Ravana Range Ella ★★★
"The place is clean and you can see the sunrise. It’s beautiful place with the beautiful people working . They are kind and polite very helpful as always."
Viewfront Ella ★★★
"Stay away from this hotel! The hotel rooms isn’t what’s pictured on booking sites, the entrance is through a forest on a mountain and through other buildings. The walls is stained, door is leaking, and the room are nasty. The entrance pathway crumbled under me so a nail went through my foot and got several scratches. It is NOT a hotel, not even a bungalow. I would rather sleep with the homeless dogs than stay there one night. We checked out 30 minutes after we checked in. At least the manager was nice enough to give a full refund and drive us to another hotel."
Misty Hills Ella Resort ★★★
"This is our second time after 4 years. completely different hotel. very beautiful swimming pool at the edge. also there is a elevator to avoid steps. very friendly staff. it was a fabulous stay again with beautiful view delicious breakfast and we had a rice and chicken curry for the dinner"
Claython Hills Ella ★★★
"A newly opened, truly comfortable and spotlessly clean accommodation in the Ella area. The breakfast is delicious, and the hotel owners have thought of everything for your comfort. I was very pleased and will definitely stay here again if I'm ever in the area."
Nine Arch Jungle Inn ★★★
"Stayed here for 2 nights. The view of Nine Arch Bridge from here is Fantastic. Deshan who assisted me during my stay was very accommodating and charming."
Bliss In Viya ★★
"Our stay here was perfect. The host is incredibly helpful and hospitable. The daily included breakfast was great, very filling and good options to choose from. The views from the property are stunning. You don’t even have to get out of bed to see a breathtaking sunrise through the bedroom window. The town centre is a short tuk tuk or 30 minute walk away. The hotel owner has his own tuk tuk and is happy to take you into/collect you from the town or other local attractions at very reasonable prices. The room itself was very clean with a comfy bed and a hot shower. Would stay here again in a heartbeat."
O2 Villas Ella ★★★★★
"I honestly don’t know where to start with this place. How O2 Villas Ella can be advertised as a 5 star resort is beyond me. This has been a 2 to 3 star experience at absolute best and after one problem after another we’ve just had enough. From the minute we arrived there have been issues. The toilet in our daughters’ room wasn’t working. They’ve also had problems with their shower. Our original room was downstairs with another room directly above us and the noise was ridiculous. The rooms seem to be made from what basically looks like cheap decking boards and there is ZERO soundproofing. I’m not exaggerating when I say you can hear absolutely everything. If someone walks past your room having a conversation, it sounds like they’re standing next to your bed. You hear every footstep, every conversation, every door, people walking around above you, people in the rooms next to you. There is basically no privacy at all. Trying to relax in the room is impossible because you are constantly listening to everyone else around you. Then, as if the noise wasn’t enough, we discovered OUR ROOM WAS LEAKING. Water was literally coming into the room and running into the carpet. So we complained and were moved upstairs. At least we no longer had someone directly above our heads, but we can STILL hear everything through the walls. Then we started repeatedly running out of hot water. Then today we went out for the entire day, came back to the hotel and discovered nobody had even bothered to service our room. Bed exactly as we left it, rubbish still in the room, dirty towels still there, nothing replenished. Nothing had been done at all. And then there’s the “pool”. The photos make the pool area look considerably better than the reality. It’s basically a small plunge pool. There are TWO sunbeds. TWO! For the entire place. We specifically chose a hotel with a pool because we wanted the option of spending a day relaxing around it. You simply cannot do that here. So after the broken toilet, shower problems, leaking room, having to move rooms, ridiculous noise, basically no soundproofing or privacy, repeatedly running out of hot water, no housekeeping and the disappointing pool area, we decided we’d had enough and asked if we could leave ONE NIGHT EARLY. We weren’t asking for our whole stay back. We weren’t even asking for compensation for all the problems we’d already put up with. We literally just asked them to refund ONE unused night so we could leave early. Absolutely not. They wouldn’t budge an inch. All we kept getting was “cancellation policy”. Apparently we need to give around four weeks’ notice to cancel. WE BOOKED THE HOTEL LESS THAN A WEEK AGO! How exactly were we supposed to give four weeks’ notice that the toilet wouldn’t work, our room would leak, there would be virtually no soundproofing, we’d keep running out of hot water and our room wouldn’t be serviced?! There is a huge difference between cancelling because you’ve changed your mind an"
Ella Retreat ★★★
"Ella Retreat is set in a stunning location surrounded by nature—but be warned, it’s quite remote and not easily accessible. While the natural beauty is undeniable, it was a bit too much nature for my liking. The biggest issue was with my booking. I had reserved a large villa, but was given a lower category room instead. The staff confirmed my original booking, but the owner, Mr. Danushka—managing things remotely from Dubai—was unhelpful, dismissive, and frankly, rude. He showed zero accountability, left us to sort out the double-booking on our own, and refused to address the error. Thankfully, the on-site staff were very polite and did their best to make up for the mishap, despite being clearly limited by the owner’s poor management. This place could be a great getaway if you get the room you booked and don’t have to deal with Mr. Danushka. Service and staff: 7/10 Management: Poor Proceed with caution."
