absolutely perfect must stay in Ella ! Great location 8 min walk into busy town and its hidden away where it’s quieter. Great terrace overlooking a stunning view. Super close to attractions like Adams peak and nine arch bridge aswell. The lovely man running this place took such good care of us , loved a chat , brought us Sri Lankan snacks and made us such a great (huge) breakfast every morning. Hoppers and coconut roti so yum! Room feels fancy 5 star hotel , comfy bed , hot water from shower. Great price Definitely can’t recommend this place enough if you’re in Ella ❤️🙏

Phadmini is the best host you can wish for! She is a great cook and her children are always ready to help. Her son even went to Ella station at 5.45h to fetch the last tickets for the train to Kandy. He is also your peronal tuktuk driver for your transport around Ella. The room was very tidy and clean and the sunrise is magical. Big plus: Rainbow sky cottage is neighbours with the Tripadvisor high ranked Bees Honey Restaurant.

Nethsara cottage is absolutely gorgeous - beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and in a rural, quiet spot in the hills above Ella. Delicious breakfasts are served on the balcony that has amazing views of the valley and the Mahamevnawa Monastery in the distance. Madusha is a lovely host, organising tuktuks on our request. We were so sad to leave and couldn’t recommend it more!

Excellent cottage with everything you need: a refrigerator with free drinks, a hair dryer, TV, Internet, air conditioning. Excellent location, in the center, but at a small distance, so quiet and fresh. The main street with restaurants and bars is 5 minutes walk away. Very hospitable and polite owner. 🫶🏻

Maduranga and his wife were exceptional hosts. They were both very warm, kind and friendly. I got caught in heavy rainfall and Maduranga offered to bring me an umbrella. His wife also made a home remedy for me to treat some insect bites that I had. The breakfast was abundant and varied and saw me through to way past lunchtime. The shower was excellent with hot water and the cleanliness of the room impeccable. A few days after my stay, he also checked in to see where I was and if I was ok. I highly recommend this homestay.

Lovely big spacious room with an amazing balcony view. Nice bed and pillows and big bathroom facilities. Priyanka the hostess is lovely, friendly and speaks English well. We had a delicious Sri Lankan breakfast on the balcony. I highly recommended this place to stay and we were very pleased with our stay. Loved the view and it was quiet during the night.

Our hosts went out of their way to make sure we were looked after. The cottage is basic but excellent for the price and has everything you need. The view is spectacular and quiet, as we did not want to be in Ella central which is too noisy. The cottage is an eight minute tuk tuk ride to town, with the host lifting us everywhere, plus took us to the start of the sunrise hike. And they made us the best breakfast in sri lanka. Also don't miss walking down to Bees Honey for a meal.

This is a cute hostel near the center of Ella. The location is strategic for those who will visit the Nine-Arch bridge and little Adam's peak. It is also a short drive to Ella railway station. There are shops around the cottage which are very helpful for immediate purchase and emergencies. The host is very kind. The room is spacious with seating area, dresser and toilet. There is also a cabinet for your clothes. There is a dining area just outside the room which is very comfy and relaxing. We had a lovely and filling breakfast.
