Guest Reviews

• Stefanie (5/5): - Holzstyle war schön. Frühstück war super. Gastgeber war sehr freundlich. Es war eine Blechhütte. Dach mit Klebeband geklebt. Bad hatte keine Fliesen, nach dem Duschen stand das ganze Bad unter Wasser. Sehr Abseits. Mit dem Auto nicht zu erreichen. Keine Straßengabe.
• Moritz (10/5): -
• Monika (9/5): Idyllic and unique place surrounded by nature - - super unique place!! place which is entirely made of wood and made was beautifully - amazing craft, I want to have bed made like this in my own home - breathtaking view from your room, and breakfast area - it’s very quiet so you can enjoy the views and watch nature / birds - breakfast was next level, plentiful and made with such care , delicious - very sweet host who really takes care of you - the location is a bit out of the way to center of Ella so you always need tuk tuk. Unfortunately tuk tuks in Ella are quite expensive in compared to other cities - not property related but be aware somewhere nearby, every night monks are doing their chants at 5 AM for an hour and it’s super loud so you can’t sleep
• Evgenii (9/5): -
• marie (10/5): - Le personnel et la vue La musique de l’entourage la première nuit jusqu’à 2 heures du matin
• Veronika (10/5): -
• Tina (9/5): - Wir wurden unglaublich herzlich empfangen und versorgt. Das Frühstück war der absolute Wahnsinn!! :) Das Zimmer entsprach den Bildern und war geräumig und einladend. Aus dem Bett hatte man einen fantastischen Ausblick, was vor allem abends und morgens wunderschön war. Die Umgebung war ruhig und friedlich. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Ein paar mehr Haken und Ablageflächen wären schön. Und es wäre super, wenn in der Unterkunft ein paar Basics (wie Wasser und ggf. kleine Snacks) verkauft werden würden, da in der Umgebung nichts zu bekommen ist.
• Fenja Irmgard (10/5): - Die Unterkunft ist sehr gut ausgestattet und der Besitzer sehr hilfsbereit. Die Zimmer sind sehr bequem, es gibt warmes Wasser und einen tolle Ausblick. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig und etwas abseits der Stadt, was uns aber sehr gut gefallen hat, da der Ausblick in die Berge einfach toll war. Man ist auch in 10 min mit dem Tuk Tuk in der Stadt ist.
• Carole (10/5): Superbe tout en bois au dessus de la jungle - Tout était parfait …. Tout
• Ines (9/5): -
• Stéphanie (9/5): - Des cabanes perchées sur les flancs de la jungle, l’ambiance magique, très propre, et une vue canon de la terrasse où nous avons eu un petit déjeuner des plus copieux et bon parmi ceux goûtés au Sri Lanka. L’accueil était au top, petit bémol sur la sonorité des voisins du dessus mais ça n’a pas gêné longtemps. Par contre les bruits des animaux et les chants des moines boudhistes ont enchantés nos couchers et matinées. Je recommande fortement !
• Elizabeth (10/5): - Very private with an incredible patio for birdwatching. Surrounded by windows made it feel like we were immersed in the forest. Hot shower! We loved this place & even stayed an extra night.
• Rebecca (9/5): - The stunning view and the superfriendly host. it was a bit far from the center, always needed to use the tuktuk.
• Alisa (10/5): - Sehr saubere Unterkunft mit einem super schönem Ausblick, sehr nettem Gastgeber und leckerem Frühstück Ich habe in den anderen Bewertungen gelesen dass man sein Gepäck selber von der Straße zum Hotel tragen muss. Das war bei uns nicht der Fall, es wurde mit einem Tuktuk für uns transportiert
• melina (10/5): Ein Traum mit zauberhaftem Flair - Alles! Es war die bisher beste und schönste Unterkunft nach drei Wochen Sri Lanka. Sie war super ausgestattet, Wasserkocher, Gläser, Becher, Zucker und Kühlschrank. Sauberes Bettzeug und bequemes Bett. Die Aussicht ist wunderschön und der Mann der sie betreut ist super freundlich und immer hilfsbereit.
• Karol (8/5): -
• Naomi (9/5): Beautiful wood lodge with stunning views and friendly welcome - It was out of the bustling area of Ella. Only a 15 minute walk into town. You could catch the local bus. The place was clean and Sangriv was so welcoming. The breakfast was great. It is best to walk 200m downhill as tuk tuks can’t access it easily. The room was well equipped the sunset was absolutely incredible. Nothing, apart from if you stay mid week there is a lot of billing building work. It didn’t bother us. Also the call to prayer is at 4am; again it was fine.
