Ravana Range Ella ★★★
"The views are absolutely stunning, you can see both Ella Rock and Little Adam's Peak. The terrace is spacious and private, and the room itself is large. There's also a pool, and the staff are very friendly. Once you get used to it, the walk up the hill isn't that far."
Senu Ceylon Ella ★★★
"Truly one of the best homestays we’ve been in. From start to finish we have received the best and kindest service from Krishantha who made us feel at home and was always checking in if we needed anything. The room itself is spacious and has everything you need and overlooks a gorgeous view of Ella. Couldn’t reccomend more!"
Viewfront Ella ★★★
"Stay away from this hotel! The hotel rooms isn’t what’s pictured on booking sites, the entrance is through a forest on a mountain and through other buildings. The walls is stained, door is leaking, and the room are nasty. The entrance pathway crumbled under me so a nail went through my foot and got several scratches. It is NOT a hotel, not even a bungalow. I would rather sleep with the homeless dogs than stay there one night. We checked out 30 minutes after we checked in. At least the manager was nice enough to give a full refund and drive us to another hotel."
Misty Hills Ella Resort ★★★
"Overall we are satisfied. The renovated rooms are comfortable and spacious. The beds are great, and breakfast is good (even if the food is sometimes cold). Just be aware that the hotel is still undergoing renovations, so make sure to request a renovated room. We stayed the first night in a non-renovated room: the air conditioning was broken, the fan was noisy and impossible to use at night, the fridge was constantly running, and the safe didn’t work. We asked to change rooms, and they accommodated us the next day. The staff are friendly as well. The hotel is located a little outside Ella, which is actually a plus since the town can be noisy. And of course, the best feature of this place is the incredible view of the valley and Ella Rock! I would definitely go back to Misty Hills if I return to Ella."
Moi Ella by DBI ★★★★
"The hotel is situated at a distance of 14 Kms from the Elle Railway station. After eight hours in the train it looked quite a long journey to us. The hotel is in middle of a very very dense forest and there is hardly anything around it. The room was too basic for our comfort. The hotel reception manager Mr Sahiru is a very helpful person. We were told that since there are very few guests we have to choose from a set menu, one starter, one main meal and one dessert. It was getting late still I requested Mr Sahiru if they can make food of our choice without altering the quality. He called up chef and it was arrange. The food served was quite tasty and quantity was too plateful. The view of the forest from the top is just amazing but the top most platform to step up is quite risky. The steps are very high, it must be addressed. The mesmerising view is able to connect with the nature. However, we decided to cut short our visit by one day and head to Weligama by paying extra money to them. Since we were leaving early the next day our meal plan of breakfast and dinner was converted in Breakfast and lunch. Again the food was great and chef and staff were very very polite and helpful. Actually the manager felt bad that we are leaving early and offered us to change the room but we politely told them it is not about the room, it is about the isolated location and we can’t do anything in two days. They have a superb swimming pool which we saw the next day kids were enjoying a lot. If you are looking for an absolutely quiet place to spend your stay and you don’t care about staying with luxury you must stay at this place. In the end our gracious thanks to Eranda, Ishaan, Sahiru, and Manjula, at Moi Ella. You were all wonderful people but somehow we were looking for something else. Your Sri Lankan cuisine was out of the world and we loved it. A comment for visitors, all the websites will tell you to visit 9 Arches bridge in Elle but you must note that it is quite a steep and long walk from the road. You can take take a Tuktuk from the road but it will still leave you almost one and half kilometres of very steep downwards and upwards climb. My wife could not do it but went but it was quite a huffing and puffing while coming up. You might decide to go tere depending on how fit you are. As compared to many pictures there is no train ever passing through the nine arches track. Rather there are hundreds of youngsters sitting all over taking selfies."
Ella Flower Garden Resort ★★★★
"The smell of the room is indescribable. We booked it because the surrounding good hotels were fully booked. The hotel bellhops were incredibly busy helping with our luggage. We had four people, two large and two small, and it took three people to carry them. They even lingered after delivering them to the room (wanting a tip). The sheets in the room were extremely dirty."
