Naadhika and her family were the perfect hosts. Absolutely polite, accommodative and helpful. Naadhika's mother made us delicious home cooked breakfasts and dinners. We were tired of eating outside food during our trip, so their food was a good healthy break for us. Naadhika's mom is an awesome cook. Their homestay was probably the best experience we had amongst the six other homestays we stayed during our two week trip. We rented their scooter for two days which they offered at a lower price than other commercial places. They even accommodated our request to extend our stay by one day at the last minute and modified their other bookings. Naadhika has a very pleasant personality and is always smiling and her mother is a lovely and sweet lady. If you're looking for a quiet, comfortable stay, and if this place is available, please book it right away. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here if I ever visit Ella.

Lush in Ella is a brand new venue and a true hidden gem in the middle of the jungle. Yet it is very close to the center of the town. The owner Saman and her husband made us feel very special, especially pampering us with delicious homemade breakfasts. The room, bathroom, and balcony are very clean, the Internet works well, The washroom is spacious.

Perfect jungle stay with perfect food We were greeted as a family members, we felt very homey and the staff did their best we felt comfortable, asking if we needed anything and prepared perfect Srilankan dinner. The resort is nested in the middle of the jungle surrounded with hills and lights at night. The Rawana cave entrance is just accross the street. It is a bit out if the city, but reachable by tuktuk. Nice stay with clean rooms and great views. Breakfast was really huge and deliciously fresh. We were served the most delicious sambol we had eaten in two weeks! Furthermore, excellent bed and facilities including mosquito net (was necessary because of many mosquitoes). The hostess immediately took our bags and we were not allowed to carry them..

The wonderful host has such an incredible smile and laugh. She made us feel at home straight away and was constantly offering us tea. The provided breakfasts were absolutely massive and delicious, and the one dinner we had at Bliss was equally good. The room was simple but spacious and clean, and you take breakfast on an outdoor table looking over the beautiful forest and beyond. The homestay is a 10 minute Tuktuk ride out of Ella but you are given the number of a fantastic driver who will take you anywhere you need to go in the area at any time.
