Many appreciate hillside views from private terraces and the short walk to Ella’s main street. Service stands out, with quick help on tips, transport, laundry, and flexible arrangements. Good for travelers prioritizing value and convenience over full-service amenities.

This is the PERFECT place. The host is amazing. The location is great, walking distance (1 block) to the main area of town but far enough away to be out of the noise and bustle. The rooms are spotless and the breakfast is amazing, served on a private terrace. Highly recommend.

Great property for a quick stay. It is not a luxiourious stay, however the owners are kind and served an amazing breakfast. And the location is amazing. We would stay here in a pinch again! Would have given 5 stars, however we had a small issue with some ants in the washroom.

This place was all I could ask for and more. Clean rooms, modern shower and bathroom with hot water, prefect central location, amazing balcony overlooking the mountains (unbelievable sunsets), and most importantly - amazing hosts that will help you with everything you need (they helped me get my laundry done asap, among other things). The homemade breakfast is delicious and unique, and you can choose when to have it right outside your room. I heard a lot about this place and really glad I got to try it. If they have availability—don’t miss out on this gem. Could not recommend this place more.

Vriendelijk personeel, kamers zijn op het eerste zicht proper maar badkamer is dringend toe aan een goede poetsbeurt. Douchekop zit onder de schimmel en wc pot was al in een hele tijd niet meer deftig gepoetst. Als je niets vraagt, weet je ook van niets betreffende mogelijkheden in de buurt of hotel. Maar dit is typisch Sri Likaans

Thank you for a wonderful stay, Poorna. A great location in Ella, 1-2 minutes walk (down a steep hill) to the main street and perfectly located for hiking to Ella Rock/Nine Arch Bridge/Little Adam’s Peak. Clean, tidy rooms, large fridge, no air con but this wasn’t needed in Ella. Poorna arranged local trips for us via tuk tuk, very cheap laundry facilities, gave us advice about the area and the best routes to take for our hikes. He made contact via WhatsApp before our arrival and had our room ready for us early (no extra charge). He was responsive to messages quickly with helpful responses to our questions about our stay and the area. Breakfast was varied and delicious, made by him and his wife, served on our balcony. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Ella - from experience it was much better to stay just a few minutes off the Main Street, much quieter and beautiful views toward Ella Rock from the room.

Wij hebben enorm genoten van ons verblijf! De accommodatie was netjes, schoon en groot genoeg voor een gezin. Ook de locatie was ideaal – rustig gelegen, maar toch dicht bij bezienswaardigheden en restaurants. Het personeel was vriendelijk en behulpzaam, en stond altijd klaar voor vragen of tips. Ontbijt was goed verzorgd. Kortom: een plek waar we ons direct thuis voelden en zeker nog eens zouden terugkomen. Van harte aanbevolen!

We really enjoyed our stay in the villa. It was lovely and spacious, beds were comfortable and the location was excellent, close enough to the excitement without having to hear any of it. Poorna is very friendly and communicative and they did a great job with our laundry. We saw a mongoose in the yard whilst we were there in addition to the very cute dog that lives there. No air con which was fine but also the windows don't have fly screens on them so we were a bit reluctant to leave them open at night for fear of being eaten by mosquitoes so we relied upon the fans in the room. We didn't have a problem with hot water but we were also mindful to be quick. Overall a lovely place to stay near all the restaurants in town.

Amazing, family-run place. We had a beautiful view of the mountain and they made us a delicious breakfast every morning. The staff were so friendly and accomodating. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious. There is a very steep hill which can be hard if you are bringing yo your own luggage but worth it for the views.

We spent two nights here and we were comfortable even though the room was basic. Breakfast on the balcony was lovely. There’s a steep climb back home after going down to the main street, so you will give your calves a good stretch, but it’s worth it for the view of Little Adam’s Peak that you get in the morning. Overall a very good choice of accommodation in a small, quiet guesthouse.

We had reserved at Poomaz but lost it at the last minute. Poorna helped us find another place for the night. On the second night we stayed at Poomaz. The room was clean and had a beautiful view. Breakfast was delicious. The location was perfect away from the city. The only downside was some barking dogs in the middle of the night but the owners made them stop. Otherwise it was a pleasant stay.

