A lovely host at the property and a lovely location. The wildlife here is amazing and it was fun to see the monkeys and chipmunks. Unfortunately the room smelt damp, musty and so old. The feel was not clean for sleeping BuT the bathroom was nicely tiled and felt cleaner. we did a one night stay so just made the best of it. For location and wildlife this is great. We understand the mountain area is a damp environment and that we booked last minute so it was fine for that reason- I would not dismiss staying here but just bear in mind that it is basic and go for the joy of the wildlife- take mosquito spray- and some scented candle things-!! Loved the birds we saw off the balcony.

Serene and convenient

We loved our stay at Ella Green Cottages. Watching all the birds and wildlife from our balcony was a lovely experience. It's so peaceful given it's location so near the main road. There is a steep climb to get to the hotel, but it wasn't an issue for us and worth it for the quiet location. The bedroom was clean and we didn't see a single bug in there for our whole stay, even with the jungle-side location.

In the tree canopy with the monkeys

Ella green cottages is positioned right in the tree canopy and you can see monkey families coming to visit in the morning. The room was comfortable and clean and the shower got hot. We were given a generous and tasty breakfast and got good tips on walking to Ella rock in the morning. When we left we got outlet breakfast to go. Lovely place

Monkey's and birds were great...room was average. Could stand to clean construction debris from below the room. Beautiful environment around Ella...waaaay over developed! Alot of price gouging going on. I have no desire to return there. Thailand or Cambodia are much better deals from my experiences over the years.

The water pressure wasn't the best and it took a while till they made the internet work again but afterwards no complaints about the internet.The room and shower are fairly simple, I think it's overpriced for what you get but all in all I enjoyed the stay especially the breakfast on the balcony (good value!) with the monkeys. If you don't like wildlife, don't go there, though. Due to cracks in the roof and between the roof and the wall, we had two four legged visitors (gecko, mouse), which were harmless and stayed far away from us near the roof.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room really good size with very big bed and private bathroom. Very cool inside, so more than comfortable for sleep without fan or aircon. The floor needed a bit more of a clean / sweep in the room but the bathroom was really clean.There were two sealed bottles of water which was really useful. Room had a private balcony looking out to trees - there were birds and chipmunks around you could watch. Slept fairly well but there would be basey music playing at odd times - maybe from other hotels and there is construction around Ella so you will hear that in the day. Bit of an odd smell in the room which I think was probably just moisture in the bathroom or possibly bug spray, but I must say there were no issues with bugs or mosquitos and I usually get eaten alive. It would have been helpful to be shown around - it took me a while to figure out the light switches and which one was for the electric shower, plus I left with still no idea if there were any communal areas. I wasn’t aware you could book breakfast - worth noting as a lot of cafes don’t open until 9 (Barista is open early and some others like Kiri Kopi open at 7.30am) and if doing a sunrise hike you may need to prepare food for yourself or see if the hotel can accommodate you that early. When you arrive in Ella get a Tuk tuk - it’s a VERY steep walk with a large rucksack or suitcases. You can walk down to town easily from the hotel in 5 mins but it’s quite dark on the way back - a bit scary alone.

Ella green är ett fantastiskt litet ställe dit du tar dig efter en liten uppförsbacke. Vi hade utsikt över skogen med mycket fåglar och några apor. Personalen var mycket hjälpsam och bjöd på en god frukost med allt för mycket mat. 10 minuters promenad var vi nere i centrum med affärer restauranger vi stannade 2 nätter och är mycket nöjda med tanke på priset.

Værten var utrolig sød og hjælpsom, bl.a både m vasketøj og tuk tuk bestilling. Der blev serveret rigtig lækker og rigelig morgenmad på altanen, på det tidspunkt der passede gæsterne bedst.

Traumhafte Lage, Super Frühstück

Das Cottage liegt 10 Gehminuten vom Bahnhof entfernt und dicht am dem Weg zum liddle Adams Peak. Der Ausblick von Balkon ist direkt in den Urwald, einfach Traumhaft. Das Frühstück ist lokal, super lecker und sehr umfangreich. Wer ein europäisches Frühstück erwartet ist aber definitiv falsch. Das betrifft auch den fehlenden Kaffee, den es in Sri Lanka aber nie dazu gibt . Allerdings gab es Tee zum Frühstück. Die Ausstattung des Zimmers hatte alles was man braucht inkl. einer tollen Dusche (mit lustigen Motiven an den Fliesen) und einer europäischen Toilette. Allerdings hat das Zimmer ein Blechdach, in der Regensaison wird man kein Auge zumachen können. Angesehen davon hällt das Cottage alles was die Website verspricht und ist in der Trockenheit nur zu empfehlen. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
