Staying at Wood Palace in Ella was one of the highlights of my trip. The location is perfect — it feels like you’re tucked away in the jungle, surrounded by nature and total peace, yet you’re only a short stroll from town, cafes, and everything you need. That balance between seclusion and convenience is hard to find, but this place nails it. The family who runs it make the stay extra special. The mother who prepares breakfast is absolutely adorable — she cooks with such care, and her warm smile makes every morning brighter. The breakfasts themselves are delicious, fresh, and generous. The owner is a great bloke too — kind, genuine, and always ready to help with tips, directions, or just a good chat. If you want a stay in Ella that feels authentic, welcoming, and beautifully set in nature without being far from the action, Wood Palace is the perfect choice. Highly recommended! 🌿✨

The owner Namal and his family are generous and kind. When we arrived Namal provided us with tuk-tuk ride from train station to the home-stay. The room where we stayed was comfortable and clean, but the best par to it was the view, which is not possible to explain with the words or photos. We really enjoyed in the nature and the view from his place. Also, the breakfast was delicious. In the end Namal help us to catch the local bus to the south coast. Thank you for the hospitality and help. If we return to Ella, we would like to stay at this place again.

We were in town for a big event, the location is a quick walk, but we could get a good rest without the noise pollution. Also, there are good restaurants nearby. The family that runs the place is also very nice.

The host was super nice and really helpful. He got out of his way to accommodate us! The place is lovely and you can see that they put a lot of work into it. We had a breakfast one morning, which was extremely delicious! We also got breakfast to go for our train ride early in the morning, when we left. The accommodation is a bit outside of Ella. So it’s really enjoyable if you don’t want to be in the buzz of it but enjoy some peaceful time. So all in all highly recommended!

The setting is marvellous. The staff cold not be more friendly, helpful and customer oriented. The cuisine is excellent. And the chef even went the extra mile to cook for us Sri Lankan delicacies, which were not on the menu.

They were absolutely incredible—I cannot express how grateful I am in words. The breakfast was fantastic and incredibly satisfying! Enjoying it on the rooftop while taking in the stunning mountain views was an unforgettable experience. The owner and staff were amazing! I took the highway bus from Ella to Galle, I accidentally left my small backpack on the bus when I got off. I called the bus company, but I wasn’t sure if they understood or what to do. So, I contacted the hostel. The owner reached out to the bus company and told me that the bus would return with my backpack at 2 p.m. (in 1.5 hours). Just as he said, my backpack was returned! Big thanks to the owner and staff!
