"No traffic noise as it is in the jungle. It’s about a 10 min walk to Ella. The road to the property is tiny the best is to take a tuk tuk from the main road."
"Leaving."
"Good location very separated from the busy Ella The breakfast was good I love it a lot The owners were also supportive and friendly"
"The trash-bin was not emptied when we got into the room, which was a bit scary to me. And we stayed for 3 nights but they only cleaned the room one time, though we asked them to do it a lot 😞"
"I felt like I was part of the family at Different View! hospitality was next level-everyone was so kind. It’s in a great part of Ella-you can see a big waterfall and beautiful lush greenery. Highly recommend staying here."
"There was some mold in the bathroom, but I’ve learned that it’s very common everywhere in Ella due to the climate"
"Perfect location, far enough from the main town area to enjoy a very peaceful environment but just a short Tuk-Tuk journey to bars and restaurants. The property has its own Tuk-Tuk and will provide transport anywhere for a small charge. Different View was the number one homestay of our trip. Lovely family who were always available but not intrusive. Best, freshly cooked, breakfast, (thankyou to the grandmother of the family). Lovely room, amazing view, very relaxing. Highly recommend. 😍"

"We had the new room on the lower floor and it was large with a sofa area too. The family are super friendly and gave us a great breakfast each day."
"Sadly, there isn’t really a view from the lower room as it looks on to a roof. However, we ate upstairs with friends and enjoyed their view."
"Amazing place to stay in Ella. Wonderful view, you should stay there if you want to be surrounded by palm trees and monkeys! Hosts were always kind and ready to help."
"Room was a bit basic. No kettle or small fridge. The tuktuk driver that accomodation arranged for us took us on a trip, but hit a dog while driving :( maybe he could stop and just check the dog if he was ok…"

"It was an incredible experience! Isuru was so kind with us, he took care of us since the first moment, the communication was great! If you want to get a very local and authentic experience, this is your place. Isuru knows a lot about nature and his country and we talked about so many things, we learned so much from Sri Lanka and its culture. The food was amazing, everything was delicious, I would say that is the best food we’ve tasted in Sri Lanka (rice and curry🤤). The location was perfect, so quite, not so far from the national park, also Isuru has a Tuktuk. You would be surrounded by nature in every moment, see the fireflies during the night.. ✨also you could have a walk next to the river and see a lot of birds ! The bed was so comfortable and the airco was perfect! Everything was so clean. The safari that we booked with him was amazing, i totally recommend it. It was one of the best experiences that I lived in my life🐘"

"We arrived late, around 9:30 pm. The checkin was very swift. Within 5 minutes we were in the room. The room looked basic but clean. There were 2 large double beds for our family of four. We had a very peaceful sleep. Next morning we left early for onwards journey and hence didnt have any food experience here. The sleep was comfortable. The staff were very courteous. When i called for extra water bottles past 10 pm, within 2 mins they were at my door with the water."

"Shen was very welcoming and helpful- he arranged a driver for our entire stay in a very comfortable car, rickshaw drivers to the tourist sites, as well as a safari which was amazing! Would stay again. 20 min walk from Lions rock and great restaurants."

Avis de Jzj Mirissa Breeze
"We had the most magical stay at 98 Acres Resort & Spa, where we got engaged! From the moment we checked in, the blessing was such a special touch that made our arrival unforgettable. Sudarshan went above and beyond with his attentive service, making everything seamless and personal. We also loved the yoga session on the helicopter pad — such a unique and serene experience. The entire resort is stunning, blending luxury with the natural beauty of the surroundings. If you’re looking for a truly memorable getaway, whether for romance or relaxation, 98 Acres is simply perfect. We can’t wait to return!"
Avis de Shannen 98 Acres Resort & Spa
"We got a free upgrade: three rooms with balcony and that was lovely: the great view, the refreshing wind (you don‘t need airco here), donkeys walking by and Singalees families enjoying the weekend. The best was Ramesh and his team! He did not only make sure we got everything we wanted during our stay, but also helped organizing our activities before, during and after our stay without any financial benefit (Wilpattu, kitesurfing and negombo boat tour) - just because he is a great host! We already miss his care and great humor!"
