    Absolutely nothing. Samantha was beautiful and sincere like her property and hospitality.

    Samantha is a sincere and attentive host. She was always available to provide us with ideas for activities like a local waterfall where we could bathe, directions to little Adam’s peak and 9 arch bridge. The two latter are a short walk and hike from her accomodation. We travelled with our 4 and 6 year old and the location was a walk or tuk tuk away from the Main Street which has countless restaurants. The location of this property is beautiful. It is on the hill side and surrounded by tropical gardens. We saw squirrels in the trees and butterflies. No issue with insects or mozzies. I didn’t see a single mozzie so it was far more hospitable than my place in Newcastle, Australia. Breakfast exceeded expectations. We chose the Sri Lankan option. The kids loved the meals. We enjoyed Ceylon tea and coffee with cardamom. Food was fresh, local and organic. I highly recommend this accomodation if you are looking for a tropical oasis and enjoy nature walks. It was great to get some exercise in for us and not need to pay for activities given we could enjoy the hikes to 9 arch bridge and little Adam’s Peak. We would not consider staying anywhere else when we return.

    We got a very welcome and probably the best tea homemade we had during our Sri Lanka tour. They were very friendly, gave excellent location and food recommendations and did organize a driver for us to go to our next location. Everything was just perfect.

    Our stay at Samadhi Nature Resort was a delightful retreat into the serene beauty of Ella. The owner's special blend of black tea, infused with ingredients from her own garden such as cinnamon and ginger, was a delightful treat each morning. The personalized touch added an extra layer of charm to our mornings, making our stay truly unforgettable.

    A tranquil and authentic Sri Lankan haven in Ella

    I loved my stay at Samadhi; it is set slightly away from the hustle and bustle of Ella town so you have the opportunity to chill to the sounds of nature or you can be in and amongst it in just a 5-10 min walk. The facilities are ample and my bed was very comfortable. The owner and her son went out of their way to make my stay as comfortable as possible and I loved my chats with them - it felt like I was staying in their house in a good way. Finally, the breakfast was exceptional and in all my few weeks travelling around Sri Lanka, it was my favourite. Thank you and I hope to stay with you when I come back to this beautiful country.

    It's been a very pleasant stay. The people are very friendly. I saw much wild life during my stay, The city is quite busy and noisy. It’s better , The place is bit apart from it. And it’s super close to Adam’s peak and famous bridge. The rooms are neat and tidy. Got mountain views and was next to huge trees. I would recommend it to everyone!

    It's a very nice hotel in Ella. We had only a short stay, but it was wonderful. There were super friendly staff. Nice, big rooms. I felt like I’m in a tree house. They showed us the spice garden and explained about local spices. We found refreshment in the cool and shade there after tiring hikes. Beautiful flowers and gardens are memorable.

    Nothing ... Maybe a cushion or two extra for the seats outside .

    Just spent 3 nights here The location was really good.. outside the noisy center but easy to walk in and out or take a 2 min tuk.tuk . The room was huge . Two double beds with really good mosquito nets , with a balcony or terrace all around. The view was of the beautiful garden and trees which were occupied by so much wildlife. Loved sitting g on the terrace watching the small squirrels and the giant grey squirrel just next to us. Also had lots of birds including the grey hornbills. The lady owner was so friendly and helpful and the breakfasts were huge ..: bowls of fresh fruit , dahl, jam , hoppers coconut breads , toast .. all delicious . No AC was needed as on top of small hill so lovely evening breeze . Great shower with hot water too. Kettle , hair drier and small fridge in rhe room . .

    we had a pleasant stay! It was very calm and peaceful, and we had a chance to taste their dinner. It was yummy, the best traditional food I had on my trip to Sri Lanka, and the rooms are nice and spacious. But simple in design. It's a few steps to nine arches and Adam’s peak. And 15 minutes walking to Ella city centre.

Perfectly located next to little Adams peak and nine arches Bridge. The rooms got nature views and great stop to sit and chat in the evening.

    I got a chance to stay there for one night. I’m glad to be there; the nature and scenery around there made my stay memorable. The place is full of fresh air. In most places I visited, they had tall buildings, but there were no trees or wild life. It's a good concept that they maintain trees underneath the main building. I felt like I was in a tree house. The breakfast is great. Don't miss it!
