Our stay at Ella Barn Hills was absolutely wonderful! Finding accommodation with such a breathtaking view at this price is truly rare. The owner was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive, always ensuring our needs were met. Her husband was also fantastic—whenever we needed a ride to the town center, he offered transport at non-touristy prices, making our stay even more convenient. One of the highlights was the possibility to get drinking water directly from the property, which was a great bonus. The breakfast, lovingly prepared even in the early morning hours, was simply delicious, and enjoying it with a view of the Nine Arch Bridge made it even more special. Additionally, they were very helpful in arranging transport to farther locations and giving great local recommendations. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for accommodation in Ella. You won’t be disappointed!

Nethsara cottage is absolutely gorgeous - beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and in a rural, quiet spot in the hills above Ella. Delicious breakfasts are served on the balcony that has amazing views of the valley and the Mahamevnawa Monastery in the distance. Madusha is a lovely host, organising tuktuks on our request. We were so sad to leave and couldn’t recommend it more!

Our hosts went out of their way to make sure we were looked after. The cottage is basic but excellent for the price and has everything you need. The view is spectacular and quiet, as we did not want to be in Ella central which is too noisy. The cottage is an eight minute tuk tuk ride to town, with the host lifting us everywhere, plus took us to the start of the sunrise hike. And they made us the best breakfast in sri lanka. Also don't miss walking down to Bees Honey for a meal.

Absolutely beautiful hotel, in a fantastic setting amongst the trees. The staff were incredibly warm and friendly, and helpful whenever needed. The rooms were spotless and very stylish. The hotel is a short walk into the busyness of Ella town centre, or quick Tuk Tuk ride from the hotel neighbour who is always on hand for a simple flat fee. Superb place.

We had a fantastic time here. A lovely place just outside the busy center of Ella. The rooms are fantastic and have great views of the area and from your bed you can see the sun rise in the morning ! But above all, the owners are fantastic. Really enjoyed the cooking class as well. It hurt to leave.

Away from the hustle of town and up on a beautiful quiet ridge with a stunning sunrise and sunset view. A new cabin, nicely fitted out with a separate upstairs for our daughter to sleep. Kind hosts who helped us with bags from the station when it poured with rain. And a tasty and generous breakfast.

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.
