This is a good value for money place. The children had a great time and enjoyed the swimming pool and billiards. The hotel is on a steep slope but that didn’t bother and the quieter location was actually a nice break from the buzzing town Ella.

We had an absolutely incredible stay at 98 acres. Both the rooms and facilities are gorgeous and make the most of the stunning location. The staff couldn’t be nicer either, especially in the restaurant. Every little detail was thought of - from the welcome blessing and drink to the turndown service. We availed of massages and morning yoga which were also absolutely brilliant. Would highly recommend a stay here.

    Do not miss Ella!

    Do not miss Ella! Ella is such an awesome place for families! We spent 4 nights there but could have stayed another couple of nights. Our favourite cafes were Rainbow Cafe for delicious smoothie bowls and Honey Bee Restaurant for authentic Sri Lankan food and juices at a reasonable price.

Surrounded by lush green hills, waterfalls, and tea plantations, it offers breathtaking views, scenic hikes like Little Adam’s Peak and Ella Rock, and a relaxing, laid-back atmosphere.

    Its a great place to be if you want to cool down after a beach trip. It still gets hot during midday but nights are generally cool. A lot of nature hikes around to pursue. Nice lively environment in town too with shops and restaurants catering to traveller's needs and tastebuds. Tuktuk drivers here are the only downside. They really overcharge you here.

    Coming into Ella via train is highly recommended as it passes through stunning landscape. Two nights was the perfect amount of time to experience local hospitality, food - Mateys Hut was fabulous - and sites. In our one full day we were able to do a Little Adam’s Peak sunrise hike, visit the Nine Arches Bridge (twice!), ride the Zipline, and hike to a waterfall to swim. The kids especially enjoyed the Zipline and waterfall. Ella is a magical place that belongs on anyone’s itinerary - but just a day or two will do most people.

    The bedroom and bathroom were big and spacious. Nice touch having tea making facilities in your room. Had full set of linen on the bed - had a top sheet! First hotel Sri Lanka for me! Breakfast was served on the balcony each morning. Menu changed each day. Always more than you can eat. I was picked up from the station and taken to my transfer at the end of my stay for no cost. The hosts were friendly and helpful. A short walk to Ella waterfall.

    This is a really lovely homestay! It is clean and comfortable and a wonderful haven oasis in the jungle, away from the hectic main road of Ella town. This is not a 5* luxury hotel, it's a clean and comfortable room part of a family's home. It is a little walk - 20 minutes on hilly bumpy road - from the main town, but for me it was perfect. You are already on the way to climb ella rock! I really enjoyed my stay here.

    This hotel boasts an absolutely fantastic location (although high up a hill), making it easy to explore the area and not far from the Ella Rock hiking trail starting point. The entire property was impeccably clean, and the host was incredibly welcoming and friendly. To top it off, the breakfast provided was truly excellent and a great start to the day.

    Gorgeous cabins just outside Ella town for an excellent price. Staff and owner are amazing and so kind - they catered to our every need and took good care of us. The views are stunning, the cabins have every luxury you need (including Netflix!) and we loved the private pool and cozy atmosphere. The breakfast was also delicious!
