Green Village

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.

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

Except view, nice breakfast, very humble and friendly host

The entrance to the property is very steep. The light in my room was not enough.

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!

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.

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.

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.
