Smoking friendly holiday rentals in Bandarawela

The setting is absolutely stunning, providing an ideal environment to relax and reconnect with nature. However, December experiences frequent rainfall and significantly cooler late-night temperatures, so it's advisable to inform the host beforehand to prepare the fireplace and arrange for dry wood during the rainy season. The on-site assistance was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, always available whenever we needed help. Kudos to the bungalow manager for doing a fantastic job. We're definitely planning to return to this incredible place.

One of the best places we've ever stayed! Amazing combination of comfort and nature. The view of the waterfall is incredible! Silence, peace and unforgettable beauty. But also you have bathroom and everything you need. At night we laying in the tent and watched the fireflies and this is one of the best memories of our five year old child. The staff is kind and helpful. The breakfast was delicious, the best on our trip. We regretted that we had taken only one night in this amazing place. Highly recommended!

If you are looking a place to switch off and charge batteries in peace than this is the perfect place. There is no WiFi and you are in the middle of Tea plantation. The outside kitchen and living room are amazing and the view is breathtaking. That being said, if you are scared of natue (bugs, lizards etc.) you should avoid this accommodation. This place is really to enjoy and be one with the surrounding. The host is really responsive to all the questions and the caretaker very nice and helpful. Accommodation is close to center and shops and restaurants. We mostly enjoyed the outside living room and kitchen. Rooms are just as the host desribed. Little stone house is beautiful. Would recommend this to all the nature lovers.

Bola was an amazing host at the Villa. He sent a driver to pick us up when we arrived and made us dinner at the villa! He gave us some helpful tips, was very attentive, and even drove us to our next destination. I will definitely stay here if I return to Ella! 10/10 recommendation:)

Thilan’s wood house in Ella was absolutely breathtaking. The panoramic view over Ella is out of this world, and the wooden houses are beautifully designed with a cozy interior. Our rooms had everything we needed after a long journey: fridge, kettle, teacups, water, and tea/coffee, which made us feel instantly at home. We had such a relaxing stay, and Thilan even prepared a delicious dinner for us at a very reasonable price. One thing to note is that the road access is limited; cars can’t reach the accommodation directly- but Thilan arranged tuktuks for us, so everything went smoothly and comfortably. I vividly recommend this place. The view alone is worth it, you’re definitely not ready for how stunning it is!

One of the most beautiful places I’ve stayed in. The place is very well kept. Wajira and Shehan were always around with smiles to help out with anything we needed. The breakfast was amazing. They even served us local fruits. Most beautiful place ever and even nicer was their hospitality. Loved our stay!!

This is an outstanding villa in a hillside location with wonderful views of the surrounding hills including Little Adam's Peak, a waterfall, endless forest and low areas far away towards the coast. Rumesh was very welcoming and helpful with walking suggestions and tuk tuk bookings. Ella is a 30 min ride away and the track down to the villa from the road is bumpy with steep sections. The food was home made, delicious and varied and was cooked fresh each day by a lady in the local village. The villa has two very well appointed bedrooms with ensuite shower rooms and a large central area where we ate meals and relaxed. There is a small library and some yoga mats. Rumesh had planted cacao, mango, curry leaf bush, coriander and lime trees close to the property and we were able to walk through these. The wildlife includes a profusion of Sri Lankan birds, squirrels, boar and fire flies. This is one of those special places in the world that will stay with you for ever. Thank you.

Incredibly kind host family. They were always helpful, gave us a ride into town and organized a scooter for us. We used the home stay to explore the Ella region. While Ella is super touristy, the town of the Airbnb is very genuine and we loved the hustle and bustle. It is a separate apartment with a separate entrance. You’ll have everything you need including 2 bedrooms, 2 new bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a living room and terrace overlooking the property.

This airbnb was a highlight of our trip. Came here to hike devil’s staircase to the waterfall. The view through the valley and all the way out to Udawalawe national park is stunning. And the staff there were so attentive always offering tea and offering to pack a breakfast when we were going on a hike early in the AM which was really helpful. The room was simple and clean and cool at night due to being in the mountains. Cool enough i wore a sweater outside. Food was delicious, sri lankan dinner was one of our best on the trip. They also provided insider knowledge on local hikes which was great when we had an extra morning and wanted to get one more hike in. Note that it is not easy to get to! Recommend either hiring an SUV or being dropped at the train station and going the rest of the way by tuk tuk which can handle the uneven road and steep decline much better. Overall highly recommend
