Dream Cliff Mountain Resort

"Amazing place with a view that is truly stunning."

Area 4 Eco Cubes

"I had an unforgettable stay at Area 4 in Ella, Sri Lanka! The views were absolutely breathtaking, with panoramic scenes of lush green landscapes and mist-covered mountains. It was the perfect place to relax and soak in the natural beauty. The service was exceptional – the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure all our needs were met. The food was delicious, with a variety of local and international dishes that were freshly prepared and full of flavor. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat in nature with amazing service, Area 4 in Ella is definitely the place to be! Highly recommended! 👌👌"

Dolape Budget

"This was the worse stay I ever had in my life. I ended up in Daria and puking. The kitchen was a mess and the food was really bad. Nobody should ever go to this place. And the place is not as in the picture. They charge a really high rate but they don’t even responsible for what they charge for. They don’t even change the bed covers or replace towels."

Wild Resort Ella

"Fantastic location, the views are stunning! The guys there are so lovely, very helpful nothing is too much trouble. They also make a gorgeous breakfast! The main part of Ella is just a short tuk tuk ride. We were sad to leave here and would happily have stayed for longer."

Lilara Hills - Diyatalawa

"The hotel is nestled in the mountains, with a beautiful environment and a large terrace. The owners are a very kind couple, and the breakfast is plentiful, with delicious black tea. There are many photo opportunities around the hotel; I even captured the starry sky, the Milky Way, and fireflies from the terrace. It's incredibly good value for money and highly recommended."

Clio Ella Resort

"We were two couples who booked this property for two nights, and unfortunately, it turned out to be a complete nightmare. From the very first night, the experience was alarming. Upon entering our room, we found a squirrel and a large mouse inside. This was extremely frightening, and we spent the entire night anxious and unable to rest. To make matters worse, after 11 PM the property staff switched off their phones, leaving us with no support during an emergency. The rooms have open roof gaps, which allow animals like mice and squirrels to freely enter. We raised this issue after the first night, and the management changed our rooms for the second night. Sadly, the problem continued. There were monkeys on the roof, and during the second night, an animal (most likely a mouse) ate the strawberries, milk pudding, and other food kept in the room. Another unsettling aspect was that out of nearly 25 rooms, only our two rooms were occupied. The entire property felt deserted and isolated, located deep in the jungle, which made the experience even more uncomfortable and unsafe. Access to the property is only via a cable car, which felt highly unreliable and unsafe, as if it could stop or fail at any moment. After checking other reviews, we learned that if the cable car stops working, there is no alternative access—guests are expected to hike to or from the property, which is completely impractical. Additionally, the resort is located around 10–15 km outside Ella, so you miss out on Ella’s pleasant weather and convenience altogether. Overall, we strongly do not recommend booking this property. The safety concerns, lack of staff support, wildlife intrusion, and poor accessibility make it an extremely stressful experience rather than a relaxing stay."

"It's fine for a quick stay, and if you rent a motorbike, you'll have parking space too. The lack of hot water was the worst part, but for the price you pay, you can't expect much."

Ollie Resort

"Our reservation, made back in April 2025, was cancelled the night before our arrival due to overbooking. I find it unacceptable that they were unable to manage guest planning until the very last moment. We were simply told to cancel the booking ourselves, and no assistance was offered to help us find alternative accommodation. After that, they stopped responding entirely. This is not what I would expect from professional customer service. Very disappointing."

Ella Red Rock

"First of all, the breakfast was very delicious. It was a good idea to ask for a Sri Lankan style breakfast. I think the female staff member is a very good cook. They make fresh, hot meals every time. The location is a bit of a walk, but it's not a problem at all. The room is clean and spacious, and the shower is solid. I'm surprised that the price is so low. You can also see the morning sun from your room window. All the staff are also kind. I would definitely like to visit again when I come to Sri Lanka."

Awesome Place Hotel

"A beautiful location. Peaceful and serene overlooking the mountains. The place lacked some amenities like a reliable and stable Internet connection so doing work should not be on the cards. The service by Sri was outstanding and he did all possible to ensure we had a lovely stay. My family of 5 had the whole place to ourselves. Food was good and prepared in a manner that was not too hot and spicy."
