"The building looks lovely and the grounds are beautiful BUT the room wasn’t great , the bathroom had an old shower curtain and the shower was above the bath. The bed was uncomfortable and the room was small and dark. it was my birthday and there was no mention of this even though my husband had given advanced information. The buffet and dining room looked spectacular but the food quality wasn’t what we were expecting given the visual wow factor. My least favourite hotel whilst staying in Sri Lanka. "

"Very different kind of stay compared to a regular hotell. Nice view from the balcony with monkeys jumping around in the trees. The cottage was also clean and no problem to walk to Ella city centre from it. The guy who saw to the place was very friendly and helpfull. Good breakfast as well. "

"The view was absolutely amazing, but unfortunately the hotel booster pump was directly above our room, & could hear it running all night. The booster pump noise was completed by the smell of the septic tank coming through the bathroom vent, adding to the negative experience of the hotel. The hard mattress and the lack of bedding was the icing on the cake. You’ll probably want to find different accommodation. "

"One to gate-keep — a true hidden gem in Ella! This hotel is truly amazing. The views are absolutely breathtaking, and the architecture and interior design are beautifully thought through, creating a space that feels both stylish and in harmony with the surroundings. The rooms are clean, contemporary, and very comfortable, and the food offers a fresh take on traditional dishes. What really makes the stay special is the staff — they are incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. Although the hotel is just a short 5-minute tuk-tuk drive from the centre of Ella, it feels peacefully tucked away in nature. It’s the perfect spot if you want to enjoy the stunning scenery of Sri Lanka while still being conveniently close to the town. A beautiful and relaxing place to stay that I would highly recommend."

"Lovely friendly staff, good location. Basic room but value for money. But noisy from building work and other guests. "

"Will be back! Amazing atmosphete, incredible service by Supun. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟"

"The room was nice and clean and the staff were really helpful and friendly. The only real downside was the location which was up at the top of a very steep road which a lot less accessible than portrayed. However, the views from the property were amazing and it was nice to be away from the crazy traffic and noise of Ella town. "

"The staff! This is what stood out. Very nice people. The room was big and clean. Confortable bed. Food was very good and there again the kitchen staff was very nice. Beautiful views. "
