"Flower Garden Resort Ella was an excellent choice with stunning views and a very comfortable stay. The staff truly stood out , customer service was top notch throughout. Manujaya at the front office was professional and highly supportive, assisting us throughout our stay. Lalith and Sampath at the restaurant were also exceptional, offering great food recommendations and always being pleasant and helpful. Overall, all the staff were kind, attentive, and made the experience memorable."

"Originally a home and it felt like home. The grounds are gorgeous , with beautiful views, so many birds and colorful flowers, and we were lovingly cared for by the sweet staff. Chef Kumar’s food was delicious! Meena was so warm and lovely and treated us like family."

"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"

"Fantastic place, with a very friendly staff and the cozy atmosphere of an old colonial house."

"Location: The hotel is about 15 minutes' drive from Haputale and 5 minutes away from the Diyatalawa train station. Check-in: We were served cinnamon tea with palm sugar upon check-in. While our room was being cleaned, we waited in the hotel lobby where the friendly chef shared the hotel's history with us. Room: Our room featured a plush king bed, high ceilings, and sliding doors that open completely for an indoor-outdoor experience. The plunge pool is located next to the deck, overlooking the property's main pool and garden. The pool includes a jacuzzi. The room comes with a well-stocked coffee bar, and the spacious cupboard includes slippers and robes. The deck features two bean bags for lounging. The furniture and decor are modern and tasteful, offering a sense of quiet luxury. However, the room lacks privacy as it is next to the parking lot. The Wi-Fi in the room is fast and reliable. Food: We had dinner served in our room. The food was mild, and the dishes needed more seasoning. Service: The hotel manager, housekeeper, gardener, and chef are extremely friendly."

"We had a wonderful 3 nights’ stay at Mapakada Village. We saw so much wildlife during our stay: flying foxes, monitor lizards, pelicans, kingfishers, monkeys and elephants. We would highly recommend this hotel for anyone who loves nature. The staff were so kind and friendly and the rooms were perfect."

"There is a lot to say about this boutique hotel. It is a good hotel but not great. Not yet! It has potential and can become a very good hotel. I stayed here for 5 days, unfortunately right during the period when a cyclone hit Sri Lanka. We had no electricity for half a day in 2 consecutive days. Due to the weather conditions the outside temperature was somewhere around 18 degrees Celsius. Because of this it was cold in the room too. I don't think it was more than 20 degrees in the room, maybe even less. The hotel does not have a heating system, the air conditioning does not work in heating mode either. Even so, taking into account that we had no electricity for 2 days and that the hotel does not have a generator, no appliance would have worked anyway. Breakfast is served in the lobby which is also an open space that communicates with the outside. It was cold here too and we had to stay with our jackets on. Luckily we had some winter clothes with us. I will detail the experience here by categories: Staff: very nice, attentive and friendly. They provided us with everything we needed. During the power outage they gave us blankets, battery-powered lamps, candles... Luckily we had a tablet on which we had some movies and documentaries downloaded from a streaming platform. There were times when it was raining so hard that we had to stay in the room. In the last 24 hours of our stay we had no signal on our phone. So, long live the tablet and the offline movies :) Food: good but not extraordinary. They asked me if I wanted eggs sunny side up and then they brought me for over hard once :). The traditional food is good but it is exclusively vegetarian, with rice, potatoes, noodles and lentils. The flatbreads were undercooked and were not good. One day I found a long hair in the food. I'm not a squeamish person by nature and I kept eating, but after 2 minutes I found another one :) Room: spacious and quite nicely decorated. We didn't have the best room (I'll go into more detail below). In this type of room there is a window in the bathroom, and above the window there was a piece of ventilation grille that constantly communicates with the outside. There was a space between the door and the door frame where you could put a finger. Imagine how cold air enters the bathroom and how you could hear the rain and the sound of the jungle from outside even with the bathroom door closed. Maybe in hot conditions it would be ok but like this... I was cold every time I got out of the shower. The cleanliness was impeccable. The big bed and the mattress were very good. I slept very well. There is no TV in the room so take a book with you. The hotel: it is positioned somehow on a slope. I took a picture with the hotel from the opposite hill. From the main road you go down a few steps, you enter the lobby which would normally be the ground floor. However, our room was in the basement. Basically, I went down one floor to the basement, but on the other side of the bu"
