Guest Houses in Wellawaya

The room was very comfortable, clean, well equipped and well maintained. Breakfast was delicious and the staff were delightful, extremely friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. I will definitely return.

We, my girlfriend and I, have experienced our stay as a wonderful journey. When we arrived, we were faced with a closed gate, but within seconds the owner arrived. After checking in, we entered the room – perfect! A nice big bed, a clean and spacious bathroom, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and everything you could need! After having a little chat, the hotel owner asked about our plans. We mentioned that we came for the nature and tranquility, and without hesitation, he offered to show us around the area. This was the start of an experience we will never forget. 🙏 First, we went to a small waterfall, very local with no tourists – just some local youngsters hanging out who even offered us a beer. Then he took us to Diyaluma Falls – what a massive waterfall that was! He offered us lunch, which he had made himself! A sandwich we’ll never forget; it was incredibly delicious. Next, we visited Buduruwagala Rock Carvings, where the owner introduced us to Buddhism. The place was surrounded by nature – trees, plants, birds – pure enjoyment. We thought we were heading back to the hotel, but nothing could be further from the truth. We visited real monks, where we received blessings and a white bracelet from an elderly monk. They also offered us boiled corn – so tasty! After the visit, we continued back to the hotel. On the way, we ran into a friend of the owner, who invited us to their home. When we arrived, the whole family was there to meet us. What kind and friendly people! They offered us tea and chocolate biscuits, and my girlfriend even received a gift! It gave us such a happy feeling, something we will cherish forever. ❤️ Then it was time to head back to the hotel – or so we thought. Instead, we went elephant spotting! Yes, you read that right – real wild elephants! It got quite late, but we spotted several wild animals, including both a male and female elephant. This, too, will stay with us forever.

One of the best stays in Sri Lanka! The room.was not too hot even during the day + very quiet for sleeping 😴 The location is good as you can easily access the waterfalls and the temple. Wifi was working. Bed + mosquito net. Everything great !

How much do you have to dislike your hotel for everything to be dirty?

The hosts take an enormous amount of care to make their guests are treated well and feel happy. On arrival we were greated with a pot of tea and advice about the area, where to eat and an offer to visit the famous cliff Buddha statues at Buduruwagala. Which are definitely worth the tuktuk trip. Water is always on tap. The Sri Lankan breakfast for 2 cooked by mama host would have been enough for 4. Wonderful! The place is a green oasis in the town centre. Even the shower water was cold from the hills towards Ella.

Clean, comfortable and lovely. Nadeeka and the staff were all especially friendly and helpful

A brand new hotel. Absolutely amazing experience. Super welcoming team, extra cute rooms and natural outside, tasty food and care all around. We felt in love. Thank you very much!

Gorgeous place, so modern and the view's amazing! Felt so comfy and relaxed after that long drive. Peaceful and quiet, but just a 15-minute stroll to Ella town. The host was super friendly and helpful, and breakfast was great. She even packed us an awesome breakfast to go when we had to leave early for our train!

Near Ella Siyapatha Hut Restaurant, very good food. Good mountain view. Lovely dog called momo. Comfortable bed. Good mosquito net. Excellent breakfast.

If you like the contact with the wild nature, this place will be for you. On our side we have been pleasantly surprised by the location even if it is very close to the Ella center. We have been able to walk to the center where there are a lot of restaurant for only 10 minutes. The couple who rent the rooms are very kind and they serve a breakfast completly homemade (even the jam). The breakfast is served on your own room terrace in front of the jungle (discreetly, through a hidden door)
