The owners Saman and Sandive were very welcoming. They made sure that everything in the room was ready before our arrival. Both are extremely friendly and helpful. The room was just amazing, spotless clean, you can definitely sense the attention to every detail. The location is great, quiet and peaceful, surrounded by trees all around. The view is spectacular, you can see the waterfall and hear the sound of running water from distance when lying in your bed, just a wonderful scene to wake up to. Saman prepared a delicious breakfast and delivered it to the room by herself just to make sure that we do not need anything else. This was by far one of the best places we have been to in Ella. We would definitely book that place again on every trip back to Ella. We highly recommend this place.

The first thing that strikes me is the jaw-dropping view in front of the guest house. The place in itself was nice with a homely atmosphere with super-friendly staff, especially the manager (think his name was Sanath). I checked in late in the afternoon which was well after lunchtime and they were super nice to offer me a fresh and tasty meal. I enjoyed this kind of hospitality throughout my 2 day-long stay. This was exactly the place I was looking for when I planned my visit to Ella.

Great service! The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, from booking tours to helping us with a packed breakfast when we checked out at 6 am. Room was nice, spacious and had a cool view with lots of monkeys.

The stay was great. The room was nice and clean. The service was of a high standard, the owners did their best to fulfill all our wishes. Best breakfast in Sri Lanka, lots of varieties and delicious food. It's a bit further away from town but the owners can order Tuk Tuk at a good price. Perfect place to start our trek to Ella Rock. When you like a place in nature this is the place for you. The view from the room is great. Overall I highly recommend this place.
