Guest Reviews

• Robin (10/5): Great experience. Would definitely come again. - We had a wonderful stay in Ella and felt very well looked after from start to finish. The host and his family were incredibly kind, helped us with transfers and activities, and made us feel at home. The breakfast was freshly prepared every day according to our preferences, with generous portions and a great variety of options, from Sri Lankan food to pancakes and bowls. The location is excellent – only a short walk from the town center, yet quiet enough to relax. Great value for money and a place we would happily recommend. Humid room, but thats typical for Sri Lanka.
• Ali Ekrem (10/5): - We stayed for 3 nights in total. The room is modern and clean. There was everything we needed in the room, from the umbrella to the fly protector cream. Pasidu and his brother are very interested, they helped us in everything for our comfort. Breakfast was amazing. The breakfast and coffee we had in the garden were very enjoyable. There are 2 ways to transport. One of the roads shown on the map, this road is wide enough for vehicles to pass. The second way is a path and a shortcut. It takes 5 minutes to get off the center from that road. They will come to Ella, I recommend la casa bella.
• Shelly (10/5): -
• Johanna (9/5): - Die Unterkunft ist toll und wir haben von einer auf 3 Nächte verlängert. Die Familie ist super lieb und das Frühstück war jeden Tag abwechslungsreich. Die ganze Unterkunft sehr sauber und gut gepflegt.
• Toby (8/5): Sehr zu empfehlen! - Sehr schönes kleines Hotel mit netten Mitarbeitern. Das Frühstück und das Hotelzimmer waren hervorragend. Wir würden jederzeit wieder dort übernachten. Es wurde uns kurz vor Abreise mitgeteilt dass wir nur in Cash bezahlen können. Das war sehr schade weil wir extra nochmal Geld tauschen mussten und man dadurch auch immer Gebühren bezahlen muss. Ich vermute die Eigentümer konnten sich so die Steuern sparen.
• Ariadna (10/5): Muy recomendable! - El alojamiento es perfecto, habitaciones muy limpias, con muchos detalles, el personal es muy atento y encantador, muy buena ubicación porque tiene 2 salidas a la ciudad. Desayuno muy completo. Sin duda repetiría Habitación con mucha humedad en el ambiente.
• Nils (8/5): Nette Unterkunft mit kleinen Ärgerlichkeiten - Wir wurden vom Bruder des Hosts betreut, dieser war sehr hilfsbereit und hat uns unsere Wünsche erfüllt. Zb haben wir auf Nachfrage neue Handtücher bekommen. Das Frühstück in der Unterkunft ist sehr vielfältig und abwechslungsreich. Jeden Tag etwas anderes und verschiedene Getränke dabei. Außerdem wird das Frühstück privat auf dem Balkon serviert. Die Unterkunft hat eine Abkürzung in die Stadt die einem ca. 10 min Fußweg spart. Leider hatten wir auf unserem Kopfkissen Flecken entdeckt die nicht von uns stammten. Außerdem roch das Badezimmer etwas muffig. Bei mehreren Übernachtung wäre es schön wenn das Zimmer gereinigt werden würde und man ohne Nachfrage neue Handtücher bekommt. Etwas Unannehmlichkeiten hatten wir mit der Bezahlung. Leider war das Kartenlesegerät defekt und wir sollten Cash zahlen. Dies wurde uns aber erst am Vorabend unser Abreise mitgeteilt. Aus einer Bewertung am Tag vor unserer Anreise konnte ich entnehmen, dass das Gerät schon dort defekt war. Hier hätte ich mir eine bessere Kommunikation gewünscht so dass man sich schon vor der Anreise darauf hätte einstellen können. Nach einer Stunde Gespräch mit dem Host haben wir dann eine Lösung gefunden die für alle funktionierte.
• Alesia (10/5): - Fabulous location and great breakfast,staff super helpful.comfortable bed.big room, we had a beautiful stay!
• Heidi (9/5): -
• Thomas (2/5): - On the plus side, the owner communicated well and his brother was very helpful and charming. The location, even though rather basic, was at least quiet (except for the dog that started barking from around 7am!). The shower was good and we were provided with bottled water for no extra charge. There was a good, if ridiculously large, breakfast provided. We rented two rooms, both were damp but the one on the right (without the aircon) was unbearably damp and musty. Even the sheets were wet to touch. Really unpleasant. They should not be renting this room out until they can sort out this problem. Note ther the route into town is down a very rough track. We were asked to pay cash on checkout even though they said they’d accept cards.
