Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Went here for a drink and stayed for dinner due to the incredible view. Tasteful modern decor. Friendly staff offer good service. Food (rice and curry in this case) is delicious and extra servings of rice and curry were kindly offered free of charge. Really great if you want to avoid the crowds in central Ella. Would strongly recommend this recently opened place. < 10000 SLR for 4 drinks and 2 mains

Beautiful restaurant with one of the best views in Ella. Off the main busy road and away from the very touristy spots in Ella, this restaurant is a true gem. The staff is very polite and friendly and the food is delicious for very reasonable prices. We had the jackfruit burger and margharita pizza (with real cheese, which is hard to find in Sri Lanka!) and everything was very fresh and tasty. We also had some very good coffee and probably the best lassis we’ve had so far in Sri Lanka - they’re a must-try! We definitely recommend this place!

We stayed 3 nights in Serenite, Ella. This was our very first experience with them. And it was beyond exceptional. The customer service was brilliant and very pleasant, they went out of their way to make us feel at home with their genuine interest in their guests. The staff was exceptional, namely Chathura, Danushka and Dilshan. The lady who cooks makes the best Sri Lankan food. The food portions are quite massive and 1 portion can be shared by 2. We had almost all of our meals at Serenite, as the monsoon season was upon us and we really didn't feel like leaving that comfy room. Chathura was very helpful in guiding us with a map on how to climb Ella rock and arranging a very reliable tuk to take us to to town and the station. The tuk guy arranged by them too was a very genuine person, who took a lot of trouble to make sure we had the best Ella experience. The rooms were cozy, spacious and the bed was very comfortable. We had a view of the Ella rock and the Ella gap straight from the bed. However the best view was from the bathtub, where you can actually watch the sunrise (do wake up to the best sunrise, its worth it) and see trains passing by in the mountains. The tub was very comfortable for 2 and quite luxurious. This place is best for couples we felt as the stairs to reach the rooms were a bit tricky (but if you're up for an adventure this place is exceptional). The staff really made us feel at home, which we felt was the highlight of the trip. We will be back again soon. We actually miss being at Serenite :)

We’ve enjoyed both breakfast and dinner at this restaurant, and each meal has been outstanding. For dinner, we tried the hoppers, which were absolutely fantastic. The view from the dining area is breathtaking, offering a direct sightline to Ella Rock and the valley below. It’s a beautiful, serene setting that really enhances the dining experience. Highly recommend!

Er arrived a little late at our homestay biwon. But this place was open and we got our first real experience, with rice and curry it was absolutely delicious. We ended up eating at this place 3 nights in a row. 😁 Ramesh the manager was very helpful with trips, explaining how to get around in the city. We will most definitely come back to visit

We arrive directly in the lounge-bar, the welcome is cordial with fruit juice. The big problem is the stairs, 99 distorted steps from our room to the reception: one night is enough. Two beds for three people, clean lingerie, air conditioning, wifi tv, hot shower, decent breakfast, quiet night with blackout curtains. Small details: stains, joints, rust prove that the main one is clean but the rest is very much any. A beautiful little pool that we have not tested.

Great place out of the hustle and bustle of the city. The food was very good, fresh, and they have very healthy options. I really like the relaxed atmosphere, and the place looks very cozy and well-designed. Very helpful and professional staff

We are so lucky to find such a wonderful place for dinner and chilling in our first day in Ella. The food was so delicious, portions were really big. But the most important is friendly team, Mr Ramesh was very helpful and kind!

This is such a lovely place with a stunning view of the waterfall! The staff are very friendly and service was excellent! We stopped off on the way down from our hotel and had a couple ice coffees and some wedges - best wedges yet I must say! Reasonably priced too considering the view! Definitely worth a trip up the hill!!

This was our 2nd time staying in Serenite Ella. Our 1st stay was amazing that we decided to choose it again after 2 years.It was super fun and they have improved a lot, facilities wise. And the view, amazing as always. Feel like home, the staff was really friendly and cool. Service was five star and the best breakfast we had at this breathtaking mountain range.

What a view! Possibly the best view of any cafe bar in the whole world. Great mojito followed by top food. Lovely service and nice chilled out music.
