If you want to enjoy the best balcony view in Sri Lanka, book the Eagle View. It doesn't get any better than that. You can see for miles but you won't see any buildings, not even in the distance. What you can see is thunderstorms building up dramatically and coming towards you. You can really see eagles, hummingbirds, chipmunks - it's pristine nature out there (25 min south of Ella town). At night, all you hear is jungle noises, no traffic, no neighbours. Eagle View has only three rooms so consider yourself lucky if you've got one. The staff are the nicest and most caring people, you will really love it there (if you are a nature lover). Really comfy bed, too, and a nice bathroom. Unbelievable breakfast! What you need to know: you've got to pay for your room in cash when you check out. Also, there is no AC but two powerful fans. And the WiFi connections fizzles out every time there's a rain front coming through. Otherwise a perfect place!

The best accommodation we stayed at in our entire trip to sri lanka. We got the top floor room with air con. The room was extremely clean, spacious and comfortable. the view was amazing and we saw an eagle fly past our room in the morning. The staff were very nice and friendly. Everything was great about this villa. the only issue we had was that there weren’t much restaurants or stores to buy food/snacks. One of the hosts did take us to a nearby restaurant but I would recommend to bring some snacks with you and enjoy them with a nice tea in the evening.

We stayed in the department for one night, the rooms are clean and large. Villa with a beautiful view. There is hot water. In the morning we were made a wonderful breakfast with fruit, omelet and local breakfasts. It was very tasty.

Nothing, I loved it here.

This property was just AMAZING. I absolutely loved the room and bathroom, it had a beautiful modern aesthetic which was very clean. The views were just incredible and the staff Nadeeka and Udaraka working there were so helpful and friendly. Also the breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Absolutely loved my stay here and would 100% recommend this accomodation.

It’s a bit further out of Ella than I was expecting - a good 25 minute drive but managed to have a tuk tuk driver for most of the day then used pick me to get a car back later and then to the station the following day - so all good. Not sure I would have liked to have stayed in Ella !

Rooms are spacious and lovely .. that view ❤️ Breakfast was delicious . Staff are helpful and kind - sorted us out a tuk tuk driver to do Ella highlights in a day . Was amazing.

One drawback of this hotel is its location, which is 30 minutes out of town. This means there aren't many nearby cafes or restaurants, and you'll need your own transport to get around.

This lovely hotel, perched on a hill, has stunning views. The rooms are super comfortable, equipped with mosquito nets to ensure a safe and undisturbed night's sleep. Although the room lacks air conditioning, it has several fans to keep you cool. The staff is extremely friendly and helful. To top it all off, the breakfast is absolutely amazing, offering a great start to your day.

Everything was perfect about our stay! The rooms very huge, clean, bright, they had everything you needed (AC, fan, net, mini fridge) the bathroom was also very nice and clean and the view was amazing!! We also loved the location, its around 30 min on scooter (the owner helped us with renting a scooter) to Ella, which we did not mind as we hate loud and touristic places like Ella. This place was thus perfect for us to relax and unwind and hide from all the tourism and commercialization. The breakfast were perfect, so so delicious and fresh!! And the owner and the boys were all very kind, helpful and nice. They even made us dinner one day and booked a tuktuk for us on last day as we needed to catch early train to Kandy. Overall it was perfect stay and I would recommend it to everyone!

The location of the property is fabulous overlooking the valley. It's around 10 -15 kms outside of Ella town, but you can get a tuk tuk to their place. The owner, Nadeha, and caretaker Nadu were amazing. The breakfast spread that Nadu made for us was so wonderful. They even packed breakfast for us when we checked out early to catch train to Kandy. They guided us very well during our stay.

- Internet stopped working a few times for longer periods - sometimes a little noisy in the early morning - to far from Ella to walk (we had our own car but otherwise you need to book a ride 2.000 per ride)

- Good breakfast - Clean room - Beautiful view

Nothing we did not like.

Amazing views from the room and while we had a delicious breakfast. Super friendly hosts! Away from the Ella buzz so at night we could hear the sounds of nature.

We were on the same floor closest to the entry so can hear people coming in and out. There is also a gap above the entryway door where light shines through. As we were early sleepers, we had to turn the hallway lights off ourselves

Absolutely the most amazing accommodation we stayed at in Sri Lanka, specifically for the view of the rolling hills and the incredibly amazing spread for breakfast (the best I've had in the past week). The staff is super nice and generally a very quiet location 30mins out from Ella

This stay has one of the most stunning views we have ever had from a balcony. Perfect for the people that want a beautiful sun rise without having to climb a tall mountain to get the view. It was the most beautiful and cleanest accommodation throughout our whole stay in Sri Lanka. The staff is very helpful and the breakfast that is included was vast and delicious. If you plan to visit this area I would definitely recommend staying some nights.

It’s far from the city and in the evening it’s difficult to drive back in de dark.

Everything is very good and the owner is friendly.

It’s approximately 25 minutes away from Ella. If you don’t have a scooter it can be pricey because tuktuk drives are expensive around Ella. However we did use the bus. Since there is only one road, that goes up and down from Ella, it is quite easy. It’s only 100 rupees per person and it takes the same time.

The view from the balcony is absolutely amazing. It’s quiet and a great place to calm down and relax. The room was very clean and we had no problems with Moskitos or other animals. The staff and the owner were very friendly and helpful. They can organize a scooter for rent or a tuktuk (taxi) if needed. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend Eagle View Villa.
