「My stay was incredible! The balcony view was mesmerizing, and I could've gazed at it for hours. Everything was flawless, and the owner's delicious breakfasts made it even better. They ensured we felt right at home.」
「A really lovely accommodation with the most incredible views. The room was clean and spacious with a balcony so you wake up to a view of the mountails The host Priyanatha is so warm, welcoming and always available to help. Breakfast was lovely (especially the hoppers). A short walk (or tuk tuk) into town. Loved my stay here! Thank you!」
「We had the BEST time at Ella Retreat! Sadly on 34 hours long but this hotel is seriously beautiful, better than the pictures.
You need a head for heights on the (slightly hairy) tuk tuk ride up the mountain, but once you're there this is a haven that you simply cannot afford to miss on your trip to Sri Lanka.
The location is mind-blowing, the rooms extremely nicely done and the food delicious.
Amazing quality service, we were in WhatsApp communication for ages before arriving and they were...
「Les hôtes ont été hyper accueillants et pleins de bons conseils, toujours prêts à rendre service (laundry, location scooter, conseils visites, accès restaurant, réservation tuk tuk...), la chambre avait une très jolie vue, c'était calme ... Nous avons passé un très bon séjour ! 」
「Très bel hôtel sur les hauteurs de la ville, personnel serviable. Magnifique vue sur les montagnes. Chambre avec belle terrasse
Un peu éloigné de la ville, il faut prendre un tuktuk, cependant l'hôtel nous a proposé leur service.
Et la ville est très animée et très sympa.

「An amazing experience, sleeping in the canopy of the forest. We saw lots of animals and fireflies at night. Accommodation is basic as you would expect but beds and bathroom were clean. Ella is a 5-10 minute walk away via the railway tracks. Route was easy to find as directed by our host. Breakfast was delicious and filling.」
「This year, I have slept on multiple beds in multiple countries. Colombia, Guatemala, Belize, Mexico, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Jordan, Sri Lanka, and Ella Green Cottages had the best mattress I've had all year. My first night at Ella Green Cottages was literally the best night of sleep that I had in months.
Also, whenever I needed anything, the employees immediately stopped doing whatever they were doing and saw to my needs. Best customer service I experienced in the country. 」
「This place is magical! Truly a stay in the jungle. There’s no road to the cabin so the last part you have to walk on the railway. However the staff were really helpful and carried our suitcases the whole way - so do recommend to pack lightly. The place was amazing and the staff were so kind and helpful. Highly recommend! 」
「Dejligt sted hos Ayubo og værterne var excellent. Dejlig middag og morgenmad. Ligger lidt afsides dog ikke et problem. God udsigt og dejlige værelser med balkon. 」
「Great location, right next to the Main Street where all the restaurants and shops.
The hotel itself is more of a guest house. Rooms are very basic - but very large. Can easily accommodate 4 people.
Breakfast is either sri-lanken or western, they are very generous with the quantities.
If you are looking for a 4/5 star hotel - it’s not the place for you.
It is a low budget option for families who prefer that kind of experience.
We enjoyed :)」
「A wonderful and very wellcoming place to stay. The owner treats his guests like his own family members, me and my mom - we felt taken care of, we felt safe and protected, we got lots and lots of good and helpful information and had a WONDERFUL, wonderful experience with the owner and his wife, who's home-baked cake I will always remember with saliva in my mouth. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!」
