1.0

I booked the room the day before arriving. After a long, exhausting hiking day I had arrived and the host was nowhere. I called him, but he hardly spoke english and didn’t know I am coming. I couldn’t wait him, I spent that night in a different place.

Cutest little two room building managed by a very nice old man. He gives tips about train schedules etc/ things to do. The dinner and breakfast are very tasty. Great location for the walk to Ella Rock, a little outside of main town, but that’s what you want anyway. Quiet mountainside.

"Perfect trainspotting retreat"

9.0

Tuktuk drivers loved to charge a lot to get here but it's a lovely walk into Ella along the tracks and only 25 mins. Peaceful location, hosts were amazing the food was incredible we had breakfast and dinner there. The room was great - only bad thing was a power outage for quite a few hours one evening but this is also pretty standard in srilanka .

"Excellent experience"

10.0

When we booked this place, we didn’t think much about its location, but after spending a week here, we realized that this guesthouse is perfectly situated. Every day, we walked along the scenic railway tracks to Ella, encountered various animals, stopped by charming cafés located right on the tracks, and enjoyed the stunning views. The guesthouse itself also offers a breathtaking view. The hosts are incredibly friendly and kind people who genuinely care about their guests' comfort. They promptly solve any issues that arise and can arrange transportation and laundry service upon request. The breakfast is delicious and almost free, while dinner is more expensive but still very good. We are so glad that during our visit to Ella, we chose to stay here.

For this price, there's no point in nitpicking over small things.
