We had a wonderful stay! The private room was beautiful, tastefully decorated, and offered a stunning view. The host is such a kind and welcoming person — we felt comfortable right away. He even took us on a tuk-tuk tour to show us the main sights, which was amazing and something we highly recommend!

Nice and comfortable room very close to Ella main road. Hosts are very nice and friendly. Place only has 1 room for guests, making it extremely personal and enjoyable stay. Shower and bathroom was very clean.

The host, Ake, was very friendly and helpful. The view from the rooms and the terrace is really stunning and with lots of beautiful birds. We saw chestnut-headed beeaters, common hawk-cuckoo, woodpecker, brown-headed barbet, sunbirds and red-vented bulbuls. The property is away from the road and quiet which is a bonus, however, still in a short walking distance from the city center. AC was working fine, the bath is the best we have tried on our 2 week trip to Sri Lanka and the breakfast is good.

we were flabbergasted by the view at ella gap from the rooftop. crew was amazingly helpful. they drove our tuktuk up to the guesthouse because we didn’t dare to drive the steep hill. hilltop is away from the busy and loud mainstreet. superquiet allthough 5 minutes from the centre. our host gave us the perfect advice to get around.
