View was amazing right next to group of monkeys, 15 minute walk to Ella. Quieter than staying in town and delicious breakfast

Breakfast was amazing! Staff was friendly and gave us a lot of tipa and suggestions.

Great view from balcony, staff are very helpful We had a nice vegan breakfast as requested

One of my favorite homestays I have been. The view over the jungle is amazing. You can enjoy a large breakfast while watching the sun go up over Little Adams Peak and if you’re lucky, a family of monkeys may climb through the trees on the right side. The location is calm but in 5min you’re in the city center of Ella by tuktuk. The rooms are very clean with a hair dryer, hot shower and large fan provided. However, the hospitality of the host family is what truly made it fantastic. The lovely host and his dad were super helpful to us arranging every transport for us in and around Ella to whatever sight we wanted to visit. All in all, I would only recommend this place to everyone!

Could have stayed longer 😊

Super nice host, amazing view, delicious breakfast - nothing to complain about. Best place we stayed so far

Beautiful, small, family owned place in 15 min walking distance to Ella town. We had a great time in Ella at Different View. The family was really friendly and supportive and the breakfast prepared by the owners father was delicious. The view from the balcony for sunrise is just amazing. Could not get enough of it.

Everything was great

amazing views, owners were attentive and helpful!

the location and view the friendliness of our hosts use of Nalaka’s TukTuk

low water pressure for the shower insufficient hot water small fridge or kettle would have been nice

My friend and I stayed here for 2 nights during our stay in Ella and it was wonderful. The family that runs this property is so friendly and kind. They gave us a really reasonably priced custom tour in their tuk tuk around Ella. The included breakfast is incredible, and they even did something special for my birthday. I would highly recommend staying here!

Amazing food, great host, wonderful place highly recommended

It felt like we where part of the family. They took care of us for many ways. They help us to book a dentist and gave us some medicine. Accomadation has own tuktuk and they drove us to where ever we wanted to go. Breakfast very delicious and it was little diffrent every morning. We will always be thankfull for the lovely and good hearted family.

Perfect, quiet place to stay. View from the terrace is really nice. Had very good breakfast and several tea times along 2 night stay. Host and his family is very welcoming. There was celebrations in hosts family so we and others who were staying at the guesthouse had very delicious dinner from the host. Thank you very much! Also used tuc-tuc services for tour around Ellas must see places to save time provided by hosts father. Absolutely recommend, obviously better service than from someone picked up in the city.

The view is fantastic from the terrace, it is located 15 minutes from Ella downtown where the restaurants are.

The only thing that needs improvement is the wifi connection.

This is a quiet place with a beautiful view you can start and finish the day with. Nalaka is a kind and helpful host and his family serves a great tasting and variable breakfast every day. You just walk 15 minutes to Ella center. We really recommend this place.

everything fine

Great place to stay for a couple of days! Clean and comfortable, exceptional view, unforgettable breakfast among wild monkeys!

Staff

The views from this location are spectacular! The breakfast every morning was a different variety and home cooked by Nalakas mother. We experienced a really lovely family feeling while staying at Different View, they are so happy to help with anything you may need and do it with a smile. We stayed 4 days and enjoyed some time to relax from our other travels, the rooms are comfortable and the beds are large, the pillows are a little too big and at times uncomfortable and I would recommend using Pick Me driver to your next destination if you are travelling onwards from Ella as the taxi we had was very expensive and a very slow journey. We really enjoyed our time here and would stay again in a heart beat. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality!

Fantastic view (including monkeys and chipmunks) in front of the room and also for breakfast. Exceptional friendly hosts who also serve you tea at every occasion and are also pleased to arrange tuktuk rides for you. It's a pleasure to stay at this location.

All was great. If I come again, I will stay here for: location, big clean room, comfortable bed, hot water, wonderful breakfast

High pillows 😂 but I guess it's solvable

Its a really nice experience in a jungle. Great and super friendly hosting family. Great breakfast. Good wifi (if there is no electricity cuts). Totally recommend!

This is not that i didnt like it but the place is up a mountain thus it is not easy to reach. However the family helped us to get us in place (there was a storm all the evening thus it was a bit difficult to reach the place). Great experience, super friendly hosting family.

amazing view, delicious breakfast, great and nice owners -> I heartily recommend ❤️

the view is great. you can enjoy breakfast at your terrace and enjoy that. In the surrounding are quite a few monkeys which you can watch. The owner takes care that they don’t steel your breakfast. the location is good. you are in town after a ten minute walk. the owner is very friendly and gives advises when needed.

the rooms itself are very basic and the mosquito net was dirty.

Amazing view, excellent host , good breakfast, quiet!!

Clean hotel not far from the center of Ella at a good price. Friendly staff, beautiful views from the terrace, delicious breakfast. You can watch monkeys at breakfast.

The stay could not be paid in dollars, although the reservation stated that it was possible. There was no problem with that in other accommodations in Sri Lanka.

Nice host

Nothing

Clean hotel with a great view. The hosts are really the nicest people we met in Sri Lanka. Very tasty breakfast. They also let us check in earlier. Comfortable bed. Location is about 15 min walk from the center, but hosts can arrange a tuk tuk drive. Recommend saving the number of the driver - he's also nice and charges good price.

There was no fridge in the room. Also, parking and driving there is a challenge, but the host is building a parking spot, so that should be improved.
