"Lovely rainforest retreat in Ella"

10.0

We loved staying here, the room was very spacious and tidy with everything we needed, and in a beautiful setting amongst the jungle. We found the town centre quite busy, so it was lovely to be able to come down here to escape when we needed. We really loved the walk up/down, it was a great way to get a bit of exercise in between all the delicious food we were eating, and amazing to see fireflies along the road at night! Would definitely come back here next time we are in Ella!

Nothing 😊

The modern like style, it's really a rare find in Sri Lanka. Close to the main road yet quiet and close to nature. We were able to get a late check-in and early check-out. No insects during our 1 night stay, no mold detected Liked the place very much despites of cons. The owner was very nice and provided us with all the necessary info about the room without asking

The toilet outside of the room on the second floor is fine, but you need to dress to go there at night, which is a bit uncomfortable. The vanity cabinet was very humid inside. No shampoo and shower gel, only liquid hand soap

"Super comfy"

10.0

Clean, spacious room, and that’s the only place out of 3 where I had a proper bed setting. There was a blanket, never thought I’d be happy to have it. So comfy bed, pillows and blanket. Liked the room and views a lot. I wish I could stay there longer.

Everything was perfect, but I wish they had breakfast too 😊

"Practical."

7.0

Great location - only 5 minutes to the main roads. Waking up to the jungle colours and noises is charming- Lots of natural light! Very spacey. Room had a cupboard and table area. Getting to the flat from the main road requires walking down a steep hill w it b a curve. We did it with 3 bags and was fine. Good exercise to start / finish the day ! The room itself is large. Nice bed and clean sheets although we stayed two nights and they did not clean during our stay. Bathroom is huge and very clean. Ample space for showering and toilet. It can be noisy at night but mostly from nature calls. The host was helpful with using the kitchen and provided a few cooking things we forgot.

"In the middle of jungle but very close to the city!"

10.0

Cute little house rounded with nature! You can hear all the birds and animals doing all kind of sounds, we enjoy that! Also enjoyed the monkeys who crossed the electric cable every day. After more than 3 weeks in Sri Lanka I would say that this place has the most comfortable bed and bed linen that we had during our stays in many different places. Owners friendly and helpful , thanks for having us!

"Amazing Ella stay"

9.0

This accommodation is incredible. There are 2 rooms in a V shape building. One upstairs one down. They both have balcony's and overlook the forest which has monkeys swinging around. We sat upstairs and had tea while watching the monkeys swing. Breakfast is incredible. It's 600rs each and the amount of food and quality is amazing. We had it each day. The owners live next door in their own house and will look after you like family. Whatever we needed they helped with. The rooms and bed are much bigger than the photos and the bed is super comfortable. There is even a kitchen that you can use with fridge and all the accessories needed. WiFi was very good.

There are only 2 small faults. The walk into town is up a very steep hill and although not an issue for us it would be for those not able. We have to get a tuk tuk on the last day to help with luggage. Secondly the balcony doors are not fully sealed and so at sunset the moths get attracted to lights. We learnt the hard way and on the first night it was like a murder scene in our room. We then learnt to fill the door gaps with bags and this did the trick. If the owners could improve the doors then I see no faults with this accommodation.
