Niveau anglais tres difficile, on a le sentiment qu'ils ont peu l'habitude avec les occidentaux
Apres nous avoir laissé filer, plusieurs témoignages nous attestent que les conditions de travail des salaries ne sont pas optimales.quel dommage, tout etait bien sinon, mais ca gache vraiment tout"

Hidden among lush tea plantations, Ravana Falls cascades dramatically from a 25-meter cliff face where locals gather to cool off. Hike the moderately challenging trail to Ella Rock for panoramic views of mist-shrouded valleys and the iconic Nine Arches Bridge.

Top Makulella Hotel Reviews
Ella Crest by Aloft
10/10 Excellent
"My stay at Ella Crest by Aloft was truly wonderful. The location is perfect with breathtaking views, and the property itself is very peaceful and beautifully designed. The rooms are modern, clean, and comfortable, and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The pool area is especially beautiful and relaxing. Overall, a fantastic experience – highly recommended for anyone visiting Ella!"
Ella Alpine Resort
10/10 Excellent
"“I recently stayed here, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. When I first looked it up, I saw some older reviews that were negative, but those were from years ago when the building wasn’t finished. Now, it’s a beautifully built place—spotlessly clean, no bugs (which can be an issue in Ella), with a comfortable bed, spacious room, and a pristine bathroom. Everything was just perfect.
But the real highlight was the view. From the balcony, I saw the most breathtaking sunrises and panoramas you can find in Ella.
The service was outstanding. Priyanath and his team, including the chef and another staff member, were incredibly attentive and always went above and beyond to meet my requests—whether it was arranging a budget-friendly car service or responding quickly on WhatsApp. Even the owner was always available and helpful.
I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting in the future. It’s a hidden gem, and I’ll definitely be coming back "
Hotel Onrock
10/10 Excellent
"Excellent. Clean and comfortable with magnificent views. They are building an infinite pool on the roof that should be ready in a few months. The views will be even more spectacular.
Breakfast was also very good. Interesting, fresh and tasty. The staff were very attentive.
I would happily come back"
98 Acres Resort & Spa
10/10 Excellent
"This was our second time staying at 98 Acres. The Resort and its facilities are wonderful but the staff at 98 Acres are absolutely amazing. They are always cheerful, welcoming, helpful and full of knowledge and pride both in their work and to guests. Thanks heaps. We hope to visit 98 Acres again! "

Belmount Ella
10/10 Excellent
"The view was amazing at Belmont it was absolutely breath taking and the rooms and washrooms were very clean. The breakfast was good as well. The only caution to look out for it there’s bugs that come in the room at night through the door to the balcony if there’s so hidden spaces, but if u stuff a bag or something in those spaces it should be okay. "
