Everything ! The view, the fact that it was in a guest house with a really nice familiy ! They can help you with the tuktuk to go up to the main Road as the guest house is situated in the nature. The breakfast was really good! Don’t hesitate to book 💚

Very nice and clean accommodation with a great terrace and view. The accommodation looks relatively new and very well made. The beds are very comfortable and there is even hot water in the shower if you wait a bit. Breakfast was very large, varied and delicious, the owners even cater to individual wishes and are very kind. One of the best accommodations we have stayed in Sri Lanka!

We had a amazing stay here, the rooms are very new, good water pressure and very clean. You can enjoy a nice view from the balcony. The owner is a great host, and loves to show you around his garden, and have a good chat with you. Definitely recommend this place. Thank you again for the unforgettable stay!

The place is so peaceful and serene. We loved the bed in the trees for relaxing! It is in a great location, just a short tuk tuk ride from Ella town and other main attractions. The staff are great - particularly Suren who made our stay.

From

Ireland

A wonderful stay here - the good reviews are completely justified. The view is jaw dropping from the comfy balcony. It is well worth it to stay here out of the noise of Ella and be able to look at it from the hills. They also provide a tuk tuk service into town for very reasonable. The family was wonderfully relaxed and friendly while still helping you with anything you need (and they collect you from the train station!). The dinner here was the best we had during our 2 weeks in Sri Lanka - don’t skip it!

From

Austria

The breakfast was amazing. We could choose from different menus, Sri Lankan and continental, and had everything we need. The Treehouse was perfectly decorated, had a great view and was very spacious. All the trees around gave us a real jungle feeling! The staff was amazing and helped us out with everything. The yoga class was easy to book and we enjoyed it very much, especially the view during the yoga session! We had our own Wi-Fi router in the villa so it worked without problems. Would definitely recommend this hotel for a great stay in Ella!

Clara

From

Spain

This has been our best stay in Sri Lanka without doubt. Renu is an incredibly inspiring woman, mother and co-owner who will do everything in her power to make your stay intimate, comfortable and convenient. She puts an umbrella in front of your door when it rains; she looks out the window to see how far you are to prepare breakfast; she brings everything to your table and removes it quietly. Not to mention the room, with its high double roofed ceiling that makes you feel like you’re in a nest on a treetop. It’s spacious, spotless clean (no sign of dump despite daily rain in Ella) and everything works perfectly, even though it’s literally a hanging cottage. The view from the bed/balcony is breathtaking and different every day, and you even see the famous train passing at your feet. DIGITAL NOMADS: we had quite good wifi, enough for videocalls most times of the day, but bring a sim card with data just in case.

The Spice Lodge is a special place located within walking distance to Ella center. The family that runs the lodge are the kindest, most helpful people. The breakfast was delicious, and the dinner we had was the best curry we had on our trip. Highly recommended lodging.
