Stay in this wonderful home stay!
Stay here! We had a wonderful stay with Kiah and Lucky. The views from the home stay are fantastic, overlooking a waterfall. Breakfast amazing. Home cooked muffins, beautiful fruit and Lucky's eggs were all delicious. Our room was lively and clean. Nicely appointed. Great shower. Kiah and Lucky very welcoming. Felt more of a family stay which was lovely.
Great advice about places to go and eat. Visited the AMBA tea plantation on recommendation which was a very special place.

A stay at Waterfalls homestay is truly like staying with family. Kiah
, Lakshan & their little son are delightful hosts, with a beautiful home.We stayed for 2 nights, eating dinner there the second night. Everything we ate was top quality & homemade. The best breakfast anywhere in Sri Lanka! The only word of caution is that the house is a long way up a steep hill which is not fully accesible by car, so if you are not prepared to walk 15 minutes uphill from Ella town, you will need a tuktuk, especially with luggage

Wow what a location. Opposite a running waterfall, with the occasional sighting in the distance of the famous Ella to Kandy Train.
The accommodation was like staying in someone's beautiful home. The rooms were really comfortable, the hosts were wonderfully welcoming, and the morning breakfast muffins were to die for.
With the added bonus of the lovely Ella being a 10minute tuttut ride away, i'm not sure there is anywhere better to stay if visiting that part of Sri Lanka.
Thank you from us

Khia and lakshan were such amazing hosts. Our little boy and their little boy were fast friends and our son made himself at home. They were so gracious and accommodating with anything we needed. Their breakfasts was the best we had- no doubt. Lakshan is gifted with making omelets and khia’s homemade muffins and breads were so delicious.
We’ll definitely be coming back!

This small hotel surprised us with its location in front of an imposing waterfall. The room was very correct and the breakfast was undoubtedly the best. The service and personalized attention is to be appreciated. We definitely recommend it on a visit to Ella.

We've had a lovely stay at waterfalls homestay. Getting there is already quite an adventure because of the road but we were warmly welcomed by the lady of the house.
She could answer any questions and give you some pointers for the area.
Additionally she cooks a very good breakfast.
The available massage on the premise is very nice and also very cheap.
From the homestay you can easily walk to Ella (which is a very fun town by the way, even during off-season) or a tuktuk can be arranged.
Would definitely recommend when you want to stay near Ella!

This particular accommodation exceeded our expectations by a mile. A tranquil haven in the middle of a lush jungle where we had breakfast accompanied by the babble of the Little Ravana waterfall. And what a breakfast! Homemade bread, jam, muffins, omelettes, etc. etc. made every morning a feast. The hostess and host were also perfect and helped us out in every possible way. Can’t recommend this place enough.

My parter and I were reccomend Waterfalls Homestay and we couldn't have been happier to have landed there for our one night stop over in Ella. Kiah and her family were the perfect hosts, settling us in, giving us a great tip for dinner, helping out with transport, and providing a beautiful breakfast in the morning. The setting is stunning and the room was comfortable and clean. We would definitely stay here again and would reccomend for anyone looking for a gem in Ella, this is it!

A very nice address! Personal and atmospheric atmosphere, very nice rooms, comfortable beds and every room is different. We arrived late due to a delayed train, but the owner helped us find food and ordered pizza for us. The breakfast was very tasty with home-baked bread! Recommended!!

Very warm welcome by Karen and Kaia.
15 minutes walk from Ella (touk touk between 800 and 1000 rupees). Absolute calm and splendid view of the mountains and the waterfall. No more lunches or dinners from now on but a breakfast facing the mountains with local specialties: fruit juices, fresh fruit, yogurts with buffalo milk and palm sap syrup, toasts, muffins with local jam.

I recently stayed at the Waterfall Homestay, it about five minutes in a Tuk Tuk out of Ella - not a great road but so worth the stay. During my stay the internet went down a few times - this is Sri Lanka after all! But it is well worth keep on trying, its a great place to stay, the people are truly lovely. Good Luck
