“Lovely stay, great value and excellent service.”
Very well located - close to the city centre with shortcut across the tracks. Andy the owner was always on hand and gave us local recommendations and pathways to do all the activities Ella had to offer. Very nice views out the rooms.

“Absolutely wonderful”
We had a wonderful stay at V Ella Guesthouse. The location was perfect, within walking distance of the center of Ella, yet surrounded by beautiful nature and peace. The views were absolutely amazing, with stunning sights of both Adam's Peak and Little Adam's Peak. The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful. They really took the time to think along with us about our travel planning and gave great advice for our stay in Ella. The breakfast was delicious, especially the fresh fruit smoothie every morning. The room was clean and comfortable! We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

Very sweet guesthouse with a lovely family, where I stayed for 3 nights. Great breakfast. Location is about a 15 min walk out of town which I didn’t mind, felt safe walking home at night and was up early doing hikes.

“Home from Home , comfortable, quiet, idyllic a gem of an home stay . You are looked after from the minute you arrive wi”
A gem of an homestay with stunning views of Ella rock and Little Adam's peak. The room was immaculate with outside seating area to enjoy the views and wildlife. Andy and his family were so helpful. Breakfast was delicious leaving you energised for the day. They made us feel part of the family and went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. We decided to have an evening meal cooked for us by Andy's wife which was delicious and beyond our expectations. It was more of a banquet. The location is in a quiet area only a 10 min walk to the Main Street. Andy provides you with short cut which takes you across the rail way lines which makes the journey to town interesting. Andy also provides a reasonably priced Tuk Tuk service. We cannot recommend this homestay enough.

“Wonderful”
Excellent home stay just outside Ella but within easy walking distance to town. Andy and family are so kind and helpful. We had a lovely stay watching birds and monkeys from the balcony with a beautiful view. Andy also took us on a great day trip to the attractions around town. Highly recommended!

“Stunning views from a perfect homestay”
A beautiful homestay in the mountains with a stunning view. The room was immaculate and provided water, kettle and tea/coffee. The 3 rooms available have a seating area outside each room which allows you to enjoy the spectacular scenery and wildlife too. Andy and his family are wonderful hosts and breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Andy has a tuk tuk which you can pay him to take you to the surrounding beauty spots. I used this service to take me to Little Adam’s peak where he waited and brought me back and to drop me to the walking route for Nine Arches. The short cut into town along the train track is also very near by. If you want to be surrounded by beauty and away from the hustle and bustle of town then this is a perfect spot.

“Great place with great hosts”
The place is very nice and in a great location with amazing views. It's a bit further from the city noise, but there are good restaurants nearby and you can still walk everywhere. Breakfast was amazing, with great views and monkeys and birds all around. The host, Andy, is very nice and kind and a genuinely good human being. I really enjoyed my stay there

“Amazing senic stay in Ella!”
We spent 4 nights here and absolutely loved it! The view from the balcony was incredible and had a great sense of privacy. Everyday the breakfast was different and equally good and allowed us to eat different authentic Sri Lankan foods. The family were lovely and even did our laundry (for a small added fee) and drove us around Ella. Definitely recommend and a short walk (few hills) to the main town and railway towards Ella’s rock!

“The best place in Ella”
We spent New Year’s Eve here and it was the best place we’ve stayed in Sri Lanka. It’s absolutely outstanding. Andy and his family are incredible people and will help you with anything. Andy took us everywhere we wanted to go in Ella in his tuktuk and waited for us so we had a return tuktuk as well. The room itself is spotlessly clean with a huge comfortable bed, fridge, kettle and gorgeous hot water shower. The breakfasts that the family prepared for us were delicious as well. The view is stunning and it’s only a short walk into town by following the train track. I can highly recommend this property and you must stay here when visiting Ella! There’s no where better!!

“Super family run business up from the main town.”
Small family run business. Andy, his wife and parents would help with anything you wanted. Only 3 rooms. Well appointed. Breakfast served on your patio if you wanted it there. Stunning views. Peaceful location. Tuk tuk service available down to the town. 1000 LKR return.

“Peaceful and great value. Helpful hosts.”
Breakfast was good and filling. Location had a great view from the terrace. Andy the host was very helpful, they have a tuktuk service which is very reasonably priced compared to the local tuktuks. We used the service to get to the monastery where we attended the evening meditation.
