Absolutely beautiful location and villa. I’ve stayed in a lot of villas in Sri Lanka and this is hands down the best. We had transport problems and the host and owner were so understanding and accommodating. One of the best weekends of our lives, would 10000% recommend to anyone.

We stayed at Orelia with our 9-year-old son and had a great time. The place is located about 20 minutes walk from the center of Badulla, which in my opinion is a perfect balance between peaceful rest and easy access to the busy and noisy city. Badulla itself is a fantastic place to experience real local life. It’s a typical Sri Lankan town with very few tourists, and the people are incredibly friendly. I highly recommend visiting Badulla if you're looking for an authentic taste of Sri Lanka. As for the accommodation, there are a few wooden bungalows to choose from. Some are small, some are larger — we saw three of them, and each had its own unique charm. The smallest one had an amazing view and a spacious patio. The two larger ones had a second floor with stairs that might not be ideal for elderly guests, but they also had balconies and patios. The staff were extremely helpful and always willing to assist — whether it was doing the shopping, ordering meals from local restaurants, or anything else we needed. I highly recommend this place if you're planning a visit to Badulla.

For our group of six occupying three rooms, this was a wonderful place we truly enjoyed. It’s located outside Ella, but the 6 km walk along the railway is easy and filled with great views; the train ride is also a memorable experience and highly recommended. The accommodation feels authentic, with beautiful vistas and the gentle sounds of nature and local life. The host and his family are extremely friendly and helpful; we always felt safe and welcome. The owner even took us to a nearby tea factory for a fantastic private tour. Breakfast was a typical local meal; we apologise again to the host for not fully appreciating it. We highly recommend booking this place – every morning here is magical! 😊

The place has excellent location, built in peaceful jungle yet 10 min walking distance to town. I loved my room with 360° view feeling like in tree house. The hosts were very helpful and attentive, the food amazing. Little oasis in busy Ella.

We loved our stay here. The rooms are comfortable and the view from the spot is lovely with all of the trees. The rooms don't have AC but we didn't find that to be a problem as Ella is not as warm as other spots we stayed in Sri Lanka - we used the fan at night. It was good to open the windows to let in fresh air as it can be a bit stuffy and humid but I think this is the norm with the humidity. No mould or anything like this :) the location is great right next to a couple of main attractions (Littles Adams and Nine Arches) and some nice food spots but still secluded and quiet. The place is up steps if this could be an issue for you - it was ok for us. The host was super helpful always and also offered us transport and reasonable prices to get to different spots if we asked! We also did the cooking class which we really enjoyed. The breakfasts were a highlight - we had the Sri Lankan breakfast and absolutely loved them - slightly different each day with string hoppers and coconut sambal and different curries plus fresh fruit etc. The hosts also packed us a wee lunch of sandwiches and fruit for our early train and dropped us off there. We really enjoyed our stay here!
