"Mount'n mist"

De ontvangst en hartelijke gastheer en gastvrouw. Geweldige locatie!

De douche bleef koud.

At Mount 'n Mist you get 5 star views and service at homestay prices. The accommodation is located high up in the hills above Elle, but the owner is happy to run you to and from the centre when required. There are a few shops and restaurants 10 minutes walk down the hill. The night we arrived the owners cooked us the best curry and rice we've had so far, and we dined watching the full moon rise. The next morning our son complained about being woken up by the birds singing! This is a lovely place to unwind for a few days.

Famiglia gentilissima e accogliente, puffy dolcissimo. Cena e colazione molto buona

Per arrivare é necessario un tuk tuk perché se avete il driver nessun altra macchina ci arriva perché è molto ripida la strada. Il proprietario ti viene a prendere, ma troverete nel conto addebitato il viaggio.

Tuk tuk ride by the owner up to the property is worth the money alone! Great location up in the hills outside the town. Very peaceful and beautiful with stunning views. Room was basic but fine. Couple running it were lovely and the food was good.

It's a very steep path up to the property and only the owner can take you up on his tuktuk. Great walk down though via the steps & train line

Mount'n mist is the perfect place to truly experience the heart of Sri Lanka – its people, warmth, food, hospitality, and nature. The lovely couple who run the homestay are absolutely wonderful. They go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, always with a warm smile and genuine kindness. The food was a real highlight – both breakfast and dinner were delicious, with plenty of variety and authentic Sri Lankan flavours. Our host also took us around Ella in his tuk-tuk, showing us amazing spots like the Nine Arches Bridge and the tea plantations. He was always cheerful, super helpful, and really knowledgeable about the area. The house itself is cosy, clean, and has everything you need. It's nestled up in the mountains, surrounded by mango and avocado trees – a truly peaceful setting where you fall asleep to the sounds of nature. It’s a really special place, and we’d come back in a heartbeat. Couldn’t recommend it enough!

I liked everything!

The hosts were very friendly. We got our laundry done cheaply and had some great home cooked breakfasts and a dinner. The room was a good size, good hot water perfects balcony, all that you needed.

Nothing about the place. Some of the local tuk tuk drivers refused to go up the road stting it was too steep. But the host had a tuk tuk and navigated it easily.

The family is incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely cares about their guests. They went out of their way to make me comfortable, including changing my sheets and giving me a new room when there was a problem. Their hospitality felt truly heartfelt — I felt cared for like family.

There were a few unexpected issues during my stay, but the family handled them with honesty and kindness, and I could see they were truly sorry. They’re doing their best with what they have, and I really hope they get the support they need to keep improving the property.

The room was cosy and comfortable and the hot water shower was a blessing in the cooler mountains. The hosts were super welcoming and the included breakfast was delicious.

Everything. It exceeded our expectations
