Unfortunately they were restructuring the room and it looked not finished yet, also the location, that looks quite at first glance , was very noisy in the night because of a discoteque near the house and the roof, made of laminate, was broken and it was impossible to sleep for the noises If they fix the room and maybe you don't want to sleep early, but go to the disco, it could be a good place to stay because it's close to the city and the rail train

Near the city center and the train rail

Upper floor was under construction and it didn’t even have a fan in any of the room getting to the upper floor was kind of challenging and it dint have a curtain anyone can see you what your doing inside the room in upper floor but the next day they did help me change my room which was better and i had my privacy

The location was amazing it was nearby to the ella street and the staff was very helpful the rooms were nice

It smelled a bit of dampness. The double bed was fine, but my eleven-year-old daughter got a bed that was too short with exposed springs.

The room was small but had beautiful paintings of elephants on the walls (my daughter was thrilled!). The owner was very kind and helpful, he explained exactly how and where to go, where we can eat etc. It’s super close to everything (you can even walk to Little Adam's Peak). Overall, I highly recommend it, though for three people, the room was definitely too small.

The room can be stuffy at times.

The location of this place is on a little hill near everything in Ella (bars, restaurants, cafes, clubs, shops...). The host was very helpful. The first night I slept like a baby there, despite the Ella's night sounds.

They need to working on more with the shower, it's so small. And since the location little hidden, it was quite but sometimes you find some small animal.

The room was clean and the bed was comfy, and it's value with price.

Nothing everything was great!

The accommodation was absolutely beautiful, the rooms and beds were super comfortable and nice, it's a great place to be in the middle of town but have peace and quiet and a nice view whilst also only a short walk to everything in town. Also can't forget to mention the host! What a great guy, has all the knowledge about town and helped with everything I asked, I'd definitely stay here again! Gotta be one of the best hidden gems in Ella!

Calling this place a “homestay” is like calling a cockroach a bird — it’s got Walls, some bed, some bathroom fittings, but that's about it. Let’s break it down: 1. The rooms were moldy and smelled like it too. We couldn't step on the floor without shoes. Everything had inches of dust on it. 2. The bathroom isn’t exactly separate — the walls don’t fully close, and half the ceiling is missing. Not kidding. 3. The bathroom door doesn’t close properly. My friend and I had to kick each other out every time one of us needed to use it. We ended up using the restaurant bathrooms because we couldn’t bear to go into this one. 4. The bathroom had snails and cockroaches. 5. The bedsheets had stains of who-knows-what. Honestly, I felt disgusted lying on them. When we asked for a fresh set, the host first gave us a blanket, and later, a piece of cloth that had twigs in it. Cute, right? 6. The walls are damp. We kept our luggages near the wall and the part of the bag that touched the wall was completely wet. 7. And now, the best part. The host seemed nice at first, but within ten minutes of checking in (before even going into the room), he asked for payment. We’d stayed at several homestays in the past week and never encountered that. We told him we’d pay later as we might extend our stay in Ella. On the second day, he asked again, saying he needed the money for Poson. We paid, and never saw him again — not even when we checked out. ***To top it all off, on our last morning, before even checking out, while we were out for breakfast, he called us saying our car had arrived but he was sending it away because he wanted us to use his taxi instead. Super sleazy. Gave us so much grief and anxiety. And then couldn't find him anywhere to check out. We just had to leave

the location is excellent, just a 3-minute walk from Ella Main Road. But that’s about it.

- moldy - smelly - dark - toilet not really separated from the rest of the room due to missing ceiling, very unhygienic and smelly - windows covered with styrofoam

Location, very close to the main street

First of all there were none of the equipments announced on booking.com (no TV, no bath, no tea/coffee set, ...) A hotel nearby played music loud till 3am at night ... And it was not even the weekend! Cockroaches (5 cm long at least) ran at night in the bathroom... I didn't even use it !!

Dany is the only good thing I'll remembered of this place

We didn't stay there since our booking was cancelled last minut.. We were there, but the owner told us he was tired and everyone was sleeping. We had our check in time noted on 23:00, the room should not be available on booking if he is not able to host anyone around this time.

The only reason for not giving 10 out of 10, is because this is an average place. You can't expect luxury facilities for the location and the price. For the traveler who wants a decent place Talblick is a good option. If you want immaculate, pristine rooms you need to pay at least 20USD for the area and location👍🏽 Ella is surrounded by lush greenery and forests, it is normal for insects to come into the room, especially if you have food. Don't hesitate to book with TALBLICK!! thanks for all your help and support.

The location is so central, the room has everything you need. Very spacious, the caretaker is very very helpful.

had a fantastic stay here! The rooms were impeccably clean, and the location is unbeatable—just 200 meters from Ella station, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the area. Channa, the owner, was welcoming and attentive, ensuring everything was perfect for my stay. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a spotless, well-located place in Ella!”
