Łukasz

From

Poland

This place is like an oasis of peace and quiet from the noisy and crowded place that is Ella. The bungalow is located on the mountainside with a beautiful view. The terrace with a hammock was my favorite place where I could observe nature while drinking a cup of warm tea. The rooms are clean, the water in the bathroom is hot. The only downside is that you can hear a little bit of the person from the next room. The staff is great, thank you very much for these evening conversations

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
