May 17, 2023 Alice Mieles

Laid-back Ella draws travelers to Sri Lanka's highlands with its mountain forests, tea plantations, and relatively cool climate. The wildlife-rich region is also home to caves, cascades, and secluded temples—plus the Ella Gap, which offers lofty views between a cleft in two hills.

Disappointing - Service does not match the view

Reviewed By mpo253

We booked this hotel as attracted by the view, and to be honest this did not disappoint. The view was stunning. Unfortunately the service stank from arrival onwards. (Even our Sri Lankan driver was astonished at the hotels attitude.) We asked for a packed breakfast, as had an early start the next day. Was told 'NO', apparently as the bar was open until late nobody would want to get up to do this for us. Eventually they agreed to give us a packed breakfast (banana, biscuits & juice drink) at dinner that evening. Not quite the packed breakfast we had received elsewhere, They asked if we would like dinner and offered us a choice of noodles or chicken curry. Having chosen chicken curry we were surprised to be served a selection of curries for dinner but no chicken curry in sight. The hotel did not seem impressed when we chose to go to into Ella for dinner on the other 2 nights. There were more staff than we had suitcases, they came across as very intimidating. Whilst we appreciate assistance with our luggage this was ridiculous and made us feel quite uncomfortable. This was the only hotel we chose not to tip in. With it's stunning location this could be a fantastic little place, but they seriously need to address their customer service. The hotel also needs some TLC, as several signs of wear and tear.

Ella Planters Bungalow

A unique location where you can relax, in true hill-country style bungalow and Eco friendly colonial style boutique hotel. The climate is rated as one of the best in Sri Lanka - cool evenings and warm days offer a respite from the heat of the coastal resorts and is enjoyed by many Sri Lankans as well as foreign visitors. We are high up here at 1000 meters surrounded by the vast panoramas of the Ella Gap. Karandagolla is slightly lower down than the cooler tea gardens of Badulla giving us a more tropical air and richer variety of exotic plants and fauna. There is much wild country to explore on foot. "Cooking course in our own kitchen" Many and varied excursions can be arranged. The more active may engage with nature by climbing Little Adams Peak or visiting our local organic tea plantation. Alternatively you can just chill out and enjoy the fine food and comfort of the 'Bungalow', sip chilled drinks on the verandah of an evening, stroll in the grounds or slump in a hammock!

Tranquil paradise in Ella

Reviewed By balamuruhan

Beautiful rooms, lovely view and great hospitality. They looked after us exceptionally well. The food was delicious and the chef made modifications to suit our taste. portions were generous. The prices of food, beverages and laundry were very reasonable! This place is away from the touristy Ella just the way we wanted it. it was also cool to see the troop of monkeys that regularly visit. Getting to Ella town is easy- they even have their own rickshaw! Would strongly recommend it!

Absolutely amazing hotel

Reviewed By chillswi

This hotel is amazing. The views are breathtaking. The rooms are large and comfortable. Great air conditioning. Great proximity to the town of Ella and places to see. But what’s best is the customer service. The staff is incredible. I have a great example: I accidentally left something in the room that was very important to me. But I didn’t realize I lost it until I left. (I live in America). I contacted the hotel and they found my lost item. And they offered to ship it to me. Luckily my driver in Sri Lanka was about to drive through Ella so I was able to coordinate with this hotel to have my driver pick it up and then he got it to be back in America. This was absolutely amazing. This hotel went above and beyond. I highly recommend this hotel.

The best hotel i have ever stayed!

Reviewed By 267niinak

if you come to Ella, you MUST stay in this hotel! Amazing views, pool, food, room, staff, everyting! You can order breakfast from the special breakfast menu and everything we tried was very tasty. We enjoyed other meals aswell and always had great service with great food. You must meet especially Mr. Ajith who is the heart of this hotel. He had the best stories, trip advices, recommendations and we became good friends with him in four days! He really makes everything for you to have a perfect stay in there and it wouldn’t be the same without him. With love: Niina and Minna from Finland ?

Most beautiful place

Reviewed By V6944SWalexanderp

We ended up extending our stay in Ella 4 times, because we loved this homestay so much. Cleanest and most beautiful room I've ever booked in Asia, and still it's affordable. The family was such a lovely bunch, who invited us to a family party, to experience their traditions, wonderful experience! Ruwan the owner is a former chef, so the included breakfast was outrageously good and different every morning. I will definitely come back to this place

Amazing view to wake up to in the morning. Wake up early around 5:30am to see the purple hue of the sky. The hotel is very reasonably priced and is about 5mins outside of Ella via car. It’s very easy to get a tuk-tuk late at night from Ella to the hotel. As the hotel is surrounded by deep vegetation a lot of flies can fly in through doors left open. However the beds are covered with mosquito nets.
