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.

Amazing staff! 80% of whatever we did was with their help and guidance. Safari, hiking, cafe, you name it. We recommend Yala for safari. We were lucky to see elephants, bear and even a jaguar with the guide suggested by the hosts. We went on 5-8 october. The view is astonishing and when it rains it's truly unique. They serve delicious breakfast. The coffee is great too. Comfy and clean beds. While here, we recommend at least 2-3 days in Ella, go to Little Adam's Peak for sunrise, go to Asanka Cafe for a view to the Nine Arch Bridge, go to Yala Safari if you have a day to spare, go to the Uva Halpewatte Tea Factory. Reading a book with a view and some tea at this accomodation was delightful.

Our stay at Shinning Green View in Ella was fantastic! The location is perfect—close to Little Adam's Peak and the iconic Nine Arch Bridge, two of the most popular attractions in the area. It made exploring Ella so convenient and enjoyable. What truly stood out was the incredible staff. They were so friendly, helpful, and attentive, always going the extra mile to ensure we had a comfortable stay. Their warm hospitality made us feel so welcome throughout our visit. The rooms were clean, cozy, and offered beautiful views of the lush surroundings. It was the perfect place to relax after a day of sightseeing. If you're visiting Ella and looking for a great place to stay with excellent service, Shinning Green View is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

I only stayed here for one night but the room is exceptional, you have everything you need, it is one of the best locations I have stayed in Sri Lanka, very clean both in the bathroom and in the room and the view is gorgeous, I asked them to have breakfast ready at 7:30am and at 7:29am they messaged me that I could come down to serve breakfast, what more can I say, I highly recommend it.

    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.
