Serene environment, top quality service from the lovely owner, the room was immaculate with everything we needed and very picturesque. The host even provided us with tea, water and laundry service. Possibly the best place we’ve stayed in Sri Lanka, and do not be put off by the negative reviews regarding the driveway, it is easy via Tuktuk and worth it for the views and privacy. Their tuktuk shuttle is free and available 24/7 - thank you again for a wonderful stay ❤️ the best place to eat is Ella Siyapatha Hut Restaurant. This was the most authentic meal we had that was cooked by the gorgeous family. Truly an amazing experience if you’re in Zella

Wow, what a special place! We spent 2 nights here and the family couldn’t do enough for us- so kind and generous. They made us cups of tea and coffee when we arrived and throughout our stay. Stunning location in the jungle away from the centre of Ella, with views across to Little Adam’s Peak. Delicious food- they made us an amazing curry on our 1st night- 7 different kinds with rice! And the breakfast….just delicious. Our room was very clean with a comfortable bed, mosquito net and a balcony overlooking the family farm and onto beautiful views. We used their taxi to get us around and to our next destination. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. 😊

This accommodation is amazing. The owners are incredible. The breakfast was the best by far. The location was outstanding, so quiet and 5 minutes walk to the nine arch bridge. These guys are amazing! We cannot recommend them enough. We wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you. And your children and beautiful wife was gorgeous. Thank you for an outstanding experience!

One of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at! The views were absolutely incredible. It is in a nice quiet location about a 5 minute walk from the Main Street. We spent our mornings relaxing on our balcony overlooking the mountains and spotting the different birds in the area ! The breakfast was also outstanding. There are games in the room which are useful for rainy days. The host and hotel staff were incredibly friendly and helped us plan activities & arranged any rides that we needed. We only wish we could’ve stayed longer !

From

United Kingdom

The wonderful host has such an incredible smile and laugh. She made us feel at home straight away and was constantly offering us tea. The provided breakfasts were absolutely massive and delicious, and the one dinner we had at Bliss was equally good. The room was simple but spacious and clean, and you take breakfast on an outdoor table looking over the beautiful forest and beyond. The homestay is a 10 minute Tuktuk ride out of Ella but you are given the number of a fantastic driver who will take you anywhere you need to go in the area at any time.
