Volunteering as a yoga teacher at the hostel was perfect in every little detail. The place is just stunning and all the staff is so nice and joyful that I felt like home really quick. Each one with his own personality making a perfect combo and chill vibe to be around. I bring them all close to my heart now 🫶🏻 Miss you all!!! About the yoga teaching I was able to improve so much my skills as a teacher with two classes a day in that perfect scenario ✨ Teaching yoga, amazing food, adventures around and memorable connections - um million stars for this experience 🤍

I had an amazing volunteering experience at the hostel in Ella! Sumudu (Sam), the owner, is incredibly kind and generous, always making sure I had everything I needed. Ruwi welcomed me warmly and made me feel right at home. I helped as a yoga teacher, social media promoter, and breakfast server, and the super cool dorms made travelers extend their stays. The staff took great care of me with delicious food. This is one of Ella's most talked-about hostels, and it truly felt like a home away from home! Highly recommend!

Beautiful location, great for short stays but serious health concerns for volunteers. I got sick from a moldy, unventilated bathroom - unsafe for longer stays. I asked to move to a ventilated dorm and even offered to pay the cost difference, but the owner dismissed it with just “no sorry,” refusing to take my call during an emergency. I felt uncared for. I was even removed from the hostel's community chat after, which made it harder to reorganize the rest of my trip as a solo traveller. Poor communication & collab skills, a lack of care 4 health make it unsuitable 4 volunteering unfortunately

Our experience with this yoga teacher was not positive. She was uncommunicative, made unreasonable demands (including insisting on a luxury dorm due to unverified health claims), and created discomfort among staff and volunteers.Her last-day review seemed calculated to avoid receiving honest feedback. We usually avoid posting negative comments, but her behavior left us no choice.
If you’re considering her as a volunteer, please think twice. She did not reflect the values a volunteer should have

The team at the hostel are so kind and helpful. I felt very respected and looked after during my time here. The hostel is amazing, the beds are so comfy, the food is wonderful, everything is so clean and the yoga space is dreamy. Ella is a great spot to take a bit more time in and is a great place to relax during your travels!
