We really loved our stay at Saveen View Ella. The owner picked us up from the train station with his own tuktuk, we got a yummy welcome drink, the view is just amazing as the homemade food. Above all, we really appreciated the hospitality and the conversations with the hostess. We can highly recommend .

Lovely hosts, relaxing room

The host picked me up at the station. 10 minutes to drive up the mountain. The place was quite new, everything was clean and tidy. Rammi was preparing a delicious dinner and has taken care about everything. With her husband I made a roundtrip for four hours. You can walk up from Ella in around 25 minutes, or you take a Tuk Tuk. It was a comfortable stay.

Nothing. Everything was perfect for me and my husband has got a free tuktuk lesson and now he is driving it like a pro.

It was very clean and comfortable. We didn’t need to go to little Adam’s peak for the sunrise, as we could see the sunrise on our balcony. Breakfast was delicious and fresh!

Everything was amazing!

We stayed here last minute and boy was it a treat! We rescued a kitten from a temple, had no idea what to do with her but after a little intro, the hosts daughter, Isha quickly fell in love with her and decided to keep her. The rooms were beautiful and the temperature was cool due to being in the mountains. The breakfast was amazing and most importantly the people!! Our hosts are incredible human beings. If your in Ella, this is a must stay!

Location and view

Stayed in July 2024

Wonderful hospitality in a beautiful & peaceful location away from the hustle and bustle of Ella (but only a 20 min (steep) walk into town). Ramya and her family went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed. I was even made a packed lunch for my onward train journey to Colombo. Thank you

We have been travelling for 6 weeks and Ramya and her husband have been the nicest hosts. They always went out of their way to help us and even took us to see the local festival. The location is truly beautiful… Every day you have the best view with your breakfast and it feels like you live in the jungle. Very easy to get to ella city using the shortcut down the hill(stairs, took us around 20mins). I would recommend staying here to everyone!

One bedroom was a bit smelly

This place was great. The host was exceptionally helpful and took care of anything that we needed. The hotel room was fine, it is exactly what you would expect for the price. No frills, nothing fancy. But a comfortable bed and warm shower. It served our family of 5 well. The breakfast was good, some slight variations every day.

Quite far away from town- although it is only 1.4 kilometres this is all up a steep hill with the last bit being very bumpy and off road like. Impossible to be picked up so you either have to walk or use their taxi service. There were also a few dogs around the property which can be frightening, especially in the dark, but they were pretty harmless and the hosts were happy to shoo them!

The room was clean and organised with a lovely view and private terrace. No air conditioning but a fan was provided and that was enough as the climate is a little colder in Ella. Staff where lovely and very helpful. Breakfast was provided and host was very lovely to make it at different times and also custom to what you wished, very caring and hospitable people

Everything was simply amazing!!!! Can't recommend it enough! The room is cozy, the balcony is lovely and has AMAZING views! Location was perfect for us - its situated a bit outside of town and surrounded by beautiful nature, but you can easily walk or tuk tuk to town. Very idyllic and relaxing! But most of all, the hosts are so kind and make you feel so welcome and at home! The food is DELICIOUS (ask for dinner)! They also arranged an amazing tuk tuk tour for us!! We were so sad to leave and hope to come again one day!! Many thanks for your hospitality!! 💕

If you love nature this is the perfect location. A very remote accomodation in the middle of the nature, away from the noise of Ella. The hosts are so nice and friendly, you have an excellent view.

The road to the accommodation was a bit adventurous but also doable with the tuktuk.

The accommodation was located on a mountain and the view of nature was really nice. You only had to walk a few steps behind. We enjoyed the wonderful breakfast and the very delicious dinner on the terrace. We were able to park our tuktuk on the property. At night you could see the stars shining brightly. In the surroundings there was a nice café with a wonderful view.

Where do we even begin! Our favourite place that we have stayed in Sri Lanka. Such warm and welcoming hosts that truly look after you. We ended up extending our trip by 10 days as we loved it here so much. We could not of had a better experience. Delicious cooking and the views are amazing. The family that run the hotel make you feel so at home and are the loveliest people ever! Cannot reccomend enough. Thank you, we will be back one day!

It was simply a wonderful apartment. The family owning the cottage was very kind and even picked us up in town and brought us to the train station by Tuktuk. We had delicious breakfast and dinner and the view from the room was simply stunning. I would highly recommend going to this place! :)

Nothing

The owners were so very kind and helpful. A great husband and wife team with one of their daughters helping too. The property was quiet, positioned way out of town away from the throng of Ella’s night life and busy cafe’s. It was a relief to be met at Ella train station by the husband in his Tuk Tuk and taken to the homestay after a very long and cramped train journey. The walk would have been exhausting with luggage as all up hill. The view across the valley are beautiful especially at sunset & sunrise. The property was simple, clean and very comfortable.

The transport is a bit steep and bumpy, just be prepared for that :)

It’s a ten minute tuktuk ride away from Ella town center, tugged away in the mountains. The owners were so lovely and helpful. The breakfast was tasty and a lot. Bed is comfortable and the terrace has a great view.

No

The owner of the homestay picked me up from the train station and prepared some snacks to welcome me. The room was clean and spacious. The next morning, I could directly see the sunrise and waterfall from the room's balcony. The breakfast prepared by the owner was abundant, and they kindly answered guests' questions.

Be prepared for very steep and sometimes bumpy access road. However our tuk tuk made it!

Hospitality of the owners is beyond the scale. They are very helpful and kind. The hostess cooks delicious breakfast. The room is comfortable and has a beautiful view. Thank you for everything ❤️
