Lonely Planet , Aug 2009
'You get views of Ella’s big three – Little Adam’s Peak, Rawana waterfall and Ella Gap – at this motel-like place perched high on the edge of a working tea plantation. Rooms are comfortable and clean, but you are paying a premium for the stupendous views. Resident dogs Tim and Tina are your perfect canine walking guides.'
Travel Sri Lanka, Vol 3 No 11 , Feb 2009
At Ambiente guesthouse in Ella there are few things more beautiful than taking one step out of the wide doorway of your bedroom onto the patio and being presented with a view of a stunning valley, surrounded by magnificent green hills…….after one breath of the unbelievably crisp morning mountain air there is no place I would rather be than Ella looking down as far as the eye can see, to the valley that is Ella Gap

very clean, spacious rooms….magnificent views, friendly, free pick up from station. Pricey breakfast but setting compensates
Rough Guide to Sri Lanka , Nov 2006
One of Ella’s most spectacularly located guest houses, set high above the village and offering sublime views over Ella Gap. Rooms are modern and tiled (though the cheaper ones are a bit small and bare), and there’s good food, friendly service and a sociable atmosphere. The owner's two cute dogs take guests for walks in the surrounding hills

Aug 16, 2007 : Couldn’t ask for a better location, overlooking Ella Gap. At night the sky was a revelation. Rooms have a great view but not luxurious.
HF – Leicester, UK
Apr 11, 2007 : We treated it as a stopover hotel. Would not recommend for more than one night for families but what a view!
LU – Doha

LM – Wirral
Mar 02, 2007 : What a fantastic view -- a nice change after the hustle and bustle of Kandy. The staffs were great, the room was nice and the view from the balcony was worth the journey alone.
TW – Uxbridge, UK
