amazing hostel in the middle of the hills, about a 20min bus journey into Ella town. Very peaceful and staff are kind and will sort out anything you need. ONly thing to make it better would be a individual light in the beds

the hostel looks amazing, the owners are really helpfull too. feels a bit like a homestay. its super clean and the views amazing. only downside is that its 30 min outside of ella. the bus is super cheap but at night youd have to take a tuktuk for about 2500 roepies.

Such a lovely place to stay, the owners were so kind and generous as well as everyone else who worked there. It is a little bit outside of Ella but it is easy to get a bus pretty much from outside the hostel and it’s worth it for the facilities are really nice. The natural pool is stunning, as are the views of the mountains! The sweetest doggies as well. Overall we really enjoyed our stay ☺️

Do yourself a favor and stay in this hostel! Such a lovely backpacker vibe, beautiful views, right in the nature, very clean, and absolutely amazing owners! Yes it’s bit outside of the city but there’s a bus stop right in front of the restaurant and buses go very frequently. It’s worth it!!

We loved our time here, yes it’s out of the city but buses do come regularly and they can arrange taxis. The bathrooms were the cleanest bathrooms I’ve seen in Asia!!!! Staff SO LOVELY and friendly, it’s a new hostel with big ideas to expand, we have such a warm stay- it is chilled, gorgeous views! Beds were comfy, and would love to come back when they expand!! Wishing you all the best with the future!!!

Beautiful Hostel, in real nature with a nature Pool, you can watch the sunrise with a beautiful scenery. Unfortunately 25 min from Ella, but you can rent a scooter there or drive with the bus :) Loved the atmosphere!

Super liebes Personal, sehr leckeres Frühstück und optional Mittag- und Abendessen. Wirklich toll ist aber der Garten, der Naturpool und der Sonnenaufgang. Die Toiletten und Duschen sind neu, genauso wie der Schlafraum. Ich habe mir sehr sehr wohl gefühlt und konnte toll entspannen. Danke für alles :)

Het leukste en mooiste verblijf waar wij tot nu toe in Sri Lanka zijn verbleven. Alles is super schoon en de tuin is prachtig! Ook het eten is heel erg lekker en de eigenaren zijn super aardig :)

Such a wonderful hostel to stay in! I cannot recommend it enough. The place and garden are amazing. It’s outside the city, but definitely worth it, and you can easily get to Ella by bus or tuk-tuk. You can also walk to some nearby waterfalls, and the sunrise and views from the garden are absolutely stunning. The couple who runs the hostel, as well as the staff, are incredibly kind and helpful. They assisted us with extending our stay and catching the right bus to Kandy. Thank you so much

couldnt recommend this place enough, so peaceful with it being a little outside of Ella (but still accessible by bus and tuktuk easily) and the couple who run it are so lovely, special thanks for them helping me get the right bus to Kandy (with someone even staying by the bus stop flag it down and making sure we got on OK! the dorm was really clean and spacious also! thank you so the great stay

Lovely hostel, run by a nice couple who are very accommodating. Rustic and pretty location with gorgeous views and a natural pool. Tasty breakfast included. The only problem is that the only 2 sinks for the dorm were in the 2 shower rooms, challenging to wash hands and clean teeth. Could do with some mirrors in the dorm room and an extra sink.

Das Hostel war definitiv mein liebstes meiner Reise! Es ist etwas beschwerlich (günstig) hinzukommen, ist man aber erst mal dort möchte man nie mehr gehen!! Die Ruhe, der Ausblick, der Pool, die Herzlichkeit der Hosts und nicht zu vergessen die vielen Hunde (Welpen). Ich vermisse den Ort jetzt schon 🤍

By far the best hostel I stayed at. If you like nature and piece and quiet this is your hostel. Its a little outside ella, but there is a bus directly in front of the hostel that takes you to Ella for very cheap or perfect if you have your own transportation. Would highly recommend and will come back once I visit Sri-Lanka again.

Personnel agréable, un des logements les plus propres que j’ai eu au Sri Lanka et le cadre est magique, loin de l’agitation de la ville. Les chiens sont vraiment friendly
