The location was lovely, across from the waterfall, and close to the start of Ella Rock trail. If you want a little secluded cabin in the wilderness, this is the place. We had incredible breakfast every morning, and they were so helpful and provided transport to town whenever we wanted. The service was outstanding and always with a smile! Highly recommend this place.

This is an amazing place in every way. First of all, the guys who work there are amazing, very helpful, great cooks, they take care of the place and the people. We arrived very late, around 9pm, and it was no problem for them and they cooked us dinner. In addition, this beautiful balcony with a wonderful view and the sounds of nature in the evening. We sat on the balcony until late in the evening. I highly recommend this place. I will definitely stay there when I am in Sri Lanka.

Amazing value for money. We had the family room which is huge with a beautiful, big balcony. Go for it even if you are only 2 people. The family who owns rhe guesthouse are amazing people. We celebrated the new year with them and we had a good fun time. Especially the owner’s brother is the best guy and he made us feel like at home. The breakfast is also great and huge, we couldnt finish it. We have also used the laundry service which was very convenient and cheap.

Everything, like Everything is perfect, especially the fact that it is quiet at night (no dogs barking, club sounds, religious broadcasts). And the climb up and down to town is not as exhausting as some other places. There are many thoughtful details in the room and service and best of all is the private veranda with the great views.

It was a lovely stay! The family was really nice, friendly and helpful. They provided us with useful information such as bus timetable and what to visit around Ella. We even got a ride to another city for free and because of the rain, they borrowed us umbrellas. The breakfast was delicious.

    we were flabbergasted by the view at ella gap from the rooftop. crew was amazingly helpful. they drove our tuktuk up to the guesthouse because we didn’t dare to drive the steep hill. hilltop is away from the busy and loud mainstreet. superquiet allthough 5 minutes from the centre. our host gave us the perfect advice to get around.

    Really great location just up from the high street in quiet area. Pleasant terrace outside room with place to relax. Good hot shower with good pressure. Large bed and friendly host who offered lots of travel advice. No aircon in room, but air cooler in room was sufficient

    nice host surely there would be a charming view, unfortunately there was heavy fog during our stay you could hear music and parties in the city center but it was quiet in the hotel :))
