Bliss In Viya

Our host was lovely and made our stay so easy - he organised Tuktuks for us and a scooter to rent! Breakfast was also delicious and it was so special to have it looking at the gorgeous view of the valley and waterfall.

Nothing - the room is a bit damp but I understand that is normal in Ella

The view to waterfall was absolutely beautiful.

Not much luxury - it’s a gi e place to stay for a few days

Lovely location, amazing view, rooms stinking of mould. The owner very nice, food overpriced

The staff is amazing, no other way to put it. The views were top notch and the breakfast on the balcony was lovely

Beautiful view. Yum breakfast. Hot water in shower. Quiet and peaceful location. Friendly helpful staff, although the staff were often hanging around so didnt feel very private.

Road out to the accomm is very poor and as a result tuktuks are 2-3x the price (approx 1000rupees to town centre) so have to factor that in. There was no squeegee in the bathroom and windows is covered so the floor is constantly wet and mold all over ceiling. The biggest problem in this accom which seems to be a common issue in Ella is the dampness. The bedding was damp and my bag became so damp that my paper documents all became soggy. I would happily pay a little more if this place included a dehumidifier. No aircon but a fan was sufficient for cooling. The balcony gets good sunshine but the room doesnt get any sunshine.

The view was amazing! Yes its out of town ( but the town isnt worth it,the view is!!) and the owner goes above and beyond to take you down the hill and up with his tuk tuk any time and even take you on tours! It was one of my fav stays in srilanka the view and breakfast was just unbeatable truly.

Nothing

Great host, calm place, simple and nice clean room, great ratio quality price. The 2 restaurants: Ella savory havens restaurant and Garden view restaurant are next to the location and best food we had in Sri Lanka !

A bit far from the center but worth it

The location is amazing—I don’t think I’ve ever slept in a better place than this. I was right in the heart of nature, far from traffic and the city center. There’s a stunning waterfall right in front, and birds sing all day long, including MANY peacocks. The owner and his brother are fantastic—always available and doing their best to help. I had a medical issue during my vacation, and they were incredibly kind and helpful. I truly appreciated it.
