The property didn’t have our booking so after 1/2h waiting around not knowing what was happening, they arranged another room somewhere else for us. The other hotel was much cheaper and not as nice so we agreed as long as we had a compensation for the inconvenience and price difference it was fine. The owner agreed to give us free dinner and breakfast. The next day they gave us the bill for both, plus asked us to pay for the new room threatening to call the police (but I had already paid Expedia). Awful experience. Beautiful views in that area but can’t walk anywhere, would need tuk tuk to go anywhere. Save yourself the stress and extra payment and book somewhere else

This property is the most beautiful place I’ve stayed at in Sri Lanka. At first, it was difficult to find as it was tucked away behind a school, but once we found it the view was amazing! The sunrises in the morning from their patio is a must-see. What stood out to me the most was the generosity of the family that owns this place. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was wonderful. A little bit difficult to get from the property into Ella city as the climb to the main road to access a tuktuk is quite daunting, but the family were kind enough to arrange a tuktuk for us when we wanted to head into the city. Also, they served the BEST breakfast!

Hidden gem
Beautiful little gem tucked away on the side of a mountain. Also, just steps away from the train tracks. Chandu and family, who run the hotel, are so sweet and attentive.

I went off the review that was made in January 2022, and I am glad that did. Like the previous reviewer the area is a little bit daunting but I found that it was only so because we arrived when it was dark outside. When it was day time or early evening, it was fine, and if you arrive in a big van like we did, you can contact the hotel and they can help with your arrival! About the hotel experience itself. It was probably one of my most meaningful hotel experiences ever(!) and its because of the family who runs it. The absolute kindest people you will ever meet, we met a lady, a man, and their son and daughter and each one of them just radiated kindness and care for their guests. We arrived late, and quickly discussed if dinner would be possible- they made it happen and it was a huge dinner at such a low price! We were a big group and took up several rooms, every room was super clean, and had very comfortable beds. The next morning we woke up to the most beautiful view, it was beyond stunning - I suggest that if you stay here to try and be on the balcony/patio at sunset or sunrise, because it is truly spectacular. We had the most wonderful breakfast with the view (her hoppers/appams were delicious!) Not only was the hotel clean and comfortable, it had a million dollar view and such a beautiful family hosting- I will definitely return!

Give it a chance - you won't regret it!
We arrived at night, and on first impressions, honestly it didn't look good. We were taken down a dark steep hill, into an area where it felt like we were about to be robbed. But then around the corner our driver introduced his lovely, smiling mum, and they showed us a lovely room with two beds, and asked if we wanted a tea - to which we said yes, and asked also for food. The mother smiled agreement, the son suggested a really cheap price, and they told us food would be served in an hour. The room was basic, but clean, and nice colourful touches had been added. I was worried to see that there was no AC, only a standing fan, but it turned out that we really didn't need it as it gets cold in the evening. One of the daughters knocked on our door in around 20mins and we were taken round to a little outside seating area which was attached to our room. She'd set up a lovely tea set. As we had our tea, we saw people scurrying past with bits and pieces for our dinner and they all smiled and welcomed us. When dinner was ready we were taken to the main eating area, where the most lovely, generous spread of local food was provided. We met other members of the family, and we chatted with other guests. Our night was perfectly lovely - water pressure was a bit low, but no other complaints. In the morning, the place was entirely different - we were on the edge of a mountain! The view was incredible! Breakfast was another generous spread. I highly recommend this genuine place.

Great views and value for money
Lovely stay with great views overlooking the surrounding hills. The lady running the hotel was very nice and helpful, sorting us taxis and a laundry service. The breakfast was really good and huge!

Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt. Die Unterkunft war sehr gemütlich und schön eingerichtet. Alles war sehr sauber. Tolle Aussicht von der Terasse. Die Inhaber Familie ist so nett und hilfsbereit! Sogar als wir Geld im Hotel nach unserem Check Out vergessen haben, kümmerte man sich darum, dass wir es zurück erhalten. Vielen Dank dafür! Wir können diese Unterkunft wärmstens empfehlen!
