My partner and I recently stayed at Ella Ayubo, and it was truly an exceptional experience. The location is stunningly beautiful, offering breathtaking views. The hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The room was spacious and romantic, perfect for a peaceful getaway. The service was outstanding, and we were particularly impressed by the delicious Sri Lankan breakfast—undoubtedly the best we’ve had during our time in Sri Lanka. I highly recommend this place for anyone seeking a serene and memorable stay.

Ella Ayubo is conveniently located just 1 km from Ella city center, making it a pleasant 20-minute walk to reach the heart of the town.

We absolutely loved our stay, our hosts were honestly the most helpful and polite people we've experienced on our month-long trip in Sri Lanka. They went above and beyond for us, ensuring our stay was comfortable and even helping us with train tickets at the train station upon leaving! The room itself is excellent, with a great view. The location is perfect, outside the main road of Ella but a short 6 minute drive with a TukTuk. We could not recommend this place enough, 10/10!

We had slight issues with wifi, something to bear in mind if you need to do video calls.

By far, this is the best place I've stayed in Sri Lanka. The room is beautiful, the view is breathtaking. It's a delight to wake up and go to sleep every day embraced by the forest. The location is perfect, very close to the center, but surrounded by nature. The most incredible thing is that, in addition to all the comfort and beauty of this accommodation, it has an extremely attentive staff who are concerned with making our stay the best possible. Mithula is a natural host. Kind, quick and super welcoming. I hope to have the opportunity to stay there again!

My husband and I spent our first night in the heart of Ella city, but unfortunately, the place was too noisy with heavy traffic sounds, leaving us quite disappointed. The next day, we booked a stay at Ella Ayubo, which turned out to be an absolutely stunning location. The people running the place were lovely, brilliant, and incredibly friendly. Our room was spacious and romantic, offering great service, breathtaking views, and the best Sri Lankan breakfast we had during our entire trip. The location was convenient too—just 1km from Ella station, about a 20-minute walk. They also arranged a special dinner for us, featuring a homemade Sri Lankan dish that was simply delicious. What made this place stand out even more was the incredible value for money. For the quality of accommodation, we couldn't believe how affordable it was—there’s no way we could find a room of this standard for the same price anywhere else in Ella. It truly exceeded our expectations and is highly recommended.

At first glance, it may seem like a small business and some might underestimate it, but during our stay, it truly exceeded 5-star standards in every way.

I recently stayed at Ayubo Ella, it was a truly amazing experience. The room is big enough and very very clean, we had everything we need in it. Mithula was the host and he was so welcoming and you will get best hospitality experience in Sri Lanka from his staff. The property is built in nature, and you will experience all the breathtaking views around it. you will see a beautiful paddy field and very calm and quiet place for your relaxation. We were not planning for the breakfast but want to try it after all the positive experiences we had, when we mentioned this to the host he was warm enough to take our request on such short notice and it was one of the best spreads of Sri Lankan Breakfast you will get for the value you pay. Amazing food !! The location is very convenient, its only 1 km from the heart of Ella city and you will not feel walking on it with beautiful scenes. We were told by the host they will have scooters if you want to rent it out, will be one of the best ways to travel for a couple or can hire a tuk tuk or a vehicle with a reasonable price. Would have stayed long if we didn’t had any other holiday plans arranged. Highly recommend for anyone who is looking to stay in Ella.

only the sound of the nature at night, which we enjoyed a lot! no noise from cars or city, so peaceful & calm. the rooms were nice & spacious. beds were very comfy. staff all the time tried to make our stay joyful and smooth - organized vehicle to Udawallawe for a good price. wifi works fine.

first night somehow we only had (very) cold water but next 2 nights it was nice warm. food was tasty but the two times we ordered without spices/chili food was still too spicy for us so we couldn’t eat, but the staff were understanding and took responsibility and gave a discount.

During my recent trip to Ella, Sri Lanka, I had the pleasure of staying at the Ayubo Ella, The highlight of this place is undoubtedly the breathtaking view it offers. With just three fantastic rooms, it felt like an exclusive getaway. Vaji, the hotel owner, was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. We took advantage of their scooter rental service, which made it convenient to explore Ella and its surroundings. The hotel is conveniently located just 1 km away from Ella Railway Station, and it's an enjoyable 30-minute walk.  The breakfast they served was super satisfying. Dinners were a treat, with delicious dishes that left our taste buds wanting more. Our room had a brilliant view, and it was spacious with all the necessary facilities. When it was time for us to move on to our next destination in Mirissa, the hotel staff helped us arrange a reliable taxi at a reasonable price. Overall, Ayubo provided us with an unforgettable experience in Ella, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting this charming Sri Lankan town.

The property is located within a walking distance from the town centre but in the same time the surroundings are so peaceful and quite. Surrounded by lush greenery and the soothing sound of birds singing all day long. It was the perfect escape from the city. Amithula is the best host you can imagine, he is actually more of a friend that a host. He went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home, offering helpful tips about the area. I’ve never felt more welcomed.

Everything was great

Wonderful place to stay in Ella. The hotel is located a few minutes away from the Ella railways station (about 500 local currency will get you there by tuk tuk) Mithun the owner and the caretaker of the place has such a positive vibe that it makes your stay even better and he will arrange everything that you need to make your stay a memorable experience. Room was bigger than I thought and the interior gave the authentic stone brick vibe which was a plus to the surrounding nature. There is small stream running down just next to the hotel although you can only hear it as the vegitation covers the area. And waking up to the sounds of the nature was a great way to start your day. All the general attraction are closeby and you can get a bike rental or a tuk tuk. Mithun will arrange that as well. Will recommend this place to all who are looking for a quite place to stay and relax and I will definitely be visiting this amazing place again

My recent stay at Ayubo Ella Bed & Breakfast in Ella, was nothing short of spectacular. This charming hotel, perched amidst the lush hills of Ella, offers an experience that perfectly encapsulates the beauty of this region. Upon arriving at Ayubo Ella, the first thing that strikes you is the breathtaking view. The hotel boasts an amazing view of the Ella landscape that left me in awe. It's a picture-perfect setting that makes you feel instantly relaxed and connected to nature. The hotel itself is a cozy retreat with only three fantastic rooms, which adds to the sense of exclusivity and personalized service. Wajira, the friendly owner, is not just a host but also an excellent guide. He went out of his way to ensure that we had everything we needed during our stay. His local insights and recommendations were invaluable in making the most of our Ella experience. Ayubo Ella's location is also a plus, just 1.2 kilometers away from the heart of Ella, and conveniently close to the train station. A pleasant 20-minute walk brings you to the station, allowing you to explore the surrounding areas with ease. One of the highlights of our stay was the hotel's staff, who were incredibly friendly and attentive. They made us feel like part of the family. The breakfast they served was superlative - a delicious spread that energized us for a day of exploring. And when it comes to dinner, I can only say that the flavors were simply divine. Now, let's talk about the rooms. The room we stayed in was not only spacious but also equipped with all the necessary facilities. It was clean, comfortable, and provided a brilliant view right from our window. Watching the sunrise from the room was an experience I'll cherish.

In conclusion, our stay at Ayubo Ella Bed & Breakfast was simply lovely. If you're seeking a place that offers an amazing view, personalized service, and a taste of authentic Sri Lankan hospitality, then this is the place to be. Wajira and his team truly know how to make your stay memorable. I can't wait to return to this hidden gem in Ella.
