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! 🙏❤️

The location is not far from the downtown area but far enough to have a relaxing stay. You can easily walk to small Adams Peak and the 9 arch bridge from there. The host was a wonderful gentleman who made sure my stay was an excellent one and provided me with useful information during my stay. He even arranged my transfer to Trincomalee which I appreciated. The room itself was very comfortable with a fan that kept the room at a nice temperature as the nights are cool.Nice bed and good hot water pressure.

We had the discussion what differentiates an 8 star rating versus a 9 star one, and agreed the difference laid in the details. As someone who traveled 5 years straight and saw too many examples of people doing it wrong, it's always nice(but rare) to find someone doing it right. Most things that make a guest happy are available here. I mostly judge accommodations on value and these guys seem to have understood that. Great accommodation with great breakfast. Hats off guys.

Staff Thnaju is incredibly pleasant and softly spoken. Despite our last-minute need to leave before breakfast, he kindly offered us a fruit platter, even though we hadn't informed him in advance. The owner is remarkably attentive to small details, such as providing facial tissues, cotton buds, an umbrella, a beer opener, and even beer glasses, though we didn't use them. The minibar charges are more reasonable than those at the supermarket. The room is clean and cozy, with a powerful hot water supply for the shower! Thank you! ;)

    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.