Ella Walkers Nest ★★★
"It meets expectations. It's located a bit uphill, but at least it's not noisy from the main street (where almost every cafe is packed in the evenings). It's perfect for a quick break and a good night's sleep. The breakfast is excellent—scrambled eggs, toast, a pancake, and a mango smoothie. The staff is very friendly."
Happy Sky Ella ★★★
"We booked this hotel well in advance with an advance payment, which based on the request of the hotel. During the advance payment, inquired about the hotel access road for the vehicles, was possible and confirmed by the hotel itself. On the arrival day (16th April) we turned from the main road to the hotel access road and the drive possibility was limited to certain distance from the main road. We tried our best to take our vehicle up to the hotel even with the help of people were in around, was not possible due to the condition of the road. We contacted the hotel and reported this difficulty and unfortunately the option got from the hotel was, somehow take the vehicle up to the hotel. Since it is almost night, no body was willing to assist us in around, unless we walk up to the hotel with all the luggages and belongings. We made our last effort for some time to move our vehicle up to the hotel and we had to give up all our efforts finally. Since the hotel did not take any further assistance towards us, we had to to look for an alternative option to spend the night. We asked for the possibility of getting a shuttle service, was just ignored. Sad part is, still we did not get any favourable assistance or courtesy call to check our condition and this made us a really disappointment with the hotel. We never received such a negative behaviour and negative attitude from any of the hospitality properties. There is no refund for our advance payment even."
Greenland Villa Ella ★★★
"We had a wonderful stay at Greenland Villa. It is perfectly located right next to the Kithal Ella train station, from which you can directly board the famous train that goes through the nine arch bridge. The property was beautiful, very well equipped with everything we needed including a great kitchen. It was clean, well ventilated, and more importantly it felt like home. The owner took time to decorate it with great taste. On top of that he was such a humble and polite person.Upon arrival he gave us a ride to get our groceries; another day he brought us his homegrown vegetables, which was such a nice gesture. Having said that, there were a couple of issues that needed to be addressed. The WiFi connection was not great, probably because of the location, but we struggled with it. And the breakfast was very carb-heavy, which may work for you but wasn't particularly to our liking. Nonetheless, We would book it again if I ever come back to Ella. We can only recommend Greenland villa highly."

O2 Villas Ella
"Stunning location and very attentive service. Buffet breakfast is excellent and wide variety of food in the evening. Great base to explore nearby with lots to do for all ages and many places to eat. We’re from the UK. Parents + 15 y/o + 17y/o"
Te Dalu Resort & Spa - A Luxury Sanctuary in Ella
"This relatively new hotel is only 5 minute drive from Ella town and down a steep slope off the main road (well sign posted). This in turn provides you with silence and tranquility in allowing you to have a great night's sleep, which we had. As you arrive the building is eye catching in it's design as it's fairly open planned and of a high standard build. The staff here were very attentive, interested in you and extremely polite (if somewhat new & some appeared to be recently trained ie nervous). We stayed for two nights and the hotel wasn't busy so it was fairly quiet which to be fair suited us. As it's fairly new, some minor works were still taking place (although not early morning or late evening), however did prevent us from using the pool, but we did understand though that the work was necessary to further enhance the hotel. The breakfast was beside the outdoor pool with amazing views and it's an excellent breakfast with good variety of choices, well presented by their kitchen. The rooms are a very good size, big bathroom, large bed and great balcony with unbelievable views over the countryside and the temple on the mountain above. Our room was extremely clean with all amenities provided (nice touch in staff turning your bed down each evening). I would fully recommend this hotel as it's unique in its style and presentation with attentive staff and luxurious rooms in an amazing location."
Hotel Onrock
"We had an excellent stay at this hotel. The location is ideal: slightly set back from the main street, which allows for peace and quiet, while still being within walking distance of everything. A huge thank you to the entire team, who are simply exceptional. The staff are lovely, attentive, and truly go above and beyond throughout your stay. You quickly feel right at home. A truly wonderful place that we highly recommend!"