• Rachael (10/5): - Went above and beyond. Great location. Clean and modern rooms. Delicious breakfast.
• Irina (9/5): Immer wieder gerne!! - Eine Ruheoase. Das Hotel hat momentan zwei Bungalows die vom Dschungel umgeben sind. Man ist aber aus dem Bungalow heraus über eine Treppe in 5 Minuten auf der Hauptstrase . Sehr nettes Personal mit einem außergewöhnlichen Frühstück an der eigenen Terrasse. Die Uhrzeit bestimmt der Gast. -
• Anna (10/5): - The accommodation was very clean and the interior was pleasant. Breakfast was good, and the front of the terrace was a garden, so there was a feeling of a resort. The host was kind to pick up my luggage and saw me off. The friendly host and pleasant accommodation made the trip comfortable. Thank you to the host.
• Alyesha (10/5): Lovely homely stay - Fantastic stay with a great host! The Sri Lankan breakfast was lovely. They helped us organise laundry and taxi services, as well as lots of recommendations! Nothing
• Annika (10/5): Perfekte Lage und sehr erholsamer Aufenthalt - Die Unterkunft liegt sehr nah am Zentrum – in nur etwa 5 Minuten ist man mitten im Geschehen – und trotzdem ist es dort erstaunlich ruhig. Besonders angenehm war die ruhige Atmosphäre, die einen erholsamen Aufenthalt ermöglicht hat. Der Host war sehr zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit, wodurch man sich sofort willkommen gefühlt hat. Das Frühstück war ausgezeichnet und ein perfekter Start in den Tag. Besonders praktisch war auch der Wäscheservice: Unsere Wäsche wurde zu einem sehr guten Preis gewaschen und pro Kilogramm abgerechnet. Außerdem konnten wir spontan Tuk-Tuk-Fahrten direkt mit dem Host organisieren, was unseren Aufenthalt noch unkomplizierter gemacht hat. Auch das Bett war sehr bequem, sodass wir hervorragend schlafen konnten. Insgesamt ein rundum sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt, den wir gerne weiterempfehlen! -
• Ondyk (10/5): Název odpovídá = La Casa Bella!!! - Rodinná vila La Casa Bella je velmi pěkné ubytování. Majitel byl na telefonu, ale ubytoval nás jeho bratr. Velmi si cenníme, že nám připravili pokoj i před dobou našeho plánovaného příjezdu, po dobu krátkého čekání na pokoj nám uvařili čaj a kávu. Majitel vše kontroloval po telefonu. Velmi oceňuji, že měl snahu, aby se nám líbilo v jeho ubytování. Ráno jsme měli bohatou snídani, včetně mísy ovoce. Do města byla z ubytování zkratkou cesta do centra asi za 10 minut. Byli jsme opakovaně první den i druhý před odjezdem. Majitelův bratr nám zajsitil i odvoz Tuktukem pod Little Adams peak. Rádi se do tohoto ubytování vrátíme. Nemohli jsme dlouho najít správnou polohu ubytování, chybělo jasné označení vily.
• SEVERIN (9/5): - La situation géographique. La gentillesse du personnel.
• Markus (10/5): -
• Manfredo (10/5): - Breakfast was plentiful and delicious, the room is super clean and very well maintained , we had srilanka best one..
• Lena (9/5): Wunderschöne Unterkunft nahe am Zentrum - Unser Zimmer und die Terrasse waren wirklich wunderschön und total modern eingerichtet. Es wurde an alles gedacht. Fön, Zahnbürsten, Insektensprays, Regenschirme usw. Der Bruder des Besitzers und alle vom Personal waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit! Jeden Morgen haben wir ein tolles Frühstück serviert bekommen. Die Lage war eigentlich gut und nahe am Zentrum. Aber die Unterkunft liegt ca 400 m von der Hauptstraße entfernt, das letzte Wegstück bis zum Hotel ist sehr dunkel und hat uns jeden Abend etwas Überwindung gekostet.
• Silvia (10/5): Un vero paradiso nel cuore di Ella. - L’host è stato gentilissimo e sempre disponibile: ci ha persino accompagnato a visitare le piantagioni di tè, rendendo l’esperienza ancora più autentica e speciale. La camera era impeccabile, super pulita e arredata con gusto. Letti comodissimi, bagno spazioso con una doccia grande e acqua calda. La colazione è stata abbondante e deliziosa, preparata con cura: ci siamo sentiti davvero coccolati e come a casa. Tutto semplicemente perfetto. Un posto in cui torneremmo senza esitazione.
