    Steep climb on a narrow road to the property can take some guests by surprise. Non the less, accessible by Tuk tuk or car. No credit card payments only cash. No restaurant or breakfast provided on property.

    Spacious and comfortable room. Staff was very helpful especially catering to our specific check in requirements. Good location with close proximity to restaurants and bars.

    The towels are clean but slightly damp. I understand that the weather is not sunny for the towels to dry properly. Maybe this is something that can be enhanced!

    The staff are so nice and answer all our questions on the tours, room,. We had a slight issue with water at night, but they fixed it the next day.

    We had many mosquitoes inside, but we had mosquito net above the bed. We did not have hot water in the shower.

    Nice and cozy cottage, good for short stays, near city centre.

    The water in the shower is quite hard to regulate - which is mainly bad for the environment as it takes time to find a good temperature where you don't freeze or boil. There is a construction next to the room I was in (the most beautiful view) but it was very noicy.

    The room is well equipped with a watercooker and tea (big plus point for me). The mattress is super comfortable and they have very nice sheets and pillows! I stayed there for a week do to some work that I needed to do and the room had everything I needed for that (Table to work on + I even got an upgrate for good wifi). The balcony is nice and also the view is very beautiful. The location is perfect, you just need a few steps to be in town.

    We booked two rooms, one was at the first floor one was grounded. The first floor room was quite nice, clean and big. The grounded one was also big but very dark and a little smelly. After two days with bathroom- window open everything was ok. The manager is very friendly and the location is quite nice because it is in the center but silent.

    There was a bit of humidity smell but this is normal because it is a wooden cottage.

    Perfect location, 1 min walk to the center but also a bit away from the noise, very convenient and it was much better than expected in terms of value of money. We took the room with a garden and it was very lovely.

    No AC but we did know that and the fan was very good We could not use our plug adapters as they would not fit in the sockets because of the wood around them This could be easily fixed if they just removed the wood around the socket as it seems to be decorative

    Super cute good location right on edge of town so not too noisy great value for money

    My room didn’t smell very fresh when I arrived, but that might be a one time “issue”…

    The accomodation is really nice. My room was spacious, all facilities were there. The location is super central, right next to Ella’s main street, but still quiet enough to relax. (The last walk up is very steep, something to keep in mind). Staff was very friendly.

    It’s very noisy, the central street is clearly audible. The road leading to the cottage is very steep, it's hard to walk with a suitcase

    The comfortable cottages are located not far from center. The personal was really helpfully.

    Perfect location in Ella! Just 5 minutes walking from the center in a quiet area and amazing views from the room balcony. Very good hospitality. The staff was very nice and helped us with all our questions. They also did laundry service for us. We stayed there for 2 nights and we would definitely go back! Highly recommended.

    It’s very close to Ella Main Street which is great but also very noisy at nighttime. The room is very quaint and rustic. It’s basic so it’s best to not stay here if you like luxuries.

    The staff are very kind and helpful. They organised a tuk tuk for me without needing to ask, they anticipated my needs and genuinely seemed to care if everything was ok.

    Just general advise: feel like the outside photos are AI so il put some real pic up Cash only

    Great location, walk 2 mins and you're on the main ella strip Private chalet with balcony and lovely view Kettle and fridge Basic but cute, has WiFi too The owner is nice and leaves you to it which is nice, but if you want to socialise there are no communal areas so probably not the best for social solo travellers
