"We had a wonderful stay at Villa Nalanda. Visaka is an amazing host and provided us with everything we needed. All our meals were home-cooked and delicious, the view over the mountains was just incredible, and her team is so lovely. Would definitely stay again!"

"Friendly and helpful staff. Authentic hill country experience . Close to centre of town. Good breakfast choice. Ask for extra blankets as it's cold at night."

"Vi tilbrakte to dager på dette herlige stedet. Nydelig utsikt, god atmosfære, vennlig og hjelpsomme ansatte, god mat. Om morgenen våknet vi ført til bønnerop fra et buddhistisk tempel (magisk stemning), deretter en minaret og så til sang fra skolen- det var bare en av mange ting vi likte med dette herlige stedet. Villa Perpetua leverte på alle områder."

"Myself & my partner stayed here for 2 nights. Unfortunately the photos on the website do not represent the actual rooms that you get. For some reason, the lovely tiled floors in the photos have since been replaced with a dark red, dirty carpet which instantly makes the room feel unclean. The shower head did not prop up. On arrival the toilet seat had dried up urine all over it. The red carpet had dead flies & many black hairs on it. There was often a very strange loud mystery noise that vibrated...

"Most beautiful location and nature. Host was so helpful and warm. Explained how to walk to Ella Rock from his property and gave us ideas of what to do locally. Even drew a map!!
We had home cooked meals which were delicious
And we went on the tea plantation tour at an old factory which he arranged and drove us too
Beautiful stay and lovely host ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"Vi havde indlogeret os på Club-house, som er den lidt mere eksklusive del, og der var også den mest fantastiske udsigt. Men værelset var fyldt med diverse insekter, som vi var nødt til at bruge lang tid på at få fjernet. Der var desuden også kun myggenet til dobbeltsengen, så dem der sov i de 2 enkeltsenge måtte leve med rummets insekter om natten, og der var mange forskellige slags, lige fra tissemyrer og bier til kæmpe græshopper.
Morgenmaden var ok, men aftensmaden var relativt smagsløst....

"Lacintha the owner was very friendly, he followed up on our check in, he was very helpful and nice. He provided breakfast on time the next morning. The location is very close from the center and restaurant. It’s very close also from little Adam’s peak hike. Recommend this place to stay and relax with an amazing view"

"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❤️"
"“I recently stayed here, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. When I first looked it up, I saw some older reviews that were negative, but those were from years ago when the building wasn’t finished. Now, it’s a beautifully built place—spotlessly clean, no bugs (which can be an issue in Ella), with a comfortable bed, spacious room, and a pristine bathroom. Everything was just perfect.
But the real highlight was the view. From the balcony, I saw the most breathtaking sunrises and panoramas you can find in Ella.
The service was outstanding. Priyanath and his team, including the chef and another staff member, were incredibly attentive and always went above and beyond to meet my requests—whether it was arranging a budget-friendly car service or responding quickly on WhatsApp. Even the owner was always available and helpful.
I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting in the future. It’s a hidden gem, and I’ll definitely be coming back "
"Excellent. Clean and comfortable with magnificent views. They are building an infinite pool on the roof that should be ready in a few months. The views will be even more spectacular.
Breakfast was also very good. Interesting, fresh and tasty. The staff were very attentive.
I would happily come back"
"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! "
"Had a truly wonderful stay at this beautiful hilly, mountain-side hotel. The setting was serene and refreshing, but what stood out most was the exceptional hospitality from every member of the staff warm, attentive, and always ready to help. The breakfast was another highlight, with a wide variety of delicious options that made every morning special. A perfect blend of comfort, scenery, and genuine care.
Highly recommended.
Please work on your parking though."
