    Very friendly host, delicious breakfast (and tea!), perfect location: close to the Nine Arches Bridge and Little Adam’s Peak, near the road, but surrounded by nice flowers, giant trees, with lot of birds and squirells. The room is clean and comfortable. Perfect place to stay in Ella!

    This place is amazing! It's next to the centre of Ella, but you won't hear the music or parties. Instead of that you are in a small patch of jungle, with barking deer, giant squirrels and many many birds, including hornbills. We saw them all, from the balcony of the room! Our room also exceeded our expectations. It's very big and comfortable The owner of the hotel is a wonderful person. She is very friendly and helpful and makes a delicious breakfast. She adjusted the breakfast for the kids, which was a nice touch. We also got a small tour of her garden, which is full of special plants! You won't regret staying here. We ended up extending our stay and are very happy we did so.

I saw some big squirrels and deers during my stay. They got some spicy garden. They explained me how to use them. I would love to come again!

    All was fine.

    First of all, this accommodation is very close to centre and 9 arches bridge as well. We had really great breakfast, super clean room (really big one) and amazing energy of the host. She recommended us to rent a scooter which made our day in Ella much better and it was way cheaper than Tuktuk costs. If you want to have privacy and nice room, do not hesitate to stay here. We thank our amazing host one more time!

    Samantha is such a great host. She cares so much for her gusts. She made every effort to make me feel incredibly welcome. She shared her wonderful botanical knowledge of plants and medical plants and foods. We cut jack fruit from her garden, gotu kola, aloe Vera and others. She made beautiful food for me and kindly shared the best places to go. I can only say a visit to her wonderful place is highly recommended if visiting Ella.

    I have spend 3 wonderful nights at Samadhi Nature Resort. I felt in love with the setting, waking up with the bird songs and observing small animals on trees. The place is conveniently located to the 9 Arch Bridge, Little Adam’s Peak and a walking distance into town. The host was super welcoming and caring, always greeting me with a warm smile. Breakfast and dinner were very delicious. When I had to take an early train, the host packed a tasty breakfast to take with me.

    Not a criticism: the hot water broke down and she left us her own bathroom for the shower.

    The owner is a very good person that tries to help you in everything with a smile. Our room was in the top, like 60 steps, but you felt like living in a jungle tree house. She made us delicious breakfast included, and gave us good advices for our activities. She also recommended a good place for dinner, Ella Village Restaurant.

The Room was with Nature view of mountain's and huge trees around it. I felt like, I'm staying in a tree house. They have excellent breakfast. Don't miss it !

    nothing , everything was in good order.

    The hosts were very welcoming. They cater to you even on late night check ins. The hotel is amidst trees and you wake up everyday to a choir of birds. The view of the mountains from the top is amazing. They provide a very good breakfast of traditional Sri lankan cuisine. Don't forget to taste the cinnamon leaves. The location is very close to all sites in Ella. The hosts provide the locations of the sights and how to reach them easily.

    We loved this stay so much! The family were so welcoming and helpful with information of the local attractions. The free breakfast was the best breakfast we've had in Sri Lanka and there was so much of it! Loved the coconut roti and dahl. The room was spacious for four people sharing two double beds and the wildlife on the balcony was so cool. The location is a little round out of Ella main town but only a 10-15 minute walk and away from the noise, a great location for visiting Nine Arch Bridge and hiking Little Adam's Peak. This stay had a generator for in the evening which was great. The family also showed us around their spice garden.
