The staff were extremely courteous, attentive, and helpful throughout our stay. Every little detail was taken care of beautifully. The hotel has a warm, elegant and welcoming atmosphere, and we truly enjoyed every moment here. Excellent service, excellent hospitality, and excellent attention to detail. A well-deserved 5-star rating in every aspect. We would be very happy to stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to others.”
“Wonderful peaceful escape with an unbeatable location Moi Ella is a great hotel in a truly fabulous location. After three weeks travelling through Sri Lanka, this place felt almost unreal — a calm and quiet contrast to the crowds and hustle elsewhere. The staff were very helpful throughout our stay, and the hotel itself is well-maintained and clean. Hygiene standards are high and everything is kept in good order. The style is a little minimalistic, but you don’t come here for luxury — you come for the setting and the peace. The views are spectacular. You find yourself constantly looking out over the deep valleys, completely absorbed by the beauty of the surroundings. Reading a book was almost impossible because we kept getting distracted by the scenery! A very peaceful and relaxing stay, and one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommended.”
“We had a brilliant stay at Moi Ella, the service was excellent, the views and sunrise was beautiful, the pool was stunning. The staff were so so lovely, we had a chat with the manager on arrival for about 15 minutes and he was so kind! The staff at the restaurant were so lovely too. We were on our honeymoon and they upgraded our room and made a massive effort for dinner, they made a candlelit walkway and took us on the balcony to serve us dinner. They were so accommodating and we really had a brilliant time! We would definitely recommend staying here, your surrounded by birdsong, the noises of the jungle, and a beautiful view of the mountains!”
“Amazing experience. The property is absolutely stunning and the staff is really helpful and kind. The best part of the day id to watch the sunrise from this hotel, which is the best part. Overall amazing experience and would come back again and again”