• Scott (8/5): Lovely rooms and great service - Fabulous location and great staff - super helpful. Bedroom was brilliant as was breakfast Room seemed a little damp. To be fair there had been a lot of rain but the walls were wet in the bathroom and ventilation seems poor.
• Andersen (9/5): Frokost av en annen verden - Skal du til Ella så anbefales La Casa Bella på det varmeste. Flott beliggenhet gangavstand til sentrum og til the nine arch bridge. Frokosten er en opplevelse som kan ta pusten fra de fleste.
• Mohit (10/5): - Beautiful room, great breakfast and good attention to detail by the staff. A little private paradise. Card machine not working when we were staying so payment had to be in cash.
• Patricia (9/5): Un rapport qualité Prix service exceptionnel - Un service exceptionnel et un accord très professionnel Un petit déjeuner copieux et très bon Période de très forte pluie avec un humidité importante Une des deux chambres un peu humide mais de suite ils nous ont proposé une solution
• Andrew (9/5): Great location and breakfast was amazing - Within walking distance of landmarks, bars & restaurants. Gayan was so helpful during our stay and helped with onward transport. Great room size Room was slightly musty but wouldn't put us off staying again
• Pastor nieto (10/5): - El fenomenal recibimiento, la cama decorada con flores olía muy bien, en el baño chorros en la ducha desayuno estupendo y el chico gayan de 10
• Maya (10/5): -
• Andreas (10/5): - Everything was amazing. Very beautiful room, great breakfast and the host was really lovely. Highly recommended. Nothing. The only sad thing was, that we had just 3 nights.
• Jurren (10/5): Geweldig schoon en compleet hotel met fijne eigenaar. - Geweldig hotel! Zeer vriendelijke eigenaar. Schone mooie, schone kamer met fijne warme douche, goede airco en koelkastje. Goede locatie op loopafstand van het centrum. Goed ontbijt dat super mooi word opgediend. Wasservice beschikbaar voor 700 roepies per kg. Niets!
• Bridgett (10/5): Amazing - Amazing well located property within Ella. The breakfast was really tasty and facilities were pretty good. Nothing
• Olabisi (8/5): Great stay in Ella - We spent three nights at La Cash Bella and had a great stay. The room and bathroom were modern and welcoming. The owners were very kind and helped us to arrange Tuktuk's. The main downside was the breakfast was cold - however, we would still recommend staying here! Breakfast cold Wifi intermittent
• Riya (10/5): - Every thing Nothing
• Prakhar (10/5): The place is clean well maintained and value for money.The host is a gem of a person. The interior was nice and the bed - The interior, cozy bed and pillows, Clean and well maintained with attention to details. Couldn’t stay longer :(
• Pelucco (10/5): Coccolati come a Casa - Siamo stati alla Casa Bella per due notti, cambiando in 8 giorni 6 hotel. Senza ombra di dubbio il miglior soggiorno della vacanza. Posizione ottima, stanza con spazio fuori meraviglioso, immerso nel verde. Lontano dalla confusione ma al tempo stesso a 5 minuti a piedi dalla via principale e piena di vita. A conduzione familiare, proprio accanto. È stato tutto perfetto, dall’accoglienza al cibo e soprattutto alla pulizia. Attentissimi ad ogni particolare. Gayan a dir poco eccezionale!! Simpatico, premuroso , di una gentilezza infinita e sempre con un gran sorriso!! Consiglio assolutamente questo posto, vi sentirete a casa 🌟 A presto!!🤎
• Guest (10/5): a pleasant accommodation - The accommodation was very clean and the interior was pleasant. Breakfast was good, and the front of the terrace was a garden, so there was a feeling of a resort. The host was kind to pick up my luggage and saw me off. The friendly host and pleasant accommodation made the trip comfortable. Thank you to the host.
• Wout (10/5): Ontzettend fijn verblijf bij La Casa Bella! Aanrader! - We hebben een ontzettend fijn verblijf gehad in La Casa Bella! Erg schoon en veel faciliteiten zijn aanwezig. Ontbijten op je eigen terras is erg leuk en goed verzorgd. We raden een verblijf hier erg aan!
