I had a great stay thanks to the host who was really nice and thoughtful. The breakfast was big and very tasty - especially the pancakes. The room was nice and clean and the WiFi worked well which allowed me to work that didn't happen often in Sri Lanka! Ella is a town located in the mountains so I don't really understand people complaining about the location. For me it was great! Close to the waterfall trail and Ella Rock trail, quiet, with spectacular views on the way to or from the centre which btw took me 15-20 minutes on foot. If you go to Ella for hiking and wanna see a stunning sunset or sunrise - choose Ella Sunrise.

The apartment is located about 15 minutes by foot from the town center and is a very picturesque walk. The room and bathroom are quite spacious. The view from the big balcony is amazing (waterfalls!).

Lovely home stay. We had delicious breakfast every day. Beds are very comfortable and with the fan you can stay cool enough at night. Location is great (to get in to town you can walk up the road then along the rail track as a shortcut- about 15 min walk) a bit further out of town but nice and quiet ! Definitely recommend Matey’s hut for food, and going to the Buddhist Monestary - both spectacular. Thank you for a wonderful stay🙌

Great view and abundant breakfast, nice service. The garden and the nature around are stunning. The toilet is modern and there's hot water. We were alone there as we got the only room on the floor up their house, it's nice to be on the balcony having breakfast and looking at the nature around.

Bugs can come in from under the door so we had a couple big ones. The road to get there is bumpy and it feels a bit far. The thick blanket for the night didn't seem fresh.

The owner is lovely and she makes great breakfasts too. Dinner is available on request. Easy access and very peaceful. It's maybe a 15 minute walk to Ella centre. Once you reach the railway tracks if you cut along them it's a good short cut. Don't worry everyone walks along the tracks here. And it's also a very nice and pretty walk. As with anywhere outside of Ella centre you'll need your phone's torch if you're walking at night as there's not much street lighting. If you ask the owner she can show you a different short cut along the tracks to Ella rock too! There are two rooms. Downstairs is a nice budget room and upstairs is a very spacious family room with a great balcony.

All good.

The host is very discret and nice. She cooked a nice and good priced chicken rice and curry for dinner. Breakfast was ok. The room is big, no aircon. The matresses are super comfy. The shower is big, clean with hot water. You are in the middle of the jungle with all the nature noise, the monkeys playing in the trees, the squirrels and birds all around. Walkable distance from the bus stand and all the restaurants/shops...(we did it with 2 young kids so it's doable for everybody!)

If i had known i would have stayed longer. The breakfast could be a little bit "more"...

This is a really lovely homestay! It is clean and comfortable and a wonderful haven oasis in the jungle, away from the hectic main road of Ella town. This is not a 5* luxury hotel, it's a clean and comfortable room part of a family's home. It is a little walk - 20 minutes on hilly bumpy road - from the main town, but for me it was perfect. You are already on the way to climb ella rock! I really enjoyed my stay here.

Fantastic value for money! Great breakfast. Spacious room with everything supplied. Really lovely host who was easy to communicate with. Highly recommended. It is about 1.5km walk along waterfall road to town down a quiet street - we really enjoyed the walk - but it might not be for everyone. We also did a lovely walk along the train line (from just near the homestay) to the waterfall. Would definitely stay again.

It was such a sweet family, and the lady makes a big and lovely breakfast. They are more than happy to help you if you need anything. The room was quiet and had a mosquito net, which was needed.

I was a bit far up in the hill, and the road was bumpy and dark so you couldn’t walk to the city by yourself, you needed to book a car or tuktuk. But it was alright.

Very nice and positive family, smiling all the time. Very helpful and supportive. They arranged for us really nice tuktuk trip to tea factory and njne arch bridge - we really recommend it! Delicious breakfast and laundry. They help us to navigate to Ella rose and other sites. Thanks you for such positive stay!

Leaking sink in toilet, which was repaired, but still water was leaking.
