Visit this place and support the locals. The house is rented by an extremely friendly family who would help you with anything. Staying in the middle of the forest is amazing because of the sounds of the animals. The road is narrow but the owner offers a tuk tuk to and from town. For me, this was the most authentic Sri Lankan stay experience

Lovely little place up the mountains (quite far from everything but if you want to relax and listen to nature, it's perfect). The room is very clean and smells lovely. Comfiest bed I've had in Sri Lanka! Lovely dinner and breakfast and very accommodating hosts. Super nice

Nothing at all. Roads leading up to his Homestay is very steep and only 3 wheelers can drive on them however all mountain roads are just this way so be prepared for it to experience the beauty of the Homestay and weather and meet the lovely family

I loved the view from my room. It was very cold and misty in the morning and felt so nice to have my breakfast in the balcony outside looking at the beautiful view. Breakfast was very simple but very tasty and was part of the package stay. The elderly couple running the Homestay were super friendly and down to earth. The elderly man even helped me to go up and down the mountain by his own 3 wheeler since that is the only vehicle that can take you up the mountain to his Homestay

A nice place to stay - first of all incredible views from the terrace :) You can admire wonderful panorama of Ella and the misty mountains from the nice terrace in front of your room. The room itself is pleasant with a comfy double bed and a bathroom with warm water. It's clean and nice. The location is good for the views but you must bear in mind that you'll need a tuk tuk to bring you up there (a very steep hill! ) The hosts are friendly and you can buy a home-cooked dinner and a tour by tuk tuk there.

We had a lovely stay! The place is up in the beautiful mountain surrounded by magic nature and view. The room was big and nicely designed, with big windows and a porch to the mountains! And the hosts, what a wonderful and kind couple! They made us breakfast (different every morning) and dinners were absolutely awesome and even drove us to Ella to buy beer... If we ever visit Sri Lanka again we will come back

We had a wonderful time at the Mount’n mist. The view from our terrace is phenomenal. We can even see and hear the waterfall. The hosts are incredibly nice. The made us a home cooked dinner which was super tasty. The room is comfortable and clean, with best Wifi we hd so far. We wish we could have stayed longer!

We’ve been here several times, and always love to come back. The owners are super nice and kind people and for us this location is unbeatable. It’s far enough from the buzz of Ella town down below, but still close enough to hike up or down (20 mimutes), also the owners are kind enough to provide tuk-tuk rides on very reasonable price too. The house is in the middle of a tea garden with avocado and jackfruit trees, almost on top of the hill, sometimes covered in clouds. The room is nice, the bed is comfy, the terrace is unbeatable, there’s hot water. And it’s super quiet. Highly recommended.

Need to coordinate tuktuk to go uphill. Going downhill is pretty easy.

Nice views and vibe

An amazing stay. Looked after from the moment I booked. Really good communication throughout my whole stay. Great privacy. I was in a beautiful new room. The view was stunning. Breakfast + dinner were both really good. The portion sizes are huge. Sat looking at the views. Arrival drinks and cakes. Picked up from the train station + dropped back off when I was leaving. Massive, thank you. My favourite homestay in Sri Lanka

Little tough to get there but all have similar access in Ella.

Great location, quiet and lots of birds around and mostly endemic types.

Location is a bit remote, but if you're looking for silence and relaxation, it's just perfect.

Beautiful and peaceful location on a mountain, away from the bustle of Ella city. Big and clean room with a comfortable bed. The hosts are very welcoming and offered to drive me to the major attractions by Tuk Tuk for a fair price. The included breakfast was amazing and plentiful, just as the additional dinner which is also very affordable. It's even better having the food while enjoying the mountain view and forest sounds. Overall, amazing value for money. I highly recommend staying here!

Nothing. The location is a little far but manageable like 20 minutes walking or 10 minutes by tuktuk but the view is a surprise and very silent so I slept well.

The overlooking mountains and scenery are feasts to the eyes. The family is very kind and honest. They treat me well and they have a son who stays in Colombo, they are a very nice family and assisting. The breakfast is good and decent. The bed and pillows are very comfortable. Good wifi connection. The shower has a good heater. You wake up in the songs of birds and trees. It's just beautiful there. The father who owns a tuktuk, he charged with a very reasonable price. The mom is very sweet and she took good care of me. I have traveled to many cities and stayed in many accommodations and believe me, the family who owns mount'n mist are honest and good people. So to the future guests, please be nice to them.

All perfect

A wonderful place, on the top of the mountain, a large estate in the jungle, with a large terrace. Fantastic owners. I will always be happy to return to this place.

The owners are very friendly and accommodating. I was picked up from the train station and went on a tour of Kandy with them. They even cooked for me in the evening so that I didn't have to go back into town. I can definitely recommend it if you want to stay outside the city in a quiet area.

I didn’t understand in the beginning whether I have or not to have to pay for the pick up from Ella. It would be good to make that clear :-)

Stunning view. Variety in breakfast. It’s beautiful to have breakfast on the terrace/balcony in the morning and see the jungle and mountains. The family is super nice and caring.

Nothing.

Respectful, intuitive and very kind family hosts who create and maintain a safe and comfortable environment – valued as a solo female traveller. The warm welcoming, smiles, laughter and care that was extended during my stay has certainly created a lifelong memory. The hosts Somaratne and wife Premakanti are very kind and humble people. Easy to communicate with - or if specific needs their Son, Chinthaka, is always contactable via whatsapp. Chinthaka contacted prior to arrival and arranged tuktuk pick up at very reasonable price. Genuine people and can be trusted. Provided options for onward travel including bus times, drop off to bus stand for small price, or private transport if required. The property is very peaceful and quiet, with the room and balcony overlooking stunning views of mountains. Warmly decorated and well-maintained property. Spotless linen and towel provided. Large comfortable bed and room, bathroom was clean, towel and soap provided. Delicious homecooked breakfasts! 10min walk to Ella town, there are steps bypassing the turns which shorten the walking time/distance that is displayed on googlemaps. Close to all the wonderful sights and attractions in Ella whilst staying in very serene environment away from hustle of Ella to enjoy sounds of nature and beautiful birds. Many thanks for a wonderful stay, I would certainly return in the future!

We loved everything we did not want to leave.. We will definitely return

We loved absolutely everything Mount n mist is set in the most beautiful surroundings the views are outstanding. The room is large with a wonderful terrace overlooking the beautiful mountains. Hot water great WiFi. It's a beautiful walk downhill to ella Town about 15 mins. The lovely owner picks you up in his tuktuk for a very small fee. Breakfast is homemade and served on your terrace so tasty and delicious. We were greeted with a delicious cup of tea and warm welcome. I cannot express enough how wonderful our stay was. The kindness and hospitality is outstanding. We ate evening meal cooked by the family and it was the best Sri Lankan food we ate. After travelling for the last 4 months this place is top on our list. Highly recommended.
