"I had a good experience with the hotel. The room was beautiful, there was hot water, and the dinner and breakfast were delicious. However, due to the construction site nearby, the view from the window didn't match the photos. However, that doesn't apply to the hotel."

"Recommending if u wanna stay here, good service, good quality :)"

"Well enjoyed stay at Hoffman bungalow and hoping to come again for a another vacation."

"The hotel is situated at a distance of 14 Kms from the Elle Railway station. After eight hours in the train it looked quite a long journey to us. The hotel is in middle of a very very dense forest and there is hardly anything around it. The room was too basic for our comfort. The hotel reception manager Mr Sahiru is a very helpful person. We were told that since there are very few guests we have to choose from a set menu, one starter, one main meal and one dessert. It was getting late still I requested Mr Sahiru if they can make food of our choice without altering the quality. He called up chef and it was arrange. The food served was quite tasty and quantity was too plateful. The view of the forest from the top is just amazing but the top most platform to step up is quite risky. The steps are very high, it must be addressed. The mesmerising view is able to connect with the nature. However, we decided to cut short our visit by one day and head to Weligama by paying extra money to them. Since we were leaving early the next day our meal plan of breakfast and dinner was converted in Breakfast and lunch. Again the food was great and chef and staff were very very polite and helpful. Actually the manager felt bad that we are leaving early and offered us to change the room but we politely told them it is not about the room, it is about the isolated location and we can’t do anything in two days. They have a superb swimming pool which we saw the next day kids were enjoying a lot. If you are looking for an absolutely quiet place to spend your stay and you don’t care about staying with luxury you must stay at this place. In the end our gracious thanks to Eranda, Ishaan, Sahiru, and Manjula, at Moi Ella. You were all wonderful people but somehow we were looking for something else. Your Sri Lankan cuisine was out of the world and we loved it. A comment for visitors, all the websites will tell you to visit 9 Arches bridge in Elle but you must note that it is quite a steep and long walk from the road. You can take take a Tuktuk from the road but it will still leave you almost one and half kilometres of very steep downwards and upwards climb. My wife could not do it but went but it was quite a huffing and puffing while coming up. You might decide to go tere depending on how fit you are. As compared to many pictures there is no train ever passing through the nine arches track. Rather there are hundreds of youngsters sitting all over taking selfies."

"The good: Unbelievable view Fantastic service and really friendly staff The best breakfast I have ever had while travelling Knowledgeable hosts Nice location, about 1km away from ella town but really, really close to nine bridge arch and little adam peak trailhead Clean and comfortable rooms Would 100% stay there again The only issues we had were the wifi was pretty dreadful and we had to use data everyday The pictures are of breakfast and of the room view"

"The smell of the room is indescribable. We booked it because the surrounding good hotels were fully booked. The hotel bellhops were incredibly busy helping with our luggage. We had four people, two large and two small, and it took three people to carry them. They even lingered after delivering them to the room (wanting a tip). The sheets in the room were extremely dirty."

"The hotel is in the mountains and forests, the environment is very good, there is a large terrace, the boss is a very kind couple, the breakfast is also very rich, the black tea is very good, you can take various photos near the hotel, take pictures of the starry sky, the galaxy and fireflies on the terrace. Super cost-effective, very recommended"

"Beautiful, Elegant, Excellent. Everything from the friendly, knowledgeable staff, the comfortable room, the delicious food, the ambiance, and the beautiful location, was exceptional. Highly recommended for a peaceful, enjoyable stay."

"We had a worst experience in this hotel. Customer handling is worst. I think the owner and management should learn how to speak with customers. They don’t have manners. Service is very poor. No response for meal preparations. I don’t recommend this place to anyone 👎🏾"