• morgane (10/5): - La décoration du chalet, la vue et la gentillesse du propriétaire
• Alba (6/5): - El treballador és encantador. Preparat sempre pel que necessitéssim, i sempre volent ajudar (a demanar tuk tuk per anar al centre, per fer un cafè…). I l’esmorzar super abundant i boníssim. Em sap greu posar notes negatives pel treballador, però com a pega: - Mal aïllament del soroll. Se sent absolutament tot: la gent de l’allotjament del costat quan entra, si estan a la terrassa també, els vehicles que passen per fora, els gossos… com si els tinguéssis al costat. És una cabana
• Carlota (8/5): - El hombre que lo regenta es muy amable y super agradable. El desayuno de 10 y las vistas increíbles. El colchón de la cama es comodísimo y la habitación está muy bien. Esperas de un sitio así que no haya ruido y que sea muy tranquilo. Hay demasiado ruido actualmente, hay una obra detrás de un hotel, un templo muy cerca y además se escuchan demasiados ruidos por la noche. Es una cabaña y no está muy aislada. Es una pena porque la cama era realmente cómoda, pero no descansamos ningún día.
• MARIA (7/5): Bonita cabaña pero sin acceso. - La cabaña está bien. Correcta. Buenas vistas en el desayuno. Staff agradable. No hay acceso al hotel. Una cuesta tremenda sin asfaltar, llena de grava y sin iluminación ninguna. Solo pueden acceder tuktuks y de mala manera. No se entiende que el hotel no habilite un acceso medianamente decente.
• Michael (10/5): - Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt! Das Frühstück war richtig lecker und die Auswahl auch sehr gut. Der Host war super freundlich und immer für uns da – wir haben uns sofort wohl gefühlt. Wir würden gerne wieder kommen.
• Guillem (8/5): -
• Claire (9/5): - I really enjoyed my stay here. It is in a quiet spot away from the busy town and the view is beautiful. The balcony is the perfect place to enjoy the view. The staff were really friendly and the breakfast was also great. It can get a bit noisy, which is to be expected as you are in a cabin, but ear plugs help and this didn't take away from the experience.
• Guest (8/5): - Chambre sympathique dans une petite cabane en bois, avec une vue magnifique sur les montagnes environnantes. Super petit dej, copieux et délicieux, savouré face à la vue. Pas loin du centre de Ella (à peine 10 minutes en Tuk Tuk et environ 15/20 mins à pieds). Le monsieur qui gère l’établissement est adorable, toujours disponible pour aider - nous le remercions vivement ! La chambre est dans une petite cabane en bois, ce qui veut dire que l’isolation acoustique laisse un peu à désirer, ce qui peut être problématique si les voisins ne sont pas respectueux (ce qui était notre cas). De plus, comme beaucoup d’endroits dans le pays, la cabane laisse passer le jour ce qui promet un réveil matinal pour partir à la découverte de Ella.
• Bracha (10/5): - בעלים נחמדים מאוד, נתקענו באמצע הלילה בלי מפתח והם באו ועזרו לנו, היה נקי וכיף מקום מהמם !
• Paul (9/5): Gemütliches Bungalow mit toller Aussicht und nettem Host - Sehr freundlicher und zuvorkommender Gastgeber, der außerdem ein leckeres Frühstück zubereitet. Super hilfsbereit! Vom Berg aus hat man einen grandiosen Ausblick und auch das Bett war echt gemütlich. Man kann leider nicht mit dem Auto zur Unterkunft fahren, nur mit dem TucTuc. D.h. wenn man abgeholt wird, muss man den steilen Berg mit dem Gepäck hochlaufen. Kein Moskitonetz!
• Stefan (9/5): -
• Yentl (9/5): Loved it! - We loved the view, and the room was so nice and clean, also the bed was really comfortable. Overall we loved the stay, especially the breakfast!! The sri lankan breakfast was delicious. Noisy
• Annis (9/5): Superb - Lovely little place a bit outside the town. Everything was really clean and had a lovely bathroom. Breakfast was also really delicious and the host was lovely Occasionally a bit loud and down a steep hill but didn’t affect is much
• Jildou (10/5): Very kind host! - The rooms are self made out of wood, the beds are very comfortable, the view is amazing, bathroom is good, and best of all: the host is very sweet! He was always waiting for us to come home and made delicious breakfast in the morning.
• Rushabh (10/5): Amazing place - Amazing wood rooms with excellent quality. Must visit place in ella, by far the best location too in sri lanka There is nothing which was un liked
• Samit (10/5): Characterful and well designed - Beautifully designed. Great woodwork throughout the property, all done by themselves ...you can see the carpentry unit on site. Generous and good breakfast.
• Maia (10/5): Exceptional - All perfect No bedside table and a bit out of town
• Vincent (9/5): Amazing stay in nature - So cosy although spacious for the 4 of us and in the middle of nature. Very clean, Nice personel and amazing breakfast. Nothing all great!
