Overall I'd definitely recommend this place to others as the location is fantastic - the views that you get of sunrise through the Ella gap from the comfort of your bed are stunning. However, the service here was quite haphazard - they lost our booking so we ended up staying in what is normally the owner's bedroom for the first... More

Eigentlich wollten wir lediglich 2 Sterne vergeben, der dritte ist für die Aussicht von den Terrassen auf die Berge, diese ist wirklich phänomenal. Die Zimmer unterteilen sich in einen "neuen" Bereich, und einen "alten" Bereich. Wir haben jeweils eine Nacht in beiden Bereichen verbracht. Beide Bereiche sind sehr einfach gehalten, es gibt ein Bad im Zimmer, heißes Wasser muß jedoch... More

I think, whoever visits the mountainous area of Sri Lanka must stay in this guest house. The view (from the rooms or the restaurant) is breathtaking. The new rooms are basic but clean enough. The old rooms are in a poor condition; it was acceptable for us for one night. Service is very polite. They provide the standard breakfast given... More

Arrived at the hotel late at night and were shown straight to our room. Typical Sri Lankan quality with flimsy door but room was clean and airy but very basic. A bed, wardrobe, dresser and that was it plus shower room. No TV etc which was not an issue. However, the view of the Ella Gap over our private balcony... More

"devedat" 7 November 2010, decided me to write this review. The owner speaks very good English indeed. In fact he is well educated, erudite and quite knowledgeable about Europe, where he has traveled extensively, as his foto albums indicate. However, there are two owners, brothers, and they alternate. Not impressed by the rooms, which are particularly grim when contrasted with... More

The guesthouse is very nice, clean and very peaceful. The view is amazing, the price is very affordable for having such a stunning view. I recommend this place and also to hike Ella Rock, the view from there is incredible! More

Contrary to many revisions, this guesthouse turned to be a very clean and well maintained place with amazing view. In the morning, when we woke up and saw the Ella Gap, it felt like being gods of the world... There is nice garden, small plants everywhere, and good care for the driver. Staff service and owner's hospitality though shall be... More

Perched high in the mountains with spectacular views of Ella Gap, Little Adams Peak and uninterrupted views to the south, we experience stunning views over the mountain ranges. Only 4 rooms available so you would think this would be a quiet retreat. It is until bed time when lots of different noises (not pleasant noises you would expect from such... More
