Our host was incredibly hospitable and went out of his way to meet our every want and need. He drove us and picked us up, suggested activities, and helped us out in an emergency when we needed to go to the local hospital. The rooms boast amazing views of the jungle, which is full of fireflies at night. They also have a projector so you can stream entertainment of your choice. 10/10 I strongly recommend Fern Hill cabins for your stay in Ella.

Nethsara cottage was our the best stay in Sri Lanka. Everything is exactly as it is shown in photos. The view from terrace is stunning, breakfast delicious. Combination of these two gives you amazing time! Last but not least, host is super nice, she helped us to arrange morning transfer to the station. I highly recommend this place!

We loved our stay at Ella Breeze Homestay and highly recommend it - it is about 20-25 minutes away from Ella center (by TukTuk), surrounded by beautiful nature, all quiet, peaceful and relaxing (we traveled with our own Tuk Tuk, which we could park at the homestay). The whole family was really nice and caring - we enjoyed different, nice breakfasts and also the optional homecooked dinner was absolutely great. We got so many tips from our host, including a self-drawn map to Ella Rock, so you can start your walk to Ella Rock directly from the homestay. We also loved the tea factory tour, which was really authentical and gave us deep insights into the world of tea and the manual work of tea production. You can watch the train go by a few times a day, which is also nice. Thanks for the good conversations, the helpful tips around the area and the great food :)

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.

The chef was very accommodating for special requests at breakfast. Also the yoga class was excellent and the studio itself was beautifully set in the jungle with all of the sounds of the birds and the waterfall making for a very special experience! :-)

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.
