A very personal and relaxing stay in Ella. This is a simple and relaxing accommodation, so keep that in mind when booking, but it has a truly unique location. Tucked away behind the mountain, away from the busy main street, it offers beautiful views of the surrounding tea plantations. It takes a little longer to reach Ella by road, but there is a shortcut through the tea plantations, which is also a lovely walk. The relaxed outdoor area with couches is a great place to meet other travelers. The host was very kind, offers tours and even drove me to the train station to make sure I could continue my journey smoothly. His two lovely animals made the stay even more special. Everything was clean and the Wi-Fi was excellent. A peaceful oasis away from busy Ella!

Everything was fine!

Ho soggiornato 3 notti all’Home Hostel e mi sono trovata benissimo. Una struttura meravigliosa, immersa nel verde, circondata da alberi e piantagioni di tè. È il posto ideale per chi cerca tranquillità, lontano dal caos della città, ma allo stesso tempo comodo da raggiungere grazie a una scorciatoia dietro l’ostello si arriva in centro in 10-15 minuti. Thiti è un host davvero premuroso, disponibile e gentile, capace di farti sentire subito a casa. La struttura è pulita e offre tutto il necessario: acqua calda, asciugacapelli, acqua potabile con depuratore e anche la possibilità di utilizzare la cucina. Colazione molto buona! Un soggiorno davvero piacevole, in un ambiente rilassante.

I originally booked this hostel for just 2 nights, but I ended up staying for 10 nights—and that says everything about how amazing this place is. Nestled among beautiful mountains and surrounded by lush greenery, the hostel has a peaceful, authentic vibe that makes it feel like a true home in nature. Waking up to the fresh air and breathtaking views every morning was amazing. What made my stay even more special were the two lovely pets, Charley and Lessy. They are the heart of the hostel and instantly make you feel welcome. Their unconditional affection and playful nature genuinely make you feel connected and remind you of the simple joy of being human. The host is warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere is relaxed, friendly, and full of positive energy. If you’re visiting Ella and looking for more than just a place to sleep—somewhere you can truly unwind and feel the nature—this is the place.

Great stay! Very peaceful and relaxing accommodation with beautiful surroundings! Host is very friendly, responsive and helpful. Breakfast is the best I’ve had so far in Sri Lanka with omelette, roti and a smoothie. Also, very cuddly pets! Path is dark at night but still felt very safe (coming from a female), but you need a torch.
