We absolutely LOVED “Lush in Ella”. If you are wanting to experience peaceful oasis in Ella, this is the place. The design of this unique space hits all the marks in an off the beaten path stay. A junglalow with a view of waterfall, the jungle sounds immersed in nature. The room is private, super clean and the design of the space is just perfect 🤩 it is a 10 out of 10!!! Saman and her husband were so helpful and kind. The breakfast was awesome… we are vegan and they were very accommodating. Thank you for being such wonderful hosts! 🙏❤️

This is where you stay if you want the best view possible of Ella. It’s simply amazing!!!!! Our balcony (from the top apartment) faced this glorious view and it was more beauty than one could take in! The room was spacious, clean, very comfortable and new. Everything needed is there including a small fridge and sitting area. Shower was great with hot water. Breakfast patio facing the glorious view - serving great breakfast. Bed was big and comfortable. Service was perfect. And the quiet was lovely with only jungle noises. Also on a clear night the sky was full of stars and on a clear morning the sunrise was incredible (we felt no need to climb at sunrise given the balcony view.) A rare find in Sri Lanka, truly a gem.

The location is not far from the downtown area but far enough to have a relaxing stay. You can easily walk to small Adams Peak and the 9 arch bridge from there. The host was a wonderful gentleman who made sure my stay was an excellent one and provided me with useful information during my stay. He even arranged my transfer to Trincomalee which I appreciated. The room itself was very comfortable with a fan that kept the room at a nice temperature as the nights are cool.Nice bed and good hot water pressure.

The view from balcony was breathtaking! Hotel is very close to Ella center by walking from the train line. We liked breakfast very much. And the most important thing Ramesh(owner) helped us to organize our trip in Ella. He also gave such good advises for everything very kindly🙏

Maybe for someone the first impression from outside is not perfect but after that you realize that this guys are doing perfect job. Everything is clean and breakfast is really very good. View is amazing of course and it was so easy to get tuk tuk from owners ( 6 min to Ella center). Family room is quite comfortable and balcony is so big.

Staff Thnaju is incredibly pleasant and softly spoken. Despite our last-minute need to leave before breakfast, he kindly offered us a fruit platter, even though we hadn't informed him in advance. The owner is remarkably attentive to small details, such as providing facial tissues, cotton buds, an umbrella, a beer opener, and even beer glasses, though we didn't use them. The minibar charges are more reasonable than those at the supermarket. The room is clean and cozy, with a powerful hot water supply for the shower! Thank you! ;)

    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

    nice host surely there would be a charming view, unfortunately there was heavy fog during our stay you could hear music and parties in the city center but it was quiet in the hotel :))
