Amazing view from apartments (especially upper floor), large and comfortable rooms, incredible hospitality and care by the hosts. Oh yes, and breakfast, varied, with lots of fruit and attention to our preferences. Silence in the evenings. Great value.

The view is amazing. The hotel is brand new and thr hosts are amazing. It is a bir far from the main road, but it means you have silence and can relax, plus the view is great being on top of the hills. The free shuttle to the town and from the town everytime you need it is amazing. The host even prepared take-away breakfast for us because we left very early in the morning. Would recommend 100% to stay here if you are coming to Ella.

Our favourite accommodation so far after 5 months in Asia! Beautiful location with stunning views from the balcony and not too far from town. Amazing hosts who went above and beyond to make sure we had a good stay, they helped us with rides into town, cooked delicious food, and even made us a packed lunch for our onward travels. Super comfortable beds and pillows. We stayed an extra night because we loved it so much. A great experience overall, definitely recommend.

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!

The host was exceptional and really made sure we were looked after during our stay. On the day we were due to arrive, he texted us to ensure we had transport from the train station and even met us at the top of the road to carry our luggage in his tuk tuk. In addition to this, he arranged transport for us to our next destination for a very fair price. The cabin was lovely, nice and spacious and lovely attention to detail with decor etc., also, just a 10 minute walk to the town. The breakfast was great and we felt very looked after during our stay.

We are fortunate to have travelled the world and can say this is one of our favourite accommodations ever. The rooms are ginormous, so spacious, modern, the view is indescribable, the breakfast is some of the best food we've had in Sri Lanka. The staff are so kind and helpful and will make sure you have an amazing time. I cannot believe the value for money of this place, can't recommend it enough. Thank you Shan and Tina for such a memorable stay, from Fahad and Shahad

We stayed three nights in Pramitha's family room. The hoste was very respectful and friendly. We received a delicious breakfast every morning. The location is a bit higher in the mountains than other accommodations but definitely doable on foot (you can take shortcuts through steps), you are in the city center in 20min. Highly recommended!

Nice play to stay a little bit further away from the business of Ella. We stayed in the chalet. Next time we would choose for the newer accommodations, which looked stunning. Our room was certainly nice, but needs a little bit of love and attention. Private pool was amazing. Food delicious! We probably had our best curry from the whole trip!

Very nice and clean accommodation with a great terrace and view. The accommodation looks relatively new and very well made. The beds are very comfortable and there is even hot water in the shower if you wait a bit. Breakfast was very large, varied and delicious, the owners even cater to individual wishes and are very kind. One of the best accommodations we have stayed in Sri Lanka!

The views, the room, the balcony for breakfast. Our three night stay at Secret View was such a lovely experience and one of our best accommodations in Sri Lanka. We were able to explore Ella but also were more than happy to relax at the hotel when it was raining. Our host was so so helpful and was so kind to offer to pick us up and take us into town by tuktuk when we wanted. The location of the hotel is exceptional with views of mountainous landscapes and a gorgeous flowing waterfall. Thank you so much Secret View!
