    The hotel is located near the Ella center, the owner is responsive and always available. The room has enough space. Both wifi and the aircon were working. The mattresses/pillows/blankets were nice enough to have a good sleep. However, we woke up early because of the loud prayers not afar. The breakfast was disappointing. In the evening, we agreed with the owner on fresh vegetables and fruits plus some oatmeal. In the morning we found boiled carrots, cabbage and potatoes and something (not oats) for porridge. When we asked for fresh vegetables and fruits, the owner brought us fresh fruits, greenish tomatoes and raw potatoes. In general, I believe that the hotel is fine but our own experience was not perfect.

    STAY HERE! Obey runs a fantastic package, hes more of a concierge than a host. Anything was possible! From a very clean and spacious room with balcony, a tailor made healthy breakfast, assisting us with our tight itinerary, assisting to organise transport means, stain removal laundry service, and overall impeccable hospitality! Deciding to book Ella Moon Rock was one of our smartest decisions.

    My wife and I stayed at Ella Moon Rock on our tour of Sri Lanka. The location is perfect, inexpensive, and a delicious breakfast. Obey and his wife are absolutely the best host. They opened their kitchen to us to let my wife make Turkish coffee in the morning. My wife had been feeling rough for several days. She woke up feeling sick, so I asked Obey if he could go get a pregnancy test. He was more than happy to go to the pharmacy for us. We found out we are expecting our 3rd child while at Ella Moon Rock. When we left, we forgot our coffee pot. We were already halfway down the mountain. We turned around, and we see a smiling Obey on his scooter, coffee pot in hand. If you are looking for a great host, and friend, Ella Moon Rock is your place!!

    The best accommodation we’ve had in Sri Lanka. Super clean and neat, comfortable beds, very nice bathroom with a shower with high water pressure (find that quite important 😁). Also very nice balcony to chill and enjoy the evening breeze. The breakfast was delicious and very generous - western for the first morning and Sri Lankan for the 2nd morning. I’d definitely recommend you to try the Sri Lankan version. The staff were amazing - extra friendly and hospitable, attending to the smallest of our requests. The owner, Obey - what a legend. Gives this place such a special charm, makes it feel like a homestay. Book this one, am telling you, there’s no way you would regret it!

    Best hotel in Sri Lanka so far. Fully in line with western standards for a reasonable price. Breakfast is great (the fresh fruit juice is amazing) and the hosts tried to make our stay as convenient as possible, e.g. by arranging a reasonably cheap taxi and taking care of our laundry. Clearly 5 stars.

    Nice, central location and the hotel was great. Our host, Obey, was super friendly and cooked a fantastic breakfast. Can warmly recommend this if you want a cozy place in Ella for a great value!

    Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The breakfast was not only delicious but also quite substantial, offering a delightful variety of fruits, eggs, and local cuisine. Our room was impeccably clean, complete with a hot water shower and high-quality bed linens, including a cozy duvet. Obey proved to be an exceptional host, going above and beyond to assist us. He arranged our train tickets, escorted us to the train station, and provided valuable suggestions and recommendations. We felt incredibly welcomed throughout our entire stay.

    Where to start, we've stayed in a lot of guest houses on our trips to Sri Lanka but this place is up at the top. Our room was on the top floor with a large balcony and good size bathroom. The breakfast was massive, we went for local breakfast and had currys rice, hoppers, fruit, juice and coffee all of which was great. But what really makes Ella Moon Rock is Obey the host, he is great fun to be around, will go above and beyond to make everything perfect for your stay. My partner even got a birthday cake and present. Thanks 🙏🏻

    One of our greatest accommodations in Sri Lanka! We really enjoyed our stay here. The rooms are modern and very clean. And the Rainbow Shower was a dream. The owner is super friendly and helpful. We felt very comfortable at all times. And we were also completely satisfied with the rich breakfast. The owner even provided additional vegan options. We would come back at any time. Thank you for the wonderful time!

