"Had a lovely one night stay in Ella at Lucky Star. We had to catch the train to Nanu Oya the next day and it was the perfect Location to climb mini Adams Peak and Ella Rock, yet near Ella town so we could have meals there. The room we stayed in was brand new, and very clean. The decor is very local. The balcony was the best part, a lovely table and chairs and a swing overlooking a spectacular view of Ella rock and waterfall. Amazing! Wanted to sit in the balcony and never move! The Sri Lankan family are so sweet . Much nicer to support these guest houses than larger hotel chains and they take great care of you. It's very reasonable price and clean and basic. Would recommend. "

"This homestay is perfect in location, high up The in the hill looking down to breath taking view. The host Lilu has also added the charm to our stay. She provided us with the best curry dinner we had in our 2 weeks traveling Sri Lanka. The homestay is a short walking distance from Ella train station and town. We walked many times a day along the train track, then onto the parallel dirt track to-and -fro the homestay. deluxe rooms is in separate building bigger and 1 level above standard rooms and with bettering view. Breakfast is awesome and plentiful. We love it here so much, we will book with Lilu again for next year."

"It was rainy and misty when we travelled to Ella. but I was totally satisfied with will guest homestay. Its located on top of the hill with amazing balcony view. The staff were helpful and kind. You cant expect more than that. I would really like to thank Mr. will for his help during our stay. FYI, Ella does not have pharmacy or Hospitals , travelers have to travel at least 10 km to find a doctor. unfortunately, due to some circumstance , we had to visit a doctor. Mr. will helped us a lot during that period and took us to the doctor in such harsh weather conditions. Very thankful . "

"If you appreciate quite and beautiful view from your window and don't mind to climb a little bit, that's a perfect stay for you! It's a little bit far for the main street but for me that's was the best thing because Ella is quite noisy village. The view from the room is amazing, comfy bed and big bathroom. The room has also hairdryer and kettle. The owner is a very kind lady and she prepares delicious breakfast. Definitely recommend one! "
