Arawe is a newly renovated 150-year old nature cottage located around 400m from the centre of Ella.

The cottage stands on a 5-acre land overlooking a rice paddy field and is the only guest accommodation on the property.

I don’t have enough good words to describe this place. We left with a heavy heart this morning, that’s how much we loved it. The bungalows are crafted with such love, attention to details and taste. It is surreal to be so close to Ella Main Street yet having your own nature haven. The place is so peaceful, you will feel completely disconnected from real life and be in your own bubble. The food is excellent, prepared in front of you at breakfast in your own little outside kitchen. They even have a little local crafts shop where you can buy macramé items made by local women they are supporting. I absolutely cannot wait to go back again, and this place has definitely been the highlight of our trip. Thank you so much for everything!

The place is amazing! Feels like a 5-star hotel but with love approach. The host pays attention to the small details: the towels are soft and fresh, there are roses in different places as welcoming, arrival drinks with a cake. I felt in love with the place. The terrace is also so nice. I could observe the squirrels and some special Sri Lanka bird. The furniture is modern and stylish. It is very near to the center and bus station. I will stay there next time when I am in Ella. Amazing hospitality.

Horton Plains National Park is 50 km from Ayubo Ella - Bed & Breakfast, while Ella Railway Station is 1.4 km from the property. The nearest airport is Mattala Rajapaksa International, 86 km from the accommodation, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service.

My recent stay at Ayubo Ella Bed & Breakfast in Ella, was nothing short of spectacular. This charming hotel, perched amidst the lush hills of Ella, offers an experience that perfectly encapsulates the beauty of this region. Upon arriving at Ayubo Ella, the first thing that strikes you is the breathtaking view. The hotel boasts an amazing view of the Ella landscape that left me in awe. It's a picture-perfect setting that makes you feel instantly relaxed and connected to nature. The hotel itself is a cozy retreat with only three fantastic rooms, which adds to the sense of exclusivity and personalized service. Wajira, the friendly owner, is not just a host but also an excellent guide. He went out of his way to ensure that we had everything we needed during our stay. His local insights and recommendations were invaluable in making the most of our Ella experience. Ayubo Ella's location is also a plus, just 1.2 kilometers away from the heart of Ella, and conveniently close to the train station. A pleasant 20-minute walk brings you to the station, allowing you to explore the surrounding areas with ease. One of the highlights of our stay was the hotel's staff, who were incredibly friendly and attentive. They made us feel like part of the family. The breakfast they served was superlative - a delicious spread that energized us for a day of exploring. And when it comes to dinner, I can only say that the flavors were simply divine. Now, let's talk about the rooms. The room we stayed in was not only spacious but also equipped with all the necessary facilities. It was clean, comfortable, and provided a brilliant view right from our window. Watching the sunrise from the room was an experience I'll cherish.

    Located close to central Ella with a very handy shortcut up the hill (don’t walk up the hill, take the shortcut along the train track ;) ). The views were second to none - we could see the whole valley and distant hills as well as a waterfall from our balcony. The rooms were very comfortable with a wooden cabin feel and a lovely balcony. The staff were brilliant and looked after us very well - very nice check in/out and helped organise our transport to our next stop. Breakfast was also a massive win - highly recommend the omelette!

Fully relaxation and mind refreshing in this location. Our Balcony outside can see lot of birds,monkeys squirrels,deers,pigs,mongoose and beautiful peacocks etc. You can reach to hotel 6 minutes from Ella City. Every where in Ella ,You can watch mountain view,but not watch jungle view.This location is no 1 in the Jungle View. right next to the Door.

    This is by far the best room you can get in Ella!!! The view is just absolutely amazing. It is quiet, the little wooden chalet is super romantic and luxurious and it has everything you need! And if this werent enough the host is just absolutely incredible. Tasty homemade breakfast every morning and I wish I had tasted his dinner. Easy to walk to Ella through a cute forest path or even over the railway which is a bit longer though.
