“Home.”

The best place I stayed in in 4 months of travelling! Amazing room, super comfortable beds and pillows, proper working, beautiful bathroom. Great balcony/terrace with view (1st floor) and the (in my case sri lankan) breakfast was simply delicious and changing from day to day. 110% recommended!

“Parfait !”

From the welcome and cleanliness to the service and breakfast, everything was perfect. Thank you again for your hospitality. Julien.

Super friendly. Great location.

The location was great! In the main Ella area in just a few minutes walking, but peaceful far enough from the noisy center. I could hear just birds when waking up. Beside the hotel there's a bar where a had my dinners with an breath taking view of the valley. The host is very kind, and the breakfast are amazing. The bed was comfy and the shower had hot water! If I go back to Ella, I'll definitely stay here again

Lonely host, nice clean room. Excellent breakfast and even a hairdryer!

“Great stay with amazing breakfast”

The breakfast was delicious and made a great start to every day. The location is also very convenient such that you can walk everywhere. Our host also helped us with things such as organising a driver to the next location.

Super nice owner, very good breakfast

That is so clean! Smell so good! SO GOOD The owner is very nice! Breakfast is really good! Hot shower Quiet place n’est the center

“Fantastic homestay experience right in the heart of Ella. Can’t recommend highly enough”

This was the 4th property we’ve stayed at in Sri Lanka and quite possibly our favourite. The host is such a lovely person, her warm smile made our mornings - equalled only by the amazing home made breakfasts she served. Honestly, my wife and I cannot recommend this homestay highly enough.

“Good price to quality ratio & a fantastic host”

The homestay was really well located for the sightseeing that we wanted to do. The room was very big and the beds really comfortable. The owner was super sweet, very accommodating and helped us with tips and advice for our trip. The breakfast was traditional local breakfast, big portions and really fresh. The owner helped us also pack in takeaway boxes the leftovers for our day trips. It was really nice to have an own balcony and enjoy the food there. Overall the homestay was really clean and comfortable.

Lovely setting outside space for breakfast. Quiet area 7 mins walk and your in the busy town. Lovely lady running family guest house, great breakfast

“Clean, spacious- can be stuffy at night.”

The room was very well maintained and spacious, clean bathroom. Thoughtfully prepared room, with travel adapters. It's just about 10-15 minutes walk from the main road and lots of restaurants, supermarkets and all amenities close by.

“It feels like home. Extremely relaxing place surrounded by nature”

Very peaceful place, you have the impression of being at home. The owner is always very kind, discreet and super nice and has always a big smile. Place is also clean, rustic and even being in the middle of nature and very quiet is only 10 minutes away by walking from main street(super chaotic). At mellow homestay you will feel far away from everything and feel sorry to leave for how calm and relaxing it is. We had the room upstairs, it feels for sure more private and secluded. There is no air con but there is no need as Ella is not hot. During the night its 22 degrees celsius as it is at 1000 metres above sea level. Writing this review from nuwara eliya where presently it's raining non stop and it's 15 degrees celsius sigh(1880 metres above sea level). Ella in this period, instead, is very dry(no rain) Breakfast at mellow homestay is also very good and full of fruit among the other things. Mellow homsestay is also walking distance from the nine arches bridge path and not that far from Little Adam's peak.

Very good location. Neighbours provide tuktuk ride and laundry services. Clean facility. Super breakfast! Value for money

Super friendly host, warm and welcoming, great breakfast

Quiet and lovely little homestay with the sweetest, genuine and generous host. The room had all the comfort you need and the homecooked breakfast was the best we had in Sri Lanka. We will remember this place dearly.

Beautiful room in best location for the famous sights. Very loving and caring family with amazing Sri Lankan breakfast. Unique experience

“Great place just a 10min walk to the main street of Ella”

We had a nice stay at Mellow! Pretty quiet place just outside the buzz of Ella. Breakfasts were superb, the best ones we had during our trip in Sri Lanka. The room was clean yet good value for what you pay.

“Special Town and special homestay”

Fantastic room in this Homestay with the most amazing view of Ella rock. The family that run it are delightful and the breakfast was great. Especially the tea. Could not recommend this place more!

“Peaceful oasis with wonderful food”

This homestay is in a very peaceful area, a short walk away from the busy centre of Ella. The host made us feel very welcome and went out of her way to help us. The room is light, comfortable and very clean with a very pleasant shady terrace with many plants. We had breakfast and dinner most days and the food was delicious. All freshly prepared by our host, in very generous quantities with a variety of Sri Lankan dishes. It was very nice after a busy day to have dinner served on your private terrace! The homestay is a great place to relax and unwind and the host and her family are very friendly and helpful but not intrusive. There is also a very reasonably priced laundry service.
