Really good and big room with a great view. Enjoying the nice breakfast on the balcony was a real joy. Also the staff was so kind and helpful. Highly recommended.
Great property for a quick stay. It is not a luxiourious stay, however the owners are kind and served an amazing breakfast. And the location is amazing. We would stay here in a pinch again! Would have given 5 stars, however we had a small issue with some ants in the washroom.
Amazing, family-run place. We had a beautiful view of the mountain and they made us a delicious breakfast every morning. The staff were so friendly and accomodating. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious. There is a very steep hill which can be hard if you are bringing yo your own luggage but worth it for the views.
Very welcoming host who was helpful throughout our stay.
Hot shower.
Delicious breakfast for $5 each, with an array of items. Excellent value for money.
Very charming little guesthouse right in Ella town but not on the main street. Nice breakfast served on the balcony. Hot water ran out on our first night but not on the second.
Very friendly staff and wonderful property. They are located close to the main area of restaurants and a quick drive to things like Little Adam’s Peak. The place itself is very nice and well maintained. Breakfast is tasty- what seems like the standard Sri Lankan breakfast, but well done.

Great central affordable option. Only recommendation is to put blinds on the glass doors as the sun in the morning and patio light at night make it challenging to sleep.
This is the PERFECT place. The host is amazing. The location is great, walking distance (1 block) to the main area of town but far enough away to be out of the noise and bustle. The rooms are spotless and the breakfast is amazing, served on a private terrace. Highly recommend.
We spent two nights here and we were comfortable even though the room was basic. Breakfast on the balcony was lovely. There’s a steep climb back home after going down to the main street, so you will give your calves a good stretch, but it’s worth it for the view of Little Adam’s Peak that you get in the morning. Overall a very good choice of accommodation in a small, quiet guesthouse.
Very friendly owner. He helped me with transportation, cutting the fruit, very quick reply via WhatsApp.
If you like to be in the center of city this is a good place. On the other hand you always hear road and music, so not that quiet.
Wonderful place!
Walking distance to the restaurants and main street ... poomaz is sooo nice you ask for anything and u will have it in front of ur door in one minute!
The breakfast is delicious, room spacious and so clean! You will feel at home. We even wanted to have some laundry but it was too late in the evening and the second day we were leaving he suggested to do our clothes in his private washing machine! I highly recommend the place
We had reserved at Poomaz but lost it at the last minute. Poorna helped us find another place for the night. On the second night we stayed at Poomaz. The room was clean and had a beautiful view. Breakfast was delicious. The location was perfect away from the city. The only downside was some barking dogs in the middle of the night but the owners made them stop. Otherwise it was a pleasant stay.
We really enjoyed our stay in the villa. It was lovely and spacious, beds were comfortable and the location was excellent, close enough to the excitement without having to hear any of it. Poorna is very friendly and communicative and they did a great job with our laundry. We saw a mongoose in the yard whilst we were there in addition to the very cute dog that lives there. No air con which was fine but also the windows don't have fly screens on them so we were a bit reluctant to leave them open at night for fear of being eaten by mosquitoes so we relied upon the fans in the room. We didn't have a problem with hot water but we were also mindful to be quick. Overall a lovely place to stay near all the restaurants in town.
We stayed at the Poomaz Peace palace for 3 nights. The accommodation is within minutes of the main street and because of the close proximity you can hear the live music each night. However the music usually does stop by 23:00.
The room was spacious and clean and offers a fridge, kettle, hair dryer, soap, towels and has a shared balcony where breakfast is served each morning. The wifi connection was good and Poorna the owner was very responsive and available via whats app for any requests or problems. ( We made a request for a spare blanket and a take away breakfast on our last morning. Both requests were facilitated efficiently)
Overall we enjoyed our stay at the Poomaz peace palace. The only niggle I had about the room was the placements of the plug sockets meant that you aren't able to charge your phone from the bedside.
I would recommend Poomaz peace palace to anyone who wants to be close to Ella centre.
This place is incredible! We were a little worried when our driver initially dropped us off with our bags at the bottom of the steep road and said the road was too tight for the minivan to get through. We walked a little further than we should have, but we found the hotel and as we were escorted to our room our mouths dropped. The room is incredible! We were 3 people, but this place was clearly meant for 6. Two king beds on either side of a little staircase that took you up to 2 single beds (loft style). This place would be perfect for friends or a family with kids. We almost wanted to cancel the rest of our trip and stay longer.
The room itself has a seating area, a kitchenette, a small fridge. The bathroom is provided with shower gel and shampoo (these are luxuries that are not provided in all hotels in Sri Lanka). The set up feels more like a guesthouse than a hotel room.
The location is wonderfully located next to all the restaurants and the shopping. We took a walk in the evening and had dinner at Chill Cafe (which was recommended to us twice by locals in different cities). Definitely can't wait to go back to Poomaz Peace Palace.
