The location is great and so is the cleanliness of the property, the staff are lovely and it is a wonderful breakfast! Also there is the opportunity to use their Tuktuk service which I would highly recommend!

Friendly people, they can arrange a tuk-tuk or taxi. Great breakfast. Highly recommended!

Very clean and the owners super helpful and friendly! Breakfast was delicious too…

“I would highly recommend this stay. It was unbelievable”

Unbelievable clean and comfortable. They had hot water and a comfy bed. The people were super friendly and had a tuk tuk available which we used

“Perfect place to stay in Ella - one of our best stays in Sri Lanka”

The setting is so peaceful and the family who runs it are lovely. The breakfast was lovely and the family has a tuktuk and can take you places. We slept so well here!

“Excellent hosts, great breakfast. Nothing a bother.”

Quiet and excellent hosts. Nothing was a bother. Comfy bed and great fan. Excellent breakfast - always so much food. Our host also helped out with laundry which was really reasonably priced.

“Quaint genuine Homestay”

The host couple are lovely people and this is a proper Homestay. The breakfast was top quality and served in your own private patio. Easy walk to town.

“Would LOVE to stay again!”

This is the PERFECT place to stay in Ella. A lovely room, amazing breakfast and the hosts are so helpful, friendly and kind. Would absolutely recommend this as a place to stay - 5 minutes walk from the town and so peaceful!

“An ideal homestay in Ella”

This is the second homestay of our trip and again we had such a homely experience. The host kindly picked us up from the train station and dropped us off at the bus stop when we left. We were greeted with fresh coffee and cake on arrival. The room was very clean and had everything we needed including fridge, kettle and hairdryer. The bed was comfortable and bedding and towels of high quality. Breakfast each morning was tasty, varied and generous. A lovely, friendly family who really care about what they do and do their best in every way. Good communication and able to answer questions regarding buses etc. The location was ideal for us too. A short walk to numerous bars, restaurants and shops. Also walkable to Little Adam’s Peak and Nine Arch Bridge. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this place

“Please come, lovely place and great value”

Lovely location, owner was so friendly, made us breakfast when we wanted it, helped with transport and allowed us to keep our bags with her until we returned to check out.

“Great location, very friendly family!”

“A comfy home stay in Ella”

I spent two nights at this very comfortable home stay just a short walk from the centre of Ella. The host family was lovely and sweet, and the homemade breakfast was tasty. The room was on the smaller side but this was not a problem at all, and the bed was comfy. The place was great value for money and I would happily stay there again!

Great, quiet location with lovely welcoming family and everything you need

Absolutely fabulous, the room very clean, in front of the room is like you are stepping in a little garden, the family is amazing, attentive at any requests you might have, v ery helpful if you need anything, my partner was sick and they took good care of her, they have a tuck tuck and they organize trips around Ella at any time you want, the breakfast was delicious and location 5 min walk from the main street. This was the best acomodation we had in Sri Lanka.

Decent location

We loved our stay here! Our hosts were so hospitable and helpful, and their daughter is adorable. The breakfasts were amazing, they made us tea to help with some colds we had picked up and even dropped us at the railways station when we were leaving. Couldn’t recommend staying here enough.

“Quiet, comfortable haven close to the centre of Ella”

Beautifully clean, best breakfast we had in all of Sri Lanka and very helpful access to tuk tuk to get us - and luggage - up the hill to the property and around the area. Owner was very friendly and helpful.

“You can enjoy connecting with warm-hearted people.”

It’s a lovely guesthouse surrounded by the beautiful nature of Ella. I received so much help from the host. Right after I arrived, I was warmly welcomed with delicious tea and pound cake, which made me feel truly satisfied. She also kindly arranged all the details for my return bus, which I deeply appreciated. Most of all, spending time playing with her adorable daughter became a very special memory for me. I’m truly grateful from the bottom of my heart. If you are visiting Ella, I highly recommend staying at this guesthouse.

“Too High Price for what you get”

We had 3 x nights at Home Stay Ella early Sept, charged just over 41usd/night inc basic breakfast. After staying at many homestay b4 in Sri Lanka for 1/2 price we had high hopes. There is nowhere comfy to sit outside, only table & chairs used for brekky with no cushions. This only leaves the bed to sit on. Owner moved our washing multiple times & plumbing pipe in bathroom came off twice splashing dirty water everywhere. Nearly slipped over in bathroom shower area which is wet. The saving grace is Murunga cafe next door for fab food/drinks & were driven to train station

I spent two nights at Home Away Ella and had an amazing experience. Sachintha provided excellent recommendations for things to do in the area, her husband kindly picked me up from the train station and dropped me off at the bus stop, and the home-cooked breakfasts were absolutely delicious. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, with thoughtful amenities including an iron and tea/coffee facilities — it truly exceeded my expectations. Sachintha and her husband went above and beyond to take care of their guests. I would highly recommend this homestay to anyone visiting Ella and the surrounding area. Thank you, Sachintha, and to your beautiful family, for welcoming me into your lovely homestay and for your incredible hospitality! I hope to visit again soon.