Very friendly owner. He helped me with transportation, cutting the fruit, very quick reply via WhatsApp. If you like to be in the center of city this is a good place. On the other hand you always hear road and music, so not that quiet.

Thank you for a wonderful stay, Poorna. A great location in Ella, 1-2 minutes walk (down a steep hill) to the main street and perfectly located for hiking to Ella Rock/Nine Arch Bridge/Little Adam’s Peak. Clean, tidy rooms, large fridge, no air con but this wasn’t needed in Ella. Poorna arranged local trips for us via tuk tuk, very cheap laundry facilities, gave us advice about the area and the best routes to take for our hikes. He made contact via WhatsApp before our arrival and had our room ready for us early (no extra charge). He was responsive to messages quickly with helpful responses to our questions about our stay and the area. Breakfast was varied and delicious, made by him and his wife, served on our balcony. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Ella - from experience it was much better to stay just a few minutes off the Main Street, much quieter and beautiful views toward Ella Rock from the room.

Wij hebben enorm genoten van ons verblijf! De accommodatie was netjes, schoon en groot genoeg voor een gezin. Ook de locatie was ideaal – rustig gelegen, maar toch dicht bij bezienswaardigheden en restaurants. Het personeel was vriendelijk en behulpzaam, en stond altijd klaar voor vragen of tips. Ontbijt was goed verzorgd. Kortom: een plek waar we ons direct thuis voelden en zeker nog eens zouden terugkomen. Van harte aanbevolen!

This is the PERFECT place. The host is amazing. The location is great, walking distance (1 block) to the main area of town but far enough away to be out of the noise and bustle. The rooms are spotless and the breakfast is amazing, served on a private terrace. Highly recommend.

Great property for a quick stay. It is not a luxiourious stay, however the owners are kind and served an amazing breakfast. And the location is amazing. We would stay here in a pinch again! Would have given 5 stars, however we had a small issue with some ants in the washroom.

This place was all I could ask for and more. Clean rooms, modern shower and bathroom with hot water, prefect central location, amazing balcony overlooking the mountains (unbelievable sunsets), and most importantly - amazing hosts that will help you with everything you need (they helped me get my laundry done asap, among other things). The homemade breakfast is delicious and unique, and you can choose when to have it right outside your room. I heard a lot about this place and really glad I got to try it. If they have availability—don’t miss out on this gem. Could not recommend this place more.

Amazing, family-run place. We had a beautiful view of the mountain and they made us a delicious breakfast every morning. The staff were so friendly and accomodating. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious. There is a very steep hill which can be hard if you are bringing yo your own luggage but worth it for the views.

Very charming little guesthouse right in Ella town but not on the main street. Nice breakfast served on the balcony. Hot water ran out on our first night but not on the second.

Besviken tyvärr, toalettstol trasig men dom lagade nästa dag, dusch svårt att få igång varmvatten, vattentryck jättedåligt och i kranen kom ganska brunt vatten, super kallt på rummet och lite mosquitos då dom hade lämnat fönster öppna utan nät, handdukar dåliga, ingen tv. Frukost får ej att välja för en person på Expedia endast 2 fast man bokat för 1. Läget e bra centralt men ta med öronproppar. Frukost okej för 1300 men kaffet va mest vatten

I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The breakfast is simple and tasty and sets you up well for the day. It’s served on your own balcony which for us had a lovely view of Ella Rock. The guest house is located very close to the Main Street which his filled with restaurants and shops. The walk there and back is very steep, but you are in Ella!! The lovely man who runs this place is so friendly, helpful and welcoming. If you want a local feel this is the place for you.

We really enjoyed our stay in the villa. It was lovely and spacious, beds were comfortable and the location was excellent, close enough to the excitement without having to hear any of it. Poorna is very friendly and communicative and they did a great job with our laundry. We saw a mongoose in the yard whilst we were there in addition to the very cute dog that lives there. No air con which was fine but also the windows don't have fly screens on them so we were a bit reluctant to leave them open at night for fear of being eaten by mosquitoes so we relied upon the fans in the room. We didn't have a problem with hot water but we were also mindful to be quick. Overall a lovely place to stay near all the restaurants in town.
