Dulmini Homestay

We had a wonderful stay at Dulmini Homestay. The setting is beautiful with a balcony overlooking the jungle and abundant wildlife. The room is separate from the family’s residence, giving you an apartment‑like space. It’s super clean and ideal for comfort—so much so that we added an extra night. It’s about a 25‑minute walk from town, so very quiet except for the wildlife. The walk up is a bit steep and tricky for Tuk Tuks, but we got a driver’s number who knew the spot and used him every time. The family running the homestay are kind, and breakfast is amazing, sourced from their garden and varying daily. Portions are huge—at 1000 rupees per person you’re not going to miss lunch. Overall great value; if you want a remote, authentic stay, I’d recommend it.

“Incredible stay in my favourite place in Sri Lanka!”

The room was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. The staff were brilliant, always ready to help, and even brought me food to celebrate the new year! I loved my stay here. The only downside is that it’s very far from the main area of Ella, up a hill, but the peaceful setting and incredible views made it worth it.

The stay was amazing! The hosts were kind and gentle, and the place is a sweet spot in the middle of the jungle with a great view of the valley. We enjoyed it so much!

This place is amazing, with a wonderful family that’s so friendly and helpful. The food they cook is delicious. They arranged a scooter for me at a good price and even set up a taxi to Kandy for half the price that they were offering in town. I definitely recommend this place.
