I highly recommend it! A cozy room with a stunning view and excellent service. The hostess is incredibly welcoming: she's always willing to help and serves delicious, filling breakfasts. You can also order lunch or dinner for an additional fee—they're just as good as restaurant meals in terms of taste and presentation, and the price is a pleasant surprise. We spent four days here and didn't want to leave. The surrounding nature is stunning: mountains, forests, and waterfalls. We'll definitely be back!

We stayed here for three unforgettable days, completely immersed in nature. Waking up to this breathtaking view, surrounded by greenery and watching monkeys play freely around the house, felt truly magical. The breakfasts were exceptional honestly the best we had in all of Sri Lanka. Every morning was a surprise, different, homemade, generous, and prepared with so much care and love. The hostess is an incredibly warm and kind person. Always smiling, attentive, and full of great advice, she made us feel at home from the very first moment. The room is full of charm, authentic, cozy, and perfectly in harmony with the natural surroundings. This place is not just a homestay, it’s an experience. We will carry these moments with us for a long time and would return without hesitation.

It was located up in a calm mountainous area with a beautiful view from the balcony. The walls are made in a kind of cobblestone which gives this place a cosy charm. Every morning the hostess gave us a Sri Lankan style breakfast making us ready for the day.

“Come as a stranger, leave as a friend”
Cozy rooms with an incredible view at all times (especially during sunset and sunrise!). Water is hot, mosquito nets are intact and the breakfast was incredible! We stayed for two nights and had one western, and one Sri Lankan breakfast (we asked if it was possible to have a lokal breakfast) and it was amazing, especially the Sri Lankan breakfast (Stringhoppers with Daal and Coconut sambol) the owner cooks amazing and is such a sweet lady, I would definitely also eat dinner and lunch here! The place is vegan friendly (both breakfasts were vegan, they know what it means and are very eager to give you an amazing meal). My grandmother came with a wheelchair (she can only walk short distances and steps) and everyone was very accommodating, helping us with the wheelchair on the steps at the entrance of the hostel and serving breakfast on the balcony in front of the rooms so she didn’t need to walk up the stairs to the restaurant. You can reach Ella by foot in 20 minutes, and start your hikes to the nine arches bridge, Ella rock and little Adam’s peek from there, we started for the sunrise at 4:20 and were a little early, but we‘re fast walkers :) They also helped us get a taxi when we left for a very reasonable price (less than the pick-me price) All in all an incredible experience, it felt more like leaving a friends house when we left after just two nights, I would definitely recommend staying here.

An amazing place!!! Very clean nice comfortable and with an amazing view. It only has two rooms so it’s kinda private. The hostess is a lovely lady who lives next door and she is also a very good cook! Very friendly and she helped us a lot with different info.

“Perfect Homestay with a lovely host.”
This was a beautiful property overlooking the forest and Ella Rock beyond. It was so peaceful and our host, Lucky, was so kind. She welcomed us with cups of tea and made fantastic breakfasts for us and even at 5:45 on the day we were leaving to catch the train.

Lucky is a wonderful host! The breakfast was delicious and the place is located in a wonderful area in front of Ella rock! It's wonderful waking up with the sound of the birds and nature. She was extremely useful helping us to find non touristic places and accommodating us.

Everything was amazing. The room was very nice, Lucky has been the greatest host. We spent 2 nights in Ella and she cooked us two different (and super delicious) Sri Lankan style breakfasts. She also made us a tasty soup the day we arrived.

Really picturesque house on the side of a hill right in font of Ella rock. Calm and appeasing environment slightly out of Ella. Great effort on decoration to make the place truly unique. The best food I had in a 3 weeks stay in Sri Lanka. The host and her family are also very touching. Great value for money.
