Stunning

10.0

It was so beautiful, a little hide out on the side of a mountain! Although a bit further from the city but the complimentary Tuktuk ride added to the experience. Woke up to the birds. It was an amazing building and we were provided with everything we needed, mini bar, toiletries etc. staff were very polite, dinner and breakfast were delivered with such care and on top of that the food was delicious. I would definitely recommend!

There was some work going on but it was easy to ignore. The floor was a bit slippy around the pool and in the bathroom, perhaps consider real stone tiles. The restaurant was not open, but getting the food delivered was a fantastic option!

We will be coming back !

10.0

The best value for money accommodation we had stayed at in Sri Lanka. Nestled up in the Ella jungle hills, this beautifully thought out complex welcomes you. A beautiful place to sit in the pool and watch native wildlife around you and see the mist fall through the trees at dusk.

Nothing. It was all great !

Une bulle de nature.

10.0

Personnel aux petits oignons, toujours disponible et d’une réelle gentillesse. Logement juste magnifique, un moment hors du temps dans un lieu magnifique.

Juste mettre en avant la condition physique nécessaire pour atteindre le logement. Les marches étant assez hautes certains pourraient se retrouver un peu embêtés.

Friendly staff but unpleasant room

7.0

Private pool and tuktuk to Ella for free. Friendly staff

We had the chalet with one bedroom but this was vert poorly renovated. It was not to the same standard as the other villa. There were also wild cats in the roof making alot of noise at night and this was not very pleasant. The location is also 15mins with a tuktuk.

Relax e natura

10.0

Struttura fantastica immersa nella foresta Non comodissimo al centro di Ella ma servizio tuk tuk fornito dall'Hotel impeccabile.

Comunicazione via WhatsApp con lo staff non sempre efficace ma comunque funzionale

Prachtige uitvalbasis voor Ella

9.0

Prachtig verblijf met mooi uitzicht op de vallei. Het restaurant is onder verbouwing, maar hierdoor kan je genieten van lekker eten op jouw eigen terras. Ook leuk dat ze per nacht 2 tuktuk ritten voorzien naar Ella (1x heen & terug).

De ligbedden aan het privézwembad zijn relatief hard en aan vervanging toe.
