I truly enjoyed staying here. It felt very homey, the room was large, modern and well maintained, and the breakfast was delicious and generous. The owner was incredibly kind and helpful — she made sure I was comfortable and helped arrange a tuk-tuk from the train station for a fair price. I highly recommend this place

Perfect stay, perfect location with the most beautiful 10 min walk to Ella town. The host is so nice and accommodating, always making sure everything is ok. Breakfast is delicious and very generous. She helped organise tuktuks, dinner and laundry. 10/10!

an insect net curtain for the door and bathroom window would be nice

Nice room, warm shower water on request. Even a hairdryer available. Host offered fruit, tea and juice several times. Even cooked dinner for us at request, the best we had in all of sri lanka so far, especially the jackfruit curry. Very lovely host who was always available for questions. Even helped us organise a tuk tuk to the train station, also offers to organise laundry. Location seems a bit outside but we actually found it perfect, very quiet (unlike the busy center) and surrounded by nature. Can easily reach the traintracks and walk to ella or ellas rock.

We enjoyed our last minute Stay. They were easy to communicate with through WhatsApp. When the wifi ran out, they made sure to add more so that we could work. The breakfast was very good. You can see monkeys and peacocks from the front balcony. Hot water was sufficient. The only thing we didn't like was the strong smell of mold. There is mold all over the ceiling by the bathroom and outside of the bathroom. If you are sensitive to mold like I am, this could be a problem. It may be hard to avoid in this area as it was so rainy and allt of moisture gets trapped

It was a really nice accommodation! It was a very calm environment. In front of your room there was a balcony where in the morning during a really nice breakfast (when it is not too hot yet) the sun is shining comfortable on your face. The host was really kind and friendly and she even helped me taking care of my wound on my knee as I had fallen just before reaching the place. In conclusion I can absolutely recommend the place. It is a bit further from the center, so if you want to be close to the center, you might want to reconsider. We however enjoyed the tranquility a lot. Walking to the main road takes ~15 minutes.

Our stay at Ella Shali’s Home was absolutely perfect! The room was spotless, with a huge and very comfortable bed. The breakfasts were delicious and incredibly generous. The host was extremely kind and welcoming. The location was stunning, and the hotel is perfectly situated—just a pleasant walk from the center of Ella. Everything was ideal for us, and we even extended our stay for an extra night because we loved it so much!

Shashikala was the perfect host. I am traveling solo and she made me feel like home. The homemade meals, the afternoon teas, and all the directions and recommendations made me feel super welcome. The place is located a bit outside of Ella, which is really nice to get away from the crowd. The views are amazing, the space is cozy and super clean.

......nothing really

Shali just has started her business, she is very caring, the location is a quite and simple area, we liked it very, especially in nice contrast to the busy and crowded center of Ella, that suffers so much of overtourism. If you go to Ella and do not like the masses, go to Shali´s!!!

Very nice and clean place, everything was new and comfortable. The hostess is very nice and attentive lady, greets you with tea every time (tea and coocies, but one time monkeys stole our cookies from the plate :) ). The place is up a hill, but it's in nature, surrpunded by trees and monkeys sometimes. Breakfast was huge and delicious, it was a lot of different stuff with delicious tea or coffee. Highly recommended.
