I highly recommend this place! The biggest highlight is the wonderful host. The breakfast is delicious and filling – enough energy to climb all the mountains! The rooms are clean, the bed is comfortable, and the view from the balcony is absolutely stunning.

This is a perfect stay for me because it stays away from all the crowds and noise in the city center. Walking distance is 20 mins from the train station which I think is a decent walk. Beautiful scenery in the way. I only took tuktuk when I was with my luggage. The breakfast is amusing and you can also have dinner for a very reasonable price. The family is very kind and helpful. I would highly recommend to stay here if you come to Ella.

If you're looking to get away from the busy town and want to go hiking to Ella Rock or visit the waterfalls, this is an awesome place to stay! You can hear the sounds of nature, see the waterfall, and even spot some wild birds from here. The place is well-equipped with essentials like shampoo and body wash. Breakfast is a big Western-style meal—really filling and tasty. Even though it’s a bit off the main road, getting a tuk tuk is super easy anytime, so getting around isn’t a problem. The two hosts are super friendly and full of energy—really appreciate their great service!

Magical peaceful space set about 2k from the city of Ella, with a short tuck tuck ride to the city centre. A family run business who was so kind and nice. A big, healthy breakfast. A large double room with a big private balcony. Really comfortable bed. Would highly recommend for people who don't want to be in the madness and loudness of Ella. The owner arranged everything for us. He even recommended a lovely restaurant and dropped us to the door.

Gorgeous place, so modern and the view's amazing! Felt so comfy and relaxed after that long drive. Peaceful and quiet, but just a 15-minute stroll to Ella town. The host was super friendly and helpful, and breakfast was great. She even packed us an awesome breakfast to go when we had to leave early for our train!

Gihan (the hostel owner) is one of the best guys we met in Sri Lanka! Very hospitable, helpful, friendly and honest. He loves his job, it's his passion. Be sure to book a room in his hostel, you won't regret it. He will help you with anything, give you good tips, he'll tell you what prices are appropriate so that you do not get cheated out of money by taxi drivers, etc. He really is a gem ;-)
