Ella Nature Nest Reviews

This experience was awful. While the view is as beautiful as the pictures, the train runs right underneath it. The view is the only good thing about my stay. There is no available food or drink at the location - at all. Not even snacks provided at cost in the room. No water, nothing. There are no linens except for one towel that looked like it was purchased in 1993, and when I asked if I could have another towel as a hand towel, they said no. There was no mattress pad or warm blanket on the bed. The entire room's ceiling was covered with cobwebs. There were holes in the wall where sconces have gone missing, and of the sconces that were there, most were chipped and broken. The light in the restroom had exposed wires and was just a hanging lightbulb. The sink was missing the faucet so I had to use the shower for all of my washing of hands, brushing of teeth, etc. The hot water had to be requested and took 5-10 minutes before warming up. The window was permanently open so at night there were many lizards, ants, etc. crawling all over the bathroom. There were holes in the floor, holes in the restroom door. The only AirCon was a rusty fan that would occasionally sputter really loudly and wake me up at night. There were NO add ons in the room that are standard for hotels: robes, slippers, water, snacks, a safe, a boudoir, etc. If this was a hostel, I wouldn't complain. If this had been significantly cheaper than other Ella hotels, I wouldn't complain. But the fact that it had a 4 star standing on trip.com as a good hotel to stay in is why it was so shockingly bad.

Beautiful environment, rich breakfast, attentive service

The hotel is in a good location, beautiful views of the mountains. The only thing is a very steep descent to it. The room is clean and well-kept, but the same cannot be said about the bath, there is mold. We also had breakfast in the company of monkeys, who stole food from us. Breakfast is poor.

The hotel is located in the forest and is very unique! I woke up in the morning and saw the beautiful morning glow, I loved it! The boss and his wife are very friendly and treat people with sincerity and kindness. We were very touched.

It's a very interesting guest house. The hostess's service is very good. As long as you have needs, she will work hard to help you. As soon as you check in, she will ask you if you want tea or coffee. Sri Lankan coffee is very special and looks like a combination of coffee and tea. . The scenery outside the room is really good, with a mountain view and a waterfall. When looking at the scenery, there are many small animals, not to mention squirrels, and they are all well-behaved and cute. The location is also convenient. Tutu car or car It is convenient to get there. It is only 1-2 kilometers from the train station. You can take a tutu to many scenic spots.

Beautifully furnished room, in a quiet area invites you to relax, do yoga and meditate. Very, very nice owner couple.

I travel solo and I prefer quiet and peaceful places where I can't hear the noise of the city or the music from the night clubs. So Nature Nest was just perfect for me. I liked everything. The room was light and spacious, a comfortable bad, a big bathroom with hot shower and a nice balcony made my stay cozy and pleasant. And it was so nice to hear the chirping of birds outside in the morning. It took me about 10 minutes to walk down to Ella and maybe a little more to walk up. And every time the walk in the nature was nice and pleasant. Sampat and Nadeeka were really helpful, they gave me many useful tips and good advice about Ella and Sri Lanka and I just had a great time talking with them. The food they cooked was really delicious and also they were so kind to give me a cooking lesson and even a ride when I needed it. I highly recommend the Nature Nest to anyone who values comfort and calmness. And I will be glad to come back if I have such a chance.

Ella Nature Nest was just like how we expected it, located on the hill, though the center can be reached in a few minutes by tuktuk or a 10minutes walk. The owner and Nadeeka was extremly helpful, on our first and last day they offered us a ride from/to the accomodation. The breakfasts were delicious, we could enjoy the traditional SriLankan breakfasts ( especially loved the coconut pancake!! :) ) The rooms were clean, comfortable beds, great balcony ! if you want to avoid the noisy center choose Ella Nature Nest!

I would definitely recommend this accomodation in Ella! The hosts are amazing, very friendly and helpful with all our questions and wishes! The house is up on the hill in a quiet, beautiful area. Our room was very nicely decorated and clean with large windows, so we could enjoy the green environment around us. Also a pleasant balcony belongs to the room. Our breakfast was also very delicious. We loved it!

This place is one of the most peaceful stays I experienced in Sri Lanka. The atmosphere and the staff are super lovely. I will never forget their freshly made breakfast at our preferred time ❤️ they would provide almost anything you need and the place is super clean. I was supposed to stay in Ella only for 3 days, but it was super comfy staying in this hotel I extended my stay to 7 days 😂 I recommend anyone visiting Ella to book your stay with them 👌🏻

I met a amazing place to stay my vacation in Ella . It's actually a nature nest. It has beautiful surroundings. Always heard birds singing. It has calm and quite environment . Nature nest has comfortable and clean rooms. The owner and staff always help in friendly manner. Breakfast is very delicious. I am highly reccomend.

Ella Nature Nest is one of those places that deserve to be known: - The young couple who manage this atypical place, at the same time hotel, guesthouse or cabins in the middle of the vegetation is adorable! Their smiles and welcome will make your visit pleasant and warm. - The rooms are clean, of a decent size and have a balcony which gives the feeling of being in the middle of the jungle! - Breakfast is plentiful and tasty. The quality/price ratio is simply exceptional! Run there and enjoy this enchanted break in the heart of Nature!

Very nice and helpful owners, delicious breakfasts, clean rooms. Sampath was very helpful, he offered transport to the center and help in organizing travel to Tangalla. Recommended for families with small children.
