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 such a lovely stay at Wingate Homestay. The owner was so kind and welcoming, and she cooked us a delicious Sri Lankan breakfast every morning, always with plenty of fresh fruit – a real highlight of our stay! The room was charming and comfortable, with a mosquito net and a fan to keep things cool. The bathroom was modern and clean, with reliable hot water in the shower. The location is excellent – just a 5-minute walk into the main town, making it easy to explore Ella while still enjoying a peaceful setting. We originally planned to stay for a shorter time but ended up staying 3 nights because we liked it so much. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Ella!

The hospitality was second to none. Amazingly friendly and helpful booking tuk-tuks and giving advice on trips etc. The breakfast is epic, you won’t need to eat until dinner time. The room was great with a fantastic view. We absolutely loved it here and highly recommend it! It’s a short, cheap and fun filled tuk tuk journey from Ella town. Thank you guys for a super stay

The host, Ake, was very friendly and helpful. The view from the rooms and the terrace is really stunning and with lots of beautiful birds. We saw chestnut-headed beeaters, common hawk-cuckoo, woodpecker, brown-headed barbet, sunbirds and red-vented bulbuls. The property is away from the road and quiet which is a bonus, however, still in a short walking distance from the city center. AC was working fine, the bath is the best we have tried on our 2 week trip to Sri Lanka and the breakfast is good.

    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
