Reviews of Windy Nest

We stayed 3 nights at The Windy Nest and felt right at home. The room was clean, the mosquito net was a life-changer, and the place is surrounded by nature-far from the craziness and noise of the center, yet still within walking distance. It’s close to attractions like Little Adam’s Peak and the Nine Arches Bridge. Big thumbs up for the breakfast on the balcony with its amazing view! For the price, it’s definitely worth it!

The Wi-Fi wasn’t working very well, but that’s also part of the experience-to fully disconnect and not be bothered by our phones.

So clean!!!! Great place and sweet host

Super clean!! Also the view was nice and we got homemade breakfast too The family was super sweet too

You have to remember to lock the door in the top because ours opened a little on its own

The family were so welcoming, and Heshan was really helpful with advice on where to eat and providing a tuk tuk for a tour of the places we wanted to visit. They took us to a beautiful secret waterfall were we were alone and could swim with the monkeys in the trees and butterflies flying around. They included us in their new year celebrations with cakes at breakfast and served us an amazing plentiful dinner that evening with the best rice I've ever had. We had a wonderful stay! Many thanks!

near the nine arch bridge. friendly staff nice view, a lot of green and animals

not easy to find, need to go down a ramp that needs extra attention if its raining

What an amazing view! Nestled away but close enough to walk to many restaurants. The family went above to make our stay comfortable. The room Is big and spacious with lots of natural light.

It does have a musty damp smell

Sanctuary away from hustle and bustle of ella, it is close to Little Adams rock and the bridge. The home overlooks the mountains. If you wake up early, you may see the deer walking through the garden. Otherwise, plenty of birds and squirrels to amuse. Food is sumptous and delicious and most of all, I'm grateful for Naomi and Shans family's hospitality.

We originally booked 3 nights, but we ended up extending our stay by an extra night because it was truly a paradise! We loved every moment spent in the stunning surroundings. The breakfast was different every day, and each one was absolutely delicious. Thank you for making our stay so memorable and enjoyable!

The staff is amazing! Felt welcome from the first minute we arrived. They go above and beyond to make the stay as comfortable as possible. When I got sick during the stay, they immediatley wanted to help and even offered to go to the pharmacy or bring me to the hospital (neither of which was required). The rooms are really spacious with a super big and comfy bed. There is also a warm water shower. We also had our laundry done there. Everything was neatly organised and clean. Big bonus points! The location is great as well. Not too much noise and a beautiful view. The breakfast looked nice as well (eventhough I was too sick to eat).

The only minus point I can give is the water pressure. But in my opinion, hot water is more important than water pressure.

Good location

The smell in the was terrible, don’t know if only our room was like that, but it was awful, we kept our bags and clothes outside just to avoid the smell. Also bathroom wasn’t the best, looked like there were two leeches on the walls, anyway, not the best thing to see when showering, and there was mold

The pictures don’t do it justice! This is the nicest stay we have had in Sri Lanka. The views from your room are incredible, it is so peaceful and quiet. The room is beautiful and very comfortable. They give you lots of pillows and lots of space in the room. The staff were so kind and they bought us tea and cake (the most delicious cake I’ve had in Sri Lanka!). The breakfast was delicious and very filling and changed each day. Our favourite stay so far.

It was one of the best places we stayed during our 5 week trip around Sri Lanka-certainly the best value for money. The hosts were so welcoming and very friendly. Breakfast was lovley and v generous - they took especial care to make sure they catered for me as a coeliac, with different traditional Sri Lankan food each day. The room was big and the bed v comfortable. Beautiful views and close to 9 arch Bridge and Little Adams Peak.

It was all great.

This was probably our favourite stay in Sri Lanka, run by a family that is kind, welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was delicious with a great view, and we could always ask for the tea on the balcony. Location is great - near 9 arch bridge and little Adam's peak, very quiet and the walk to the centre isn't bad.

There was some problem with hot water, but other than that great

Everything

Very clean, spacious rooms. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast tasty with a nice view and we also had dinner one evening which was really good. Quiet location with a 15 minute walk to Ella city. We did our laundry with the host and it came back perfectly, smelt great and folded nicely. Good prices.

Everything good apart from after showering the drains can smell a bit.. maybe to be checked. Hot water was lukewarm sadly.

The best breakfast we had in Sri Lanka, huge bed, very nice host, the best view, far away from noise, everything was great!

A little far from city centre but close to the little Adam’s peak and nine arch bridge

Amazing location near little adams peak and nine arch bridge.walking distance to ella city.quiet place.the breakfast is so delicious and tasty.the room is spacious and with beautiful view.

Super Clean, amazing view, Breakfast was perfect!

Little difficult to find ( need to go down à small ramp that is not well signaled)

The breakfast was huge and delicious. The owner and her daughter treated me like family. I had a nice big room with a big bed, comfortable couches and a table for my eating area. The view outside was beautiful of tea leaves and trees. I was given a free bottle of water. There place is walking distance to the Nine Arches bridge and little Adams Peak. The owner dropped me off with his tuk tuk when I was leaving.

The stairs from the road to the room was very steep.

We totally recommend this place, the room is spacious and with wonderful views. Breakfast is the best part of this place, and if you pay extra, they also prepare a meal that we highly recommend. The family welcomed us with great attention and quality that made it hard to leave this guesthouse.

It's a wonderful place to stay. Breakfasts were so tasty, dinner (was provided for additional payment) was delicious as well. The hotel is near Little Adam's peak and bridge. I really recommend staying in this place.

Everything was wonderful

Perfect location near little Adams peak and nine arch bridge and within walking distance to Ella main street. Personally I much preferred being away from the busy town in a quieter location with a gorgeous view. The free breakfast was amazing and very delicious and the room was clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this place
