The host organised at tuk tuk ride for us from our last hotel to his one. He greeted us at the door and check in was very quick. He had tea brought to the room where we had it on the balcony admiring the amazing views. The host asked us about our next location and if he could us plan anything to ask. He brought us to the train station that evening to book our tickets and then cooked us an amazing dinner. The rooms were clean with a fan, we didn't use it as being that high up its actually nice and cool. Shower had hot water which was a bonus ! The host had breakfast ready for us early that morning and drove us to the train station. We wish we had stayed longer.

This place is amazing! The hosts are absolutely marvellous, they were so kind, and they gave us great tips for things to do in Ella: - a great cooking class at a guesthouse nearby - wonderful walk to Ella Rock starting right next to the guesthouse - a taxi to Yala at a really great price (first taxi we took in Sri Lanka since we did everything by bus previously) - a day trip to Haputale so we could take the famous train, but only the best part (we missed it in Kandy) The bed is amazing, the surroundings a green haven of peace, at least when it’s not the weekend or a holiday, it’s hard to find quiet in Sri Lanka during those days 😅 We could see lot’s of giant squirrels from our deck, and one morning we woke up by monkeys jumping on the roof 😊 The included breakfast was abundant and different everyday (we stayed 3 nights). After two weeks of traveling in Sri Lanka, we are confident to say that this was our favourite place.

    The nicest host we have had in Sri Lanka so far. Very clean and comfortable room. Price/quality ratio was at the top level. Do not hesitate staying in Solitary Resort. You will probably not find a better stay at this price. Breakfast was very tasty and had a lot of variety. View from the terrace was stunning.

    Wow is the only word for me. We had a great time. Our Luxury tent was superbly situated face to beautiful mountain range and we experienced spectacular sunrise. Food was so delicious and our tent was also clean. The bathroom was something special and so clean. The owners are so kind and helpful. They look after us well and they guide us to the beautiful nature waterfall nearby. It was one of the main highlights of our journey . This is the best place we stayed during our holiday.

    This place deserves a 10/10 because of the view, owner, breakfast and convenience to town with the beauty of being away from all the people! It’s not a luxury place, very basic but incredibly clean and you feel completely mesmerized by the view, sitting having a coffee early in the morning is the best thing ever!

    Amazing views down through the valley. The staff were really nice and helpful. Everything was very clean - bedrooms and pool etc. The overall environment was very nice. Breakfast buffet was fantastic with a great variety of fruit, eggs, waffles, cereal, iced coffee and much more! Short walk in to Ella town. We really enjoyed this little treat of a spot, it’s slightly more expensive than places around but very worth it. Felt like a luxury stay in Sri Lanka.