• Bart (10/5): Prachtig, schoon verblijf op toplocatie - Ons verblijf bij Gayan en zijn lieve familie kon niet beter. We zijn zo goed verzorgd! Het verblijf was super schoon, de locatie was top (op loopafstand van het drukke centrum, maar wel in de rust) en de ontbijtjes waren heerlijk en met enorm veel liefde en aandacht bereid en geserveerd. We hebben enorm genoten en raden iedereen aan om hier te verblijven.
• Tom (10/5): - Eine sehr moderne Unterkunft mit neuer Einrichtung! Alles ist sehr sauber und gepflegt. Das Frühstück wird auf eigener Terrasse serviert, frisch zubereitet und zum Zeitpunkt der eigenen Wahl. Alle Zutaten sind sehr ansprechend angerichtet und es wird auf alle Details geachtet. Die Familie des Eigentümers ist sehr freundlich.
• Julia (7/5): -
• Kim (8/5): Super engagiert - Die Gastgeber waren super engagiert, hilfsbereit und sehr freundlich :) das Frühstück war auch super! Man konnte sich mit jeder Frage immer an das Personal wenden und einem wurde geholfen, auch bei der Organisation von Tuk Tuks oder dem Transfer in andere Städte :) -
• Anouk (10/5): Prachtig verblijf - Prachtig verblijf: mooie en schone kamer. De host is heel behulpzaam -
• Júlia (10/5): - Servicio super atento, el sitio es precioso, y la habitación super amplia. Los desayunos muy ricos! Hay una pequeña cuesta empinada hasta llegar al hotel
• Sabine & Markus (8/5): - Raum mit viel Liebe gestalter, Personal wahnsinnig nett, aufmerksam und hilfsbereit. TOLLES Frühstück. Mit dem Shortcut zu Fuss 5 Min. In die Stadt, das ist perfekt Leider was es nicht möglich am Abend draussen zu sitzen. Man hat uns ein wirkluch gutes Moskitospray gebracht, war aber leider doch zu nervig. Da das Zimmer sehr schön ist, war es nicht so ganz schlimm.
• vittorio (9/5): -
• Claudia (10/5): consigliatissima!!! - tutto! La stanza è carinissima, pulita e con un terrazzino delizioso con colazioni abbondanti e impiattate in maniera molto bella tra l’altro! La struttura si trova a 5 minuti a piedi dalla via principale di Ella. I proprietari sono stati sempre disposti a soddisfare ogni nostra richiesta e hanno anche preparato una torta per il giorno del mio compleanno! niente
• Nichole (10/5): A Slice of Paradise in Ella – La Casa Bella is a Dream! - From the moment we arrived at La Casa Bella, we were wrapped in warmth and hospitality that truly made our stay unforgettable. The hosts are nothing short of exceptional — genuinely kind, attentive, and always ready to go the extra mile to ensure everything runs smoothly. Their local knowledge and thoughtful touches made us feel completely at ease. Each morning began with an abundant breakfast spread that was both delicious and beautifully presented. Fresh fruits, local delicacies, and hearty options kept us fueled for the day ahead — and it was clear that every detail was prepared with love. One of the highlights was how effortlessly the hosts organized tuktuks for us to explore Ella’s gems. Thanks to them, we had a seamless visit to the iconic Nine Arch Bridge and a relaxing afternoon at the Pool Club. No stress, no hassle — just pure enjoyment. La Casa Bella is more than just a place to stay; it’s a haven of comfort and care. If you're heading to Ella, do yourself a favor and book a few nights here. You’ll leave with a full heart, a happy belly, and memories to treasure. Nothing
• Fatima (10/5): - A localizacao é perfeita para descansar sem barulho, mesmo estando perto da rua principal com bares e animação até tarde. Se o objectivo é estar perto do centro, 5 minutos a pé e ainda assim com nenhum barulho no quarto é a escolha acertada. O pequeno almoco é excelente, entre um pequeno almoço clássico com ovos ou algo mais tradicional do sri lanka e o anfitrião é exemplar, ajudou-nos em tudo para não perdermos nada do que visitar na cidade, facilitou uma mota na hora para alugar e ainda um carro com motorista para irmos para outra cidade. O quarto é muito bom, espaçoso e limpo, o wc bem equipado. Resumindo, o sitio ideal, com boa relação preco qualidade e um óptimo serviço.
