The location of Green Village is in a very nice place. The terrace view is magnificent. The staff is very attentive and prepared a nice breakfast for us. It is a clean place where you can stay comfortably and feel at home. It is very close to the center and within walking distance. But you have to go uphill to get to the center :)

Everything was very clean. We had hot water, toilet paper, soap, and good wifi. The breakfast was very delicious and every day we had something different. The family was welcoming and helped us in every possible way when we asked. It is literally in the middle of nature, very quiet, green, and you can enjoy the sound of birds,insects. Highly recommend Mountain Shack if you want a relaxing, quiet stay in Ella!

Lush in Ella is a brand new venue and a true hidden gem in the middle of the jungle. Yet it is very close to the center of the town. The owner Saman and her husband made us feel very special, especially pampering us with delicious homemade breakfasts. The room, bathroom, and balcony are very clean, the Internet works well, The washroom is spacious.

We had a wonderful stay at Breeze Blows Inn Guesthouse. The rooms were spacious, beautifully maintained, and ideal for families. Each of our children had their own bed, which gave everyone some much-needed privacy and comfort after a long journey — a real plus! The location is excellent — just a couple of minutes short walk from the center of Ella, so it’s easy to explore the town. There’s also a great outdoor area with a large terrace, comfortable chairs, and a relaxing hammock — perfect for unwinding after a day of travel or sightseeing. Most of all, we truly appreciated the warm welcome and kindness of the guesthouse owner. His hospitality made us feel right at home and really added to the experience. We highly recommend Breeze Blows Inn Guesthouse to anyone visiting Ella!

Our host Sudath and his family is an exemple of kindness and we were really happy to spend two nights there. Breakfast and dinner were super tasty. Sudath has a farm and serve his products. Any request, they find a solution. Location is perfect, not far from the turmoil of city center (5 min tuk tuk) and calm. Thank you again. We recommend !

Great view of the mountains to wake up to, super peaceful and calm area just off the main road and the buzz of Ella. Spacious rooms, hot shower and comfortable bed. There was no AC but the fan did the job. We had breakfast on the tables outside with a breathtaking view!

We arrived and loved the place and the family immediately. The room is separate from the main house, large clean and a fabulously comfortable bed. Breakfast is served when it suits you and is utterly delicious 😋 If you want to go into Ella a tuk tuk is arranged for you, and to get you back again. Also, great advise about things to do in the area. We loved it so much that we extended our stay by 2 nights. We were invited to the family new year celebrations and treated like royalty, what a privilege 👏
