    The best stay in Sri Lanka by far. Ananda and his wife are very lovely people and were extremely hospitable. The room is very spacious and kept brilliantly. The breakfast was great and the surrounding scenery was beautiful. Thank you so much, we wish to stay again in the future!

    / Even though the property is located a bit outside of the centre of Ella, that wasn’t a problem for us because the location is so peaceful and great for restful sleep and great starting point for walk/hike. You will not regret it!

    The nature around the accommodation, the hospitality of the owners, the facilities, breakfast - everything was great! But the kindness of the owners makes the experience even better.

    Very neat and clean rooms, hot water worked. No need for AC. Ananda was a very warm host. Good breakfast of fruits, salads, eggs, toast. His wife made eggless pancakes for us. We had dinner at the guest house one night which was good. Ananda took us for a morning walk. The location is quiet and peaceful amidst tree plantations and birds. We even saw hornbills. The location is correct on Gmap and 5 kms from the ella city, we had our own vehicle, so it wasn't a problem. For vegetarians, cafe rainbow was excellent with huge portions.Stayed for 2 nights.

    Very nice Accodomation outside of Ella in the middle of a teafield. Very child-/ familyfriendly. She cooks the best Curry and Rotti so far in Sri lanka. They were really helpful and you felt like a part of her Family. Definitly recommend this host if you want to stay a bit more quiet and outside of the Touristhotspot in Ella. It's also closer from there to walk to Ellarock and the organic trea garden is also just right next to it.

    Large super comfortable room with good hot water, stayed in the upstairs room with a great little balcony sitting area. Very accommodating and friendly hosts who cooked dinner for us last minute when it was too rainy to go out. Easy drive into Ella, located on a small tea plantation with lots of native birds coming into the garden. Fabulous breakfast. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

    The cutest, most caring/kind couple took care of us. Made sure we felt comfortable. You can really tell they have a heart for hosting people. They even gave us a present to remember them by. It was genuinely so sweet of them. I also have to say that my whole family is still talking about the breakfast we ate. It was that tasty and the presentation was great. Def recommend!

    Clean and comfortable rooms with excellent breakfast options. The staff provided great hospitality. The Ananda Rest offers a scenic view paired with cool, refreshing weather. You can wake up to the sound of parrots and various birds. You can walk to the ella rock.

    The stay at Ananda Rest Ella was absolutely peaceful! I woke up to the sweet chirping of birds, and the breakfast was amazing. The weather was a bit chilly and misty, which made it feel extra special. I highly recommend it for a relaxing getaway!..😊