• Sashini (9/5): Superb -
• Nadeesha (10/5): It was just perfect - It was just perfect, host was really helpful and even ordered dinner for us cuz we were exhausted traveling. Room was quite spacious, comfortable and clean. Breakfast was delicious! We absolutely love to come back!
• Nithushan (7/5): Good -
• Desiree (7/5): Good -
• Sakila (9/5): Superb -
• Jelmer (10/5): Exceptional - We stayed 3 nights in the Lamiacae wood cabin. It is located a bit outside of the city of Ella, but is easily accessible if you have a car or tuktuk. Keep in mind that the road is very steep. The room itself looked very good and was clean. The view from the room was very nice and the staff was very friendly. The breakfast was very extensive and delicious. I would definitely recommend staying at Lamiacae wood cabin.
• Liam (10/5): Stunning stay in the treetops - First off, the staff are phenomenally accommodating, and were able to organise pretty much anything we wanted, including a transfer to the next town! The property itself is stunning, set in the treetops overlooking a valley. It rained while we were in Ella, and it was a great place to sit and watch the rain. The sounds of the rainforest at night was amazing to listen to. The breakfast was excellent, and very filling. Bar fridge was a nice touch. Some construction work near the property but it didn’t bother us much.
• Hassim (9/5): Superb - Very nice place and good staff
• Vinciane (10/5): A real gem in the middle of nature, just outside busy Ella. - This is a real gem. We booked the family room and the double room which were both clean, comfortable, and nicely furnished. The view is just incredible and so relaxing. The scenery in the morning is just amazing when you see and hear all the surroundings waking up. From the start, we were welcome with such a nice friendly atmosphere and they went over their duty to make us happy. We all absolutely loved it and will come back. Thank you so much for your hospitality.
• Gemma (9/5): We loved the views and all the wood handmade furniture. The breakfast was also amazing! - We loved the views and all the wood handmade furniture. The breakfast was also amazing!
• Judit (8/5): Nice views, tasty breakfast, amaxing location - Nice wood cabin next to Ella, perfect location and amazing views to the mountain. Really big and tasty breakfast with lots of fruits, roti, bread and omelette. Staff were very welcoming and friendly, always with a smile. It was a nit noisy on the morning because they are building next to this place and hot water didn’t always work.
• Tabea (8/5): Very good - The rooms are nice and clean and the view is amazing. The breakfast was very good. Senjewee took very good care of us, he was very nice and always helpful. It’s a little outside Ella and we feel like the tuctucs overcharged us a bit, because of the hill the had to go down, even though we waked most of the time. But in general it’s nice, if you like to stay a little bit outside of busy Ella. Also there is a bus going to and from Ella during the day, which is very cheap and only a few minute ride. Also their was a lot of construction going on during the day, which was very loud, but I think that was just a temporary problem, because they got quite a lot of work done, while we were there.
• Patrycja (10/5): Exceptional - An oasis near Ella. A very quiet place with a beautiful view, very nice and well equipped room! The breakfast was also very good, there was also space for our bikes. Highly recommended!
• Marleen (10/5): Highly recommend accommodation just 5 min outside Ella - It’s a new accommodation just 5 min outside Ella in nature. Which is good cause Ella was too busy for us. The room has its own balcony, there was some coffee and tea in the room and the shower was amazing. Lovely big bed, which was great as well as my husband is super tall. The man who checked us in and made us breakfast was an absolute champ, so friendly! The breakfast was the best we had in Sri Lanka! Fresh roti! Thanks so much! We had a lovely stay! Everything was amazing
• Marianna (9/5): Superb - The breakfast was everyday amazing, freshly cooked and the portions were huge! The owner was really kind and helpful! He managed to find us a scooter to rent although it was nye and availability was very limited. Warm water for shower was not to hot.
• Ankur (8/5): Very good -
• Marcello (3/5): Poor -
• Leetha (10/5): Exceptional -
• Johanna (10/5): Exceptional - It was all in all perfect. The owner made a very delicious breakfast every morning and gave us tips and arranged a tuktuk for us. Also perfect for a group of friends.
• Aleksandra (9/5): The stuff was really friendly and helpful 🌸 We enjoyed our stay so much with this beautiful jungle views -
• Samadhi (10/5): It was really good … excellent customer service.. beautiful interior.. comfortable.. - Interior, cleanliness , location, excellent customer service.
• Tobit (9/5): Highly recommended for a short term stay in Ella! Great host and amazing breakfast! - Great and friendly host. Helped us with everything and was extremely kind! Breakfast was also amazing every morning. Room was nice and clean, hot water to shower and a great view from the balcony in front of the room. Location is a 5min TukTuk ride (around 600 LKR) out of Ella town. A little bit noise at night which can be easily overcome with earplugs.
