Hosts are very lovely people. Always happy and great attitude. They juggled us a room upgrade which was very much appreciated. Beautiful views. Nice breakfast. 5 minute walk to town. Walk to Little Adams peak and Ella Rock. Recommended stay.

Soo kind people, nice welcome the breakfast❤️‍🩹 was amazing, well made, and fruits from the garden🌼. Especially the juice😍 (soursop?treefruit) they made straight from their own garden was heaven so good.. We walked up from their place to the nine arches, then a beautiful walk to the arches of mountain little Adam we did that to, had super vegan diner in Ella, and walked back. Amazing nice long walk all together. Exactly our 'peace 😃of cake!🌿🌜

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

We had a wonderful stay at Breeze Blows Inn Guesthouse. The rooms were spacious, beautifully maintained, and ideal for families. Each of our children had their own bed, which gave everyone some much-needed privacy and comfort after a long journey — a real plus! The location is excellent — just a couple of minutes short walk from the center of Ella, so it’s easy to explore the town. There’s also a great outdoor area with a large terrace, comfortable chairs, and a relaxing hammock — perfect for unwinding after a day of travel or sightseeing. Most of all, we truly appreciated the warm welcome and kindness of the guesthouse owner. His hospitality made us feel right at home and really added to the experience. We highly recommend Breeze Blows Inn Guesthouse to anyone visiting Ella!

We have had a great stay at this unique location. It is a lovely and hospitable family who welcomed and served us very well during our stay. The owner was always there for us and helped us with recommendations in the area and offered laundry service. The breakfast is amazing, and served at your chosen time with stunning view. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable! There is no a/c but this was also not needed (22 in the night time) We highly recommend staying here!

This place is one of our favorites in Sri Lanka, with an amazing host, Teesha, who is incredibly kind and eager to provide guests with fantastic experiences. It's also great for animal lovers, thanks to the owner's friendly dogs. With just two rooms, we stayed in the Deluxe Double Room with Balcony, a little slice of paradise. The room boasts a luxurious, spacious bathroom and breathtaking views, especially of the sunrise and sunset. Its location is excellent, just a short walk from Ella's main street. The breakfasts, enjoyed with a stunning view, were exceptionally good and the perfect way to start the day. Truly one of the best and most unique places to stay in Ella.
