"Pros: Beautiful scenery. Near the town Cons: Road to accomodation extremely narrow Slightly scary coming up in tuk tuk in the dark as the road is not in good repair. All good of you dont mind heights" ~Susan

"Pros: Amazing view, with complete privacy as you are the only room in the homestay, completely separated from the main house. Surrounded by nature and it was really beautiful in the rain and in the sun. The breakfast was huge, fresh, and delicious and you could request it at whatever time served right in front of the room. The property is a bit tricky to find down a long driveway - if you’re being driven you can tell them the Arana Eco Lodge which is right next door and all the drivers know it. It was a 15min walk into town up a slight hill but that was super easy, otherwise there are always tuk tuk drivers on the driveway or where it connects to the main road, where you can get to the main town from 500LKR or less. You get an amazing view of the waterfall as you walk up to the accommodation but unfortunately you can’t quite see it from the room, but you can see a valley with lots of birds and other wildlife. Cons: While we were there in monsoon season, there were thunderstorms every evening which meant there were intermittent power cuts (this is common all across Ella, in restaurants and everything, but you should be aware). It flicked on and off a lot, but it was never off too long - it didn’t really bother us. The wifi, as in a lot of places in Sri Lanka, was not great, but it was good enough if you’re not working. These things are common accross all cheaper accommodation in Ella, and we thought for the price it was worth the minor inconvenience" ~Cameron

"Pros: Really good location and gorgeous view on the terrace. For a low cost night it's good. Breakfast great and owners were lovely. There was rainfall when we were out and they very kindly packed away our clothing which was hanging out! Would reccomend :)" ~Hannah
