    Richard was a super nice host! We talked about a lot of things while having dinner or so, he is a very happy person who you will enjoy talking to. Also, the views were super nice from the dining room. And the room, of course, brilliant, we felt like in a 5 stars hotel.

    Absolutely amazing experience. Hosts are lovely people, they are very friendly and helpful. Helped us with useful tips, rented us scooter and arranged transportation. And the breakfasts are fantastic. The best experience in Sri Lanka so far. The attitude of the hosts and their treatment of guests exceeds the even standards of 5 stars hotels. Thanks a lot, we are definitely happy to recommend Alone Cage to anyone.

    Great hotel with excellent view for the Ella Rock from the private balcony. The owner was so nice and helpful, I’ve never received such a great service before, even in 5 stars hotels. Room was clean and in a good condition. The breakfast included in our accommodation was also very tasty and made by chef on our eyes. I will recommend this Guesthouse for everyone who is expecting excellent service, perfect view with a good price.