• Ashanjay (9/5): Superb -
• Frederique (9/5): Superb - Very nice room, the view was beautiful. Breakfast was yummy ! You can hear the monks signing in the morning at 4am.

• Gabriela (10/5): Exceptional - The room was very clean, the view amazing, the bed very confortabile and the breakfast just delicious. We had omelette, fruits, pancakes, tea and coffee, rotti. The host very welcoming, helped us with the laundry. We booked it for 2nights but we stayed one more night, as the location was amazing.
• Visagini (8/5): Very good - great views the
• Borut (10/5): Exceptional - Super nice place, a gem, surrounded by tea plantations. Staff going out of their way to spoil you, starting with delitious breakfast. And the view from the balkon just perfect! To be highly recommanded, no doubts about it.
• Vijayapurathu (8/5): Very good -
• Sayoni (5/5): Nice place but be wary of the property owner - Even though this property was well made , in a gorgeous location. And had an amazing caretaker who was friendly and made you feel welcome. He went out of his way to cater to you. The place was really great value for money as well. However, the whole experience was marred by the behaviour of the property owner. After we had checked in and spent the night at the property. Post breakfast, we sorted out the bill and paid up in cash as requested by the owner and received a bill. Once we left the property, the owner updated on Booking.com that we were a no-show. Which meant that, we would be charged a fine for the no-show and he gets to avoid paying commission to the site. Such a horrible unethical thing to do by the owner. I reached out to the Booking.com customer care and updated them of the situation. They then updated that appropriate action will be taken against the property. Sad, that inspite of us really loving the place and having such a great caretaker. The owner 's behaviour left us with a bad taste. The unethical behaviour of the property owner by marking us a no- show when we stayed at the property as per our booking.
• Melanie (8/5): Beautiful view and cabin! - We loved the views and gorgeous design and style of the cabin. The beds were very comfortable, everything very clean and an amazing breakfast. The neighbour gave us a ride into Ella, very kindly picked us up too. No charge. The super steep hill to the property was tricky for vans, the taxis were only happy to drop us half way down. Not recommended for anyone with mobility issues or small children! The Tuk Tuk and car can manage, just not a van, which we needed. Again, the neighbour drive us and luggage to the top, no problem. Just to mention, one of us was disturbed by the Islamic prayer at 4.45am each am. Earplugs helped!!!
• Felicity (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nipun (8/5): Very good -
• Ronja (9/5): Cosy tree cabin!! - Clean, cosy! Got a great room with great view. Really good for the price 🙏🏼nice guy working there. Nothing!
• Charlotte (10/5): Exceptional - Room was so clean! The owner was so lovely and helpful to us and also the breakfast was delicious ☺️
• Jasmine (9/5): Superb - Beautiful view of nature, unique stay in a wood cabin, very kind and welcoming staff A little away from Ella main town but was okay as we hired a moped
• Malki (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jānis (7/5): Good -
• Jana (10/5): Warmly, cozy and super calming - It was a very nice and cozy room. We got the family room because there was no other left and we loved it! When we arrived we got welcomed with tea. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was very good! We got a traditional Sri Lanka breakfast 😊 They organised us a scooter to rent and helped us getting down to Tangalle! One thing… the accommodation is about 1-2km far from Ella Town, good to know and people might think it’s annoying but we really liked being in the middle of nature and meeting locals and just listening to the sounds of nature! We would always come again!
• Hiran (10/5): Superb - Place and staff Road is too deep
• Julia (10/5): Exceptional - Great and friendly staff, delicious food and cozy beds. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend the place!
• Florian (9/5): Superb - + great view + laundry service + good breakfast
• Marco (10/5): Stunning wooden cabins in a jungle-like atmosphere! - The wooden cabins are beautifully crafted and very cozy! They have been built with love. The beds are comfy. You go to sleep to the sound of cicadas and wake to the sound of Buddhist prayers and bird songs. Breakfast was also fantastic! The owner is very friendly and helpful. The WiFi appears to have a data limit - it’s fast in the morning and extremely slow in the evenings. The location is not a big problem, but about 1,5 kilometers from the city - walkable by day, at night better to take a tuk tuk.
• Siân (10/5): Perfect if you want to be surrounded by greenery - All four of us absolutely loved this room! The styling of it was really nice, the views were beautiful and location was tranquil. The owner/host was super helpful as well!
• Ekaterina (10/5): Excellent! - It’s very authentic, with an amazing view. Everything is wooden ! The host was super helpful, helped us to buy some food in the shop and was always responsive about our inquiries. Nice breakfast (we could choose between traditional Sri Lankan breakfast and western) A bit cold at night (January). Would be great if there are thicker blankets . Also the sounds of prayers from the mosque nearby at 5-6 am : be ready to wake up at that time 😁🫣
