The Green Village was by far the highlight of our holiday in Shri Lanka. It has perfect location, excellent service and clean rooms. The members of staff were very nice and helpful. When we arrived to the hotel, we were wet and cold because of sudden rain that caught us on the road. The hostess brought us hot tea and snacks right away as well as a hairdryer. The included breakfast was delicious. The hosts also advised us where to refuel the scooter and when to go to the Nine-arch bridge. And of course it is hard to describe the perfect beauty of Ella Rock that you will see from your terrace. I hope that we'll come back again to this wonderful hotel!

The view from the room is breathtaking. Breakfast at the balcony with the waterfall view is superb. The overall service is good and there’s a lot of privacy as you get the room all by yourselves. Everything else is new and well maintained.

Gaia

From

Italy

The room at the second floor is perfect. Recently constructed, very cleaned and comfortable with everything you need. The balcony is very cozy, great for having breakfast under the sun and to chill out in the evening watching the beautiful green landscape. In addition to this, what makes Breeze Blows Inn the perfect accommodation in Ella, are: the hosts - they really care for the guests, they bring you to the station with tuk tuk for free, they pack the breakfast and give many advices; the location - the inn is right in front the entrance of the shortcut for the nine arch bridge and very close to the little Adam’s peak path, good also to go to the main road of the city by foot for only 5 mins walk. ABSOLUTELY RECOMMENDED

Filipa

From

The house is located tucked away in the hills. It is very quiet and very peaceful. There is only one room (where we stayed) in the house so you get a real nice home stay experience. The breakfast was the best we have had in Sri Lanka so far, very tasty and a very big portion that we enjoyed in the balcony every morning. Everything is run by the family and they are very nice and helpful. We got tips of where to go and the hosts also connected us with a tuktuk driver that took us around to the places further away that we wanted to visit. They can also help sort out scooters if preferred. We also got tips where to do laundry which was a very solid recommendation.

Anna-Karin

From

Sweden

Everything was superb and it was probably the best sunrise of our lives. That morning is absolutely among the top-ten travelling experiences together with for example, the Great Barrier reef, Rio de Janeiro, Kyoto, the Victoria Falls and sunset at Ao Prao beach at Koh Samet. The view from the balcony (and the bed) was spectacular. We sat on the balcony from 5.30 watching the sunrise over the mountains accompanied by the monks soft and humming morning prayers, truely magic. We then had a wonderful breakfast served at our balcony with the greatest of views. Thank you for being so welcoming and for taking so well care if us. Next time we will, for sure, stay for more than one night.
