The room was clean. View from the room was great! They provide breakfast on the table infront of your room from where you can enjoy the view. Loved everything. At first there was no drinking water inside the room and I had to ask for that. Have not asked about the toiletries, so dont know if they have forgotten it or they don't provide anything.

This place is definitely worth staying. We had the best feeling of "leisure" there. You would never find a property like this elsewhere. Breakfast was so good, and the staff is so kind and helpful. We were so lucky to visit the stay on the very first flight to Sri Lanka.  We had a breathtaking walk into the green jungle down there. It was so marvelous and interesting. We walked on water, rocks, tree trunks, etc. to visit the hidden waterfall there. No words to say; you must visit and feel

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! 🙏❤️
