Poomaz Peace Palace - Ella
3.0 star property
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (41)
"We spent two nights here and we were comfortable even though the room was basic. Breakfast on the balcony was lovely. There’s a steep climb back home after going down to the main street, so you will give your calves a good stretch, but it’s worth it for the view of Little Adam’s Peak that you get in the morning. Overall a very good choice of accommodation in a small, quiet guesthouse. "

"We spent 3 nights there with my family of 5 in two rooms. We found the location difficult to find on the evening we arrived as it was dark and raining. When we arrived we were met by the owner and his staff who helped us with the bags to the room. Given the location we were met by lots of bugs near the room entrance as the hallway lights were on. The owner was helpful and quickly sprayed bug repellant. The room itself was basic but super clean. We were surprised there wasn’t any air...

3.0 star property
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (8)
"The property was fine but there were two things that stood outabout our stay. Firstly it was a quiet location with fabulous views. Secondly and most significantly, the couple that ran the hotel where absolutely charming and extremely helpful. They made a meal for us when we arrived which was delicious and the helped arrange a tuk tuk for a morning of touring. We found all the people we dealt with in Sri Lanka were welcoming and nice, but this couple stood out as extra special."

3.0 star property
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (13)
"This property is the most beautiful place I’ve stayed at in Sri Lanka. At first, it was difficult to find as it was tucked away behind a school, but once we found it the view was amazing! The sunrises in the morning from their patio is a must-see. What stood out to me the most was the generosity of the family that owns this place. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was wonderful. A little bit difficult to get from the property into Ella city as the climb to the main road to access a...

3.0 star property
8.4 out of 10, Very good, (9)
"Love the idea of staying in a jungle camp, but this is really in an area of dry bushes, a total stretch to call it jungle. Food was amazing. Camp set up was nice. But very important to note that this is actually about 40km from the entrance to the park where you do the safaris. There are options much closer. It’s 30 minutes each way to and from the park, for 2 safaris that’s 2 hours of travel. Everyone was extremely nice but really wanted tips. For this star rating and the very high cost,...