• Rynk (10/5): Heerlijk centraal. - Fijne locatie in Ella. Je kunt lopend het centrum in. Lieve mensen, lekker ontbijt en een gezellige plek. Niks
• Tess (10/5): -
• Anna (10/5): Perfect - We had such a wonderful stay at La Casa Bella. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and spotlessly clean - it had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing few days in Ella. You can really feel how much care has gone into creating a calm and welcoming space. breakfast was amazing. thanks La casa Bella.
• Kate (10/5): Exceptional - We had such a wonderful stay at La Casa Bella. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and spotlessly clean — it had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing few days in Ella. You can really feel how much care has gone into creating a calm and welcoming space. One of the highlights was the breakfast each morning — it was absolutely delicious, freshly prepared, and different every day. A real treat and such a lovely way to start the day. It’s also in the perfect location — peaceful and quiet, but just a short and easy walk or tuk-tuk ride to the center of Ella with all the cafés, shops, and restaurants. The hosts were so kind and helpful throughout our stay, making sure we had everything we needed. We truly felt looked after and at home. If you're heading to Ella, I couldn’t recommend La Casa Bella more. We’d definitely stay again!
• Dilshan (8/5): It was really good. No complaints everything went alright. Very welcoming people - The property is located unbelievably close to the town, if you drive a car you need to call the owner and get you directed around the property to access the driveway. Showers were amazing although it could do with some sort of a shower screen as water would get everywhere but thats how it is in Sri Lanka. Gayan was really helpful and had promptly helped us whenever we needed assistance on something and was very welcoming Nothing concerning
• Britt (10/5): Perfect - We would 100% recommend this accommodation to anyone traveling to Ella. The room is very clean and comfortable. The breakfast is delicious. And the staff is amazing and so helpful and friendly. Gayan took us to all the hotspots in Ella. We loved it! Also, the location is perfect. Walking distance to the city and close to the train station. Perfect!
• Anonymous (1/5): This is the worst hotel booking we had. The owner is horrible and very rude. - Very poor service and complain handling. The owner doesn't know how to speak calmly and assess the situation. He always shout and even told us to get out the property if we are not happy.
• Louis (8/5): Very good - Had a lovely 4 night stay at this property. The room was clean with a large and tasty breakfast served each morning at a time of our convenience. The owners could not have been more accommodating and were attentive and available to message if we needed anything. They offered advice on things to do and see, showed us where we could get our laundry done, took us up to the monastery that overlooks Ella in his tuktuk as well as dropping us at the station when we were moving on, all of which made for a very enjoyable stay. The room was modern and clean with a fridge, comfortable bed and powerful hot shower. Not a negative but a word of warning for those who are less mobile that the accommodation does require you to walk up a hill and some stairs to reach. Our only other preference would be for air conditioning to reduce the humid feel in the room at times.
• Giada (10/5): Warm Hospitality and Great Breakfast - We had a lovely stay at this family-run hotel. The guys was incredibly kind and genuinely cared about making us feel comfortable and welcome. The rooms were simple but totally fine for the price, and the highlight for us was definitely the breakfast, generous, varied and absolutely delicious. Just a small tip for future travelers: if possible, pack light or travel with a backpack rather than a suitcase, as there’s a bit of an uphill walk to reach the hotel. Overall, a really nice experience.
• Rees (10/5): Relaxing - and Ella is a beautiful place - Beautiful location, lovely kind staff, very comfortable bed and gorgeous modern shower! The path to get to the hotel was steep and requires a bit of energy! But not too bad at all :)
• Dominik (10/5): Outstanding place to stay for a few nights - Very nice and cozy casa. Beautiful rooms, nice breakfast and host.
• Sally (4/5): Stressful, shaken & no sleep! But lovely breakfast! - Beautiful property, two room homestay. Lovely room & wonderful breakfast. Great location. We had two issues with our stay here.... We were driven by the brother to the nine arch view point, the roads are not in good condition, he was driving too fast & lost control. Mum & I had jump out while moving before it went totally over the edge. (See photo) we were both totally shaken up & distressed by this accident. Our second issue was that there was a baby cow tied up outside our room and it was so distressed and mooed ALL night!!! The dogs were barking at the cow and so it went on! Hardly slept wink!
