Clean, comfortable and lovely. Nadeeka and the staff were all especially friendly and helpful

Best home stay in Sri Lanka. Room very comfortable and clean. The family was very welcoming and helpfull. The location is near the Buduruwagala temple and ellawala waterfalls.

The room was very comfortable, clean, well equipped and well maintained. Breakfast was delicious and the staff were delightful, extremely friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. I will definitely return.

We, my girlfriend and I, have experienced our stay as a wonderful journey. When we arrived, we were faced with a closed gate, but within seconds the owner arrived. After checking in, we entered the room – perfect! A nice big bed, a clean and spacious bathroom, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and everything you could need! After having a little chat, the hotel owner asked about our plans. We mentioned that we came for the nature and tranquility, and without hesitation, he offered to show us around the area. This was the start of an experience we will never forget. 🙏 First, we went to a small waterfall, very local with no tourists – just some local youngsters hanging out who even offered us a beer. Then he took us to Diyaluma Falls – what a massive waterfall that was! He offered us lunch, which he had made himself! A sandwich we’ll never forget; it was incredibly delicious. Next, we visited Buduruwagala Rock Carvings, where the owner introduced us to Buddhism. The place was surrounded by nature – trees, plants, birds – pure enjoyment. We thought we were heading back to the hotel, but nothing could be further from the truth. We visited real monks, where we received blessings and a white bracelet from an elderly monk. They also offered us boiled corn – so tasty! After the visit, we continued back to the hotel. On the way, we ran into a friend of the owner, who invited us to their home. When we arrived, the whole family was there to meet us. What kind and friendly people! They offered us tea and chocolate biscuits, and my girlfriend even received a gift! It gave us such a happy feeling, something we will cherish forever. ❤️ Then it was time to head back to the hotel – or so we thought. Instead, we went elephant spotting! Yes, you read that right – real wild elephants! It got quite late, but we spotted several wild animals, including both a male and female elephant. This, too, will stay with us forever.

Michael is a Host among hosts. The level of attention, care, and kindness shown by him is exceptional. He went out of his way to always make sure I was as happy and comfortable as possible. Spending so much time and effort just trying to understand me. He even guided us up the mountain. And never asked for extra, this is the thing: he is truly not all about the money. Which is a disappointingly rare trait nowadays. It is also very tranquil there and highly recommend to anyone considering going through the area to stay here. Food also great!

We stayed 3 nights at Ella nine peaks and I wish we stayed longer. The location is a little out of the way but this is compensated by the beautiful views, fresh air and quaint rooms. We woke to birdsong every morning and even saw fireflies on the roof at night. The showers deserve a special mention too. We were a group of 6 so we had the whole villa to ourselves which was wonderful. Roshan and Bandara took such good care of us and were very attentive. We found ourselves missing them, our conversations and the amazing food they served us (Bandara is the best cook!) as much as our stay there.

How much do you have to dislike your hotel for everything to be dirty?

Location very close to transport. Welcome tea was a nice surprise. Family was very helpful and welcoming. Pleasant room.

The owners were really nice, the view was amazing and the bed was soo comfortable. The breakfast was more than enough for 2 people and was delicious. I would highly recommend staying here!
