I really enjoyed my stay at YOLO. The room was spacious, clean and felt very new, with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The large private balcony was definitely a highlight, with a beautiful view and a peaceful atmosphere — a lovely place to sit and relax. I also really appreciated the homemade meals, which made the stay feel warm and personal. After a long day exploring Ella, it was lovely to be able to come back, enjoy a home-cooked meal and simply relax without having to go out again. Overall, YOLO offers excellent value for money, especially considering the spacious room, large balcony and beautiful view. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable stay in Ella.

Nothing in particular. I had a very comfortable and pleasant stay.

Super cottage in a beautiful country setting a few kms outside Ella. Felt very special looking out on the valley with no near neighbours. Good room, bed and an enormous breakfast every day. Hosts were charming and always willing to provide tuk tuk transport at any time. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

Water pressure a little wewk but otherwise everything was excellent.

Our experience at Yolo was absolutely amazing. The room we stayed in was newly built with great attention to detail, and it had everything we needed. It was very comfortable and spacious, and the view was incredible. You wake up to a beautiful sunrise every morning. The food was also delicious and really added to the overall experience. The host, Vimukthi, and his family were always welcoming, smiling, and incredibly helpful. They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. They also offer their own family transportation service, which made our trip even more special. Vimukthi personally took us to some of the most beautiful spots in Ella and later drove us to Yala National Park at a very reasonable and convenient price. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable experience!

We absolutely loved our stay here. The food is not to be missed - probably the best we had during our 3 week trip in Sri Lanka. The views from the balcony are top notch; especially sunrise whilst listening to all of the birds. What sets the cottage apart is the amazing hospitality from the entire family - so generous, warm and kind. We truly loved our stay here and were so sad to move on.
