CLean and comfortable with excellent food. IT is up quite a steep hill but easily accessible to the town and restaurants. HAd some good views from a spacious balcony. It is basic and definately not five star but we loved it and would go back again.

I came here for the food so I was disappointed to hear the chef was away and the restaurant was closed. But it turned out to be a good place to say--excellent value, clean, modern rooms. The balcony was great as you could look out on the beautiful village, rain or shine, and chat with your neighbours. Lots of other... More

Each I go to Ella (3 times already), I choose to stay at Rawana Holiday resort. It is cheap and quite comfortable if you choose a room with balcony or garden. Moreover, the cook is a real chef! Try their garlic curry; it is sumptuous! There is only one negative point, the lady, owner of the place, will recommend you... More

I can thoroughly recommend this place. The rooms on the top floor are spacious, clean and airy and you even get your own balcony.

The room was very clean and spacious, with a great little garden balcony and hillside view of the village.

The service was friendly and welcoming.... More

In this hotel we spent two nights. The owner is also the main chef - his rapid courses Sri Lankan cuisine - curry, of coure - are a unique experience. He does not charge for cooking classes, but donations to an organization that provides education to poor children are wellcome. The rooms are basic, but clean. The kids were impressed... More

We went to eat one night at Rawana having seen the reviews. As another reviewer said don't be put off when you go to book. The food was absolutely fantastic. The garlic curry and the aubergine curry were delicious - I could have eaten them every night. The owner was really friendly. Worth the visit!
