The best thing about this homestay is their friendly service, the family members who are running the place, are very cordial, they treat locals same as to the foreigners ❤️. Room and the bathroom were clean and comfortable, worth the price 👍. The breakfast was so tasty and refreshing, very good start for the day. It was an amazing stay at Green Village, will surely visit again when we come to ella 😍.

From the very beginning, communication was excellent. Thihara (the son) helped us arrange transportation from Kirinda to their accommodation, and during our stay, his father was always available whenever we needed a tuk-tuk. The prices were reasonable as well. The host mentioned that we were the first guests to stay with them with a child, and believe me, they went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. They are an incredibly caring and kind family. The bed was comfortable, we had hot water, the internet was fast, and all the essentials were always at our disposal. Our only regret is that it rained all three days in Ella, so we couldn't fully experience its magical beauty in good weather. However, during our time indoors, the hosts took great care of us—bringing us tea, fresh juices, snacks, and sweets. On our last evening, they even prepared a lovely dinner for us, which was a truly thoughtful gesture. Book this accommodation and let them pamper you!
