Very beautiful and stylish place. Our stay was very comfortable. The view is amazing and the staff is very helpful! Not far away from the train station which is a big plus. Good breakfast. Would definitely recommend this place to get a great experience in Ella!

The best breakfast, so delicious! Really clean room and a very, very friendly owner. The location is perfect because you can only hear the jungle noises but still get everywhere easily :)

Lovely cottage style room with a everything you need. Great value for money. Best view of Nine Arch Bridge in Ella. Nihal and his beautiful family are locals who built and run the place. He will drive you anywhere you want to go in his tuk tuk and his wife makes a great local breakfasts. About 10 mins drive to town which means there's no noise from the loud streets and bars.

The terrace:) waw..having breakfast and looking at this beautiful nature! Unforgettable! The room is quite big, the bathroom is clean! There is even a small fridge in the room and this is very useful! Everyday you get something else for breakfast! One day they made us a tea when we came back from a day trip, they have organized! Beds are veeeey comfortable plus the nets are perfect - the best we had in Sri Lanka! Do recommend! The location is far from the center, but tuktuk solves everything! We were travelling with 2 kids and they adore tuk tuk :)

For our group of six occupying three rooms, this was a wonderful place we truly enjoyed. It’s located outside Ella, but the 6 km walk along the railway is easy and filled with great views; the train ride is also a memorable experience and highly recommended. The accommodation feels authentic, with beautiful vistas and the gentle sounds of nature and local life. The host and his family are extremely friendly and helpful; we always felt safe and welcome. The owner even took us to a nearby tea factory for a fantastic private tour. Breakfast was a typical local meal; we apologise again to the host for not fully appreciating it. We highly recommend booking this place – every morning here is magical! 😊

The place is so peaceful and serene. We loved the bed in the trees for relaxing! It is in a great location, just a short tuk tuk ride from Ella town and other main attractions. The staff are great - particularly Suren who made our stay.

Had the best time in Sri Lanka here! The host family are so friendly and kind, doing everything they can so that we are happy. Met the entire family, including the dog! Nice room with terrace, where we had great breakfast and perhaps the best dinner in Sri Lanka! The owner arranged scooter, tuktuk whenever we needed and gave great instructions and recommendations for hikes etc. Great memory in Sri Lanka!

The Spice Lodge is a special place located within walking distance to Ella center. The family that runs the lodge are the kindest, most helpful people. The breakfast was delicious, and the dinner we had was the best curry we had on our trip. Highly recommended lodging.