• Anuj (8/5): Very good -
• Rashmi (10/5): Exceptional - "We stayed one night and Pasi, the host, was very nice and accommodative and made sure we were comfortable. A recommended stay in the middle of town when visiting Ella." very clean and new beutifull room, we will come back
• Sue (10/5): Exceptional - I had the pleasure of spending one night at this charming accommodation in Ella, and it truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the service was absolutely impeccable—warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Pasi went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and memorable. The room was clean and cozy with beautiful views of the surrounding greenery, creating a peaceful atmosphere perfect for relaxing. But the highlight was definitely the breakfast the next morning—fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor, with a variety of local and continental options that catered to every taste. Though my stay was short, the quality of service and the serene setting made a lasting impression. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Ella.
• Christoph (10/5): Exceptional - Pasindu and his family are super kind and helpful with any needs you have. They also showed us Ella and it‘s beautiful nature. The room is brand new and really wonderful. Last but not least, the breakfast was super delicious! Thank you and see you soon.
• Maria (10/5): Very pleasant 3 days stay - I was like we were staying inside a little jungle because of the beautiful garden outside the room. I liked that we stayed a little outside of the main city but very close at the same time. The room we stayed was recently renovated and was very clean and comfortable. The staff was great, very polite and happy to assist us at anytime. Breakfast was perfect The room had a lot of humidity because it was constantly raining before our visit. It would help to have a mosquito nest at the door in order for the air to be renewed and at the same time keep the bugs away. The air condition has a dry mode which helped a bit.
• Regina (7/5): good option, but some issues - pretty new unit, clean, with a good shower. Friendly staff - the owner is proactively checking in and making sure things are ok. Decent breakfast (but omelettes are served stone cold for some reason). Outside area to sit and chill. Good value for money I guess. The big minus for us clearly was the strong musty smell in the room - which is due to the humid climate and lack of direct sunlight and proper ventilation! Quite difficult to find.
• Elsie (10/5): A must stay! - Amazing hosts, really beautiful new room with modern fittings (new AC, bathroom, etc etc), great breakfast served to the balcony outside the room. really close to Ella attractions but still very quiet!
• Kitty (7/5): Good overall. Note no Air conditioner and damp bed from humidity - Breakfast was good but would be good to know in advance that it's only from 8am-10am so you can plan morning hikes around it. Note that there is no Air conditioner and just a fan. Bed and things in the room can get damp due to high humidity. Host and my driver on last day created confusion and frustration amongst themselves unnecessarily.
• Mark (8/5): Very good - Very clean. Very good bed The access is difficult down a rough path or very narrow road.
• Jenna (9/5): Great place to stay in Ella. - The perfect place for a short stay! A spacious and clean room, good facilities and delicious breakfast provided. Good sized outdoor space to enjoy breakfast in a lovely garden. Accommodation was about a 5 - 10 minute walk away from the bars and restaurants. Very easy to arrange transport to the local sights. Pasi helped arrange a tuk tuk to the local monastery and to our next accommodation. Pasi (owner) is very welcoming and attentive. Laundry service available too. Nothing. We enjoyed our stay very much.
• Andrew (9/5): Excellent host, quiet comfortable room. Excellent value. - The host was very welcoming and helpful. The best presented breakfast experienced so far in our Sri Lankan travels. Peaceful location a short walk from the main street bars and restaurants. The property is in a quiet hillside location, but some additional signage on how to find it would be helpful.
• Sarkis (10/5): Lovely place, amazing host. - We stayed one night and Pasi, the host, was very nice and accommodative and made sure we were comfortable. A recommended stay in the middle of town when visiting Ella.
• Alison (8/5): Very good - Tucked away off the main drag of Ella - a lovely and clean room, but needed a blast of Aircon to get rid of the dampness (a common problem given humidity levels in the country). Very kind owner who checked in frequently and was accommodating with leaving luggage until later as well as organising a taxi for me to my next location.
• Rashmi (10/5): Exceptional - I’m staying one night casa Bella. I had nice time. Room was really nice and cleaning and comfortable, breakfast was super. We will come back.
• Geoffrey (9/5): Superb - Location away from the main street was very good because it was a lot quieter and yet easy to get to the main eating places as well as walking to Nine Arches Bridge, Little Adam's Peak etc. It was nice to have some outdoor space. The breakfast was amazing! Very pretty to look at and very tasty too. All cooked fresh and brought round from next door. The property was clean modern and well organised. Excellent value for money. The owner was incredibly helpful and kind. I can see that the short cut up to the property could be a challenge for some but we didn't have a problem with this - it added to the charm of the place and it was well lit in the evenings.There is an alternative route anyway.
