The stay had the best view of the main attraction in Ella i.e. Nine Arche Bridge. The room & bathroom was very clean and pretty. The food served was tasty & healthy. Host Nihal & his family were very humble and responsive. We loved our stay and completely recommend you to book this if you are traveling to Ella.

This house has all the necessary amenities for a trip. The view from the terrace to the jungle, even during the rain, is calming. The hostess is super polite and super kind. The road to the hotel is a bit difficult if you are driving your own car, so we did not risk going down to the city in the evening. But we still liked everything very much.

For our group of six occupying three rooms, this was a wonderful place we truly enjoyed. It’s located outside Ella, but the 6 km walk along the railway is easy and filled with great views; the train ride is also a memorable experience and highly recommended. The accommodation feels authentic, with beautiful vistas and the gentle sounds of nature and local life. The host and his family are extremely friendly and helpful; we always felt safe and welcome. The owner even took us to a nearby tea factory for a fantastic private tour. Breakfast was a typical local meal; we apologise again to the host for not fully appreciating it. We highly recommend booking this place – every morning here is magical! 😊

Arawe Retreat isn’t just a hotel or an apartment—it’s paradise! The location is absolutely stunning, nestled in the heart of the jungle, offering serene tranquility with the soothing sounds of frogs and crickets at night, all while being within walking distance of the town center. Don’t feel like walking? Take advantage of the complimentary tuk-tuk service they provide. The accommodation is beautifully and thoughtfully designed, with attention to even the smallest details. The bathroom is a true delight to behold! And the food, the staff—everything is simply amazing. I had read many glowing reviews before arriving and had high expectations, but this surpassed them all. It might not be the cheapest option in the area, but the experience is worth every single penny!

This has been our best stay in Sri Lanka without doubt. Renu is an incredibly inspiring woman, mother and co-owner who will do everything in her power to make your stay intimate, comfortable and convenient. She puts an umbrella in front of your door when it rains; she looks out the window to see how far you are to prepare breakfast; she brings everything to your table and removes it quietly. Not to mention the room, with its high double roofed ceiling that makes you feel like you’re in a nest on a treetop. It’s spacious, spotless clean (no sign of dump despite daily rain in Ella) and everything works perfectly, even though it’s literally a hanging cottage. The view from the bed/balcony is breathtaking and different every day, and you even see the famous train passing at your feet. DIGITAL NOMADS: we had quite good wifi, enough for videocalls most times of the day, but bring a sim card with data just in case.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Miracle View. The cottage is spacious, comfortable, and very clean, with lovely beds and a great shower. Waking up with the truly stunning view each morning was a joy. The host is incredibly friendly and helpful. Every morning, a generous and varied breakfast was served, with something different each day. A real luxury to start the day. The house is located on top of a hill, which gives you those amazing views. It’s quite a challenging climb on foot, but the host was always happy to pick us up, even when we had our own tuk-tuk. For trips to the center, he also arranged a reliable tuk-tuk taxi without any trouble. All in all, a wonderful place to stay with a warm welcome, great facilities, and service that truly stands out. We would definitely come back.

    Our stay at River Lodge was very pleasant. The room was clean, spacious, comfy bed & shower. You can hear the river from the rooms and restaurant. The local Sri Lankan food was really tasty. The owner and his colleagues are very friendly and made us feel like home. In the morning we took bath in the river and lay in the grass under the trees to read a book. The room is very cheap for the quality of the stay. We really recommend staying at River Lodge!
