Reviews of Tea Pick View Ella

Stunning view! We had really cool room with bed at the antresol. Staff were very nice, they made dinner for us was very delisious . Super nice place to stay in Ella

The view, the staff and the breakfast were amazing. The location is a bit more remote but beautiful in nature. It's totally worth it.Delisious breakfast ...

I had such a wonderful experience at Tea Pick View that I extended my stay by five nights! The room was spacious, very clean, and had a beautiful balcony view overlooking the trees and tea fields. Breakfast each morning was a highlight - fresh, delicious, and made with care. WiFi connection was stable, so I was able to work from the homestay. The location is about a 7-minute drive from Ella town, which I actually loved, as it’s peaceful and away from the busy center. What made the stay truly special was the family. They were incredibly kind and helpful - arranging tours, tuk-tuk rides, and sharing their culture with me. One of the highlights was a cooking class they offered, where I learned how to prepare a traditional Sri Lankan rice and curry meal. It was fun, informative, and delicious! Highly recommend if you're looking for a quiet, comfortable, and welcoming place to stay near Ella.

It's very clean and good space for family holiday with kids

The place was amazing—just a few minutes outside the tourist town—with a stunning view exactly as shown in the listing! What truly made it special was the owner's hospitality and kindness. He was always available to offer support and information. It was a great pleasure staying there. Coming from Europe, I can say the quality of service was of a very high standard, with a warm, human touch that really enhanced the experience. Ps. The breakfast is fantastic!!!!

We loved it! + We loved our stay here! The people that work there are are so sweet and make sure you have everything you need Super nice breakfast. It‘s clean and the rooms come with a nice mountain view.

We had an incredible time in Tea Pick View Ella. The room was simple, but cozy and clean. The owners were very helpful (they gave us a lot of advices what to see in the vicinity of the hotel and how to reach the next destination of our trip).

I honestly can't understand where all these positive reviews come from - the room we stayed at was just awful, anything like what you can see here on booking. First af all, it was just dirty- the floor hadn't been properly cleaned, the bedsheet looked like if it hadn't been changed after the previous guests and there was no top sheet - just a blanket to sleep under (which obviously doesn't get changed after each booking). When we asked for another sheet, what we received was torn in many places and full of stains. The view was far from what we expected, too ( I have to admit though that the other two rooms do have a lovely view from the terrace). This wasn't the worst part though- what was worst was the lack of ventilation. We stayed there during a period of heavy rains and the room and everything in it just smelled really badly. I suppose the reason for this is that part of the buidling (including the room we stayed at) is located under the ground as it's built on a steep slope... Last but not least, the owner charged us an extra fee when checking out (it was 'booking commission') which did not appear anywhere on our booking confirmation and it made this stay the most expensive one of all places that we stayed at in Sri Lanka... and the most disappointing one, too. I really wish I could leave a more positive review as the owners seemed very friendly, but a nice simple is simply not enough to make up for the poor standard and high price which this place offers. On a final note, bear in mind that there is a 'tuktuk mafia' in Ella- uber and the likes do not work, and each ride to the town centre will cost you 1000 rupees.

Great value for money! The staff are super friendly and even help arrange travel facilities at reasonable prices. Plus, they provide an awesome travel guide!

Very good place to stay. We had an amazing breakfast and the owner is very helpful! Highly recommend 👌

A room through the mountains of Ella. + Staff: The reception staff was extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful, providing us delicious breakfasts with variety of fruits, it is not a buffet breakfast but it is the essential to start the day well. Room: Wonderful view and in a very super..

The accommodation is excellent, you feel immersed in nature. The host is very helpful, he helped us with planning. Excellent breakfast....

Had a really good time! The host was very sweet and helpful. The view from our room was breathtaking and the place is nicely located off the hectic streets of Ella. Breakfast was also really nice.

The room was bright and spacious with a comfortable bed and good mosquito net. I think with some more attention to detail and maintenance and some deep cleaning this accommodation could be one of the better places most people could stay in SL. The location is not bad however the road is not ideal to walk in to Ella, still there are a few restaurants in walking distance. PickMe doesn't operate in Ella so it's good to be aware of that aswell for taking tuktuks.

I never like to see fleece blankets in accommodations as more often than not I think they are not clean. The ones here certainly did not smell fresh. I requested a sheet instead which was much better and clean. They should just get rid of those fleece blankets completely. The air spray they use is very strong and quite over powering the first few hours.

I like everything from the first second I have arrived! Big, cozy room, clean bathroom with HOT WATER! Lovely host and extremely friendly family. Delicious food with beautiful view! As a solo female traveler I felt really safe!

The place is not the same as you look in the picture. The room was very smelly and had no vetalization. There was some kind of bug in the bathroom. It is not a hotel, it is a home stay. The location of the place is pinned in the map is wrong.

Good host, good property, delicious breakfast.

Very nice view from the balcony. Ron has everything you need

Very much mild in the bathroom, bathroom not clean at all (there were splashes of toothpaste on the mirror when I arrived).

Outstanding from start to finish. We booked last minute, and we arrived to find a perfectly clean room, a beautiful view, wonderful and thoughtful hospitality (the host even arranged a scooter for us), and just a really great experience. I really really liked this place, the family, the food. Everything. Avoid the chaos that is today's Ella, go 1.5km away and enjoy complete serenity.

The road to the lodge was a bit bumpy but it was made easier by being very close to the main road. The owner and family together keep the accommodation very clean.👍👍 They were quick to provide a very friendly service. 🙏🙏Was able to enjoy a delicious breakfast.

Lovely place with a stunning view! The hosts were very nice and helpful. A but out of ella town but I liked it because Ella town is very busy. The breakfast was delicious, and even more better together with the nature sounds! Can highly recommend it.

Nice breakfast over a lovely view. Out of noisy town so peaceful and quiet and the owners are lovely. They helped with pick up from station, a tuk tuk tour, railway schedules so that we could go to nine arches at the right time and a taxi for onward travel.

Hospitality by owners was awesome!! They helped rent scooters and also provided laundry service