Nine Skies
"Nine Skies is one of the best hotels I have stayed in. Its location is wonderful, with great views and amazing walks from the front door. The staff are very attentive and friendly. The food is delicious and plentiful. We walked from Ella back to the hotel via the nine arch bridge which was very interesting with lots to see. Thank you so much, I hope to return someday."
Tea Garden Holiday Inn
"Friendly hostesses, very kind and welcoming, no problems. Balcony with a beautiful view of the sights of Ella. The only downside is a slightly dirty bed and something black was constantly falling from the roof and something was running there at night) but this is Sri Lanka, problems with the floor and ceiling are common here."
Tea Ridge Ella by Sans
"The place is great the staff are friendly . Breakfast was hot and time upon request thank you for hospitality. My issue is : I had to repay cash my staying , knowing im already prepaid it online . Now i have refund request ongoing, hoping it will closed soon . My whole trip schedule changed and plan due to my current budget ."
Mum Jungle Inn
"Wonderful accommodation in a peaceful environment next to the train station. The room was clean and comfortable. What's more, the staff was very kind and helpful. I would go back there with no hesitation."
Heaven Breeze Hotel Ella
"As expected from a location at the highest point of Ella, the view is the best! .. However, due to the surrounding chaotic development, the roads are narrow and steep, so driving there is thrilling ㅜㅜ.. Since it is still under construction, only the first floor and some facilities are open, and ingredients are not yet fully prepared.. The staff try to be friendly, but charging that price in the current state is excessive."
Dowa Elegance Resort
"The hotel is located on a hillside, offering stunning mountain views. The bathroom in the room was incredibly large. It was the only room in Sri Lanka that wasn't damp during my 20-plus days there. Air conditioning would have been perfect. It's over a 20-minute drive from Ella Town. Ella is mostly hilly, and the winding roads leading to the hotels and B&Bs make it a perfect place for those looking to escape the world for a few days. A special shout-out to the hotel's service team, a group of friendly, down-to-earth local guys. They genuinely want to treat everyone well. Thank you for the delicious breakfast."
Mango Shadow Inn Ella
"It's true that this guesthouse is a bit out of town (a small road). But what peace and quiet, and what authenticity! I really appreciated the warm welcome from this dedicated gentleman. And what a pleasure it was to wake up and discover this place nestled in the heart of the forest. My best breakfast of my entire stay in Sri Lanka, with a view of the mountains and lush vegetation. The room, with its original decor ;-) is very clean and offers all the essential amenities (great Wi-Fi, hairdryer, blankets—essential in this cool mountain spot...). But above all, it's authentic, and the gentleman is lovely and incredibly attentive. He truly deserves to work more. I will definitely return. It's a welcome change from hotels!"
Amado Homestay (Family room)
"My accommodation in Amado homestay was the best we had in Sri Lanka! Very clean, beautiful with amazing view and so delicious breakfast!! The family is so kind and warm hearted. If you are looking a cozy and comfortable stay in Ella , you choose this homestay for sure ✔️"
Poomaz Peace Palace - Ella
"A beautiful stay just a two minute walk from the town centre. The cleanliness of the rooms and the hotel were of the highest quality and the bed was super comfortable. The breakfast on the balcony with a lovely view of the misty hills surrounded by greenery was tasty and generous. Poorna was a lovely host and we enjoyed our one night stay here. Highly recommended if you want to be close to town but without the accompanying noise."
Bridge Front Inn Ella
"The location was absolutely stunning in the heart of the jungle but only a short walk to the nine arch bridge (you can even see the train passing through the trees during the day). The bird song and jungle noise was so peaceful, the rooms were clean, quality bedding and well thought out little touches in terms of toiletries (even some books on the shelf). The breakfast was delicious and so much food! But most importantly to note Yugesh was fantastic at attending to our needs whether that be to organise our laundry to be sent out and cleaned, making sure we had everything we needed for breakfast or coming with us on the walk to the bridge to get the best spots to film the train crossing, pictures etc. He was very kind, professional and thoughtful, he really made our trip. Another person to note was Nimal, the TukTuk driver who helped us easily get about. Free shuttle to Ella town from the hotel which is great! Anything else at an extra cost. Highly recommend this unique stay."