The Scenario Ella ★★★
"Very nice place , very nice people who is working in that place Delusions food Everything good"

Hotel Onrock
"It’s a little high up on a hill, but the view from my balcony was gorgeous. It’s also right off the main street, so if you don’t mind the trek up and down you’re still relatively well-situated to be near the backpackers’ bars and restaurants and shops. Breakfast had a lot of local Sri Lankan options which I greatly appreciated, and staff was also happy to explain each dish to newcomers. A small piece of advice for the team though: perhaps hire a few female staffers? As a woman traveling alone, one of the first things I noticed was the all-male staff—or at least, I didn’t see a single woman working there in my 2-night stay. I don’t have a problem with it, but newer solo female travelers might unintentionally be scared off"
Oak Ray Ella Gap Hotel
"Fantastic Location and Large Rooms, but Basic AmenitiesThe location of this hotel is absolutely excellent and highly convenient for families. We stayed in a family room that was impressively huge, giving us plenty of space to move around comfortably.However, the overall experience felt quite standard rather than premium or rich. The breakfast offered was very basic with limited choices. Cleanliness, service, and general amenities were all just average. It is a decent, practical place to stay for the location and room size, but don't expect a luxury experience."
Dewpoint Ella
Moi Ella by DBI
"What a lovely place! Great team of people and Laheer makes it extra special. We were welcomed with traditional drink and snack. The room was lovely and they made us feel extra special by decorating it for our honeymoon ❤️ you have to book a meal and serving time, but thats ok. The food was great. They let us meet the dogs they ‘look after’. Breaks my heart the tragic situation with stray dogs in sri lanka. So at least these few beautiful dogs are safe. They need to be neutered! And have vet visits. 🙏🏻 but they are safe. Our Guide didnt stay with us this time. His accommodation was a metal storage box!"
Mum Jungle Inn
"Wonderful accommodation in a peaceful environment next to the train station. The room was clean and comfortable. What's more, the staff was very kind and helpful. I would go back there with no hesitation."
Ella Flower Garden Resort
"Very helpful staff, ( to find dairy and gluten free food at the buffet) Beautiful gardens Great views"
Uga Ghiri - Ella - All Inclusive
"We arrived to celebrate my Dad’s Birthday on 26/07/26. The Birthday welcome was excellent. Our two days at UGA GHIRI felt like gentle escape into a peaceful dream. It was a perfect staycation for a relaxed getaway. It’s a very well maintained cozy Hotel surrounded by the hills beauty and excellent breathing of Ella. Every moment was filled with a friendly smile, calm, warmth and joy. It wasn’t just a stay - it is a feeling we will carry in our hearts for a very long time. Leaving this place was truly the hardest part. We are especially grateful to the whole staff, their team effort, their wonderful care with the welcoming friendly smiles, delicious healthy meals made our stay even more special. We greatly appreciate and are thankful to the Joint Venture Management of Uga Ghiri for introducing this all inclusive experience to this eco friendly tourist area. All the very best to Uga Ghiri. May God Bless your Esteemed Establishment. Prashanth together with my parents, Shiranthie & Tilak Sylva (Captain, SriLankan Airlines)"
Heritaz Villa Ella
"Great location. Good and filling breakfast. The only downside was that it rained, so the air conditioning wasn't enough to keep us warm, and it was damp and chilly. Otherwise, the room was spacious and decent. There was a fridge, hot water, and a good shower."
Dowa Elegance Resort
"We stayed here for three nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Excellent friendly service from Kalana, he was always on hand via WhatsApp. The room was clean and spacious. The views are stunning and well worth being slightly further away from the town (15-20 minute drive). They give you the option of having breakfast in your room too which was nice. The food isn't out of this world, all a bit standard but there's plenty of restaurants in Ella so it wasn't an issue."
BBQ HUB Ella
"Myself and My daughter enjoyed their hospitality and lovely Sri lankan vegetarian food made available to us as per our request. The multi tasking female supervisor and her team were very plesasn, friendly and helpful during our short stay. The room was clean , comfortable and had a large window to view the nature ! Overall a pleasant short stay and value for money."
EKHO Ella
"Hospitality was amazing - balancing the right amount of attentiveness without being over the top Food was excellent both for dinner and breakfast, full selection of Sri Lankan, continental breakfast and fresh fruit - great views from the restaurant The hotel is located within a minute of the town The views of Little Adam’s peak and Ella Rock are spectacular and the garden is immaculate blending in with the surroundings We would strongly recommend staying here"
Bridge Front Inn Ella
"Bridge Front Inn Ella is located on the hillside right next to the Nine Arch Bridge, just a one-minute walk away, making it very convenient to watch the trains. Little Adam's Peak is about a 50-minute walk. The hotel is very new, the breakfast is plentiful, and the staff are happy to help."
Ellas Edge Resort
"Very nice room with an incredible view of the valley when it's not raining. It's worth getting up early in the morning for the sunrise. Well located for visiting the tea plantations. The bathroom was pretty but could do with some updating."
The Feel Luxury Boutique Hotel Ella
"Really enjoyed our stay. The hotel was amazing and clean with facilities like hot water and A/C. The stuff was very friendly and helpful. Overall the hotel was amazing."
Ella T & D Resort
"It was a very cozy stay, we loved the kindness and hospitality of the owner’s family! It’s a bit far from city centre and cars can’t drop you off there exactly but we were ok with that and it’s very convenient to get to Ella Rock and Kitha Ella station. Breakfast was delicious and the views were incredible too! The room is also very spacious!"
Greenland Villa Ella
"We had a wonderful stay at Greenland Villa. It is perfectly located right next to the Kithal Ella train station, from which you can directly board the famous train that goes through the nine arch bridge. The property was beautiful, very well equipped with everything we needed including a great kitchen. It was clean, well ventilated, and more importantly it felt like home. The owner took time to decorate it with great taste. On top of that he was such a humble and polite person.Upon arrival he gave us a ride to get our groceries; another day he brought us his homegrown vegetables, which was such a nice gesture. Having said that, there were a couple of issues that needed to be addressed. The WiFi connection was not great, probably because of the location, but we struggled with it. And the breakfast was very carb-heavy, which may work for you but wasn't particularly to our liking. Nonetheless, We would book it again if I ever come back to Ella. We can only recommend Greenland villa highly."
