Just spent 3 nights here The location was really good.. outside the noisy center but easy to walk in and out or take a 2 min tuk.tuk . The room was huge . Two double beds with really good mosquito nets , with a balcony or terrace all around. The view was of the beautiful garden and trees which were occupied by so much wildlife. Loved sitting g on the terrace watching the small squirrels and the giant grey squirrel just next to us. Also had lots of birds including the grey hornbills. The lady owner was so friendly and helpful and the breakfasts were huge ..: bowls of fresh fruit , dahl, jam , hoppers coconut breads , toast .. all delicious . No AC was needed as on top of small hill so lovely evening breeze . Great shower with hot water too. Kettle , hair drier and small fridge in rhe room . .

Nothing ... Maybe a cushion or two extra for the seats outside .

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this place, and I can’t recommend it enough! The owner is truly amazing—she makes you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. She serves a delicious, locally-sourced breakfast every morning and is always happy to share tips on things to do and places to visit nearby. The beds are large and comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep. The owner is not only kind but also very helpful, always ready to assist with anything you need. I really felt like I was staying with a friend. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy, welcoming atmosphere and a memorable experience.

The nature around the place is so stunning. The rooms facing mountain views and massive trees, a massive cinnamon tree more than hundreds of years ago coming underneath the building structure—it's like I’m in a little tree hut, It was a very quiet and peaceful stay, , I could sleep enough to move into an energetic day. It’s close to the main attractions of Ella; the little Adana and nine arches are only a few minutes away. There are cool pubs and restaurants around, Tasty homemade breakfast mixed with Sri Lankan style English breakfast. Parking available.

Samantha is a sincere and attentive host. She was always available to provide us with ideas for activities like a local waterfall where we could bathe, directions to little Adam’s peak and 9 arch bridge. The two latter are a short walk and hike from her accomodation. We travelled with our 4 and 6 year old and the location was a walk or tuk tuk away from the Main Street which has countless restaurants. The location of this property is beautiful. It is on the hill side and surrounded by tropical gardens. We saw squirrels in the trees and butterflies. No issue with insects or mozzies. I didn’t see a single mozzie so it was far more hospitable than my place in Newcastle, Australia. Breakfast exceeded expectations. We chose the Sri Lankan option. The kids loved the meals. We enjoyed Ceylon tea and coffee with cardamom. Food was fresh, local and organic. I highly recommend this accomodation if you are looking for a tropical oasis and enjoy nature walks. It was great to get some exercise in for us and not need to pay for activities given we could enjoy the hikes to 9 arch bridge and little Adam’s Peak. We would not consider staying anywhere else when we return.

Absolutely nothing. Samantha was beautiful and sincere like her property and hospitality.

I loved my stay at Samadhi; it is set slightly away from the hustle and bustle of Ella town so you have the opportunity to chill to the sounds of nature or you can be in and amongst it in just a 5-10 min walk. The facilities are ample and my bed was very comfortable. The owner and her son went out of their way to make my stay as comfortable as possible and I loved my chats with them - it felt like I was staying in their house in a good way. Finally, the breakfast was exceptional and in all my few weeks travelling around Sri Lanka, it was my favourite. Thank you and I hope to stay with you when I come back to this beautiful country.

I had an amazing stay at Samadhi Nature Resort in Ella! The breakfast was delicious, with fresh local ingredients and a great variety of options. The location is perfect—it's close to the main attractions in Ella, yet tucked away enough to offer a peaceful atmosphere. The view from the guesthouse is absolutely breathtaking, with stunning sights of the surrounding mountains and lush greenery. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and made sure everything was perfect. I highly recommend this place for a relaxing and memorable stay!

A real home away from home. We loved our stay here at Samadhi and would recommend you to stay here too. we loved it so much we extended another night ☺️. The rooms have amazing views you can see all the wildlife from the terrace, huge clean rooms and a super friendly host who couldn't do enough for us. Such a reasonable price, a really great breakfast each morning and she was able to do laundry for us too. You can walk to and from all the main points in Ella easily, to the 9 arches bridge and little Adams peak. I can't imagine choosing anywhere else and we would definitely return. Thank you for a lovely stay 🫶.

The most amazing Homestay in Ella - The mother and son who run Samadhi work ridiculously hard to provide the most comfortable stay possible in Ella. They are such kind and hospitable people. The rooms are huge, have amazing views from the balconies and delicious breakfast is provided every morning. The location is quiet and peaceful and only a 15 minute walk from Ella Town. I cant recommend enough if your going to spend the money on a nice accomadation in Ella - go to Samadhi! It will make your stay in Ella.

Nothing!

Look no further than this place if you want a lovely, peaceful stay in Ella. Everything was perfect! The room was clean and comfortable, breakfast was delicious, and the host and son really looked after me. I was given help planning walks, transport and local visits; nothing was too much trouble. The house is set in a beautiful garden and it was such a peaceful place to sit outside for breakfast.

Room was large with clean bedding and a good sized bathroom, beautiful view of hills and forest from the lovely wrap around balcony. Breakfast was homemade, mild and delicious - we were offered seconds after we finished all the dahl! We hadn't realised we needed cash to pay but the owner let us pay by bank transfer as our bus was due.

The place has a steep entrance and the sign isn't super clear it would be great if the slope could be made a little gentler and a sign made halfway up so you know it's definitely the right place when you arrive
