This was the highlight of our holiday. Don't hesitate, just book it and you won't regret it. Staff were extremely kind, caring, helpful and made sure our stay was perfect. Luxurious touch in service and surrounding garden and restaurant area. Food was excellent, try their Sri Lankan menu! Also the view was amazing. This was the best place we stayed in during our three week trip. We have already recommended Chill Ville to our friends. We will be back.

Staying at Wood Palace in Ella was one of the highlights of my trip. The location is perfect — it feels like you’re tucked away in the jungle, surrounded by nature and total peace, yet you’re only a short stroll from town, cafes, and everything you need. That balance between seclusion and convenience is hard to find, but this place nails it. The family who runs it make the stay extra special. The mother who prepares breakfast is absolutely adorable — she cooks with such care, and her warm smile makes every morning brighter. The breakfasts themselves are delicious, fresh, and generous. The owner is a great bloke too — kind, genuine, and always ready to help with tips, directions, or just a good chat. If you want a stay in Ella that feels authentic, welcoming, and beautifully set in nature without being far from the action, Wood Palace is the perfect choice. Highly recommended! 🌿✨

Exceptional!!! Really! We stayed for 2 nights and it was awesome. Besides the wonderful cottage and the stunning view, which makes it hard to even leave the place, you have an owner that goes far beyond the usual service. Breakfast on your balcony with fresh fruits and local specialities, he drops you to your street, he thinks ahead and brings you extra water. And the amenities are great ! would give 15/10 if possible.

    Ella is a wonderful place to explore.

    Ella is a wonderful place to explore. It’s very clean and has breathtaking views everywhere. The people are kind, the local food is amazing, and it’s perfect for families, friends, or groups. With easy access to Nine Arches Bridge, Little Adam’s Peak, Ella Rock, and tea plantations, it’s an ideal base for a week of sightseeing and adventure.

    We loved the Mountain View’s.

    We loved the Mountain View’s. The Main Street is a little crowded and all of the walkways are uneven. Everything is on a hill and there is a lot of walking . Stairs do not have handrails. The sites to see in the city are not easily accessible without transportation. Tuk tuk rides are very bumpy. Most of the tourists in the city are young . As an older traveler over 70, I would not recommend this location to an older adult unless you are very healthy and have good stamina for walking, heat, and bumpy rides.

    Ella is in the mountains so there is a lot of walking and lots of stairs and climbing. We saw young back packers as the majority of visitors. It was hot and humid so drinking water was very important. The tea plantation tour was good and informative. The arches trip involved a harrowing drive up a narrow bumpy road. Waterfalls were always full of people. The town is great with lots of dining options and great shops!

    The amazing and perfect nature around Ella is getting over exploited. Too many buildings (hotels in particular) are under construction in the delicate hills of Ella, they should protect the environment as the place will loose its magic if it becomes just some kind of shopping mall / tourist centre. The hotels are already enough, no need for more.

    98 Acres Resort is located in an idyllic setting amongst the lush mountainous region of Ella. The view from our villa, and especially from reception, is spectacular. When we checked into the hotel, there was a lovely Hindu welcome ceremony. The villa itself was quite comfortable but I would not say that it was luxurious. Even though 98 Acres Resort is set in a fairly remote region, our villa had no problem with hot water or the shower’s water pressure. Breakfast was good with ample offerings.

    The place is up the hill so you have to take a tuk tuk from Ella city center. Nevertheless, it has a very nice view and you can practice morning yoga on the terrace as it is covered with a roof and enjoy a breakfast. The hosts are nice people. This place is very affordable so even though the reviews are high, you cannot expect a luxury or anything like that. We were there for two nights and it was ok. I would not recommend it for a longer period.

    Gorgeous location and absolutely beautiful buildings. Incredible wildlife; we saw beautiful endemic birds, a lemur and a small wild cat of some kind. Hotel manager was so kind and patient and the breakfasts were the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka. Top tip, ask him to put you in touch with Sugala, a brilliant tuktuk driver - super reasonable and lovely bloke. Also close to a set of stairs for a challenging but unique entrance to Ella Rock!

    This hotel deserves its name! We had a great view on the surroundings: water fall, Adam’s peak and Ella rock. On top, we had the best breakfast on Sri Lanka in this hotel. The owners were very friendly. We were picked up from the main street to the premises by a tuk tuk.
