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! Beautiful rooms in a quiet area but within walking distance of the main street. Rooms were beautiful and clean. The beds were comfortable and there was a good shower. The owner and his daughter were very friendly and helpful. They gave us good tips for activities in the area, helped with transport and provided a delicious homemade breakfast every morning. We would definitely stay here again!

We had an amazing stay at the On Rock homestay! The homestay is located between Ella Rock and Little Adams Peak in the jungle, so there is an amazing view! The best part about our stay was the very friendly and helpfull host Rivandu. He helped us with activities en drove us around with his tuktuk. We will miss this place and would love to come back!

Everything was outstanding. Our corner room had fabulous views, it was comfortable (especially appreciated the portable fan) the breakfast was excellent (wished they would serve dinner too) and the staff was attentive and helpful. The walk down the railroad tracks to town was part of the adventure. We loved everything!

The best breakfast we had during our trip in Sri Lanka. Breakfast was very complete, with eggs, pancakes, egg hopper, curd with honey and banana, fresh juice,....perfect!! The guys were very helpful, smiling and nice. We forgot a souvenir in the room and they managed to send it to us to Weligama (thanks a lot!!). Also, we highlight the surrounding nature, even we could see monkeys in the trees in the morning.

we were flabbergasted by the view at ella gap from the rooftop. crew was amazingly helpful. they drove our tuktuk up to the guesthouse because we didn’t dare to drive the steep hill. hilltop is away from the busy and loud mainstreet. superquiet allthough 5 minutes from the centre. our host gave us the perfect advice to get around.

Really great location just up from the high street in quiet area. Pleasant terrace outside room with place to relax. Good hot shower with good pressure. Large bed and friendly host who offered lots of travel advice. No aircon in room, but air cooler in room was sufficient