    We had a great experience staying at Ella Moon Rock. Obey, the owner, was incredibly attentive and friendly, going out of his way to make sure we felt at home, even cooking an amazing Sri Lankan dinner for us on the last evening. The breakfast was also very delicious and vegan was no problem. The homestay itself was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Obey also helped us organize affordable transportation to our next destination. We would absolutely stay again. Thank you, Obey, for a wonderful experience!

    Conveniently located close to the center of Ella, yet away from the busy street. After having bad sleep in a guesthouse nearby, we found Ella Moon Rock a fantastic place to stay. Beds were comfortable, AC working, shower - great! Loved the high ceilings ❤️ We recommend to take it with breakfast - we had Sri Lankan and Western options and both were so generous and delicious, we couldn’t finish it all. Also, thank you so much for dropping us off to the station and best of luck with the business, we have no doubt you will do great.

    Very nice, clean & comfortable room with a balcony. The breakfast is great (fresh juices, string hopper, local specialities, fruits). Obey is very welcoming & helpful, we had a wonderful time in Ella !

    We stayed in Ella Moon Rock for 3 nights. The room was exceptionally clean. The bed was very comfortable and we slept very well. The location is good, only a couple of minutes by walking from the main street. Obey, the owner, has the perfect service awareness and skills. He his very communicative, attentive, and helpful. The breakfast was perfect. Very big, very fresh, very tasty. Everything is done in a high, professional, standard. If we ever return to Ella, we would stay there for sure, and I highly recommend others to do the same.

    The host (Obey) was just lovely. He helped us with laundry and getting train tickets. He even made us breakfast on our last day and drove us to the train station at 6:30 in the morning. Apart from the great hospitality, the room was clean and spacious. 10/10.

  • 5/5 Michael A. 1 year ago on Google
    This was by far the best place we stayed in in Sri Lanka. Obey (the owner) was so helpful and kind with everything and you could really tell that he genuinely likes to interact with and help his guests. The breakfast was amazing and so big that we never needed lunch. In the rooms everything was perfect also: really good WiFi, super clean, good shower (water pressure, hot etc.) Everything was just great here!

    The hotel is in a good location close to the center and the train station and attraction Speak Adams The breakfast was very good and rich, the owner was kind and nice and took care of everything we wanted. Drove us to the train in his private car for free, the rooms are large and spacious, highly recommend I would like to stay at this place again

  • 5/5 Rozalie K. 2 years ago on Google
    I recommend this accomodation 100 %. It was super clean, no noise from the streets, perfect location in centre of ella but aside from the main road. The host took really good care of us, he helped us arrange scooter rental, train tickets which are hard to get, and he also did our laundry perfectly (he has laundry business also). The breakfast was amazing, fresh smoothie and variety of options ( eggs, pancakes, curry, fruits). Definitely the best accomodation we had in all Sri Lanka.

    my stay here was perfect. The service, room and breakfast were very good, it’s a pretty location in a quiet street and very close to Ella’s center

  • 5/5 Erik P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great and very clean accommodation with incredibly nice hosts. Very centrally located but very quiet at the same time. All the attractions of the town and localities are within walking distance.

  • 5/5 Emali De S. 1 year ago on Google
    A Wonderful place to go with friends and family. Obe is the owner of this beautiful hideout walking(400m)distance to Ella town. Obe and his family are great hosts. When we visit ella we always stay with at Obes. As They were extremely accommodating. We got to hotel super early and I didn’t wanna wait. So this was a big plus as they let us check in early. exceptional service as always. The rooms and bath rooms are very well maintained and really cosy. Sorry I couldn’t take any pictures of the room. Safe and quiet place.

  • 5/5 Kathrin B. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is great! We enjoyed our stay at Ella Moon Rock very much - Obe, the manager, offers an outstanding service. He managed to get train tickets for us, helped with restaurants and places to go and even dropped us at the train station on our departure date (as part of the hotel service). Breakfast was also awesome! We also used the laundry service and the laundry came back after a day, perfectly clean and smelling very nice! Can definitely recommend both - hotel and laundry :-)
