📍 Rakkitha Kanda Rd, Ella, Sri Lanka, Badulla

"The hotel is situated at a distance of 14 Kms from the Elle Railway station. After eight hours in the train it looked quite a long journey to us. The hotel is in middle of a very very dense forest and there is hardly anything around it. The room was too basic for our comfort. The hotel reception manager Mr Sahiru is a very helpful person. We were told that since there are very few guests we have to choose from a set menu, one starter, one main meal and one dessert. It was getting late still I requested Mr Sahiru if they can make food of our choice without altering the quality. He called up chef and it was arrange. The food served was quite tasty and quantity was too plateful. The view of the forest from the top is just amazing but the top most platform to step up is quite risky. The steps are very high, it must be addressed. The mesmerising view is able to connect with the nature. However, we decided to cut short our visit by one day and head to Weligama by paying extra money to them. Since we were leaving early the next day our meal plan of breakfast and dinner was converted in Breakfast and lunch. Again the food was great and chef and staff were very very polite and helpful. Actually the manager felt bad that we are leaving early and offered us to change the room but we politely told them it is not about the room, it is about the isolated location and we can’t do anything in two days. They have a superb swimming pool which we saw the next day kids were enjoying a lot. If you are looking for an absolutely quiet place to spend your stay and you don’t care about staying with luxury you must stay at this place. In the end our gracious thanks to Eranda, Ishaan, Sahiru, and Manjula, at Moi Ella. You were all wonderful people but somehow we were looking for something else. Your Sri Lankan cuisine was out of the world and we loved it. A comment for visitors, all the websites will tell you to visit 9 Arches bridge in Elle but you must note that it is quite a steep and long walk from the road. You can take take a Tuktuk from the road but it will still leave you almost one and half kilometres of very steep downwards and upwards climb. My wife could not do it but went but it was quite a huffing and puffing while coming up. You might decide to go tere depending on how fit you are. As compared to many pictures there is no train ever passing through the nine arches track. Rather there are hundreds of youngsters sitting all over taking selfies."

Olive Bungalow - Jetwing Select
9.6 (13 reviews)

Olive Bungalow - Jetwing Select ★★★

📍 VVPX+HW, Welimada, Badulla

"We chose jetting Welimada from Google maps as we wanted to stay at a tea plantation, it exceeded all our wishes. We were met by Shiva the butler who. Was at our elbows every inch of our stay, wanting grant our every wish more like a genie. The bungalow situated about 400 yards from the main house was immaculate, well equipped with its own kitchen. Bring your own beer there is a liquor shop on the corner as you turn off the main road and commence the climb. Well signed and we were driving our own Tuk Tuk. A place to sit,read, contemplate and practice your meditation and yoga. The only noise is from the chorus of birds overhead. If the shower is cold there is a switch on the wall to operate the heater, I found it after my first cold shower🥶The chef cooks to order often too much but he and Shiva are a delightful working duo. I would recommend 100%"

Ella Red Rock ★★★

📍 Kirimatiya Kitalella, Badulla

"The hotel is beautifully located and you have a breathtaking view from the room! The staff are extremely friendly and always look after the well-being of their guests. The food was also very delicious. The hotel cannot be reached by car due to the gravel road, but that is not a problem as you can leave the car in a parking lot and the shuttle is already waiting for you when you arrive. I had an upset stomach when we arrived, and when the staff found out, they immediately gave me a tea for the flu! Very attentive:) This hotel and Ella are my favorites of my Sri Lanka trip and I would love to return again."

Moi Ella by DBI ★★★★
"This hotel is basic. No duvet in the room, apparently you have to request one. Nice welcome tea and some local snacks while waiting to check in but beware there are still mosquitoes around despite the cooler temperature. I got bitten twice whilst waiting to check in. I was put on the ground floor with a view of the car park which was disappointing given the incredible views on offer of Ella from the rooms higher up. They have a swimming pool from what I can tell is a bit cold! The omelette at breakfast was good and they found me some green tea when I asked for it. The buffet at dinner was ok and included slices of pizza. Staff were friendly and helpful. All in all I imagine this hotel offers great views but it is way too far out from the centre of Ella so if you plan to go into town in the evening you’re looking at paying around 5,000 rupees for a taxi to take you, wait there for you and bring you back. So unless you’re there for a specific reason I’d stay closer to all the shops and bars in town."

Ella Ridge View ★★★
"Heaven on earth! Absolutely spoiled every morning with breakfast on their rooftop overlooking the famous Ella Rock. Possibly the best bedroom view I’ve ever seen. We travelled in April which is notoriously muggy and hot, but the electric fans are very powerful and kept us nice and cool in the evenings, they even have a sleep setting on them! Couldn’t have asked for much more. 5 min TukTuk to and from town (500sr or £1.50). Or a peaceful 10 minute walk. 11/10 would recommend"

Ella Red Rock ★★★
"Stayed overnight at this hotel after a rebooking. The road there is challenging, but the locals are happy to drive up by tuk-tuk or 4x4. Incredibly steep roads. 😅 Beautiful location with stunning views. Rooms are spacious and clean, with balconies. No air conditioning, but a fan. Air conditioning wasn't necessary, given the temperature. Within walking distance of Ella. A shortcut takes you down to the village. The return journey via the same path is steep and quite challenging. Of course, you can also opt for a tuk-tuk. There's plenty to do around Ella, and Ella Red Rock is a great base. Very friendly staff who will help you whenever needed."

Misty Elegance - Ella. ★★★
"The location is excellent. It's within walking distance of a street with restaurants. There's a supermarket and laundry shop nearby, which was very convenient. There's a slight incline, but it's paved and there's no soil erosion, so it's fine even on rainy days. However, some of the alleys are narrow, so you need to be careful when entering and exiting by car. The room was clean, and even though the outside temperature was low, the shower water pressure and temperature were perfect, making for a comfortable stay. The amenities—shampoo, body soap, and a large bath towel—were sufficient. I was very satisfied. They quickly arranged a tuk-tuk to Nine Arches, and the price didn't seem high. It's a good mid-range hotel."
