Super friendly and helpful owners. Clean big rooms. Clean sheets. Nice breakfast. I asked for traditional Sri Lanka and I got black tea, pancakes with their coconut sugar filling with a pinch of cardamom and fresh fruits. My partner had a continental breakfast. The view is amazing and you get breakfast on the terrace in front of your room. It’s working distance from the main streets of Ella but still far enough to avoid the noise of a very crowded center.

Loved our stay!!! The hosts are such beautiful people. Ensured our stay was comfortable and cooked delicious meals. They also organised activities around Ella for us to go to. Drove us around in their tuktuk. The room itself is phenomenal. Overlooking the nine arch bridge. Very quiet and beautiful. Highly recommend staying here. Beautiful home and beautiful people!! We were very sad to leave

Can highly recommend this place! Sri Lankan people are friendly, but this is next level. Super friendly host and his family. The view from our reading nook is terrific, better than the nine arches itself. It’s a spacious room, with a Beamer to watch TV during the rain, and very good bathroom. Part of their service is the outstanding breakfast, served one level below, looking out over the valley. It may be located a bit further from the city center, but they offered to drive us anywhere any time with the TukTuk for low rates, did our laundry, and arranged our taxi for tomorrow for a price we couldn’t arrange for ourselves. Long story short, I highly recommend this place!

This was one of my favourite accommodations in Sri Lanka. The room and the balcony were very beautiful and comfortable. But the best part was the incredibly nice and thoughtful hosts, who were always available to help and make sure the stay is as comfortable as possible. And not to forget the amazing food! Breakfast was massive and delicious, and I had one of my best meals in Sri Lanka for dinner. It is located right on the main road, which makes it very accessible, but you can hear the vehicles passing. It is about 20min walk or short Tuktuk (which the hosts will be happy to help organize) to the center. I would stay again if I ever come back!

Everything was very clean. We had hot water, toilet paper, soap, and good wifi. The breakfast was very delicious and every day we had something different. The family was welcoming and helped us in every possible way when we asked. It is literally in the middle of nature, very quiet, green, and you can enjoy the sound of birds,insects. Highly recommend Mountain Shack if you want a relaxing, quiet stay in Ella!

United Kingdom

Serene environment, top quality service from the lovely owner, the room was immaculate with everything we needed and very picturesque. The host even provided us with tea, water and laundry service. Possibly the best place we’ve stayed in Sri Lanka, and do not be put off by the negative reviews regarding the driveway, it is easy via Tuktuk and worth it for the views and privacy. Their tuktuk shuttle is free and available 24/7 - thank you again for a wonderful stay ❤️ the best place to eat is Ella Siyapatha Hut Restaurant. This was the most authentic meal we had that was cooked by the gorgeous family. Truly an amazing experience if you’re in Zella
