Ella bay homestay

Ella Bay Homestay it's an amazing place to stay. Right in the middle of the jungle and 10 min walk to Ella Town. Imosh and his family are so kind, welcoming and accomodating! We stayed for almost 2 weeks and they made us feel at home, the breakfast is wonderful!! and if they are going to the town you can catch a ride with them, which it's very nice of them. We were working online while staying there and Imosh made sure we had good wifi connection and were comfortable during our stay. The wifi speed is great! We totally recommend this place and we will definetely be back! Thak you again for the wonderful stay!

All was great!

Food - more or less ok

Mould, dirt, and fungus were everywhere, including the porcelain washbasin (which I didn’t realise was even possible). There was a really bad smell. The room and bathroom facilities were very dirty. The fan, which was supposed to be an air conditioner, was covered in dust, mould, and who knows what else. Linen and bed felt odd—slightly wet and sticky. We also found cockroaches in the room. When I confronted the owners, initially they pretended the room was very clean, ignoring the fact that such conditions could cause serious health issues. Eventually, they stopped denying it but ask for “good review," focusing on their smiling and being nice and ignore the problems. They even promised to fix the mould on the wall by simply painting over it. At the end, I visited Booking.com to write review and find out that our stay was “cancelled.” What is not true is that we don't stay the whole time planned, but pay for the full stay… what makes me change my opinion about these „nice and smiling” owners.

Bij aankomst kreeg ik een andere kamer boven woongedeelte. Daar was ik erg blij mee. Lekker bed, erg comfortabel met muskietennet. Lekkere warme douche. 4 dagen verbleven en de hele omgeving bezocht. 9 arch bridge, little Adam’s peek, treinrit naar Haputhale, theeplantage bezocht en tour gedaan, waterval bezocht, heerlijk in de stad gegeten bij Ella C café ( een aanrader) en lekkere koffie bij rainbow café gedronkren. Souveniers geshopt. Ontbijt bij homestay uitgebreid en lekker. Erg lieve eigenaren, doen enorm hun best!

Vond de kamer beneden niet zo fijn, maar kreeg gelijk een andere kamer. Was snel opgelost.

Trevlig, vänlig och hjälpsam personal, som erbjöd oss skjuts till diverse sevärdheter i trakterna. God och riklig frukost. Vid middagen fick vi avsmaka många olika Sri Lankesiska rätter i riklig mängd. De erbjöd oss att använda deras tvättmaskin för att tvätta våra kläder. Sonen i familjen kunde erbjuda oss massage om vi ville ha det. Fin balkong och vacker omgivning.

Really wonderful place!! The whole family was incredibly nice, friendly and helpful. Food was delicious and there was always a lot. The location was just outside of the busy part of town, so you look out on trees (birds, fireflies & occasionally monkeys) but you can walk to town,bridge, trails,etc. Room was big, clean and comfortable.

Everything was great.

The location is a 15 minutes walk from the centre. It is on a serpentine. The owners have tuk tuk and can help you with trips. They are really kind and nice people, ready to help. The wifi was good. There was hot water. The bed has mosquito net, though I could barely see any mosquitoes there. Breakfast is diversified.
