This place is incredible :) our best accomodation in Sri Lanka. View is spectacular, we can see Ravana waterfall from bed. Room is very clean, cosy, owners thought about everything: hot shower, fridge, cool glasses and water, shampoo and shower gel, we can use even hairdryer here! Tasty, local breakfast, juices, coffee. Very kind and helpful owners, we felt very comfortable and spent fantastic time here. Highly recommend! Thank you for having us 🌸

By far our best accommodation in Sri Lanka! The room is spacious, tastefully decorated, with a clean bathroom and a very comfortable bed. The view from the balcony (both from the room and the breakfast area) is breathtaking and the owner is very friendly and welcoming. To top it off, breakfast is fresh, copious and with a good mix of local and more Western options. The only thing we regret is that we could stay only one night.

Where to start! The room was incredible - rustic done in a beautiful way with so many creative details. Very comfortable stay. Nice balcony facing jungle so can listen to nature and watch for birds and monkeys. Delicious breakfast served on this balcony for a lovely experience. Easy walking distance to main road and sights. Amazing couple run this place - so warm and hospitable.

we had a wonderful stay here! The place was very clean and well-maintained, offering great value for the money. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, with a lovely selection of fresh fruits. The owner is incredibly kind and clearly dedicated to making guests feel welcome and comfortable. I would highly recommend this place to anyone, and I’ll definitely be coming back on my next visit!

The owner guy was very friendly. They allowed us to keep the luggages for an early check as we arrived the city earlrier than we expected. We booked the tuk tuk with the same owner guy, who took us to all the destinations we asked for, that too from early morning 5am. He charged around 5000lkr which is very reasonable compared to the other drivers. On the way, he explained about all the places. The stay was super comfy. He carried our luggages all the way from the place where the tuk tuk were dropped. Our luggages were very heavy. but he was really helpful. SDuring night, we were very tired and at the same time we were hungry, but coulndt go out. When we explained this to them, he went to the city and got the food for us. As no food apps work on that region. Highly recommend this place for the super stay surrounded by a lot of humanity towards the people.

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.

Really great location just up from the high street in quiet area. Pleasant terrace outside room with place to relax. Good hot shower with good pressure. Large bed and friendly host who offered lots of travel advice. No aircon in room, but air cooler in room was sufficient