• Fabio (10/5): The best host we had in Sri Lanka - La Casa Bella is fantastic, the location is great within walking distance from city centre. Very quiet and peaceful. The host was exceptional and the breakfast was the best we had in Sri Lanka. Internet connection is poor but it wasn’t a big issue for us.
• Tyra (9/5): Superb - We had a great time at La Casa bElla. The accommodation is modern and the location is perfect - walking distance to everything but also quiet. Pasi is a very involved host who will make sure that you have every comfort available. He checks in frequently and offers a range of services to make your stay in Ella great. The breakfast is huge and delicious. The room smelt a bit damp but most places we stayed in Sri Lanka did!
• Sinead (10/5): Lovely stay with a fabulous host. We were really impressed with the attentiveness of the host ...:) - The host was exceptional and really made sure we were looked after during our stay. On the day we were due to arrive, he texted us to ensure we had transport from the train station and even met us at the top of the road to carry our luggage in his tuk tuk. In addition to this, he arranged transport for us to our next destination for a very fair price. The cabin was lovely, nice and spacious and lovely attention to detail with decor etc., also, just a 10 minute walk to the town. The breakfast was great and we felt very looked after during our stay. No air con in the room, however, there was a fan which worked very well.
• Jason (8/5): Near perfect but damp - The property is beautiful and the room decor is very well done. The whole area was very clean and well kept. A few minute walk takes you directly to all the restaurants and shopping available in the area. It's also a good distance to walk to the 9 arches bridge and little adams peak. Breakfast was served daily and made to order. The host was kind and accommodating. The region seems to have issues with damp in the rooms. This could be easily remedied with a dehumidifier. At minimum, window and door screens are a necessity. If you have any sort of damp/mold/mildew type allergies, you might want to look elsewhere.
• Nadine (10/5): The host is so sweet and caring. The location is perfect. -
• Eleonora (10/5): Relax and peaceful stay in the nature - Our stay at Ella was super comfortable. The room is new, very spacious and clean with a nice patio where you can have an excellent breakfast in the morning surrounded by greenery and 5 mins walk to the main roads with shops and restaurants. The owner Pasi is very attentive and caring, making sure his guests are always comfortable and is available for any request. Highly recommended! ;) Nulla
• Christina (9/5): Had such a great time at La Casa Bella! - Room was nice, spacious and clean. The location was perfect for exloring Ella. The main road with many restaurants is in walking distance. Pasi is a super kind host. We had the best breakfast here! We rented a scooter from him and he organized a driver for us. We enjoyed our stay and would love to come back! There was a humid smell in the room. Many accommodations in ella have this problem because there is a lot of rain. There is no AC which could make the air a bit dryer. We told Pasi about it and he said that he wants to do something against it.
• Matthew (10/5): Delightful stay with delicious breakfast - La Casa Bella is a lovely property located in the heart of Ella. The room is modern, super clean and comfortable! The best thing about our stay was the owner who is a lovely, kind and friendly person! He went above and beyond to ensure our stay was delightful. The traditional, Sri Lankan breakfast was delicious. We couldn’t recommend this place enough! Thank you, Kate and Matt x
• Sten (10/5): Brand new room, modern & comfortable, good breakfast and kind contact with owner. Would stay again! -
• Alexander (10/5): Perfect stay in Ella! - Everything is brand new, super clean and nicely decorated. Spacious room, very comfortable bed, nice bathroom (with good water pressure and warm water), outside terrace. Breakfast was superb (and a lot!!). The host is extremely friendly and goes out of his way to make your stay a perfect experience. Location is great as well (10-15mins to Ella train station, close to the city center with many Restaurants and bars, nearby hikes to the Nine Arches Bridge and Little Adams Peak), just the final ascend to the accomodation is a bit steep (no problem though unless maybe you happen to have very much luggage). Nothing.
• Chirath (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sjoerd (10/5): Exceptional - It is a new room. It looks nice and it is a comfortable room. The breakfast is great!!!! Best I had in Sri Lanka. There is a shortcut road to the centre. Its a ten minute walk. The owner is very helpful and friendly. Nothing.
• Natasha (10/5): Exceptional - A new room, nice furniture with attention to detail and equipped with a fridge and waterkettle, nice bathroom. In the morning, breakfast is served on a terrace with junglefeeling. Rich srilankan breakfast is lovely prepared by the mother of the owner. Pasi the owner is a very nice, helpful person. The room is in walking distance to town. In the room, some hooks or shelves are missing, but gonna be done soon.
