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.

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 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 :)More
