Ella Black Bridge Grand View Cottage Sri Lanka

Liked: The view is magnificent! It is a little out of the center of Ella, but we wanted it that way, since we wanted less of a party environment. It's very quiet in the mornings - you can hear all the nature sounds. The beds were very comfortable. The hosts were super kind and accommodating. The breakfasts were very good!

Liked: The views are breathtaking, also the breakfast is authentic sri lankan. The host was also very kind😃🙌

Liked: The location is perfect to watch the Ella black bridge & the host is very good. We had a nice welcome with a delicious breakfast. Room is spacious, comfortable & clean. Also the location is just one minute from the Kithal Ella Train Station.Highly recomended on this place 💐💓🇱🇰

Liked: Fantastic location and well maintained property. The host is very kind

Disliked: None

Liked: If you want to stay in an upgraded hostel with a view, this is definitely a good place for you, but it is definitely not a place I would recommend staying. Let's start by saying that this is not a villa as it is described here, it is a simple hut equipped with three beds and other furniture items, crammed with rugs and old pictures. The toilet and shower cubicle (separated by a musty curtain) are less good than the ones I had in the military service. The cubicle is suffocating with the smell of mold and mildew and there is no way to ventilate it, so you have to leave the door connecting to the room open all the time, and then basically all the smells and humidity spread into the room itself. There were cockroaches, ants and spiders inside the room (there is nothing to do about this when it is on the ground floor overlooking the valley). At night, frogs and other animals croak and make noises outside the room. The access road to the hut is not paved with asphalt and was muddy throughout our stay. If you walk along it, expect mud and blood-sucking leeches that will stick to your feet. If you drive along it with a vehicle, keep in mind that there are rocks that hit the underside of the vehicle and cause damage (as happened to us, photos attached

Disliked: The positive reviews published here misled us into thinking that this was a quality place, only in retrospect we realized that the reviews were specifically referring to the view and not the accommodation conditions themselves. I highly recommend not booking this place and anyone who does book will likely be disappointed like us!

Liked: The view from the balcony is spectacular. Hosts are lovely and accommodating.

Disliked: It’s a little tight for 6 people in one room.

Liked: Couldn’t have picked a better place to stay! 🌿 Ella Black Bridge has the most stunning views, the comfiest bed, and the sweetest breakfast welcome from Nadiika 💛 Highly recommended!

Disliked: Nothing was wrong Nothing was missing

Liked: Did not like anything.

Disliked: This property has been misrepresented in the photos. It is difficult to get to with no road and we had to walk with our bags a fair bit to get to the property. It is NOT safe for children. We got badly bitten by bed bugs. Horrible horrible experience. We left the next morning even though we had booked for two nights.
