"The homestay double booked my booking so I turned up and they had nowhere for me to stay. At 5pm I then had to try and find a room in Ella for the night, in peak season. Ended up staying in a dirty hotel as that was the only option left after 3 hours of searching, and got severely ill from the food there. My whole holiday was completely ruined thanks to Dimuthu homestay. Unbelievably unprofessional. DO NOT book here, it is not worth the risk."

"This place was excellent! AC, beautiful pool, nice grounds with lots of different sitting/reading areas. Bed was comfy, rooms were simple and stylish, and the showers were hot. Absolutely no complaints. They packed us take away breakfast on two occasions for safari, but when we ate in on the last morning we had a HUGE breakfast with the best omelet, fresh fruit, pot of coffee/tea, and toast with lots of fixings! The dinner menu was not extensive but the Sri Lankan curry came with 7 different...

"We had a wonderful three nights here in a traditional homestay. It was in a very peaceful location but only a few minutes walk downhill to the lively town of Ella.
Cynthia and her family were very friendly hosts and provided us with enormous varied breakfasts. "

"I normally don’t write a reviews but this was the worst accommodation so I decided to write. I’m traveling all around Asia and this was the most stressful experience I’ve ever had in my life. First of all, room is not clean at all, towels smells awful ( it’s like someone’s already use it before), many ants climbing up on bed, and the worst thing is so many species of insects. We couldn’t sleep because of the many insects and mosquitoes. You can find much more better accommodation with this...

"While the location was good, the hotel was a huge disappointment and the room looked nothing like the photos..the bed had 2 small, old and flat pillows. The sheets were poor quality and pilled. No cover other than the top sheet and nor surface to even put my toothbrush down on in the bathroom.,plus the toilet was loose and moved when you sat down. The breakfast was horrible also.,pick another place.lots to choose from."

"Really beautiful view and lovely location, even with the occasional train passing by (if anything, it added to the charm). Very kind and helpful hosts, who loaned their umbrellas to us and accommodated our last minute change of breakfast time when we were running late from a morning hike. They also packed our breakfast to go when we checked out early on our last day. Walking along the train tracks is by far the best way to get to town and back in under 10 minutes. The paved road is quite windy...

"The stay was amazing. From the moment we walked in we were warmly greeted by the owners of the property who showed exceptional hospitality. The room was really nice and clean with an amazing view of the surroundings. The food was 10/10 with a selection of both local and international options. The owners helped with arranging a jeep for the safari and were ready to help with any other requests. I would highly recommend staying at the property if you’re going for the Yala Jungle Safari. "

"We messed up our trip and left a day early (holiday brain) but the hotel was very good. The location is great, while you will hear the call to prayer it wasn't an issue for us"

"Midden in de jungle 2 heerlijke kamers met warme douche, prima bed, airco en fan bij een zeer gastvrije familie. Maken, als je dat wilt, een heerlijk diner voor je klaar. Ook kan hij een zeer persoonlijke safari voor je regelen incl ontbijt in de jungle. Ze hebben echt alle tijd voor je."

"The room was huge and the facility was very basic. The guy at the reception was very kind to show me the short cut to the town. Wi-Fi worked well. Warm water was available but I had to bath from tap as water pressure from showerhead was too weak. It is because I stayed during the rainy days, I felt the room damp and bed little smelly...Considering the price and location, I could not ask for more."

"The biggest problem with this hotell was to find it. Our taxidriver asked tuc-tuc-drivers and lokal people, and no one knew the location of the hotel. They had'nt even heard of it. We drow around for half an hour. No signs along the road, not even when we were near by. When we walked back after dinner in the town, there where no lightening near by so that we could be sure to walk the right way.
The room was clean, but we missed a small table beside the bed. There were no aircon or heating, so...

"Le séjour s’est passé merveilleusement bien ! Un personnel aux petits soins , très accueillant et efficace, des repas excellents et des chambres tout confort"
"General manager to junior staff has been truly amazing during our entire stay.
Very clean, comfortable place for nature loving people like us. The lunch and breakfast we enjoyed a lot!
We sure will come back! "
"We had a short trip to Ella and booked Hotel Onrock for one night. The hotel is at the top of a steep hill and was a bit tricky to find but once we found it, I could not fault anything about the hotel. It was very clean and well maintained. The staff were all very friendly and made sure we were comfortable. The room was extremely spacious and the view from our balcony was breathtaking. The highlight for me was the restaurant. We had breakfast and dinner at the hotel and both meals were very tasty and had a variety of cuisines on offer. All the kitchen staff were very caring and went to a lot of effort to make sure we enjoyed our meals. "
"Best view in the whole city. we stayed in room no. 8 and i am sure we had the best room. the host is very welcoming and made the best breakfast. the walk to the city was easy and quick. there is no parking and the water pressure is low, but we can definitely recommend staying here. don't hesitate, the place gets 10/10❤️"
"This was our second time staying at 98 Acres. The Resort and its facilities are wonderful but the staff at 98 Acres are absolutely amazing. They are always cheerful, welcoming, helpful and full of knowledge and pride both in their work and to guests. Thanks heaps. We hope to visit 98 Acres again! "
"Outstanding new hidden gem of a hotel in kataragama. Entire staff from the pool cleaner to the resident manager focused on the customer’s experience. Beautiful campus with large pool and magnificent sites on all sides. "
"We absolutely loved our stay here. From dining under the stars by candlelight in the national park to waking up in the heart of the bush in our gorgeous accommodation- it was magical. Breakfast in the treetops was an unforgettable experience, and the entire setting felt like something out of a dream.
The staff were attentive to our every need, and a special mention goes to Robbie, who was simply amazing throughout our stay.
This place is an absolute must when visiting Yala. We can’t wait to return!"
