The best stay in my almost 3 months time in Sri Lanka! Mithula and Prakash go above and beyond to give the guests the best possible experience, always with their biggest smiles. The breakfast is the most delicious local food I had, the rooms are super clean, very spacious, bright and with a dream view balcony in the middle of nature & paddy fields. You can drive to town in 5 minutes if you have a scooter, Mitha can arrange a TukTuk, or just walk along the beautiful tea plantations in 20 minutes. Mitha is very passionate about his country, showed me around and learned me so much about the local culture. We went on great adventures and became friends. I will miss you 2 and Ella but we will meet again! Bohoma sthuthi!

This guesthouse in Ella was an absolute gem! From the moment I arrived, I felt incredibly welcomed and cared for. My room was spacious, had a great resting area with a sofa and armchairs, and offered a stunning view. What truly made this stay exceptional, however, was the host's incredible hospitality. He went above and beyond to ensure I had a wonderful experience. He picked me up from the train station upon my arrival and even offered me rides on his motorbike throughout my stay, whether it was to the main town or back to the guesthouse. His local knowledge was invaluable, offering excellent recommendations for things to see and do in the area. He even treated me to a delicious breakfast one morning and always made sure I had access to tea and coffee. When I got a bit ill, he showed genuine concern and even got me some Ayurvedic medicine, refusing any payment for. At the end of my stay he dropped me off at the bus stop and made sure I boarded the correct bus for my onward journey. The guesthouse is conveniently located just a 20-25 minute walk from the heart of Ella, making it easily accessible even without your own transport. The peaceful and quiet surroundings ensured a restful stay. I cannot recommend this guesthouse highly enough!

This was definitely our best hotel during our 3 week trip in Sri Lanka!!! It’s probably not the most central location in Ella but Mithula and his team will take THE best care of you! My parents had A LOT of requests and they helped us with everything and were super kind - like organising TukTuks, booking bus tickets for us, figuring out hiking routes, massage advices, making dinner etc…. And because Ella is so busy we really enjoyed the peaceful rice fields on our big terraces as well as the rooms which are super big and comfortable. I can recommend this hotel - which feels like a home - from the bottom of my heart! Thank you Mithula for all your help and laughter

Nothing!

My partner and I recently stayed at Ella Ayubo, and it was truly an exceptional experience. The location is stunningly beautiful, offering breathtaking views. The hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The room was spacious and romantic, perfect for a peaceful getaway. The service was outstanding, and we were particularly impressed by the delicious Sri Lankan breakfast—undoubtedly the best we’ve had during our time in Sri Lanka. I highly recommend this place for anyone seeking a serene and memorable stay.

Ella Ayubo is conveniently located just 1 km from Ella city center, making it a pleasant 20-minute walk to reach the heart of the town.

We absolutely loved our stay, our hosts were honestly the most helpful and polite people we've experienced on our month-long trip in Sri Lanka. They went above and beyond for us, ensuring our stay was comfortable and even helping us with train tickets at the train station upon leaving! The room itself is excellent, with a great view. The location is perfect, outside the main road of Ella but a short 6 minute drive with a TukTuk. We could not recommend this place enough, 10/10!

We had slight issues with wifi, something to bear in mind if you need to do video calls.

By far, this is the best place I've stayed in Sri Lanka. The room is beautiful, the view is breathtaking. It's a delight to wake up and go to sleep every day embraced by the forest. The location is perfect, very close to the center, but surrounded by nature. The most incredible thing is that, in addition to all the comfort and beauty of this accommodation, it has an extremely attentive staff who are concerned with making our stay the best possible. Mithula is a natural host. Kind, quick and super welcoming. I hope to have the opportunity to stay there again!

My husband and I spent our first night in the heart of Ella city, but unfortunately, the place was too noisy with heavy traffic sounds, leaving us quite disappointed. The next day, we booked a stay at Ella Ayubo, which turned out to be an absolutely stunning location. The people running the place were lovely, brilliant, and incredibly friendly. Our room was spacious and romantic, offering great service, breathtaking views, and the best Sri Lankan breakfast we had during our entire trip. The location was convenient too—just 1km from Ella station, about a 20-minute walk. They also arranged a special dinner for us, featuring a homemade Sri Lankan dish that was simply delicious. What made this place stand out even more was the incredible value for money. For the quality of accommodation, we couldn't believe how affordable it was—there’s no way we could find a room of this standard for the same price anywhere else in Ella. It truly exceeded our expectations and is highly recommended.

At first glance, it may seem like a small business and some might underestimate it, but during our stay, it truly exceeded 5-star standards in every way.

I recently stayed at Ayubo Ella, it was a truly amazing experience. The room is big enough and very very clean, we had everything we need in it. Mithula was the host and he was so welcoming and you will get best hospitality experience in Sri Lanka from his staff. The property is built in nature, and you will experience all the breathtaking views around it. you will see a beautiful paddy field and very calm and quiet place for your relaxation. We were not planning for the breakfast but want to try it after all the positive experiences we had, when we mentioned this to the host he was warm enough to take our request on such short notice and it was one of the best spreads of Sri Lankan Breakfast you will get for the value you pay. Amazing food !! The location is very convenient, its only 1 km from the heart of Ella city and you will not feel walking on it with beautiful scenes. We were told by the host they will have scooters if you want to rent it out, will be one of the best ways to travel for a couple or can hire a tuk tuk or a vehicle with a reasonable price. Would have stayed long if we didn’t had any other holiday plans arranged. Highly recommend for anyone who is looking to stay in Ella.

Amazing my dear one at this hotel was great !!!! The host was sooooo lovely and thought full and accommodating!!!! The view was absolutely breathtaking a lot quieter.

I would not recommend walking from Ella main town to the property in the evening and at night as it is on Bendy and remote roads it’s definitely not a far walk but as a tourist and solo I would recommend getting a motorcycle or car to and from the venue, especially at night

The property is located within a walking distance from the town centre but in the same time the surroundings are so peaceful and quite. Surrounded by lush greenery and the soothing sound of birds singing all day long. It was the perfect escape from the city. Amithula is the best host you can imagine, he is actually more of a friend that a host. He went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home, offering helpful tips about the area. I’ve never felt more welcomed.

Everything was great
