different room instantly. So definitely not a big a complaint whatsoever.

Amazing location, albeit not the closest to town.. One of the nicest views you'll get from a hotel with out spending a fortune.

You wake up in front of the waterfall! Beautiful and clean place 🧡
