It is indeed a paradise! The terrace with the view is stunning! This was the best breakfast we had in 3 weeks in Sri Lanka and we stayed in way more luxury places too. The room is comfortable and clean and you have airconditioning, something rare in Ella. And the host Shan is amazing! He gave us great tips and arranged everything for us. Always responsive, the tuk tuk available, he made our stay! Thank you so much Shan!

    Absolutely beautiful location, outside of the touristy town of Ella. The accommodation was immaculate and so comfortable.We spent 3 nights here and the owners cooked dinner for us, which was the best Sri Lankan food we have had so far on our 2 week trip. Incredible view of stars and fireflies at night. Can highly recommend Kingdom of Rustic if you are looking for a quiet getaway in the mountains. Town and waterfalls all within short driving distance, owners are happy to provide transport if and when needed. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

    Do you want to party hard until the morning and eat western food? Then this is definitely not the place for your. "Welcome Inn" is a beautiful family guest house hidden in Ella. What you will find: amazing view from the balcony, mind-blowing breakfast, kindhearted people. Our hosts made us feel like family members in their house. If you want to experience Ella, ask Gayan to become your tuk-tuk guide for the day! He is incredibly knowledgeable and will show you the non-touristy, hidden places in Ella.

    We liked the room and the very private balcony, the rustic furniture and the very nice view of the small tea plantation. Breakfast was very good. Everyday there was something different. We had one lunch and one dinner at the homestay, both were very good. The family were very gracious and the price of their meals very fair.

    We had a fantastic time in Ella. Wasantha and his wife are very friendly. We were welcomed with coffee and tea and had a delicious dinner. Wasantha hiked with us to the Ella rock so we wouldn't get lost. He also organized a tuktuk every time we needed one or drove us himself. His wife gave us a cooking class in their wonderful, rustic kitchen. We were allowed to help prepare our food, which was delicious. If we ever come back to Ella, this will be our address.
