With mountain views, Crystal Resort is located in Badulla and has a restaurant and full-day security. With garden views, this accommodation offers a balcony.

Lovely new hotel, you can tell the owner and his family are very passionate about their business, they were very helpful and very kind. We needed transportation to and from Dunhinda waterfall which the Uncle very kindly provided with his tuktuk. The view of the mountains was amazing and the sunrise was beautiful. The breakfast food was delicious and freshly made with appam and tea/coffee. The bakery downstairs smells amazing in the morning. Location is also very good, it is easy to find and right on the main road.

Offering a garden and mountain view, 1818 Badulla is located in Badulla, 22 km from Demodara Nine Arch Bridge and 48 km from Hakgala Botanical Garden.

First of all, we chose this propeety based on reviews. Most reviews mention how helpful the host was. Our host didn't speak any English, the wifi didn't work, the toilet didn't flush and it leaked water all over the bathroom. We wanted to go hiking in the morning but couldn't get the owner to store our stuff. The accommodation was clean, the owner was nice but ultimately it was useless.

Set just 24 km from Demodara Nine Arch Bridge, Springvalley Holiday Home features accommodation in Badulla with access to a garden, a terrace, as well as room service.

The place is run by a young guy who really knows how to make customers happy. He was super helpful and went out of his way to take care of our large group of ten. It’s also really close to our family home in Badulla, and offers great value for the price. Very clean rooms, good food etc

Situated within 17 km of Demodara Railway Station and 24 km of Ella Railway Station in Badulla, High Tree Nest features accommodation with seating area.

It was fairly close to the railway station and I had an early train so that was useful. If you don't mind the things mentioned below, then this accommodation is fine. The bedding was clean. Great big bed and single bed. There was a clean towel as well as soap and a toothbrush and toilet roll, which I thought was a lovely touch. The accomodation is on a main road so there are some small supermarkets around but you do not hear the traffic and you have access to buses on your doorstep. It is only a 10 minute walk to the main bust stand.

Featuring mountain views, Green Village offers accommodation with patio, around 5.8 km from Demodara Nine Arch Bridge. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi.

The location of Green Village is in a very nice place. The terrace view is magnificent. The staff is very attentive and prepared a nice breakfast for us. It is a clean place where you can stay comfortably and feel at home. It is very close to the center and within walking distance. But you have to go uphill to get to the center :)

Boasting a terrace and a shared lounge, New Blue Home is located in Ella. Built in 2016, the property is within an 11-minute walk of Demodara Nine Arch Bridge. Free WiFi is available.

Had a great stay at New Blue Home. Nice room and lovely surroundings. Really convenient location for the Little Adam's Peak and Nine Arches Bridge trails as well as being a short walk from the centre. Our host Shirley was especially amazing. Extremely helpful and very smiley. While we were in Ella he gave us recommendations and arranged a tuk-tuk. He also arranged a trip for us to Yala NP then a drop off in Mirissa which was really appreciated. On the last night when we arrived home in a mad rainstorm he appeared with an umbrella and a huge strip light to get us to our room. Plus at our 4am start the next morning he was there to make sure we got our taxi and gave us surprise packed lunches. I'm not sure he ever sleeps! Such a lovely guy!

    The rooms of the facility are windowless except for one. We moved to a room with windows facing the road. But this room only has a fan. It must be waived. Stayed for one night. May not be suitable for longer stays.

    Eisha and her family were so amazing!! They looked after us and our friends so well during a really difficult time when our friend was admitted in Badulla hospital. Their place is in walking distance from the hospital. They cooked the most delicious meals and they were just extremely warm and welcoming. We couldn't have chosen a better place to stay. Highly recommend this beautiful, homestay.
