Pros:

Nous avons adoré notre séjour au Green Village. Nous y sommes restés 3 nuits mais nous aurions adoré rester plus longtemps. La vue est à couper de souffle et les hôtes étaient très attentionnés.
Nous avions une chambre pour 4, les lits étaient très confortables, la chambre était spacieuse, lumineuse et propre. La salle de bain restait basique mais ça nous convenait.
Le petit déjeuner était très bon et copieux et ils n'hésitaient pas à nous demander pour nous resservir si on avait encore faim.
Nous avons également adoré l'emplacement et c'est une des raisons pour laquelle nous avions choisi cet établissement. C'est à 5 min à pied seulement de la route principale avec bars et restaurants et pourtant nous nous sentions en pleine nature au milieu des singes, oiseaux et écureuils.

Pros:

It was one of our best stay in Sri Lanka. Clean and comfortable room with amazing view on Ella Rock, delicious breakfast and very nice and friendly hosts. As we checked out very early in the morning, the host prepared a packed breakfast for us. Thank you 😊

Manzara süper.
Pros:

Çalışan bayan o kadar nazik birisi ki anlatamam. Otel biraz dik bir yokuşta ama tuktuk ile gelip valizlerimizi aldılar ve odamıza götürdüler. Kahvaltıları gayet güzeldi. Balkon manzaraları bir harikaydı. Hiç bu kadar kibar ve nazik çalışanları görmemiştim. Konumu da yokuştan sonra her yere yürüme mesafesinde.

Cons:

Sadece sivri sinekler.

Pros:

Very friendly staff. They help you with the luggage as there is quite a steep hill. Breakfast fresh fruits and pancakes, it is very good!
Fridge in the rooms and nice view. It is located 5-10 min walk from the main road. The small street is really dark, but felt safe.

Wonderful view with very comfortable room, family lovely and breakfast delicious.
Pros:

The triple room we had on the top floor was lovely with the amazing view over the beautiful countryside. A very peaceful location only a short walk to the main streets for restaurants. Our breakfasts were delicious with large portions. Our hosts were so helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. The beds were very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Cons:

A steep hill to the guesthouse but the family took our luggage each way in a tuk tuk which was very good.

Cons:

Énormément de moustique dans la salle de bain, bruyant, pour aller au centre il faut monter un chemin extrêmement pentu (difficile pour des personnes âgées)

Pros:

Vistas desde la habitación de Ella Rock maravillosas. Una familia de anfitriones muy amable y serviciales. Desayuno muy completo y abundante.

Cons:

Instalaciones justitas.
Me he vuelto loca matando mas de 30 mosquitos enormes en el baño. Todo cerrado y seguian apareciendo. Había mosquitera pero me ha resultado desquiciante.
No aire acondicionado

If being close to town is your only priority , this is a good option.
Pros:

The view from the property was beautiful, and the location is very convenient as it is close to Ella town. The hosts were friendly and accommodating, and they served breakfast at the time we requested for an additional charge. The room was spacious and having a fridge inside was a nice convenience. Breakfast was ok.

Cons:

The bathroom needs significant maintenance, and the hot water pressure was low. No complimentary drinking water bottles were provided, which is something we usually expect when staying at accommodations. Not sure they forgot or not providing. The road leading to the property is very steep and completely dark at night as there are no lights.
Overall, while the location and views are the main highlights, we felt that the experience did not fully justify the price paid. If being close to town is your priority, it may still be a suitable option.

Pros:

We received a warm welcome at Green Village. Room was very large, comfortable & well equipped & furnished. Property is in a stunning location, quiet with amazing views but only a couple of minutes walk into the centre of Ella. Breakfast was very tasty with generous portions. There is a steep climb down to the property via a path but the owners met us at the top & took our luggage in a tuk tuk for us. When we left they transported our luggage to the train station about 500m away which we were very grateful for. Communication with the owners prior to our stay was good.

Cons:

Our balcony was very narrow although it is in the process of being extended. As the property is set on a hillside there is a steep climb to it & lots of steps to get to our room. Not a problem for us but not suitable for anyone with mobility problems.

A tranquil place in the nature
Pros:

Green Village was one of the best places we stayed during our trip to Sri Lanka. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome with their warm smiles and incredible hospitality. They were always happy to help and went out of their way to make sure we had a comfortable and memorable stay.

The highlight of this homestay is undoubtedly the view. Waking up to the panoramic view of Ella Rock and the surrounding lush green hills was simply magical. We spent hours relaxing on the balcony, enjoying the cool mountain breeze and the peaceful surroundings. It's the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring Ella. We saw lots of fireflies; maybe it's been 30 years since my childhood when I last saw them. My kids enjoyed the night sky, watching the stars and constellations, which are impossible to see from a city sky. We really enjoyed the night breeze.

Although it's only a short walk from the town, the property feels wonderfully quiet and secluded, offering the best of both worlds—easy access to restaurants and attractions while still enjoying complete tranquility.

The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and well maintained, and breakfast was fresh, delicious, and served with an unforgettable view. Every detail reflected the care and kindness of the host family.

If you're looking for a homestay with spectacular scenery, genuine Sri Lankan hospitality, and a peaceful atmosphere, Green Village is an easy 5-star choice. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Ella!

Cons:

Although the main street is a few minutes' walk, most of it is uphill. The owner has a tuk-tuk, which could be helpful. If you have a vehicle with you, then the path is not a problem.
