Tea Ridge Ella by Sans

Tea Garden Holiday Inn

"I hate to say this, as I know how important the business is to these small run villas, but unless you're absolutely desperate, don't stay here. Yes it was very cheap and the views are very nice from certain vantages, but the place is dirty and falling apart. No hot water so didn't shower during my stay. Bathroom falling apart. Window screen broken so any creatures can come through at night. Beds and bedding dirty. Towels beyond usable. Mosquito nets beyond use. Safety also a concern. Bathroom window not secure and front door - single small latch. You're given a luggage padlock to secure you're room when you leave. As mentioned, views are nice and good location to the city centre, but I would not stay here if given the choice. Id rather pay more and they upgraded this inn."

Te Dalu Resort & Spa - A Luxury Sanctuary in Ella

"We truly regret that we stayed at TE DALU Resort & Spa Ella for only one night at the very end of our trip. Honestly, we wish we had spent much more time there because this hotel was absolutely wonderful. First of all, the hotel is very new, modern, and beautifully designed. The location is excellent, surrounded by breathtaking mountain views and peaceful nature. The infinity pool overlooking the mountains was simply stunning. When we entered our room, we were speechless — the view literally took our breath away. The room was very spacious, bright, stylish, and thoughtfully designed with every comfort in mind. One of our favorite parts was the shower area with the window and an incredible mountain view. It created such a relaxing and unforgettable atmosphere. Another detail that impressed us a lot: this was the only hotel during our entire one-week Sri Lanka tour that served real loose-leaf tea instead of tea bags. As tea lovers, we appreciated this so much. The hotel truly lives up to its name “TE DALU,” which, as we understood, means “tea leaf” — and if we are correct, that makes it even more special. The staff welcomed us very warmly with traditional Sri Lankan hospitality. Mr. Shaluka at the reception was especially kind, professional, and helpful during our stay. We would also like to sincerely thank Mr. Ranga, who assisted us during the booking process before our trip. He was extremely helpful, polite, and arranged a fantastic room for us. Thank you very much, Mr. Ranga, for your excellent assistance and hospitality. There are only two small points we would like to mention honestly. One night after returning late from the city, we could not reach any staff members through the WA chat or by calling reception (0), even though we needed assistance with something for the room. Noone responded finally. We kindly suggest improving the night service availability, because guests may need help at any hour and hotel service should ideally be available 24/7. The second small detail is that cars cannot drive directly to the reception because the road becomes narrow near the hotel. However, this should absolutely not stop anyone from booking the hotel, because it is only around 30 meters away. The hotel’s tuk-tuk service conveniently transports guests and luggage from the parking point directly to the reception and back, which was actually a charming experience. Overall, this hotel gave us one of the best impressions during our Sri Lanka trip. It combines beautiful design, amazing views, comfort, excellent hospitality, and very reasonable prices. We highly recommend TE DALU Resort & Spa Ella to everyone visiting Ella. Thank you very much for such a memorable stay. We will definitely choose your hotel again next visit"

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)"

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."

Hidden Pine Ella

"This was my first time in this city and my stay here was amazing. It was incredibly peaceful and quiet, offering a full immersion in nature that you can't find in big cities. The atmosphere and accommodation were very private. The owners provided excellent service, making me feel like family. The rooms were large and spacious, not at all intimidating. On my arrival, I requested to try on traditional Sri Lankan clothing, and the accommodation provided it for me. I was extremely impressed."

Tunnel Top Inn Ella

"Fantastyczny hotel i fantastyczny host. Niesamowity widok, absolutnie cudowny, szczególnie rano. Wszystko było doskonałe. To miejsce, gdzie powinienem być Ella!"

Ella Nature Life Guest and Restaurant

"Located 10 minutes drive from town. Good if you like nature and tranquility. Possible to hike from here to Ella rock. Good and generous breakfast. With to book the room with balcony."

Amado Homestay (Family room)

"Przywykliśmy tu z naszym synem. Rodzina wynajmu była bardzo przyjazna, że pokoje były dobrze wyposażone, nasza łazienka miała gorący prysznic i był bardzo czysty. Dom ma dwa pokoje gościnne. Jest to pieszo około 15-20 minut od Elli. Widok na tarasie był bardzo miły, widzieliśmy z niego małpy, rogów paskowych. Nashorn ptaki odwiedziły nas na śniadanie. Wynajem pomógł nam z organizacją dalszej podróży. Nawet później był nam pożyteczny i zorganizował dla nas transfer samochodowy z Tangalle do Colombo Lotnisko w tanim cenie. Bardzo chwalić Go i dziękuję jeszcze raz! Bardzo chcielibyśmy pozostać w Amado ponownie!"

Dowa Elegance Resort

"Piękny widok z balkonu, ale może być wiele owadów, ponieważ pomieszczenia są naprawdę mieszane w naturę."

Ella Alpine Resort

"We arrived tired and out of sorts, but we were greeted so warmly that our spirits immediately improved. The hosts gave us tea, chatted in a homely way - you feel like a welcome guest, not a client. The hotel is on top of a mountain, and each room has an exit to a terrace with a stunning view. You wake up in the morning - and in front of you there are only mountains and silence. The room is clean, cozy, everything is thought out to the smallest detail. Breakfast was prepared especially for our preferences: fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, toast, even smoothies! The staff is not formally polite, but truly kind. If you want to not just spend the night, but feel cared for and relax your soul - this is definitely your place. I want to come back again and recommend it to everyone. Many thanks to the hosts for such an atmosphere!"
