Top Kalabululanda Hotel Reviews

Elevate Ella Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great views, very helpful staff. Wished we could have stayed longer"

Araliya Green City - Your Gateway to Everything in Nuwara Eliya

10/10 Excellent

"It was overall good and worthy"

The Cubes Ella

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel with great staff and a beautiful location. The breakfast was excellent - possibly the best chicken curry I’ve had in Sri Lanka. The only downside is that is quite far from the centre of Ella - and getting a Tuk-Tuk through PickMe was almost impossible - meaning I had to pay at least twice as much to flag one down."

Ella Flower Garden Resort

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed my stay and will definitely come back."

Tathya Hills - Luxe Garden Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing staff, amazing service. Can’t wait to come back!"

Serenus Boutique Villa

8/10 Good

"TOP LAGE! TOLLE Aussicht und die Wanderung um See bittet sich grad sehr an! Sehr erholsam Feines Frühstück"

Grand Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staying was really good and we enjoyed. Staff was very supportive, professional, and well mannered. Above five stars for everything. Definitely worth visiting they have doing a good job on maintaining the property and preserving the heritage. Garden is well maintained and they are doing a great service"

The Golden Ridge Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely staff and service"

98 Acres Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing place. Can’t fault a single thing. We stayed in a two bedroom suite and it was amazing. Staffs are very polite and helpful. Always ready to help with a buggy. Spa was amazing in a very scenic set up. Secluded yet just a few mins drive to main city centre. Pool area is nice but the pool is rather small. Breakfast is very good, made to order. Complimentary guided trek to little Adams peak just behind the resort. They gave discount vouchers for Ravana pool club and zip lining but we didn’t have time to try. Overall fully recommend."
