The family accepted me as part of them. They are really nice and always willing to help. The location is perfect: close to everything but still in nature. I loved doing yoga in their terase.

Easily one of the best hostels I’ve stayed in Sri Lanka! absolutely lovely and lively atmosphere, ideal for solo travellers and people who like to socialise. Plenty of activities and tours available and the owner is the most genuine guy who will go above and beyond to care for his guests. The location of the hostel is just perfect, just a few steps from supermarkets,restaurants and train station and a short walk from all the beautiful hikes around Ella. Facilities were high quality and comfortable, the rooms and washrooms are cleaned daily. The wifi reaches the rooms and was very reliable all the time. Hot water always available, A/C in the dorms and a simple breakfast included. Despite the prices of the beds being on the higher side, I would absolutely stay here again.

Most incredible place ever. Especially for nature lovers seeking an off the beaten track experience. The passion, attention to detail and effort put in here is inspiring. Sham and Nishan are great owners, they organize transport, cook great food and go the extra mile with a smile! Sham kept helping me with the rest of my trip even after I left Dream Ville. The view is the best I've seen, waking up to critters all around, you will fall in love with Dream Ville. It's the one place in Ella I would gladly return to!

Amazing hostel- everything about it was fantastic! I booked for two nights but ended up staying 11 lol. The host is v friendly, the hostel is a very easy place to relax and its a really nice walk along the railway lines to get to Ella town centre (40mins). Some nice restaurants along the way too (River Face). Socialble hostel, they provide a free breakfast and a cheap dinner (500-700 rupees). Good location for Ella Rock sunrise hike too:)

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
