The photos of this property don’t convey the relaxing atmosphere and ambience of the place. Such an unexpected delight. The breakfast was huge. We were so well taken care of and would come back in a heart beat.

Priyanga is an excellent host and always approachable. The property is located very close to the road from where Little Adam's peak hike begins. The property is 10 mins away by tuk tuk and 20 mins away by walk from the main town. The balcony and the view from the balcony are worth all the money. The cherry on the cake is the delicious breakfast (with a view) served by Priyanga. Recommend this property to those visiting Ella.

I had an absolutely fantastic stay at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, the service was impeccable. The staff were incredibly welcoming, professional, and always went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable. everyone was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The accommodation itself was top-notch—clean, spacious, and thoughtfully designed. Every detail, from the bedding to the amenities, reflected a commitment to quality and comfort. It felt more like a home away from home than just a hotel rooms.definitely we will back.

This accommodation was stunning. The room over looks the forest, it is so peaceful and beautiful, we liked that it was a little out of the busy loud town. It was only a short walk down the train tracks to town anyways. The family was so sweet and so accomodating. The breakfast was also the best weve had the whole trip. We wish we’d stayed longer. Definitely recommend this place to everyone, its beautiful.

We had a truly wonderful stay at Nature Lodge Bandarawela! The place exceeded our expectations in every way. It’s a perfect home away from home with everything thoughtfully provided. The lodge comes with a fully equipped kitchen—complete with kitchenware, spices, and all the essentials, making it easy and convenient to prepare meals. There’s a cozy living area with a TV, fridge, and a comfortable sofa bed, ideal for relaxing after a day of exploring. The bedroom is spacious, featuring a double bed and a bunk bed, perfect for couples, families or groups. The bathroom has hot water, and the entire property is exceptionally clean and well-maintained. A special thanks to Mr. Lal, who made our stay extra special. Every morning, he served a delicious breakfast right on time, and was always kind, helpful, and ready to assist with anything we needed. The Wi-Fi worked perfectly, and we truly appreciated the peace of mind provided by the CCTV cameras around the property—it's very secure, so there’s no need to worry. Overall, this place is absolutely worth the money. It’s a peaceful, clean, and welcoming environment. We highly recommend Nature Lodge to anyone visiting Bandarawela!

We had great time in a Silver Tips Villa. We stayed there for a few nights with breakfasts included. For this price, it was much better then we expected it would be. Rooms were very clear and comfortable. Hosts are very kind people, and breakfast prepared for us were delicious. Highly recommended

Kapi has changed the name of his guest house . So read the reviews under Effing moon Ella as well .Huge breakfast for a one person . Yogurt fruit eggs coffee tea honey toast . All made with fresh ingredients every meal. Kapi goes to the market very early in the morning to buy the ingredients for breakfast and In the afternoon for your dinner. So please tell Kapi what time you will want to eat and if you want to order his dinner, huge potions and he makes some traditional dishes only from the local Ella area. He is a very good cook . Takes pride in the food served to you. He will explain what it is and how to make it. He truly is a great chef and prices at 800R for dinner !! So about the service you can experience here. I came for 2 days and stayed 7 days. Kapi was a guide before and he will take you to beautiful places. Lookouts high on the hills that locals go to. . With beautiful drives up and back . Using his older neighbors Tuk Tuk . The prices were half that of average charges in Ella. We did a day trip to Buttella to visit the water fall. The drive was so beautiful. Kapi went with me to show me the way on foot to the 9 arch bridge then to little Adams peak, local markets in small towns near by. All using his neighbors Tuk Tuk and very cheap charges. This is a true homestay . You will be supporting a local man who lives with his aging dad. Who live very simple and both very honest, humble, genuine people . There is no internet ATM . But the signal is very strong for your phone. I watched movies every day with no problems. Kapi likes to sit out at night and watch the stars . You can sit with him to . After 2 days I asked him to eat with me at the table for dinner . This was very enjoyable for me as I had the pleasure of getting to know more about Kapi and village simple life. There is a small shop with simple snacks about 10 mins walk . 500R for neighbors Tuk Tuk to town 1 way. Or walk the train tracks . I wish him the best of everything. Best stay.
